PLANESCAPE Hellbound: The Blood War [boxed set] This Planescape adventure ironically ties into the Spelljammer campaign setting. It seems that demons are working on chaosjammer ships, hoping to terrorize wildspace and the phlogiston as well as the material and outer planes themselves. The...

Wildspace [SJA1] This was the introductory adventure to Spelljammer, designed to ease players into the new setting by literally scooping them off their planet and out into Wildspace. The main threat is the Eater of Worlds, a planet-sized machine built by the beholders to devour solar systems...

Two races from Dragon magazine have made prominent appearances in my Planescape 3.5 game -- the t'kel and the adu'ja. The adu'ja are humanoid plants, and the t'kel are reptilian humanoids who serve the adu'ja as a slave race (my back story, not the article's). One of the PCs is an escaped...

I second MapTool. We started with mIRC using MapTool only for battlemaps, but as the DM, I'm pushing the players to all move over to MapTool to make play faster. I also enjoy InitTool by the same website.

Dragonkard cards. Anything by Fat Dragon Games (the products just get better and better looking!). Any of the Gamemastery flip mats or map packs by Paizo. Any and all minis.

Has everyone forgotten that there were official 3E versions of the modrons? It was a web enhancement for the Manual of the Planes. You can download it here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/modrons.zip

Thank you! That explains the title perfectly and all is right in my head once again (for a little while, any way). Now I appreciate the title and can see its relevance. Interesting back story, by the way...and one that seems to lend itself to the 4E cosmology.

Well, that's kinda my point. One usually associates the heart with the lion. Since the author specifically wished to associate the heart with the eagle, does that have bearing on the adventure? The adjective "aquiline" is usually paired with a person's nose, so it's jarring (for me, at least)...

I enjoy 4E, but I'm in the middle of DMing two 3.5 games, so I've simply been converting 4E characters/monsters to 3.5. They translate over rather well...slightly higher hit points, but everything else works out well. Translating over the powers saves me the hassle of having to choose feats...

If it's not too much of a spoiler, could someone in the know explain the meaning of the title "The Beating of the Aquiline Heart?" It's bothered me since I've seen it, and I can't decipher it. Aquiline means "like an eagle" or "like an eagle's beak." I can't find any other definition, and I...

I have a tendency to make things the heroes' fault. The heroes visited a world with a very small group of humans living in a vast, untamed wilderness. Delving into the wilderness's depths, they encountered a plant race who had been unaware of humans...and once they knew about them and studied...

I am in two groups, and we've currently got three games going. Group #1 has been meeting for 6 years. Group #2 has been playing online for 6 years. Group #1: Male, 50, bus driver Male, 45, unemployed Male, 38, retail assistant manager (DM) Male, 33, factory worker (DM) Female, 33, call center...

6 (tabletop) and 6 (online) Yes (tabletop) and Yes (online) Yes, 1 (tabletop) and No (online) 2 females/4 males (tabletop) and 2 females/4 males (tabletop) No Modules (tabletop) and mix of modules and homebrew (online) 26 years, and I'm 37 years old My first gaming group picked up the books and...

Pure speculation on my part, as I'm not in the "know"... WotC worked hard for an SSO (Single-Sign-On), ostensibly to consolidate the multiple screen names of users to track CoC (Code of Conduct) violations as well as cut down on forgotten passwords/emails for little-used accounts. However...

Since you intend to use MapTool, the best thing to do is create your own using TokenTool, available from the same website.

It may well be that the teleport ability is line of sight only, so bypassing pits would be possible, but not circumventing walls or other sight-blocking obstacles.

I would say the preview article was green lighted well before now, and unfortunately no one edited it when plans changed. I KNOW I read somewhere that they decided to revamp the Dragon and Dungeon schedules, having each issue cover 2 months until 4E debuts...so issue 360 for Dragon was November...

Was any information ever revealed about the two runners-up for the setting contest? I know the names of the three finalists were announced, but only Eberron was developed and released as a campaign setting. Could one of the two remaining settings be the implied setting we're getting glimpses...

More than any other setting, Planescape requires thinking. Hack-and-slash is possible in the planes, but more often than not you're dealing with creatures vastly more powerful than your party. Everything has an agenda, and if you can figure out who needs what when, you'll survive to see...

I second Xath -- I like them, but a couple of my hinge clips were broken. Not a big deal in my mind, but I haven't used them in actual play yet. In a semi-unrelated topic, although I don't see it anywhere on the Dark Platypus website, there was a gorgeous gelatinous cube mini at the Con booth...
