I password protect it because I don't want its content crawled by Google. If you register, I'll get you set up as a reader. The website functions as a fully-searcheable wikipedia, with over 1,270 pages at this point. I've catalogued every NPC, player character, event, map, place, region, city...

It's been months since I have updated here. I thought I'd share what I'd like to call "Welcome to Deismaar". http://beyondthepalerpg.com The world of Deismaar is a project several years in the making. After our stint with Forgotten Realms in the early 90's, and our move towards Planescape, our...

Wargames met their death knell in the 90's. Computer strategy games have nearly replaced them all (with perhaps rare exception to the almost cult-like following behind Warhammer). Mearls seems to indicate that there is some similar trends amongst tabletop games, and WotC has to adapt to some...

Looks great! But one bit of feedback - it would be nice to have a filter for Powers by Level. Right now, there are only filters for Type, Action and Usage. This would help me assign powers by simply selecting ones that fit other monsters by level. Cheers, Daniel

It's total cheese; I don't allow it in my games.

WotC, if you're reading this - please include the ability to rename powers (with the original power name in small parenthesis below the listing) in the August update! ;) Patiently yours, Daniel

A campaign wiki that's fully searchable by term, hyperlinked and weekly updates from the last campaign session. For instance - The Last Cataclysm: Year 200 / A Tale of Stained Honor

Dump AC, impliment DR. Dump stats, impliment passive and active Fortitude/Reflex/Will stats to govern to hit/defenses. Expand the skill list, governed by trained and active Fortitude/Reflex/Will "active" stats Standardize weapon damage by simple, military and superior (one handed, two handed...

Ten dollars is still far too much for a PDF core system. Truth be told, the price of PDFs is primarily why there is so much damn piracy. I feel people are far more reticent to purchase PDFs at any price above 5 dollars, as opposed to gambling away 30 bucks on a hardcover product.

I use the iTunes program to help manage track lists for major cities, ambience in forests, cityscapes, battles and military camps, while employing Atmosphere Deluxe for natural soundscapes of wharfs, people in markets, seasonal weather, thunderstorms and the like. You can run both in...

We track ammo, and allow a player to carry twenty arrows in his quiver/bolt case/gunpowder sack. If the player makes a successful saving throw at the end of the encounter, he can recover all of his ammunition. If not, they're simply gone.

Half undead, for real? This is precisely why I hate high fantasy. /handwaves these trivial absurdities away

Here are my recommendations, based on current weapon selection within the game as to balance these weapons. Ignore the historical, real world equivalents; otherwise, you'd have practically useless weapons that no one would dare take. Pistol (use Superior Crossbow in DDi application...

Unaligned means they can be any alignment.

More or less, this is supposed to be a battle they clearly cannot win (as their foes are clearly stronger than they are), but are prepared to engage in it anyhow in order to further the storyarc. I have a strong feeling they're going to put up a fight, as opposed to simply parlaying with the...

I hope that the next expansion allows players to rename their powers. Been sitting on this one for a while! ;)

My players are all around level 8-10. We're at the end of a huge storyarc, and in short (without going too much into the story or exposition) they're going to be able to follow two choices - one of which will lead to joining their foe, and another which will lead to their capture. While I want...

Whether it's standing in a park, beneath an office parking lot at dark, walking around the woods or playing in the safe confines of your house, pretending to be someone else while dressed up and resolving actions with paper, rock, scissors, it's all derivative of Vampire and "lighting bolt...

Yes. Read about the Divine Source here - http://deismaar.pbworks.com/Divine+Source. Put thru a request to join the wiki, as I keep it private. It's a monotheistic approach to treating a pantheon of gods as singular faces of one singular god.
