Warforged are typically pictured having two toes; what we're looking at here is probably a weird top-down angle, which is why it looks like a hoof.

Expedition to the Duchy of Geoff -AKA- Against the Giants 3.5. It'd have to be based on the 2nd edition module, as opposed to the G series of modules. I want a campaign-length adventure path pitting my PCs against the giants, taking back Geoff one slice of territory at a time!

That's how I run it, too. I prefer to only have it work on undead, extraplanar beings such as demons, particularly ancient dragons, and highly devout worshippers of evil gods. These are the enemies the paladin needs to fight. Leave the pickpockets and wife-beaters to the town guard. This is...

The cause of death is universally multiple hits from a Magic Missile wand, fired by a pissed-off wizard.

For the Monsters section: "Holy s**t! The Attack of Eddy Munster!" In terms of quotability, Lost Boys is right up there with Army of Darkness and Big Trouble in Little China.

I may do different voices for characters, but I usually shy away from accents. As a DM, at least. The one exception to this was in a game where the elves ran an aggressive, expansionistic empire. When speaking Common, the elves had a British accent. When speaking Elvish, they had an American...

When we played RttToEE a few years ago, we had a motto: "We do more before 10am than most adventurers do all day...and then we go back to bed." There were 6-7 people in that group and we still managed to blow all of our spells and daily abilities by the end of the second or third encounter...

Does social standing have a place in your game? Absolutely. If the PCs are a bunch of ragged adventurers come to see the prince, chances are they won't be let through the door unless there are some special circumstances (and a bath and some clean clothes wouldn't hurt, either!). When you make...

As far as I've ever been able to tell, the demons of Eberron are the various fiends from the MMs and other books - demons, devils, yugloloths, etc. I haven't heard of a list of which critters are around, but considering that one of the mottos of Eberron is "if it's in D&D, it has a place in...

Usually a simple "I'm not enjoying the game" will do. I may go into more detail if there are specific points of contention or personality conflicts, in case the DM/group wants me more than they want the rule/play style/obnoxious player that caused me to quit in the first place, but usually I...

I'm just amused that they're still citing Deities and Demigods. I wonder if that article was simply cut and pasted from a much older source.

For a while there, it seemed like orcs and halflings were the first races to go when it came time to design a "unique" fantasy world. Why dwarves and elves got to stay when their interpretation was as Tolkienesque as orcs and halflings is beyond me. I'm glad to see the industry got over that...

It happens to the best of us. Just find a good stopping point, hopefully something that is climactic and exciting, and then let someone else run for a while. You'll get your groove back eventually.

Giants, eh? Are these the unique giants mentioned in IKCG, or just giant-type creatures like the Skorne cyclops?

Why not "sun chariot?"

An eternal wand only fires twice per day. In order to be effective, a magewright would need several such wands, which would get prohibitively expensive. True wizards might be rare, but what about adepts? It'd be far cheaper to field an adept with one normal (50-charge) wand than a magewright...

Plus you can only fire an eternal wand twice a day, which is something that everyone seems to overlook. It might be useful for fireballs, which you don't necessarily need as many of in a battle, or something like phantom steed or mage armor, which last for hours, but as a man-to-man combat...

Thanks for your lengthy replies, Keith. I'll let you get back to work now. :)

I didn't have guns in my last campaign, and nobody (myself included) missed them. If I include them in my next campaign, it will only be because I wasn't able to come up with anything better. It's easy to look at an advanced world like Eberron and throw in guns simply because we had guns at a...

I do remember reading about those elemental weapons. That's pretty much how I imagined them, too. I had something similar to the siege staff in my last campaign. It was essentially a cannon which used wands for ammunition. You loaded the wand in a wand sheath similar to those available to...
