I was just wondering how Planescape fans have reconciled with the fact that other campaign settings (such as FR and DL) are now contained within their own cosmologies. Have fans kept those settings as part of the Great Wheel? Or, have fans caused some world-shaking event in their campaigns that...

Thanks folks. It sounds like I should pick it up then. I love Monte Cook's work . . . it's just that this one was a big investment. :)

I haven't picked up a copy of "Ptolus: City by the Spire" yet but I understand a fair bit of a "steampunk" influence underpins the setting in the form of machines and chaositech. Now, this all sounds great - all very creative and a fresh change from standard fantasy - but the problem is: If I...

Thanks :)

I just picked up a copy of Gate of Firestorm Peak and was wondering how many fold-out maps originally came with it. The back blurb says "4 full-color poster maps". My copy came with 2 fold-out maps but they are double-sided maps . . . which I guess could mean 4 maps? If you bought this module...

No takers? What has many faces but no mouths Is sharper than a sword And looks splendid on any hand? Answer is: Diamond

Well, I ran the session yesterday and all went well. Most of us guessed each others' riddles (at least after a clue being offered after an INT check). I ended up using a bunch of riddles I found with a google search for "D&D riddles". My players threw a few riddles at me (the sphinx) and they...

Thanks! :)

Perhaps "A God, A Half-Man, A Land. What am I?" (Ans.: Iuz) . . . due to the fact that he's half-fiend/half-human? :)

Thanks. :) What about saving throws? Do they stay the same? The PHB says you get the STR, DEX and CON of the creature you assume. Do the bonuses of these apply to your stats (like saving throws)? Thanks!

I just wanted to know if hps stayed the same when you polymorph. The PHB says you get the CON of the creature you polymorph into so, by rights, your hps should be altered accordingly shouldn't they? Thanks :)

The last session ended just at this point. So, out of play the players have had the opportunity to come up with a couple of riddles. It's a bit of light-hearted fun to start off the next session otherwise, yes, it's just a treasure for info swap. I intend the sphinx to give the player's fairly...

I'm running White Plume Mountain and one of the PCs has challenged the sphinx at the entrance to a riddle match in order to extract information from her. Basically, if she can't answer the PC's riddle, she'll have to give him info on the inhabitants of the mountain. Then it's the sphinx's...

I totally agree but if I said this to my players I know they would howl and whine that I'm not rewarding them for their creativity. How do you explain such a thing to players? Do you just say: "Those are the rules and you'll just have to accept it. If there were no rules power-gaming would get...

Would a 6-foot longbow be cumbersome strapped to the back? Should any penalties be applied. I know if you strap a shield to the back, penalties apply.

I was just wondering what the consensus on the appearance of magic missles was? In the Scourge of Worlds DVD D&D adventure they are depicted as small glowing balls. And, I must admit, I've always envisioned them as being glowing darts of force. If they do glow with light, however, that means...

I was just wondering how one carries a longbow in D&D because many NPCs in modules have them while at the same time wield sword and shield. I thought because it was 6-foot long and flimsy my players would have to carry it in hand and then drop it when you go into melee. Is this too cruel? And...

Thanks, folks, for your help :) Now that you mention it, maybe I did get it off the CD that came with the 3E PHB . . . I still have that CD somewhere so I'll try and find it. Thanks again!

I'm trying to find a free pdf adventure I downloaded a year or so ago but have lost. I can't quite remember the title (I think "Winter" was in the title). Basically, it was a 3E adventure taken from Dungeon magazine and uploaded somewhere as a free pdf. The adventure was set in a harsh winter...

Hi Gary, Will there be a map of your Greyhawk city in the new Saga of Old City release? Thanks
