    Owning multiple copies of RPG books

    Don't ask that question on the Acaeum boards. So let's see. I own 2 or 3 copies of the AD&D 2E DMG and PHB each. (one of each is very worn) Other duplicates of the older stuff have gone to ebay or will soon. I do own duplicates of a few choice items that I see as investments. (For example I...

    Products Based on Ancient Civilizations

    Gary Gygax' Necropolis (this is the d20 version, there's also an older one for Dangerous Journeys/Mythus ~= AD&D) There are lots of Indian and Oriental themed products in the d20 era. Not sure if any of them qualify for ancient-ness though. There probably are errata and web anhancement from...

    Osirion, Land of Pharaohs

    Do you have the Hamunaptra d20 boxed set by Green Ronin? It's only $5 at the paizo store and that's not for the pdf but for the actual boxed set! It's great to flesh out Osirion and the neighbours. In this vein check out this excellent paizo thread on Geb, Nex, and Ancient Osirion, and this one...

    D&D 3.x Level Adjustments and Balance in a Solo 3.5 Game

    This. Just disregard the LA and you should be fine. Adjusting CRs for solo play is hard enough anyways. This way he will also level faster. Also since he's a Rogue try more complex scenarios not just straight up fights. Take him prisoner, dish out subdual, pick some ambush scenarios...

    Goblin wedding! I need ideas.

    Eberron's goblinoids are the descendants of a highly civilized warrior culture, The Empire Of Dhakaan (Think Japanese/Roman/Goblinoid Shogunat, with the goblin clans providing the ninjas). The empire fell though and the goblinoid nation of Darguun has existed only since the end of the Last War...

    A Master Spy NPC

    If you're only starting with 3E why not make it a bit simpler and at least stay pre-epic. Lvl20 is hard enough to handle... If this is going to be a recurring NPC and a doppleganger, I highly recommend reading through the free Van Richten Society's Field Guide to Doppelgangers netbook, that i...

    Are "Pretty" Dungeons Better?

    This sounds a whole lot like Castle Greyhawk, the granddaddy of all megadungeons, which was made by a mad archmage who later ascended to demigod of humor, eccentricity, occult lore, and unpredictability.

    A Master Spy NPC

    Indeed, he has a 14. (Rolled 14, 13, 12, 11, 11, 10, worth 23 points in point buy) Alternatively as this is an NPC how about using the elite array: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. (25 points in point buy) Well you could have qualified for Spymaster here if you put put your skill ranks differently...

    A Master Spy NPC

    Being a doppelganger i believe you don't need 5 levels of Rogue to enter Chameleon, as you got 4 level of monstrous humanoid HD already and Bluff, Disguise and Sense Motive are doppelgang class skills. So all you need is one more class level (preferably with Spellcraft and the other three...
