Supposedly, when the city Sigil was created for Planescape, it was intended to be pronounced as Sijil. But for whatever reason, it began being called "sigil" and that is how it was intended to be called once the setting was published. I don't know how true that is, but that's what some people...

It sounds like he is putting the coup and the de together as a single word. Like, "cood" with some rolling of the tongue. Interesting. I've never heard it spoken by a french man. It sounds nothing like the way anyone is saying it in English. It sounds like he is saying "kood-krahs". I have to...

"We can excuse the fact that you slaughtered two Yugoloths before you realized where you were, Outsider. But you pronounced the name of our fair city 'Sijil,' not 'Sigil,' and there can be no excuse for that! - Her Honor Rastina Tollin of the Guvners (Sigil and Beyond page 4 of the Planescape...

I'm sure there are very few (if any) gamers that properly pronounce every D&D word correctly. There's the whole "drow" thing (is it like cow, or is it like bro). Some people insist on pronouncing the planar city of Sigil as "sijil", and I gave up trying to pronounce Ixitxachitl correctly a long...

I finally saw this on Saturday. I have to say the funniest moment was when Stark snitches on the guy for playing Galaga and then when everyone leaves the room, we see the guy look around and then load up Galaga. I was not expecting to actually see a guy playing Galaga. And of all the games...

Does a creature with the fire subtype produce a light source? I would think something made of flames would produce light, but I can't find any ruling on that. If it does, I'm wondering what the radius would be depending on the creature size.

This thread reminded me of my first day playing Ultima Online when it was first released in 1997. My 1st level warrior who was destined to become the greatest champion in the world stepped out into the woods as soon as he was created. His first prey was to be a rabbit he saw hopping around. So...

I compared the lists and used Echohawk's Monster Index Excel file to double check everything. This is the full Planescape (or planar) list of monsters that I could not find in any of the sources that you guys seem to reference. Several of these are listed in Echohawk's excel file as originating...

I forgot about Tome of Horrors. I removed those monsters from my list. Can you share your lists with me so I can compare my list? I'm putting together a pdf index for myself so that I can reference these monsters when I need them for my PS game. I'd like to make sure I'm as up to date as you...

Is there anyone out there like me that spends countless hours preparing content for their game? I spend my free time doing some sort of preparation work for my game. It is kind of embarrassing how much work I do (have done). Now that I use Maptool, my prep work has doubled. I'm also an...

I learned to not get the jitters by just not thinking about the fact I'm DMing. I'll think about the game and what I might do, but not about the fact that I'm DMing for people. That way I don't worry about what might go wrong. I learned long ago that no matter how prepared I am, I'm going to...

I'm posting this list for you guys in case it might be of some help. I'm collecting 3.5 conversions for all of the 2e Planescape monsters along with a few other 2e "planar" books. These are the monsters that I don't see converted to 3.5 edition over on the Creature Catalog. The ones marked (3.0...

Here are some that I made to use with Maptool. I eventually want to make spell specific versions. Maybe that will be my next project. Oh, BTW, these templates are sized for 100 pixel squares. I prefer using higher resolution maps. Most people seem to use 50 pixel grids. So you will want to...

My experience dealing with players has shown that some things just can't be changed. I think your example is one of them. If they are not taking the initiative to do things themselves after you have already tried nudging them to take control (by talking to them or doing it in game), they most...

I try not to be a killer DM but I'm not afraid to let a PC die when I feel it is a legit death. I've killed plenty of PCs in my time. But if it came to a point where PCs were dropping off left and right, or that my players even referred to me as a "killer DM", then that is a warning sign to me...

I am tied to 3.5e because I know the system, I like the system, I can do everything I want with the system, and I can't stand learning new rules. There really isn't any reason for me to change systems. When 3.5 first came out, I was blown away at how much easier it was to learn than 2e and it...

The thing is, I couldn't find the image in any gallery of "Ben Wooten". Also, I was finding results for a "Ben Wootten" (notice the spelling) when I searched the name online. And still couldn't find the image in any galleries. I'd say that is his picture, but I can't verify it since I can't find...

In Dragon Magazine issue #339, there is a picture of a bariaur on page 5 and again on page 37. Does anyone know the name of the artist that created that picture? I would like to see his/her other works.

If these animals were sold as pets, how much would you say their cost would be in the standard 3.5 edition rules? Badger Boar Cat Dire Rat Dog Eagle Hawk Owl Rat Snake, Viper, Medium Snake, Viper, Small Snake, Viper, Tiny Weasel Wolf
