    Eberron / Sunken city in Thunder Sea / Adventure Ideas

    T-REX with Water Element Creature Template I ran an underwater adventure once in the City of Glass on the elemental plane of Water. One memorable encounter involved a T-REX with the water element creature template. He was made out of water, so he was practically invisible in water (50% miss...

    Magical Baubles, Trinkets & Toys in your games?

    I handed out an animated rope to one of my players once. He named it silky. It would snake itself up walls and tie itself off so the rogue could climb it. It would also untie itself and coil itself up. It had kind of a personality and the player really treasured it. Another thing I have...

    Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

    World Serpent Inn? World Serpent Inn would make sense. It was the framing setting for the 1e Planar Adventure book Tales from the Outer Planes. Erik has definitely demonstrated his deft mastery of all things planar. It would not surprise me if it was a plane-spanning mega-adventure that used...

    "Real" Gold Pieces

    I have multiple suggestions for you. 1) check out a Party Pig store, or any party supply store. Go to the Pirate Party theme section. There you will find bags of gold dubloons. They might also be in the Mardi-Gras section. 2) check out a teacher supply store. I went to one called Teacher...

    Erik Mona's secret project revealed yet?

    I'm with Boz, I bet it is a Greyhawk project. Could be a Greyhawk campaign setting book. Could be a Castle Greyhawk book. Or possibly a Greyhawk mega-adventure.

    WotC message boards: Are they down?

    I have been having trouble all day accessing WotC boards. They are extremely slow to load if they load at all and I cannot post at all. Not having problems with any other website, just WotC.

    I would totally pay for the content listed above. Depends how much they charge, but all of that is something I would be interested in.

    Inspirational Fantasy Movies

    There is a great film called "The Advocate" or alternatively "The Hour of the Pig" staring Colin Firth, about of all things a medieval attorney who has to defend a pig against the charge of witchcraft. It has a great twist ending.

    Inspirational Fantasy Movies

    The Raven - an old Roger Corman film, has a great mage duel, probably the first mage duel on screen. Vincent Price and Peter Lorre battle it out old school, with magic missile and magic shields. Its very cool. Arabian Adventure - a really fun Arabian style fantasy film, with Christopher Lee...

    Counters .pdf file sizing help

    There are a couple of ways to do this. I thought Counter Collection Gold had folders with all the jpg files in them? If it does, then from MS Word on the menu you go to "insert" "picture" from "file" and then browse the disk to select the picture you want and just insert it into your word...

    Last Chance to join the Custom Adventure Project!

    While I was typing I didn't realize that Wolfgang himself was responding above. I don't think my description did the adventure the justice that he did, but I can add that I have been running an early draft version of the adventure for the past couple weeks in my home game, and the players have...

    Last Chance to join the Custom Adventure Project!

    Oh there is soooo much more than that. It is a complex adventure of over 80 pages. There are three interweaving plots. One involves a clockwork mage and an arcane college. Another plot involves a merchant lord who is in league with the forces of Hell. The third arc involves the Mouse King...

    FR Sages, is there any place in Faerun for a gothic realm?

    There are a lot of places it would fit. Narfell would be good. Thesk, the Great Dale, Vaasa, The Ride, Damara. You could put it in a few places in the North, perhaps sandwiched between the Greypeaks mountains and the Serpent Hills. Or just west of the Stormhorns. Or the Gulthmere forest...

    Is it a good idea to pull a lever in a dungeon?

    Almost every room in a modern home has a lever on the wall, usually unmarked. I am referring of course to a lightswitch. A dungeon builder would usually have a utilitarian purpose for installing a lever. Depending how much the DM likes to model a realistic world, a lever would most likely do...

    Why do Dwarves drink Whiskey or Ale?

    I don't see why they couldn't grow wheat and barley and corn underground. With a perpetual daylight spell cast at the top of a suitable cavern, they could grow very healthy crops, in a closed, protected environment, free from surface pests and weather hazards in near hydroponic conditions. If...
