A friend of mine showed me the RPGA reward version of Tomb of Horrors, and it looks great! It's a definite dungeon crawl, but all of the traps are imaginative and there're tons of puzzles. The plot is garbage, of course (mad wizard makes dungeon just to mess with adventurers) but as an adventure...

I ran H1, and as everyone else is saying, it's a complete slog. It's just room after room after room of encounters, often with the same types of monsters you JUST finished killing - so you don't even get the variety of a different type of opponent. Their only real point of interest in the entire...

Sorcerer :P

Monster manual 3 is best.

The man from Del Monte, he say, "Boom!".

This sounds a lot like my old Twilight 2000 campaign. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it was the grognardiest of systems - charts for everything! Want to build a house? Consult the chart[/i]. Want to scavenge food? Consult [b]the chart. Best of all - none of the charts made sense compared...

Well, I'm glad that there are no problems with the system. I'm gonna switch to it when my players hit paragon. I'll report back when I've gotten a feel for it. You know, some of the major alterations and new systems for 3e were things like Conan, Iron Heroes and some of the Unearthed Arcana...

Hans? Uh, Hans? Our hats have skulls on them, Hans... Do you think we're the bad guys?

The minions in MM3 are actually pretty nasty for a change.

Could you elaborate on why you like them so much?

Yup. Effectively the inherent bonuses just replace the "plus" part of magic gear, so for instance at level 9 any weapon or armour you pick up counts as +2. In effect, a level 9 guy who picks up a flaming sword counts as wielding a +2 flaming sword, while a level 30 guy who does so counts as...

Anyone else find that Slaanesh usually wins, with Khorne close behind?

I'm ending a campaign arc (end of heroic tier) with a battle with the big-evil (which is a monster taking the form of a human adversary of theirs) in front of a huge obsidian portal in a knee-deep lake of blood. I need to make it epic and awesome, so what's the best end-boss fight you've...

Then I guess my point went over your head somewhere.

Really? I thought the Armbands of Standard Equipment and the Bracers of Standard Archer Equipment were generally considered to be unbalanced items. And surely you can still add them to your game, can't you?

I can't think of many activities more shameful and dishonourable for a soldier than occupying sovereign nations against the will of their people and massacring unarmed protesters, but maybe your standards are different to mine. Admin here. Let's be spectacularly clear about this: one of the...

Has anyone tried using the rules from page 138 of the DMG2 to get rid of the "basic plus" magic items? I feel like my players are kind of snowed under with magic kit and they have to find new stuff basically all the time to keep up. I'd also like to do a plotline where my characters end up...

Grognards - ageing has-beens trudging towards inevitable defeat, shame and dishonour following a once-great but increasingly senile and syphilitic cause... I'm not sure if the whole Napoleonic metaphor is really all that flattering a label.

Huh? You basically win against a solo in one round? Is your party made exclusively of DPS monsters from the Wizards Character Optimisation boards?

Hybriding is definitely a system mastery type thing. I have a player who LOVES delving through reams of rules to make a powerful character (his first RP experience was Shadowrun, so I can see why) and he's all over the hybrid rules. Though he's going to make a paladin/warlock, which is a bit of...
