    D20 Apocalypse: Other Ways to End the World?

    Hmmm, I'm suprised no one has mentioned it but what about apocalypse through invading ecosystem. Those who have read The War Against the Chtorr novels will know about this. Basically rather than invade with spaceships and rayguns the aliens bombard the world with ecobombs hidden in meteors...

    Building a better BEM

    I wasn't planning on getting that deeply into metaphysics. I had thought of using some psychic abilities but mostly in the low level telepathy, precog and psychometry stuff. My idea with the "Snakes" (which is the Human's slang for them) was that they communicate through pheromones. It makes...

    Who pays for your group's "Party Leader" t-shirt?

    You know, No matter how bored, lonely and depressed I feel, I know I can come here and read threads like this. And when I do I realize that no matter how bad I think my life is at the moment I can say with some pride that I DON'T own a t-shirt that says "Pary Leader". Even if my thong says...

    Building a better BEM

    Hi, I'm tinkering with making a "Starship Troopers"-esque home brew and I'm curious whether people would find the alien opponent better if it were truelly alien or if it vaguelly resembles a more terrestrial creature? My current idea is for a Naga/Snakeman idea essentially resembling a...

    Villains & Vigilantes is BACK!

    Hey, Just an FYI. From what I read Living Legends is being released in a "as is" state. From what I've read Dee is still working on the game so consider this a beta edition for lack of a better term. Jack

    Does WotC have a new printer?

    Well, I didn't notice a change in the paper quality but I just picked up the DMG II and there was a definate difference in the binding. It was the first time I've cracked open a new D&D book and the binding has ACTUALLY "cracked". It makes it feel like the book is really solid but it'll be a...

    What would you like to see dropped from Dungeon?

    Personally, I don't care for Downer and if it were to leave the magazine I certainly wouldn't miss it. However, I like everything Erik Mona has done with Dungeon and his work is the primary reason I have a subscription for the first time. If flipping past Downer is the price I have to pay to...

    Are there any D&D modules created soley for the sake of comedy?

    Well, If you can find it there was a third-party adventure for 1st Ed. called "Clockwork Mage". Can't remember the name of the company but they did a bunch of stuff back in the day. In anycase Clockwork is a riot. In particular I can remember a statue which bore a plaque reading "Krushan...

    Great Premise for D20 Modern Zombies

    Hi Folks, My wife sent me the following link: http://65.127.124.62/south_asia/4483241.stm.htm Now the more web savy will notice that it is an IP address and not an actual link to the BBC website. Still it would make for a great prop in a D20 Modern game. Jack

    Is the d20 market completely saturated?

    Just to add my two cents, I have to add to agree with the view that D20 Fantasy has been done to death. But D20 Modern and D20 Future are such unsupported areas is boggles my mind why more product isn't being created for them. IMHO, the best tird-party book I ever picked up (Darwin's World 2)...

    Good mini for a Shifter?

    Well, Find a model that has the characteristics you like (armor, weapons, etc...) and then do a head swap from the Longtooth Barbarian. My wife did something similiar for her warforged paladin of Dol Arrah. Used the body from a Rackam Priestess of Steel and the head from a WotC Man-at-Arms. A...

    Should the Paladin pay for Evil Magic Items he wants / has destroyed?

    Hmmm.... There have been some excellent replies already so I'll just add this: Was the item part of the monsters treasure? If it was then it should be part of the reward for defeating the monster. If it wasn't, and frankly something totally anathema to the party shouldn't be, then the Paladin...
