Something similar happened to me. The DM switched his great, at-the-climax campaign for another one where the PCs were going to be monsters. So I decided to create a half-water elemental, shocker lizard, 6th-level Rogue named "The Unpredictable Random Al' Azar" (al azar is the Spanish word...

Nice stuff at the Forge. :) By the way, anybody remember the Encounter Scenarios Contest that was held somewhere (I think it was here on ENWorld) about three years ago. I was looking at my old RPG files and found the winning entries of "Put to the Sword" and 'Hunt of the Black Hound' too...

Well, I did myself a favor and grabbed it, but that CR/EL System seems like a lot of hassle for just guessing better a creature's CR. However, thanks for the Waking Lands link. I've been trying for months and months to find the guy (SoaPman) who did the Ranger variant years ago on the WoTC...

Update: I've downloaded some cool tiles from SkeletonKeyGames, and I may buy some of their products. Also browsed ENworld's download page and found the 100 Fantasy Locations to be useful. Thanks EN community.

To the Enworlders: I'm planning to start a new campaign on January. The thing is I haven't DMed since two whole years, and when I did, I used to keep track of free material on the 'net: maps, tiles, adventures, etc. But two years have passed, and though I've been lurking here and...

Starting next semester, I'll be a fourth-year student (General Humanities) after being two years away from college (advice: don't dropout no matter what crazy idea or delussions of grandeur come to your mind). I also earn a few bucks as a freelancer doing graphic design, web design, and other...

My friend has an ATI Radeon of 64 MB, and it works well for Everquest II (besides this comment, I don't have much advice to offer). Check out this Dell laptop 'designed for games': (http://www1.us.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/inspn_xps?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs)

I don't need to worry for the graphic card. She won't be playing games or anything like that, and the IBM Extreme Graphics 2 will be enough. So, I'll go for the R51 with a RAM upgrade to 512. Thank you all.

Thank you all for the support. I've narrowed my options to these two: IBM ThinkPad R51 (http://www-132.ibm.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=-840&productId=8730790&storeId=1&langId=-1&dualCurrId=73&categoryId=2302836) or IBM ThinkPad T42...

One last word of advice: don't think that your new wizard PC is anything like your Cleric/Fighter was. I often find players (who used to play fighter-type PCs) that get their new wizards killed because they thought of going face-to-face with the naughty bad-guys. Don't do that until you get...

Frankly, I'm not fond of specialized wizards. Later in the campaign you find some cool spells that you'd like to learn, but cannot do so because of your restricted schools. So, if you have never played a wizard, don't go for school specialization. Wizards, IMO, are better than sorcerers...

Yes. I've been in such a good mood too, because I'll finally kick away my business-start-up plans to make more time for reading, writing, GMing, hanging out with friends, graduating... all the things I've been neglecting for this whole year. So, Phoenix, what's the cause of your joy?

I like GMing mostly for world-building and story telling, and that's probably why I dont' leave much space for jokes and real-life conversations during the game. As a player, I also like story telling but from the character-creation perspective. That's why I leave a gaming groups as soon as I...

Hey Ari: You say on the preface: "I look forward to seeing you in S&S's next world" (p. 4) So, are there real plans to develop another world, or that was just saying? Because it would be ironic to cancel Scarred Lands to make another world (considering that the reasons were due to the d20...

[original comment deleted] The boneweed and the storm harvester are in (I'll use the latter for my upcoming campaign, as well as the cactus imp, dragon lice, kelklic sand bettle, and others). By the way, I like the ashwyrm, but cannot find what type of breath weapon it uses (fire...

In a short Ravenloft campaign I once played, my PC had an animated voodoo (sp?) doll as her familiar. It offered damage reduction of 2 / --, and it was so cool that I liked him more than the actual PC. Anyways, get to do your own familiar with the DM's approval in case you dont like nothing else.

The one thing that saddens me is that, apparently, there would be less (or none at all) open calls in the future. I really enjoyed working with Sword & Sorcery (they were wayyyy more professional than another company I contributed to), and I was hoping to get more chances for writing a thing or...

Thanks Tanager, for the link. I'll check there. The laptop wouldn't need super-hardware, though. It'll be mostly for writing and college studies, and word processors doesnt need much resources. Light weight, that would be convenient. I'm thinking of Dell for now, but I will check other...

Me too. And I recieved more copies than what was stated in the Agreement. One for me, and the other two for my GM friends. BTW, I contributed the 'valuga'. Had another monster that was nice and original, but I guess it didn't fit with the setting.

My first Hivemind post. Not that great. How good it's to get off the clouds.
