    Need help with buffs for teleport blitz

    We payed, which wasn't too much of a problem, as one character is a high ranking baron and another has a well-paying teaching position at a magical college. The purchased spell was one of those high-level varients that allowed the caster to not come along for the ride, and I think had increased...

    Need help with buffs for teleport blitz

    Our 8th level group (3.0e with 3.5e Big H spells) performed our first teleport blitzkrieg last session, against some sort of Salt Demon. We used a Protection from Evil, some Resist Elements, and a Greater Magic Weapon, and a Haste, but not much else aside from that... It went like this: on the...

    9th level, baby, yeah!

    Played a session of D&D yesterday. It rocked, and we just reached 9th level. Also, we performed the first true skuleo of the campagin, obtaining 50 platinum, a folding boat, six feather tokens, two Impermiable Vials (which can hold anything, up to and including souls, knowledge, Death, and that...

    How many of you have tried designing youor own game?

    I have designed many games, and consider myself something of an expert. A few of them are here, and others can be found at jpatt.net, 1km1kt.net, and 24hourrpg.com. And, aside from all that free stuff, I have published one game, Pagoda, as part of the No Press Anthology, at www.nopress.net...

    NC Game Day (Dates posted for NCGDVI-VII on top of page 16)

    Oh, damn. Oh damn oh damn oh damn. I feel immensely stupid. I can't believe that it took me this long... oh, damn, and about a hundred I'm Sorries on top of that to Torm, Oncarou, and Kemelpanik. Here's the deal: 1) I am Jewish. 2) Tomorrow is Yom Kippur. 3) Yom Kippur is the most important...

    Mr. T's War Elephants and rules for Howdahs

    10 HD is, in fact, too little for a war elephant, if you want it to be more powerful than a normal one (which has 11 HD; at least in 3.0, anyway). Our party actually has a war elephant, although we've never rode him into battle. The GM statted him out by just advancing a normal one by +1 HD. --Jeff

    D20 Modern & Pokemon

    Last I knew, the Pokemon monstrous compendium got hacked and just about all of it was lost. Shame--there was some quality stuff in there. --Jeff

    D20 Future (SRD) what's (not so) good and what can be improved (and how)?

    So I flipped through d20 Future today at Borders and saw quite a bit of rather nifty Stuff, but, alas, I didn't have the cash on me. So, I gotta ask--has anyone got the link to the d20F SRD handy? Thanks, --Jeff

    Spare us the manipulative metaphors

    Is it just me, or does bashing a company for trying to, you know, make money, seem a bit... silly? Especially when it's not causing anybody any harm? --Jeff

    'Sall good. If you choose Shark, then you can play the romance up or down to whatever level you and Torm are comfortable with. The Captain's cool to--if he's passed up he'll act in a Princess Leia's Father capacity; if not, something like a... well, however you want. :) And yeah, Harrison Ford...

    NC Game Day (Dates posted for NCGDVI-VII on top of page 16)

    Sweet. Players. :cool: I'm going to be making six pre-gens for the game; four will become players and the other two some of the major NPCs. To wit (and repost from earlier in the thread): It's been two decades since the end of the border wars with the mysterious, bug-like Arthraxans. The...

    What, a veiled jab at me isn't enough? ;) -- Also: is there any interest in the Feng Shui game? If that's a negative, I think it'd be more prudent for me to strike it and sign up as a player for the AM slot. --Jeff

    Hi all-- I've just snagged a spot in Rel's Orcz Reducz game. In other news, school starts tomorrow (boo!), and I will be an official game designer as of August 19th (yay!). Check out booth 1141 at Gencon. :cool: And in other other news, my morning Feng Shui game is feeling forlorn and lonely...

    Creative Cursing

    There was a pretty huge thread on this topic in House Rules a year or two back. I'd go a-hunting for it if I were a Community Supporter, but alas... :: Wherever you go, the sky is overcast, and it drizzles. :: You cannot start fires without magical aid. :: People don't like you. Whenever you...

    Er, yes, about that: I accidentally submitted it twice. Acccidental activation of hot-keys and all that. Could the first one--the "tournament" one--be removed? Thanks, --Jeff North Carolina: Home Of People Who Don't Know How To Use The Internet Properly

    WOTC trading card games patent?

    IIRC, the patent is for the concept of tilting cards sideways or upsidedown or whatever in order to represent certain game effects or situations. Or something like that. It's definitely much narrower than TCGs as an entirity. --Jeff

    'Sup ya'll. I had planned to attent Tinoc*coN, but, you know how those things are. :):):):) Came Up. Ugh. Gaming at a con officially > running around airports. Anyway, there's only one way that I can make up for it: Run FENG SHUI again at the gameday! Feng Shui in SPAAAAAAAAAAACE! It's been...

    Homebrew – Where did you start?

    I love drawing maps. I draw LOTS of them, mostly unrelated. Some are used for a friend's campaign, some just lie around. When I create one that I end up really liking, I'll copy it into ink (making minor corrections), and then open a document and write a paragraph or two about the major...

    Expanded Psionics Handbook Play Use?

    Both in conjunction. +4d6 Dissolving Weapon when unpumped and +2d6 Psionic Weapon. I guess calling it "regular" is a bit overstepping it... more like "once per combat when it really counts." Is there a rule that we missed that prohibits that combo?
