    (Any Edition) Overland wilderness adventures?

    well. i just rob old editions adventures for ideas and what not. stare at the map and make stuff up sometimes. seems to work out pretty well.

    Is Dark Sun an alternate future Forgotten Realms?

    i prefer the official 3.x version of darksun.

    The Power of Prayer

    Well. opening a bit of a can here, but i've witnessed prayer actually working in real life. i've been on both the receiving end and the offering end when a series of severely unlikely events - unlikely enough independently, but taken all together simply break the bounds of probability; occurred...

    The purple worm, how have you dealt with / used it?

    the sting makes a lot more sense if it can also spray poison all around. as it burrows away, it releases a cloud of poison mist with flung droplets of touch poison interspersed. anything near right next to the opening would likely get slammed/stung by the tail/sting as it gyrates around.

    Immortal

    As far as DivR 0 goes, not to mention higher, there is always the tried and true method used by Zagyg... Elan transformation depends on setting. For example in FR, they are the living prisons for punished outsiders, while in other settings it is a ritual that transforms a human into one. and...

    Modules and the right amount of setting detail

    Perhaps not directed at me, but I'll respond anyway... plots are the most important element, as they determine everything else. what is a dungeon? a location designed by someone for a specific purpose, which may, or may not have been taken over and repurposed by someone else. If you know the...

    Modules and the right amount of setting detail

    stripping stuff out is almost zero work. the only time taken is the time to read it (or part of it) and go, "nope". besides, even if i strip it out for this particular situation, that material might be just the thing for some other situation, so i collect it and reread stuff on occasion just...

    Is there a spell that can be used to take photographs?

    thanks for the reply. your group won't be the first or last. ^^ these days, i only play psionics.

    Modules and the right amount of setting detail

    I think we are getting bogged down in semantics and terminology. For example: we could define a campaign as a series or group of adventure paths, an adventure path as a series or group of modules, a module as a series or group of adventures, an adventure as a series or group of encounters, and...

    Can a good creature be fiendish and can an evil creature be celestial?

    that would explain it, i have limited play exposure to planescape (despite making frequent use of the official 3.5 planescape material), and I tend to skip evil-outsider articles in dragon or evil-outsider themed source books, not having much use for them, due to the quirks of my campaign...

    Is there a spell that can be used to take photographs?

    you ask, i (eventually) answer: mnemonic crystal (official dark sun 3.5): and now that i reread it, it is only effective with pages of material - basically a spy cam for text and/or spells. i now recall that the one in question i was thinking of was a homebrew variant that recorded minutes of...

    Can a good creature be fiendish and can an evil creature be celestial?

    not say they can't exist by rules, just that in the story setting material, they don't seem to have one. (that i can recall).

    Is there a spell that can be used to take photographs?

    does my suggestion not suit?

    Can a good creature be fiendish and can an evil creature be celestial?

    if one is playing d&d, the fallen celestial is a core concept. seems they skipped out on the redeemed fiend, however.

    Immortal

    there is an immortality thread on minmaxboards which covers pretty much every legit 3.x method of gaining unaging up through actual immortality.

    Is there a spell that can be used to take photographs?

    There is a psionic power and a psionic item which both do exactly this. Should be fairly easy to convert to a spell. Iirc... the item is from the 3.x Dark Sun material, while the power is from either core or comp-psi.

    "Monstrous bite": feat, spell, magic ability or what else?

    well, in my opinion, the "social cost" cannot be made to balance the "combat advantages" in an equivalent fashion. in a game where overall balance is an a primary concern, this would be an absolute no-way item. (having said that, please note that such an "overall balance" style of game play is...

    "Monstrous bite": feat, spell, magic ability or what else?

    that would be considerably more "expensive". does it provoke an aoo, do they get a reflex save?
