    SO: sick of drow? Let's create a new nation of evil elves.

    I came up with an idea for a campaign where the Elves dissapeared into thier forests (after a war between dragons and devils) for a few centuries. Anyone entering the forest never returned, so it was shunned. During the campaign, the elves were going to return in droves, but they were now...

    AU/DND Fusion

    Im working on doing this for a future Eberron campaign after my AU one ends. I'm planning on keeping the AU magic and DnD magic completely seperate and labeling them as different Arcane Magics. The main issues I have come up against is when comparing the Magic systems themselves, not...

    DUNGEON #114 Map File Now Available

    Now if I could just get a download of the Maure Castle maps, I would be a happy DM. My copy of that Dungeon is already starting to look wornout.

    Why is Eberron being pushed so hard?

    I could be totally wrong, Im not Keith, but I would assume when someone uses that descriptor, they are using it rather loosely. The term, Medieval, brings to mind, kings, queens, knights in platemail, sword, and longbows, possibly even wizards and dragons. I know its what comes to mind when I...

    Why is Eberron being pushed so hard?

    Hehe...I just use the term Dark Ages because I always misspell medieval :)

    Why is Eberron being pushed so hard?

    If anything, this thread has made me very curious about Eberron. The idea of a world where magic item creation is a part of the setting and where I can use swashbuckling, pulp, and standard dnd elements all at the same time sounds great. The core rules of DnD have never really made sense...

    Considering the Helm of Opposite Alignment

    Very true, but I get the feeling that most evil folks don't like thier evil buddies. They just hang with them because of mutual benefit :) In most cases, the helm would help them see the error of their ways and would see past evilness as abhorrent. A pc with a good diplomacy could help them...

    Considering the Helm of Opposite Alignment

    So I was running last night and the party picked up this cursed item. They had also captured some evil mercs. So, needing information, they used the device on a merc until he "converted". Since the item is relatively cheap, it seems like this handy device could be used by Good organizations...

    Classic Adventures

    All right...where can I find these old adventures? I've searched WotC's site, but no dice so far.

    Desert of Desolation - your experiences?

    I ran it over ten years ago. All I remember is a great rivalry between the party wizard and fighter. The wizard fired off one of the thunderclaps from the artifact pharoahstaff and gave the fighter a phobia for snakes. (Cant remember if this was adlibbed or not). Later, the fighter charged...

    The Mésalliance. Part 1. (Updated 4/18.)

    Although its not hell, this update reminds me of the picture in the 1ed PHB, Paladin in Hell. Usually its been the casters (Mostin and Nwm) that have wowed me in this story, but this time, the day definitely goes to Eadric. Wow.

    What do you do with a cheating player!

    Ive got a player like this. He uses the tiny dice with no color lettering so noone can tell what he is rolling. He's used cans and such on the table to block folks view from his roll. Its not just rolls however. He also uses things like the variable feats (Power Attack and Expertise) to keep...

    As a DM do you secretly enjoy the obnoxious player who pisses everyone else off?

    If the players are having fun and the guy is not intentionally trying to screw over the other players, then I love them. As a player and a dm. I'll take a goofball over a min-maxing powergamer anyday.

    What good are insta-kill spells and monsters ?

    Hehe.....the yahoo group for my game is called Deathwalkers, the name of the adventuring company I ran through RttToEE. They had all died at least once, some twice :) Sure, Im game, although I doubt I could afford the flight to Australia. :) So what's the story on this rapid succession of...

    What good are insta-kill spells and monsters ?

    I have to agree with a lot of the posters on here. I don't have a problem with insta-kill spells or effects, if used responsibily by the DM. Most of them are higher-level and that's what comes with higher level play. The players should know and expect the opposition to use their abilities to...
