    Mules! -- Huh! -- What are they good for?

    1) Mules are meat. Meat can be eaten. They are useful. You should name your mule ration N. 2) If you really want a pack animal summon one. 3) Or take leadership awaken it and take it as your follower. A coupla levels of Barbarian will do wonders.

    Ideas for better gameplay

    Study the rules. My house rule is that there are no house rules. Spells are literal. The rules of the game describes the physics of this magical world, so if irrational things happen... it's a magical universe. Play it street legal (no house rules) first, to see what needs change, and if it...

    30 Years of Weird - Strangest Campaigns Ever

    I'm impressed by the posts. Much to think about. Green Adam, can you post your notes (or summary) for the The Irregulars? Planning to run something like that. Sniffles, can you post your notes (or summary) for the 'Mystery Men.' Again, I'm planning to run something like that. Thanks in...

    That this is a min-min build, one of the more anti-optimized builds. Yes. Good call. I get to save another pound! Woo hoo!

    Plans: Evil high tech lab ideas? (Future)

    * broken thermostat, that constantly resets to near freezing temperatures or blazing hot desert heat. Two settings. * The Lab computer has a pseudo-AI that can program itself, as long as you tell it what to do very specifically... and it's telepathic, but very quirky since it is programmed to...

    And the 20th Wiz I posted is absolutely not optimized, and utterly useless. In fact Mu-Mu calls your barbarian an optimized, power gaming, munchkin.

    Lame Names

    Well I gamed with a dwarf fighter with a +1 longsword. The Fighter's name was Bilbo Baggins. His sword? Sting. Twitch, twitch.

    Plans: Evil high tech lab ideas? (Future)

    How much more advanced? Maybe they find the plans of a EMP bay weapon treat as a Particle Accelerator, but usable only in close range, but ignores half the armor and gets a +2 to hit, TL 16, but inefficient and find out it's still working. Badly cannibalized defense bots etc... collapsing...

    What are the 5 most powerful feats in the PHB?

    Really? How many optimised druids did you game with? And did you ever see a 10+ level wildshaping druid? Summoning druid? For me it's... 1) Leadership (Duh) 2) Natural Spell (Duh) 3) Augment Summoning (For druids, the summoner build) 4) Improved Trip (Spiked chain tripper) 5) Greater...

    Help me build a Vampiric City!

    The Vampires for some reason are Lawful Evil. And they quickly dispatch criminals and minions of the evil entity... an Atropol in "topor." They are ruled by "the seven" as a council and are pro-business, supports it's merchants, and ruthlessly hunts down bandits. The Vampires are also...

    DM Tricks to Challenge Tough PCs with Weaker Enemies

    Oh, yeah. Tucker's Kobolds. I remember them. They were tough and they were fun. We got them by ambushing their foraging parties, sabotaging their food supply, hit and run raids, and killing their oil supplier, (and going in invisible and poisoning their water supply, and losing a level...

    How powerful are my PCs?

    If you know what you are doing it becomes so much fun. Cool spells, cool items, cool monsters, it puts the awesome in the game. You get to fight real dragons, and not baby dragons. It never seemed to me that it was heroic to slay dragon infants and youngsters. After level 10 my games...
