I'm DMing a 3.5 game that uses Pathfinder core classes that I converted to the 3.5 system (along with a few other PF rules that I liked). The group is 4-5th level and the conversion seems to be work just fine. I will probably only play 3.5 or Pathfinder until I'm an elderly man. Even if it...

Hmm, none of those locations sound any more interesting than where the PCs go in the Infinite Staircase. Although every review I've read about Ro7P mentions nothing about any of those scenarios except for the giant wedding chapter. So maybe I'll look at that to see if it is worth switching out...

Thanks for the feedback so far. I feel better about this idea now and there is some good advice to consider. Now I just gotta figure out how much I should provide in this treasure "vault".

Funny you mention that because the reason I'm asking is because I have finished preparing Tales of the Infinite Staircase. At the last minute, I've decided that I really don't care for the "Iron Shadow" plotline in the staircase adventure and I'm worried that it has too many problems. Half of...

I'm thinking of running the old adventure Rod of Seven Parts. I can't seem to find a good summary of this adventure though. I would like to know the locations of each part of the rod (where the PCs go to recover the piece). Can anyone give a brief summary of these scenarios so I can determine...

I'm thinking of doing something I have never done before; provide the PCs with a treasure hoard much larger than what is expected at their level (4-5). I'm running the Forge of Fury adventure and thinking of enticing the PCs to start a new community in the complex after it is cleared out. I'm...

Here is a scenario I once used consisting of "dumb orc" jokes... *A Bard named Lucious who specializes in ventriloquism is performing with his puppet named Luvets. Puppet: I've got a few good jokes for ya ……..! Let me know if you've ever heard any of these. So what's the fastest way to get a...

I have never been able to find a complete WotC 3rd edition magic item index that can be used in an Excel spreadsheet format so that we have easy control over sorting. The few indexes that do exist are also incomplete and reference very few books. I came here asking for help creating one, but I...

It actually is: Entangled

I like the fire elemental cohort as a smithy side-kick. I also like the smith hammer that grants XP to be used for crafting. The forge-in-a-box is also a good idea. All of these things would be something that I know the player would appreciate and find interesting. I'm thinking of combining it...

With all the advice being given here, and all of the same kind of advice I've seen given in past threads like this, has anyone ever had a positive outcome after using advice like this when it came to dealing with a problem player? I have tried everything in the book and not a single one of...

I've been trying to come up with some kind of shtick to do to reward a 5th level Dwarven Fighter. Usually I'll throw in some kind of cool magic weapon or armor, maybe even an intelligent weapon to give a player an NPC sidekick that doesn't have any major effect on the game (more for...

I once had a player that I was having problems with (very argumentative even when he had no clue if he was actually right or not). The sort of crap that came out of this guys mouth was incredible. For example, when my wife once asked him to stop arguing with me during the game, he responded with...

I agree with most of the comments here in regards to their quality. Skull & Shackles was the worst for "breakage" mainly due to all of the minis they made that sat on clear pegs. Most people think the pegs are breaking off the bases, but they aren't. The glue is just weak and they "pop" off the...

At first I took you seriously, and about 30 seconds later it dawned on me what you were referring to. Good one! :p The funny thing is, we really could do snakes on a plane encounter in D&D with the amount of different snakes there are as monsters. I wonder if my players would even get it.

I am perfectly fine with my 3.5 stuff and the conversions I've done for it. For me, once I have found a system that allows me to do whatever I want in my fantasy game, I'm no longer excited about new mechanics. I'm not really the type to jump ship just because it's new. The adventuring is what...

I've checked out everything that has been mentioned so far and I think the Dungeon Issue 41 adventure (Mammoth Problems) has the sort of ship I was looking for, thanks. It even gave me the idea to make my pirates be undead pirates. I can't think of a reason why undead can't be hanging out in the...

I've been itching to run a sailing adventure ever since the Pathfinder Skull & Shackles minis came out. Then a thought occurred to me, I've ran a sea adventure before years ago, but I've never run a sky adventure before. My group will eventually be going to the Elemental Plane of Air, and how...

Let me guess, this characters name will be either Logan, or just flat out Wolverine? It's so refreshing to know that I'm not the only DM that gets a headache during character creation. By the sounds of it, the things I've had to deal with pale in comparison to a lot of you guys. :)

We're looking for a couple of players to join an existing Planescape 3.5 game (we're only level 3-4). We're using core classes from Pathfinder that I converted to 3.5 rules. But you are free to stick with 3.5 core classes or any non-core 3.5 classes. We try to play every other week on a Friday...
