    Locating a Druid using Natural Spell

    I think we're just to the point where we need to agree to disagree, but I'll just say that in Kalendraf's game, my druid in wildshape is NOT undetectable. He's just a bit more difficult to detect. I would agree that a knowledge nature or something similar could very well detect my casting...

    Don't worry Razuur, we aren't going anywhere :D

    Augment Summoning ... how worthwhile ?

    Well Rashak, I'm in a little bit of a special case I guess. In the Tainted World (Kal's homebrew) arcane magic is....wait for it.....tainted. As such, our group doesn't have any mages or sorcerers, because those folks tend to go stark raving mad. An offensive druid made sense to me. So far...

    Augment Summoning ... how worthwhile ?

    I'm the aforementioned druid in Kal's campaign. It sounds like you are debating between a blaster druid (like me) or a summoning druid. I'd say pick one of those and choose your feats after the fact. If you want to be a summoner, than absolutely take Augment Summoning. It works on all your...

    Banshee: If you want a primer on the Oathbound campaign setting, why not check out Oathbound.net ?

    Sales, sales, sales! It's good to be a gamer this Christmas!

    Per Jim Butler in a similar thread in the Publishers forum: "For those of you that have inadvertently made multiple orders, I'll be deleting those extra orders so you'll only get charged for one. I'm not entirely certain why some of you are having problems with the ordering, and others are...

    What are the best "fluff" PDFs or books?

    The recent PDF Legacies of Oathbound Volume 1 by Bastion Press has a very in-depth look at the bloodhold of Utopia. There's so much great info in there, my next OB campaign will definitely feature Utopia heavily. Manual of Planes is very good, evoking mood and ambience in spades. Somewhat...

    What do you think is the best campaign setting?

    Another vote for Oathbound by Bastion Press. This is a setting ruled over by 7 demigods (more or less) who each rule their own domain. They pull creatures, buildings, anything they want, into the world to populate it. The people don't really know why they do this, but theories abound. Some...

    No love for Oathbound?

    Personally, I always thought the "characters start at 7th level" thing was bunk. I've never used it. My campaigns have always started, at most, at 5th level. Oathbound Players Handbook.....hmmmm.....good idea :uhoh: Minions was updated to 3.5 and is available as a PDF on RPGNow and...

    The official Bastion Press Q&A thread

    Ya know, there are too darn many people with names that start with "T" in this group. Sorry! My bad. *Sigh* Todd, Todd the former, Tom, Teneb, Tim, Jim (doesn't start with T, but it rhymes which is nearly as bad), Steve (has a T in it) and Kevin. Kevin I can remember. Just don't change...

    The official Bastion Press Q&A thread

    I'm sure Steve will correct me if I mis-speak, but I'm pretty sure I can handle your questions DMH. First of all, Kiln will be last. I can't say why, but it just will. So there. Wildwood was written to be a stand-alone: all you need is in the one hardbound book. However, those familiar with...

    The official Bastion Press Q&A thread

    Unfortunately, I don't think Bastion will go back to color products. Obviously, they cost more to print, and sales did not increase to make up for the increased cost. At least, this is what Jim has indicated in the past. I agree its unfortunate, I loved the color products as well. However...

    No love for Oathbound?

    I think the entire Bastion team is very open to catering to the fans of their products. Perhaps not in print, but Bastion has a robust PDF stable. If there are things in Oathbound or the Forge that you think are missing, speak up! One of us would very likely be more than happy to write...

    No love for Oathbound?

    Isn't Oathbound High Adventure? I guess I always consider "high fantasy" to have a lot of action, a lot of magic, and a lot of possible plots. Oathbound fulfils all of these. Is your definition of high adventure quite different?

    No love for Oathbound?

    Frankly, I think the all-inclusive nature of Oathbound is one of its greatest strengths. As a DM, I don't have to worry if another company's ideas will "fit" in my Oathbound game. Find a new PrC in a WotC book? Easily inserted. Cool new landmass? With very minor tweaks, it can fit in. I'm...

    Future of Scarred Lands and other 3rd party settings

    I think the Oathbound campaign setting by Bastion Press (which was mentioned above) definitely has staying power. The setting is one of the main focuses of the publisher, receiving regular support. I think the biggest thing going for Oathbound is the commitment by the publisher to support the...

    For Oathbound fans

    I imagine it'd be OK if I spilled the beans a little on Legacies 1. There is an in-depth article detailing the bloodhold of Utopia (perhaps the most inappropriately named place ever), giving a metric ton of information on the government, religion (ie. also the government), the military, and a...

    What's the Status of MEG?

    I don't know anything about any new products, but I do know Hal has had a lot of distraction with all the weather they've been having in Florida. He's been mighty quiet of late, and I think that's why. Hopefully he'll pop over here and can answer your question.

    Rochester MN ?

    Hey Rolemancer, The group I play with is full, but we could probably get you in touch with some other folks who play. Everyone I play with works at IBM; I'm the lone Mayo holdout :D Fire me an email and I'll see what I can do: tenebnonahs at hotmail

    Anyone picked up Midnight Fury of Shadows

    I think Fury is the strongest Midnight product to date. As mac said, the production value is very very high. The main book is absolutely packed with ambience, plot ideas, background, and a full campaign arc pretty much ready to go. Also, its not linear in the least, allowing DMs to deviate at...
