I mostly DM and I enjoy it just as much or more as being a player. But I do love being a player. A question for people that play a lot as a player; do you find it difficult to play well or fit in with other players? This is probably mostly a question for people that play in a group full of...

I have been addicted to collecting battlemap images ever since I started using an LCD TV with Maptool. When it comes to images, I'm usually cheap and just grab any that people have provided for free online. Whenever I am in the mood to find more maps, I'm always reminded of the maps created by...

Whatever happened to the good ol' days when a person simply walked up to a potential mate, clubbed him/her over the head, and then dragged him/her off to a remote place? All of this romancing and gift giving is really hard work. It also takes away from the game. If you let the relationship...

I've been trying to get a spell index myself, but every one I have found only lists the most current sourcebook that the spell exists in. For example, if the spell was reprinted in the Spell Compendium, the index only shows that the spell comes from the Spell Compendium. It does not include the...

Just to add to this suggestion, connecting the computer to a TV will even allow the local players to easily view the map while the remote players view the same thing on their computer monitors. The biggest issue you will have will be audio. It will probably be hard for the remote players to hear...

So for whatever reason, they wrote Darkvision in the Monster Manual 1 entries for demons & devils, but did not write Darkvision in the Formian entries even though they are Outsiders? So Formians do have Darkvision?

I assume that if a monster stat block does not include the text "Darkvision 60-ft", then it does not have it. Some 3.5 Monster Manual 1 entries (like Formians) do not include Darkvision in the stat block, but they are Outsiders. The Outsider description says that they all have Darkvision 60-ft...

I'm converting a 2e module for my 3.5e game. I don't have a lot of experience with 2e monsters, but apparently there is a size difference between a 2e Very Young Bronze Dragon and a 3.5 Very Young Bronze Dragon. Normally, I wouldn't care and I would just use the 3.5 version. But in this...

Cool. So how did you end up doing it in the end and how exactly did your player react to it?

One of the things I always found funny on RPG forums is that gamers seem to have no clue if a writer is joking (no matter how obvious he is being) unless he uses a smiley face. I can say the most sarcastic and silly thing and a dozen gamers will reply as if I'm totally serious (and an idiot). I...

I figured the Stone Cube would be something like a Wall of Stone spell. These 2 objects are going to be used by an NPC and whatever he doesn't use will be available as loot. They are 2nd edition items from a module that I'm converting into 3.5. I'd like to convert them rather than just have him...

So, people find just about anything to get upset over in RPGs. I've seen RPG targeted politically correct rants about sexual orientation, gender roles, religious views, cultural taboos, and even down to the artwork. I've never cared to give much thought to this stuff because frankly, I find...

Thanks so much for doing these for me. I realize now that although it was clear to me, it was not so clear when I typed out these descriptions. Both of these items are meant to be 1-use items, like a tanglefoot bag or alchemist's fire. Can you price the cube & sphere out using all of your...

A lot of guys in prison play D&D. I played with a guy straight out of San Quentin once. He learned to play D&D there and wanted to join a group right when he got out. I guess criminals can be nerds too. But this guy looked like a biker and he was in for burglary. Maybe he was a nerd, but I'm...

Sorry, I see that I actually did forget to mention that each head only makes 1 attack. The fluff is up in the air. So feel free to come up with any sort of descriptions. We can say that after a head makes an attack (whether it hits or misses), it crumbles into a golden powder and disperses as if...

I got tired of dealing with that in my own PS game. So I made a "Planar PC Races" pdf consisting of the races & stats that I allow players to use in my campaign. It helped out a lot for the most part. But I still occasionally had annoying players still ask me to allow some other random race...

That was the entire point/style of the PS line. Like Piratecat, I found reading Planescape "rules" a hell of a lot more fun and entertaining than slogging through the mind-numbing dribble in all of my 2e & 3.5 rulebooks. I found it really cool when I'm reading a monster's ecology and I'm being...

Would anyone care to stat up these magic items for me please? I'm terrible at using the item creation rules to do this. Things like hardness, attack bonus, & other stats not mentioned in my descriptions are open-ended. Feel free to even change the stats that I did mention. Do whatever makes...

The D&D players in film are always the same "nerdy" types. I enjoyed seeing James Franco play D&D and act like he was having a blast. But then that was the whole point of that scene in Freaks & Geeks (a cool guy unexpectedly playing D&D). There are plenty of charismatic and good looking D&D...

That's what I believe is the true purpose for this thread being created. It's ok though. Planescape hate is never anything that a fan should get upset about. The reasons people give for hating it are always the same. Either the reasons are understandable: don't like the Blood War, don't like...
