    Dungeon #112 has arrived

    Must Run This! Even though I don't usually convert modules to run at a higher level, I'm going to have to make an exception for this one --- I hope it won't be too much work. Or maybe it'll be very little work (convert the BBEG to CR 22, and the rest of the dungeon can stay the same...)?

    An Open Letter to Dragon and Dungeon Readers

    Awesome! This means I'll definitely be renewing my Dungeon subscription. It's still the best resource for the money, especially now that polyhedron is taken out.

    Sharing the love for Epic play

    Pre-made adventures for Epic play? My problem is that I can't seem to find high level, let alone epic level pre-made adventures. For instance, right now I've got the PCs on an adventure that'll take them to about 15th-16th level, but I'm going to be stuck there --- I need a bridge adventure to...

    Why do you choose to play d20 games?

    Other I like d20, and I enjoy D&D. It's not my favorite, but it's pretty far up there, and it's much better supported than anything else. A subscription to Dungeon will let me run a campaign for a good long time. I also like DC Heroes, but it wasn't until recently that I found a cache of 3rd...

    [Poll] As A *Player*, Do You Enjoy Low-Magic/Grim&Gritty Campaigns?

    I'm sick of low magic campaigns One of our group's DMs went low-magic (without telling us), and soon after we hit 10th level and didn't even have enough money to cast Stoneskin, the group stopped playing D&D, so now I don't get a chance to play any more.

    Are DMs better players?

    It depends on what you mean by "good" As a player, I'm a good roleplayer. But the thing that really baked my noodle was when we were playing a game one night and I pulled what I thought was a relatively mundane trick out of my hat, and the other players said to each other, "Isn't it nice to...

    Paladin Mounts

    The Paladin is the Mount's Human Companion We use the average stats but the player gets to roll the hit points. At about 14th level, the Paladin (my brother) said, "My horse has more hit points, better attributes, more special abilitities like SR and evasion, and does more damage and almost has...

    DMs: What books make your life easier?

    Dungeon Magazine! Ok, so it's not a book, but it's saved me countless hours of prep time, and is the best value of money I've spent on D&D yet.

    Level Differentials for PCs

    I've got a 3 level gap (12th level cleric, 14th level wizard, about to go up to 15th). Most of it is my "no-show" rule. If you don't show up, the rest of the group plays your character as an NPC, and you get half xp. So far, it's not been a problem, despite the combat-heavy campaign, because the...

    [Serious] Help, I'm addicted to buying RPG books!

    Always buy your books from Amazon.com. That way, it costs 30% off, and every time you click "Add-to-Cart" you'll get buyer's remorse and hold off on clicking "checkout". That's how I put off buying stuff for a year at a time...

    That old WotC survey of gaming habits...

    That's a misquote. What it said was the the average player count was 4. Actually it was slightly more than 4, but they figured it's easier for a DM to throw in more creatures if he had more players than it is to scale down threats, so they went with the smaller number.

    Complete Warrior and Draconomicon @ 60% off on Amazon.com

    I just picked up Complete Warrior and Draconomicon @ 60% off from Amazon.com for about $26 (for both of them!). It qualifies for free shipping too. I'm fairly sure this is a freak discount, so if you're interested, now's the time to pick them up.

    [Dungeon] Dungeon/Polyhedron Goes Monthly

    Brown Jenkin hit it in the head for me. I don't use the Poly part of Dungeon for pretty much the same reason. If I was playing a long term D&D campaign, anything modern is pretty much useless for me. The mini-games are especially useless. They'll get no support from anyone, and most of all, the...

    Free Stuff

    Re: Re: Did I miss it? I read that series about 10 years ago. At that time, it didn't make much sense to me, but that's mostly because I don't particularly like the unreliable narrator as a story gimmick. (The only one that I liked was "Remains of the day", which I read after seeing that...

    Did I miss it? Did I miss the d20 conversion of "Fear the Worst"? I can't find it in the links you posted.

    (Mongoose) Ultimate Feats

    You mean I'll be having a field day banning over-powered feats. :) Fortunately, at this point my players know that anything coming out of a Mongoose book is likely to get banned.
