Good bit of fun. Thanks, Morrus and co. I agree that about the magic items - not sure what they do. Does it say anywhere what elements the various cards belong to? Can't see that anywhere either. Pinotage

Interesting article with which I mostly agree. However, while expressing that epic play requires a reason, I've yet to actually see any reasons. Maybe there aren't any for epic play that don't already get covered by higher level play. Any suggestions? Pinotage

I'm quite excited about this. A good beginner box is useful for both new players and children. I hope they're gearing it a little towards the latter. Pinotage

I believe it's because the sorcerer obtains new spells known through: Basically the sorcerer's spells known can be arcane spells from other sources as well, such as the bard spell list, at DMs discretion, of course. Pinotage

Anything from the Dungeon Crawl Classics line from Goodman Games is a good example of a straight 3.5e dungeon crawl. So take a look at those to give you some ideas. Remember to keep everything dynamic so that there's not hit and run tactics from players and lots of resting. Make players regret...

Personally, I'd just run straight core rules (PHB, DMG, MM) and keep the levels low, and there's nothing particular in there that's going to blow the game apart. Most of that stuff happens at higher levels. Low level play should keep everything fun and dandy. There are a few combinations that...

Thanks, Thanee. I'll take a look at the site. Pinotage

Seven out of Nine times I liked Voyager more than Deep Space Nine! :-) Pinotage

My mind is slipping. Complete Arcane introduced swift actions, but the Core books mentioned that 'Spell trigger items take a standard action to activate'. A wand being a 'spell trigger' item is activated by a standard action (with the caveat that it can take longer for spells with a longer...

Anybody know what this is like? I believe it's published by Fantasy Flight Games, but I was wondering if there were any play experiences out there? Thanks Pinotage

Complete Arcane always used to state that wands with swift spells still took a standard action to activate. Was this changed in Rules Compendium? Pinotage

First, welcome to the boards! Hope you enjoy it here. It'll help to know a little more about the character as the effectiveness will depend on the stats of the character - attack bonus and damage with weapon, for example. If damage output is low in any case, then getting the definite hit with...

It's good to see another one of these releases! Keep them coming! Pinotage

Ooh, this sounds interesting. Got a timeline for that? Pinotage

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 55/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15 Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 28 - hp 45/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5 Avril nervously listened to Siobhan's interpretation of what the animal bones were, even though she herself had surmised as much. "Whatever did this could very well still...

Avril - Human Druid - AC 21 - hp 55/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15 Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 28 - hp 45/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5 It was a majectic sight. A massive lion in the middle of a wasteland. Had they stumbled upon the home of the Ghost Lord? Would they be able to enlist its aid or at least...

Avril - Human Druid - AC 22 - hp 32/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15 Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 29 - hp 25/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5 Only one enemy remained, but Avril still scanned the surrounding area to see if there would be more lurking in the woods. She then swiftly turned her attentian back to the...

Welcome to publishing! I took a brief look at the adventure - one of the things worth pointing out is that it reads a little difficultly - perhaps a little more sectioning/use of bold text would help to separate out various sections of the encounters. I'm also assuming you're aware of Blackdirge...

Avril - Human Druid - AC 22 - hp 32/55 - Spot +15 - Listen +15 Mandla - Riding Dog - AC 29 - hp 25/45 - Spot +5 - Listen +5 She should've come to expect this. Almost inevitably when they fought battles things seemed more than they were. Further creatures burst from the forest, more dangerous...
