    Multiclass characters: Class overload?

    I am curious about something. I have been reading these boards since the 3.0 days, and I have been fascinated by the different characters I see mentioned. Folks seem to do a huge amount of multi-class characters, some with four or more classes. So I am wondering, if a character is 10th level...

    The Infamous Spiked Chain Madness

    Considering my loathing of psionics in D&D I won't be using this option, but it is interesting none the less. Thanks to everyone who has given information so far. I see now why I never read the WotC message boards. They all assume that you own every book that is out there, and use them all...

    The Infamous Spiked Chain Madness

    I have read several threads which allude to a Human Fighter build that uses a series of feats for a spiked chain that borders on obscene. The thing is, nobody actually shows what this build is, they just talk about it. I understand it can be done with just the core books in both 3.0 and 3.5...

    D&D 3.x Area of Effect: Changes from 3.0 to 3.5?

    Actually, according to the errata for the 3.0 DMG, your diagonal cone example is not correct. The top row, the one in line with the caster, should have 3 blue squares, not 2. Just a minor quibble. But, after looking at both the 3.0 gridded stuff and the 3.5 gridded stuff, I think I will just...

    D&D 3.x Area of Effect: Changes from 3.0 to 3.5?

    Thanks for the info. I should have been more specific. I have the 3.0 books, I just didn’t have the 3.5 books, only the SRD, which is not illustrated. This makes it a tad hard to compare. Okay, not really that hard, I was being a bit lazy about dragging my books over to the computer to...

    D&D 3.x Area of Effect: Changes from 3.0 to 3.5?

    Here's something that has been bothering me of late. I have seen some great spell templates by Frank the DM and others, but they don't appear to follow the examples shown in the 3.0 DMG. Since I am playing 3.0, and only have access to the 3.5 SRD, I haven't seen official examples of the same...

    D&D 4E Rate your interest in 4e.

    I'll be perfectly honest and say that I voted a zero. I keep hoping that they will tell me something about this new game they are calling D&D that will interest me. What I have seen so far has not sparked my interest in the least. The more I see of this new game the less D&D I am seeing. To...

    Goodman Game Sale. What are you going to buy?

    I would love to buy some of the modules. Unfortunately, a recent lose of employment means I am only buying things like food and paying rent. Sadly, gaming purchases are a luxury I cannot afford right now.

    A player with a problem: Death and level loss

    Okay, so I have a player whose character, through a series of bad situations, ended up dying. The party used a charge on a Staff of Life to cast resurrection on him. That brings him back to life, but at one level lower. Well, that's all fine and dandy, but now he's a bit, whiny about losing...

    ENWorld Gameday Minneapolis/St. Paul - any interest?

    I am not exactly sure what it involves, but I live in the metro area and would be interested. Is it just D&D, or is it other things too?

    Your group's tributes to Gary

    Tuesday night, my roommates and I had gelatinous cubes for dessert, in honor of Gary. Sure, they were Jello cubes, but they were laced with alcohol, as it just seemed right. This Sunday, for our game, we are going to make the gelatinous cubes again. This time, however, we are going to...

    Looking for Clear Plastic Rods for Battlemap Use...

    Well, as one of the prototype testers for Doctor Wizard's Patented Elevation Indicators, I would first recommend them. I do not feel they are overpriced, and they will do what you want quite handily. Now, for just making pillars and the like, I would suggest wooden dowels, as they are much...

    Looking for Clear Plastic Rods for Battlemap Use...

    Might one ask what you need them for? I may have a source, but that bit of knowledge would be useful in determining if they are the right fit for you.

    Steampunk

    I helped work on GURPS Steampunk, so I am a bit biased when I say that I really enjoy that game. I found it quite easy to use it to run a Holmesian-Steampunk game that friends talked about for a long time. Forgotten Futures, by Marcus Rowland, is probably the source for Victorian era gaming...

    D&D 4E Is my friend's unwillingness to try 4e irrational?

    I know that for me, my reaction to each of these changes has been different. I never really played 2e AD&D. I played a little bit when it first came out, but stopped within about a year. When our group went back to playing D&D we played 1st Ed AD&D and then stopped again after a couple of...

    D&D 4E Is my friend's unwillingness to try 4e irrational?

    You know, I can really feel for Bob in this case. I am not a fan of 4e and do not plan on converting to it. Do I have logical reasons for this? Not really, at least not that I can really put into words. It's more of a gut feeling, just a personal feeling that what I have heard about 4e rubs...

    Wilderlands - box set and/or player's guide?

    While I really like the content of the Players Guide, I have to say that the quality of the PDF is not all that high. I have commented on this ever since I got it. The resolution on the file is very poor, meaning the maps and art in it don't print in a usable way. Some of the art even looks...

    Bob Bledsaw, man behind Judges Guild and the wilderlands

    Wow. Just ... wow. I have been a hug fan of Bob's work since the early 1980s. City State of the Invincible Overlord; Wilderlands of High Fantasy; some of the best DragonQuest material out there; support for Traveller; and some of the most entertaining modules of the early era of gaming. Bob...

    Where are World Works Games?

    I just went to their website and they have a new product announcement from yesterday. I even used the link you provided. Perhaps you are having browser issues?
