    Our First 3.5 game session -- First Blush

    If you total up the levels of the characters in your party and then divide by 4 (the number of recommended characters for an encounter), that should give you a more accurate party level. 10 + 7 + 10 + 9 + 10 + 8 + 8 = 62 / 4 = 15.5 round down to 15th-level party I agree you should raise...

    Game props and pictures

    ((Deleted due to the extreme frustration of trying to attach a pic, then posting a link that wouldn't work, and finally giving up on trying to show an example of a prop I use.))

    Gen Con - Seminars & Programming

    Actually, the system is set up so you can't see the events until you've registered and paid for your passes. That's why you can't see anything on the website -- you have to go through registration.

    [tooting my own horn] Today Dragon, tomorrow the world!!

    Well, none of you know me as all I do is mostly lurk, but I've appeared in Dragon several times, twice this year, in fact. :D :: points to signature ::

    The Gamers dvd (Possible Spoilers!)

    Apparently the purple ninja is a running gag with the Dead Gentlemen. When I watched the trailer for Dead Camper Lake, the purple ninja was mentioned! I agree with Gnarlo...the psychological analysis commentary is hilarious!

    The Gamers dvd (Possible Spoilers!)

    Hello everyone, I just got The Gamers dvd in the mail today and wanted to share my thoughts about it. While there's not really a plot to spoil, some people don't like to see a movie after they've heard all about it, so please disregard this thread if you want to watch it with no foreknowledge...

    Supplies for a New DM

    I will definitely second the Chessex battlemat, as well as the wet erase markers to write on it. I've found it amazingly handy for noting spell areas of effect, the location of furniture and which way doors open, etc., and it all washes away in a few swipes of a wet paper towel. I've also...

    Oriental Adventures Balanced?

    When WotC hosted the designer chats for Oriental Adventures and the Psionics Handbook, they said the classes in each supplement were not balanced when compared to the core classes, only to the classes for those respective settings.

    The 'classic' monsters: Who made 'em?

    In one of her seminars at GenCon 2001, Jean Rabe talked about creating the froghemoth. She said she also was responsible for "converting" the dragons from 1st to 2nd edition.

    Will you have a limited amount of copies for sale at GenCon, before the actual release date?

    Dungeon #99 - Is the end near?

    The June issue of Dragon always features dragons...it's the anniversary issue. As for the prevalence of dragons in one's campaign, I don't see as how it applied to this issue. One article assumed dragons were fairly common in a campaign -- "Heavy Gear," the one discussing dragon equipment...

    Non Conventional Campaign Settings

    I have to give props to both Planescape and Oathbound as unique and challenging settings. I also think Ghostwalk would be a unique approach. Pinnacle put out Hostile Climes: The Depths of Despair which is a city at the bottom of a whirlpool -- I haven't done anything with it, but it certainly...

    Fighter or Ranger? Which makes a better archer?

    Re: Re: Fighter or Ranger? Which makes a better archer? Manyshot is a 3E general feat in the Epic Level Handbook. It's certainly an option without taking 3.5 changes into consideration yet.

    Are you using 3.5 now?

    I've changed the facing for my creature counters. Creatures that were formerly 5 ft. by 10 ft. are 10 ft. square now. I've also given dwarves, gnomes, and orcs weapon familiarity with their respective racial weapons. Since they announced it for the dwarf it was a pretty safe bet they'd do it...
