When I talk with some of the grognards in our group about the 'way things used to be', they very fondly recall what I like to call the "Mystery of the Absolute Setting." The reason for these whisps of nostalgia generally fall into one of two categories: the search for the Unknown (the mystery)...

Planes of Eberron.

"Have you seen this gnome?"

Just saw this on Amazon, not sure if anyone scooped this or not. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jh%2BpkaBIL._SS500_.jpg

It's bullying, but I don't think it's contrived. If I were the leader of a cult and a high level spellcaster, I would scribe relatively inexpensive scrolls and give them to my low level mooks. Why would you rely on their casting ability? The worst part about save or die though is the fear of...

Changed it a little. By the way, save or die sucks. One of the meanest things a DM can do to a party (and still stay within the 'guidelines' of a fair encounter) is have a BBEG wizard send waves of very low level assassin wizard-rogue mooks with a nearly endless supply of relatively...

With Save or Die going away in 4th edition, I decided to add a homage to the effect using the 'music' from the South Park "Vote or Die" song: Save or die mother******, mother****** save or die! Beat this DC cause I just stuck finger of death through your eye! d20 magic boils down to just one...

Most of us at OnlineDnD.com use MapTool and Skype.

I was thinking of using the path of the Tarrasque's rein of destruction to guide where they will go. If they go to the city of Morgahi while the Tarrasque is laying waste to Borrakus Bayou, they will find a.) they aren't powerful enough to defeat a city of magically enslaved creatures and b.)...

I'm thinking of writing a series of adventures that would have previously been known as an 'Adventure Path' were it not for trademark issues. I provided this as a suggestion to Paizo for improvement to their future APs. Differences between the style of this and what Paizo currently delivers...

The local shop received their copies of the module "The Fall of Frostsilver" for Worldwide D&D Gamday 2007. They made a copy of it and gave it to me, but it's in black & white. After looking at the map, I noticed that it was made using the Dungeon Terrain Tiles. I went in this morning and...

Let's ask Mr. Owl. 1....2....3....Crunch!

Two years ago our face-to-face local area gaming group switched from using the often buggy Yahoo! Groups mailing list to Meetup.com's. We also wanted a little more publicity, and Meetup helped our group grow. In the last few months we started posting all of our campaign session on our...

May I suggest an alternative if you have some money? Laptop. Flat-screen TV. MapTool. Laser Pointers. I have thousands of pieces of plastic that are now obsolete.

OK, I got all three of these yesterday from Amazon. My son really likes the Practical Guide to Monsters. He's only briefly flipped through the Survival Guide. I took a look at all three, and all three look almost exactly the same. Monsters and Dragons are only like $13 though. Fortunately...

I also recommend War of the Burning Sky. My players love it, and it's not a crawl at all. I'm also running Saga of the Dragon Cult online. If you don't like dungeon crawls, don't run this one. If you like dungoen crawls, you'll love it! I'm also currently finishing up the Mere of Dead Men...

A campaign is any series of sessions run by a DM, whether modules are used or not. An adventure path is a sequential series of adventure modules that are intended to encapsulate a campaign.

Yes Mistwell, I also looked that up. It's their petition, I don't think it's final yet. I may want to publish one day. Or someone else might. Or I may want to setup shop as a retailer one day and advertise all of the adventure paths to potential DMs. Or I may just want a simple, universal...

He's just starting to DM now. From the previews, I thought this might be a good way for him to look at all of the "classics" without wading through all of my boxes in the garage.
