    Dungeon #124 has arrived!

    Erik, Great work on Dungeon. I resubscribed for three years in February as my subscription expired after seeing the changes implemented since 113. I have also been impressed by the customer service at Paizo since it changed about two years ago, so the following issue makes me a bit worried...

    Making Crystal Caste battle mats better?

    Hi folks! Months ago I bought a Crystal Caste battle mat. I liked their dice if I don't use the funky ones, and it was the only really large mat in the FLGS. Well, I used it Saturday and it's terrible for holding wet erase (overhead projector) marker ink. Terrible. (I'm not complaining about...

    DUNGEON's NEW STAT BLOCK FORMAT

    It comes at the cost of column-inches, though. In other words, less stuff for a friendlier stat block. Personally I think they ARE beautiful and they DO make it easier to reference for combat statistics. However, I could read the old ones.

    Early 3E memory in need of name, plot

    I remember that one now. I had it on my HD before The Crash in November. :/ I never pulled it back over. However, that's not the one. The one I'm thinking of had just oodles of orcs attacking this poor village, and we were 6th-level characters (my DM played it as a one shot). The two orc armies...

    The Drow War I . . . it rocks!

    What's it cost? What's the page count? Who wrote it?

    Naming dopplegangers

    Hi folks! Dopplegangers normally adopt the moniker of whomever they're impersonating... but what do they call themselves in your campaign? The latest Eberron article on the Lhazaar Principalities got me to thinking... and the AU mention of their being unbound (IIRC) made me realize they...

    Early 3E memory in need of name, plot

    Hi folks! I played in an early D20 mini-module in which the plot went something like: hordes of orcs are preparing to attack a town. You have two days to get there. Once you're there, you discover there are actually two warring factions of orcs bearing down on the town. You fight them in a fun...

    Big Eyeblink Wow... Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Core, Splat, OA - together again for the first time! Have you decided to tone that down yet?

    Question on aids to turn undead - check for accuracy

    Play without turn undead. Better yet, play without clerics. ;)

    What about releasing a product outline, or even a mind map?

    That's cool - what was the next session like?

    Blackberry: Have one or don't have one? Love it or hate it?

    That's the reason I bought my Treo 600 - needed a PDA for work, needed a phone for work, and I recalled pockets stuffed with electronics, inconvenient air travel, and so forth. I have never regretted it - Treos are MP3 players, (bad) cameras, phones, PDAs, wireless Internet devices...

    Strange Things you've encountered?

    Decanter of Endless Blood I can't recall if it was in a published module, but by 1E Cavalier Jeph Ather found a small decanter that generated an endless amount of blood when unstoppered. Needless to say, it was my favorite item ever.

    Need Help for a Dwarf with a Deadline

    I realize you're not looking for help creating the dwarf, but you should let us know more about him and your campaign. Other resources might help more than Races of Stone. - Ket

    Orson Scott Card on Trek & Rebuttal

    Borrow or buy the set. Watch from the beginning to the end as presented on the DVD. While doing so, try to forget what you've already seen. Fox screwed it up by showing it out of order. One of the flaws of the show is that it really should be seen in order, at least most of that first season...

    Darkvision, Shadows and HiPS

    Aluvial, It does. Please review the Hide skill: Thus, if the SD is moving he takes -5 or -20 to his Hide check. If he moves at half speed for no penalty, that's a full-round action to get into position if it's farther away than 1/4 of his full movement rate. If he attacks, he either gets...

    Darkvision, Shadows and HiPS

    YOUR shadow... I am of the opinion that a "local" shadow is required. As a DM, that seems most fair. (As a player... well, that's obvious.) :) So what counts as your shadow? If a SD carries a continual flame object (pebble) together with another object and drops it at his feet, does the shadow...

    Darkvision, Shadows and HiPS

    No buts. Your argument collapses just before the second comma. Try to argue - or even acknowledge - the "green" argument for fun and profit. :) Question for the rules-folks: are we talking "local" shadows (those cast by torches, lanterns, bonfires, trees) or "global" shadows (those cast by the...
