    Scribe Scroll Press. Or perhaps: Arcane Marks.

    Smallest rule, biggest change: Magic Edition

    Saves are now a static 10 + Save bonus. In order to cast a spell, roll 1d20 + Spell Level + Key Stat with the target's save as the DC.

    High Level Casters Keeping Track of Spells

    Try http://www.emass-web.com/. I find it terribly useful.

    [Long] Ending Eberron Campaign - Konrad, Stay out!

    Well, here's one possible idea: The coming of the 13th Moon and the reappearance of the Mark of Death actually prophesy the end of Eberron itself. Expect the dragons to be very concerned with this. The docents perform something similar to the great monoliths in Sarlona, except on a smaller...

    Meta-Mechanics Worth Stealing

    In Nobilis, the player characters are in charge of a Chancel, which is essentially like their own little demesne. They can spend Chancel Points to give their area associated benefits, such as borderguards, as well as taking away points with disadvantages like being actively hated by the...

    [Book of Nine Swords] Maneuver Prerequisites and Swapping

    Forgive me if the book actually covers this somewhere and I've missed it, but. Basically, I have been trying to understand the Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords, and I figured the best way to do this was to make a character from Levels 1 through 20. So apparently some maneuvers have a...

    Complete Mage - Is it out yet?

    Well, that's what I'd originally thought until I realized that it stated that the second casting is "as if it had come from your daily allotment of spells." I was pretty sure what the intent was, though.

    Complete Mage - Is it out yet?

    So here's a question. The Enduring Potency portion of the Residual Metamagic feat allows you to cast a spell from your "daily allotment of spells" and then treat a scroll- or wand-casting in the next round "as if it had come from your daily allotment of spells," with respect to caster level and...

    Players refusing to play within GM's ruling/narrative?

    D20 Modern. Just thought I should point out.

    Players refusing to play within GM's ruling/narrative?

    This is what really seemed to me like the central point of the matter. Reading all the diverging perspectives is fascinating, though. By the way, the implication was that if the book did terribly she'd lose her job as a result, which was definitely a very big issue. So the situation is...

    *Archtypical Paladin Quandry* The 'Are you a Paladin?' Question.

    I chose a warning, mostly because... well, let me try to explain. Paladins stand for honor and justice and whatnot. They stand in the light. Working in the shadows is somewhat counter to what paladins usually stand for. Now, it makes sense to claim to not be a paladin in this case. You get...

    Players refusing to play within GM's ruling/narrative?

    I almost feel obligated to mention that my character's plan involved getting Ghostwriter (yes, that one) to ghostwrite the book.

    Players refusing to play within GM's ruling/narrative?

    interestingly, this game is a bit of an improvisational and episodic seat-of-the-pants game, so plot elements end up being very much determined by our characters' choices. As it is, the ultimate decision not to focus on this ended up potentially derailing a main plot (i.e., stopped us from...

    Players refusing to play within GM's ruling/narrative?

    Well, fair enough. But practically speaking she's had somewhat similar behavior in games that I run -- I think it's more a matter of the whole GM-as-boyfriend thing meaning that she feels more free to disagree openly, if that makes sense.

    A cleric is essential for Age of Worms yes?

    This might be off the topic a little, but is Shackled City this hard? I only mention because my players found the Eberron module Whispers of the Vampire's Blade way too easy, and I'm hoping I can give them something more challenging and, well, iconically 3E, if that makes sense. So I'm...

    Players refusing to play within GM's ruling/narrative?

    The tricky part here is that the player and GM are dating, as noted above, so practically speaking "ask her to leave the game" is out as an option.

    Players refusing to play within GM's ruling/narrative?

    This one is a player behavior question from perhaps a unique perspective -- one of the other players. So last session of my D20 Modern game we'd just come out of negotiating a settlement with a pimply necromancer and his undead mother to write a tell-all book about how Disney ripped off the...

    Need help with terminology for food/chemicals/poisons, for a magic system.

    Organic? Intrinsic? I'm tempted to suggest "Anbaric" for electric/computing, but that's just shades of His Dark Materials. Makes me wonder if "information" is considered an object, though.

    What have you stolen lately for your game?

    This is perhaps more overt than you're going for, but we're currently playing in a D20 Modern campaign in which the party consists of tabloid reporters, and, as you might imagine, we have quite a few pop culture influences. Our past few adventures have involved: A smoking-based cult from the...

    Friend of mine in Seattle, seeks gaming group

    We might have a spot or two, though I'd have to talk it over with the regulars. What sort of game is he looking for?
