Hey - I've got this dead horse, want to beat it? We were playing last Wednesday, and my players were talking about wanting to use Time Stop to gate in a bunch of Solars, and I mentioned it doesn't work. Then, I realized that I couldn't remember exactly why it doesn't work. Anyway, one of my...

Currently Doing the Night Below and at the Sunless Sea: I changed a group of Fire Giants there to be using a metal "steamship" running off captured fire elementals. The players found out it's something retrofitted from the Plane of Fire to work on water. Cloakers can live above the water, in...

Hey - Use Unknown Armies. Simple, gritty, and made-for-movie feel. Unknown Armies. By Atlas Games.

Funnily enough - Heroe's Feast does it, although lamely. Nausea is one of those effects that my players have come to hate, and have scoured for ways past it. I'll let you know if they come up with more besides the Necklace of Adaption (which I think we house ruled that it does)

I've had Dread sitting on my shelf, and I just can't seem to find the gamers for it. Sounds awesome Piratecat - here's hoping I"ll get my chance someday soon.

Home system? Is it going to be used for other things? Me wants it all.

Low Stats != Failure. When you have lower stats, you rely on more absolutes. I'd start seeing players purchasing more healing, and wanting to create items more. They'd worry less about "my character", and worry about "our characters as a whole". That +1 bonus from BLESS becomes that much more...

Gimme, please? EDIT: Forgot magic word

Well, if you're open to 3rd party material - I *HIGHLY* recommend Blackdirge's line of Fighter supplements, under the Master at Arms series. You can click Download Shop at the top, and they're ridiculously cheap for super high quality.

*YES* The Halfling Druid in my Night Below campaign can hit and do as much damage as the parties main tank. He doesn't have the hit points to back it up, but when needed - he swift shifts into elemental form, blasts them, gets out of there, casts a spell, and is generally a really really really...

15,14,13,12,10,8 I'm a busy DM, and so I've run DUNGEON modules almost exclusively. In my experience, a higher point-buy causes most players to think about the "self" before the "group", and that's what causes them to fail/suck in DUNGEON. A lower point-buy has almost always always caused...

Congratulations Blackdirge! That's freaking cool - really freaking cool.

I bought Company of Heroes AND PuzzleQuest after trancejeremy posted the demo AND Deus Ex on Steam AND now I want Penumbra: Overture AND I'm fighting temptation to buy that Sherlock Holmes - Awakened or whatever, with Cthulhu cultists. Ia ia!

Nope - I don't allow cherry-picking. There's no room for it in my game, and there never will be. If a player takes a PrC, it better be for a good reason, and they had better want to take it to the end.

I understand where everyone's coming from - nobody wants anybody to sit there and do nothing. But if you take a creature, but don't use all of their abilities, you're telling your PC's that they don't need to spend resources on preventive measures. I don't know how 'long' your game plans on...

Are you sure that's an official preview / trailer? That looks homemade . . . EDIT: Talking about the youtube video.

A bunch of people didn't like it, but I used it to great effect a couple sessions ago - http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dd/20061028a Monster Makeover of the Beholder! EDIT: Forgot to mention, a lot of it's save or die spells have been replaced with different abilities.

If you have players who won't think it's funny - Powerhouse, by Raymond Scott http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerhouse_(song) I've used it to great effect during a horror game, where a "factory" was full of individual rooms creating 'fear' to be boxed up and shipped out. One room has a...

Psychic's Handbook, by Green Ronin. Better than SRD version, but YMMV

It's clear. You can create "holes" to avoid allies within the area of effect. EDIT: Yes - you are correct, is what I mean.
