I graduated college in 1992 with a Bachelor's in English and certification to teach in the state of Tennessee. Never did find a teaching job, though, as I didn't want to move, and now I'm too jaded to deal with teenagers. I'll stick to trying to keep my kids from turning out like the monsters in...

My three girls (ages 12, 8, and 7) all play the D&D minis game, as well as the D&D Basic set. I'm looking forward to the day when they can focus long enough to start a family campaign...:)

I also game with a lot of people online whose real names I don't know, or whose last names I don't know. My tabletop games are with family (my wife and kids) and people I met at a gaming store whom I now consider friends -- we've been meeting for the past three years.

One example from literature is Castle Perilous by John DeChancie. It's a demon transformed into a humongous castle with 999 rooms (or 9,999 or 99,999 -- I don't remember the exact amount). Many of the windows and doorways lead off to different worlds or dimensions as well, and there are dead and...

You can find the other 3E version Planescape faction prestige classes on my website at http://planehopping.tripod.com . I've updated some of them to 3.5 for my own campaign, but I haven't posted them anywhere. The prestige classes in the Planar Handbook are based on my original article but...

Technically, the name for the planet on which the Forgotten Realms, Al-Qadim, Kara-Tur, and Maztica campaign settings take place is Abeir-Toril. Voadam is correct -- the moon's of Krynn are called Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari. The planet for the Eberron campaign setting is called Eberron...

I've found over the years that players avoid the cleric class because of the learning curve. With a massive list of spells at each level, in order to be truly effective, a player has to be familiar with those spells. Very few people, in my experience, have the patience and dedication to do so...

There are currently 57 adventures free for download for 3E/3.5E on the Wizards of the Coast site. You can find them here.

I posted this in a similar thread just minutes ago. The Wizards of the Coast gaming calendar has all the games currently running on their chatsite. If you see a day and time that works for you, contact the GM listed to see if you can join the game.

When our group first formed, we were all strangers...we just happened to meet at the local gaming store and decided to play D&D. During that time, we took in anybody who showed at the shop at game time and wanted to play. After a couple years, the shop went out of business and we had to find...

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't disparaging the system, simply pointing out that for the encounters I plugged into it, chi/rho awarded more XP than by the DMG. I intend to use the spreadsheet and the chi/rho system from now on, if only because it's quicker than calculating XP by each...

Party consists of: 8th-level sorcerer with a +1 LA = 81 10th-level paladin = 100 9th-level druid = 81 9th-level favored soul = 81 4th-level rogue/4th-level fighter/1st-level Order of the Bow initiate = 81 4th-level bard/3rd-level druid/3rd-level dervish = 100 P = 524...

I'll admit, math is not my strong point, but I dutifully plugged in my group's numbers and a couple past encounters into the formulae and then compared the results to the standard method of calculating XP in the revised Dungeon Master's Guide. In every case, the method in this pdf ended up...

I have a Yahoo group for my online Planescape campaign, and another for my Star Wars d20 game. They don't really have setting info...they're more a repository for character creation, integrated equipment, feat, and skills documents, and pics, as well as a place for the players to store their...

I'm the only one in my group with a laptop. I have my character sheet on it, and I also use the SRD while my wife uses our Player's Handbook. The DM has also sent me .wav files for certain situations, which I keep queued up to play when he signals. I also use the laptop when I DM our Star Wars...

Mastertools...the ultimate gaming tool, integrating character generation, 3-D graphics, tile-based mapping, and campaign management software. The presentation at Gen Con 2001 made me drool. Sadly, the current crop of computer-based campaign management tools don't do it for me. While Dundjinni...

The samurai from Oriental Adventures is an existing example of someone with a weapon whose powers increase as the character advances in level. I borrowed those rules for the paladin in my Planescape campaign, as his weapon is an artifact of his church.

I have started several campaigns with several different groups with two Dungeon adventures -- "The Trouble with Mylvin Wimbly" followed by "The Keep at Koralgesh." I even converted them and started my first 3E campaign with them. I recently ran a converted version of "Train of Events" which the...

The new submission guidelines give a good timeline of contacting the editors to follow up on your queries and submissions, but things do get lost in the cracks. I've had hard copy manuscripts get lost in the mail, contracts get lost in the mail, pay checks go to other authors, and emails get...
