    Summer Gaming Report: What Are You Playing?

    Continuing with my long running 3.5 campaign, plus playing in a brief 3.5 interlude as I take a short break from DMing. I'm also thinking of forming a second group to try out some Pathfinder as well.

    A new dungeon map every day (throughout May)

    Ah, I see. It's interesting to see how the vector image turned out - very nicely, I might add. Many thanks for insight :)

    A new dungeon map every day (throughout May)

    These are great map, Kris. Are these done entirely in photoshop (or whatever software you use) or is there any freehand involved?

    Beholder eye stalks

    Hi ScionJustice, I think what azhrei_fje was trying to say is that you've posted your question in the rules forum, so will generally speaking get a repsonse based on the RAW. You might be better starting a new thread in the D&D 3rd Edition House Rules forum, which is a better place for...

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    Thanks for the positive feedback, guys :) I'm certainly glad if this thread motivates a few people to pick up their paint brushes and have a go themselves, as it was pogre's and kris' threads that partly inspired me. That and the crappy paint jobs of the recent ddm stuff they've been putting...

    Wizard in Melee, step back and shoot? and staff Q.

    You can't do this by the RAW. You can only ready a standard action (PHB p160), but charging is a full round action (PHB p155).

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    With the wings done, the balrog was pretty much done! I wanted to make sure the black looked dull, as if it absorbed light, so added very dark highlights, just to draw out some definition on the wings on particular, face and the cooled molten areas. I also finished off a couple of small...

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    So, onto the wings. At this point, the fear came back. Doing the wings was going to be hard, as any mistakes would be there for everyone to see. The wingspan is big! I wanted the wings to be black, on the whole, with a hint of fire poking through, with progressively less from the body-side...

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    I also now painted the fiery mane and sword with a couple of coats of white, to remove even more of the orange. Anything that kept taking away the orange was a good thing IMO! At this point I realized that I was going to have to complete the base before I tackled the flames, since in certain...

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    The balrog is plastic and comes unassembled on a sprue, so, the first thing was to put everything together, then fill all the gaps with some green stuff and do a little sculpting to make sure it all looked fine. Some of the gaps were quite extensive, so I took quite a long time making sure that...

    My Attempt at Painting a GW Balrog

    Well, I purchased a Games Workshop balrog for my D&D game. It's a great figure and scales nicely as huge sized for D&D and I'm planning on dropping it into my game as the finale to my present campaign, which has been running for about three years now and will take around another 18 months or...

    Question About 3rd Era Freeport

    Hmm, the 3.0 Freeport setting book was called Freeport: The City of Adventure. They later released a system free guide called The Pirate's Guide to Freeport, which updated much of what was in the first book and takes place further along the timeline (after the events that occur during the...

    Which Necromancer Games Adventures Worth Getting/Avoiding?

    Many thanks to everyone for sharing their experiences :) I've now put together a first wave list of wants: Vault of Larin Karr Lost City of Barakus Doom of Listenshire The Grey Citadel Trouble at Durbenford Siege of Durgam's Folly The Bonegarden These all sound pretty interesting, so look...

    Which Necromancer Games Adventures Worth Getting/Avoiding?

    Great stuff! Thanks for the repsonses, and keep it coming :) The main reasons I am asking are twofold. Firstly, I have a raft of adventures, which include all of those released by Wizards, Paizo and the DCCs (these are mostly pdf, however), as well a bunch by Malhavoc and, of course...

    Which Necromancer Games Adventures Worth Getting/Avoiding?

    I'm looking to pick up some of Necromancer Games' adventures and was wondering what experience folks here had of them and which they'd recommend? I play 3.5, but 3.0 is fine as well. What ones did you enjoy playing or running and why? A brief synopsis of the adventure would be nice, plus what...

    WotC puts a stop to online sales of PDFs

    Paizo still seem to be selling wotc pdfs here, though only the old TSR ones, and until someone actually confirms a purchase over at paizo, we don't know if you can complete checkout. It's a shame to have lost those from 3ed and 4ed, though WotC had (shamefully IMO) already removed the 3ed core...

    Pray for Dave Arneson!

    It must be a very difficult time for everyone concerned. Dave and his family are in my thoughts.

    Worst Dice Luck Ever

    We got that beat in our group (for a session, not consecutive), when one of our players rolled a 1 sixteen (16!) times in a single 4 hour session. Never seen anything like it before. Or since!
