    What are the "best" Dungeon adventures

    Beldar, I believe that "Trouble at Grogs" is in one of the compilations that you can buy as a PDF from Paizo or RPGNow. #4 is a pain to get a hold of. Aaron.

    What are the "best" Dungeon adventures

    I at one time endeavored to own all the "best" of dungeon. I took some polls and did a lot of research. I owned every 3e+ dungeon, and had everything that was even slightly remembered as being good from the older players. I looked them all over and read them all. Here is my conclusion: As I...

    All I want is a necromancer without gimmiks

    I agree with you Blaque, My biggest beef about the necromancer builds is that the pale master seemed sort of introspective, that is the person wanted to be some kind of undead. He wanted to be like the undead so he became some sort of Undead. Not any real specific kind. The Dread...

    Backwards Dice roller?

    The problem with your approach palscane is that if it is not linear you start to get weird stuff. For example a weapon that does 1-12 (1d12) vs a weapon that does 2-12 (2d6) are different in the average department. the 1d12 has an average roll of 6.5, but all sides are equal so the chances of...

    Backwards Dice roller?

    which dice and how many actually depends on the type of statistical curve that you want. Is it linear? Is it a skewed curve? A program that sucked in the number range and then showed you the dice combinatons with thier bell curves would be really handy from the game design point of view...

    All I want is a necromancer without gimmiks

    Looks like I will need to take a closer look at Heroes of Horror as it sounds like it provides all that I want. How much do the Archivist and the Dread Necromancer classes use rules that are outside the three core rulebooks? I am getting the impression that the DN is a 3.5 take on the White...

    All I want is a necromancer without gimmiks

    UA also allows for some alternate versions of the necromancer like the ability to trade the familiar for an undead servant. I have a character named Sarm the Ambivelant who is a Dwarven grave digger by trade. He has an undead asssistant who he has outfitted with a suit of armor. The armor...

    All I want is a necromancer without gimmiks

    See thats the thing though... The whole cleric = better necromancer misses the trope. I know that D&D is supposed to have gods that deal with death, but I have always seen the Necromancer as someone that cheats the order of things. He should need no gods or at least delude himself into...

    All I want is a necromancer without gimmiks

    So we have in the core game: Specialist Necromancer Wizard (The hobbyist) Pale Master (Poser necromancer) True Necromancer (The PhD program) Dread Necromancer (Become a lich in 20 easy steps) Ok, here is what I want in a necromancer- I want a way for a wizard to create, summon or otherwise...

    Superman I & II: not all that

    I have always thought that Gotham was NY, it made sense and NY actually goes by that name. I was not aware that all the principle cities from D.C. were in New Jersey. :) I supposed that Metropolis was Chicago because of the fact that 1) it is close to farm land. Superman grew up as a farm boy...

    I've got the D&D Spell Compendium- Any questions?

    Well it gives druids somthing to fight with. I remember how in 3.0 there was a druid spell that was a version of entangle or web that was done with thorns and so did damage. It was very overpowered. However the reason it was made was because at the time the druid characters did not have a big...

    Superman I & II: not all that

    My problem with the Superman Movies (I and II) is that they put him in New York. Not Gotham or Metropolis but in Spiderman's city. Lex Luthor is not bald and seems to be more of a criminal mastermind in hiding than a criminal mastermind that owns corporations and hides behind the guise of a...

    Gaming in an open enviroment

    An open ended game largely depends on how fast you can reach the relevant info. The Wilderlands of High Fantasy campaign setting is built around this principle. It is based on having enough idea hooks ready to go but leaving them in limbo for the DM to mould the situation around. If you...

    Farewell to my little cousin

    I am sorry to hear that MM, and it hits close to home with my buddy Damon and his struggle. I will pray. Since I got the RPG books back from the auction house that they decided they could not move, I have been lax on getting the rest of the auctions up. This inspires me to push forward. Aaron

    I just read "Tarzan of the Apes"

    REH's stories are an interesting study when you look at his life and when the stories were written and their content. His style changes after meeting Novelyn Price in that some of his women become more empowered. Also, the racism drops off a little. This is noticable if you read them in the...

    It is October,let's talk about the supernatural.

    Thats awesome. I have no idea. Lets just say get people to worship them. My intent is not to start a conversation on religion. But there are some pretty freaky stories in that mp3. If you are looking for the stories FF to about minute 30.

    It is October,let's talk about the supernatural.

    I have seen my share of the supernatural. I used to have light involvement with occult forces thinking that I was doing good. However as Anton LeVay put it: There is no white magic, all of it is black. I believe that ghosts are demons imitating people that once lived and I believe in demonic...

    So, I need a Cat whacked....

    Do nothing to harm the animal. Do nothing outside of the law. Report the cat to animal control and hopefully it doesn't have a rabies tag. Cat will be gone. If she even thinks to ask you after she has not seen the cat that she does not really care about for a few days, tell her the whole...
