    McFarlanes’S Dragons are out.

    In an amazing display of serendipity, one of my players brought the sorcerer and clan dragon in on the same night when they met their first dragon of the campaign. The adventure was even centered around retrieving an orb from said dragon. The bad news was, said dragon suddenly increased in...

    Flaming arrows vs. a dragon with DR, what do you think?

    This situation came up last night, and I had about four options and no idea which one should have held forth. A ranger PC was firing normal arrows from a +1 bow at a dragon with DR 5/magic. The arrows had Flame Arrow cast on them. The question was how much of the damage (on the rare occasion...

    Best RPG Books to Read

    I laughed out loud after reading that one, too. The tone of all their writing is exactly what I'm looking for in a module. City State of the Invicible Overlord is one of the more inspiring books I've read, and I'm not even done with it yet. That is my players' next stop for sure.

    City State of the Invincible Overlord -- Is it really that good?

    Any suggestions on where to place this baby in the Forgotten Realms (or what city to replace with it)? It's arriving this week, and I'm really looking forward to it.

    For your pleasure, a high-Res map of middle Faerun

    Very nice and comprehensive. Sad that the area around Darkhold didn't make it. That's where most of my adventures take place. Thanks!

    D&D 3.5, Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting (Full)

    I would love to play in this game. I DM a tabletop game in the FR every week, and play in a PbP over on rpgchat all the time. I'll send you a wizard type later today.

    TPK last night - 1st one (sniff)

    These guys are at the complete opposite end of your spectrum, despite my efforts to build a world (Forgotten Realms) around them (I actually created a lot of their character history out of desperation). They are true rollplayers, much more interested in tactical combat than anything else...

    Is The Web Spell Broken?

    This spell is a royal pain to deal with. I simplified it as follows: If you make the Reflex save at the time of the casting, you may move up to half your move speed (10'-15') on your turn to avoid the web (it may not be enough). Otherwise, you're stuck in the web. Once stuck, you may spend...

    TPK last night - 1st one (sniff)

    Oh, they were at full strength - the dragon had gotten away and ravaged Daggerford, now that he had the "Orb of Dragonbane" out of the way. The PC's were trying to finish the job after the death of the duke's son, an NPC that had travelled with them. I'm toying with the idea of having them...

    "Survivor - Faerun" :) Only other good thing about it is I don't have to figure up the xp ;)

    So, who will lose to UK in the NCAA final? (March Madness Brackets thread)

    Here's why UK basketball is a religion... My theory goes like this - Kentucky leads the world in three things: Tobacco (yes, they do, NC :p ), bourbon, and race horses. So we've got smoking, drinking and gambling out the wazoo in a predominantly Baptist state (dry counties are still in the...

    TPK last night - 1st one (sniff)

    Boy, did they. After the first went down it was maybe three rounds before it was over. Sort of a High Noon battle, but one side left their bullets at home. :) Appreciate all the feedback, btw. I believe I did blow the Dispel on the ethereal wizard. I think the ray would work, but forgot...

    TPK last night - 1st one (sniff)

    The spelleater has a Greater Dispelling ray - very nasty. The thane gains damage reduction of a particular energy type after he's been damaged by it (interesting). Both have 23-25 SR's and 24 or so AC's, as well as 150-200 hp, and a couple of other special abilities that didn't come into play...

    TPK last night - 1st one (sniff)

    Large lizardman-looking, spellcaster-hatin' monstrous humanoids from Fiend Folio. There's a pic of 'em on Wizards Art Gallery. The PC's had been slaughtering lizardmen by the tribeful prior to this, which probably made them even more overconfident.

    TPK last night - 1st one (sniff)

    Sarkrith Smackdown Situation: Our four heroes, all 9th-10th level, having just beat up on an adult black dragon, find their way to its lair in the hope of finishing him off. Instead, they find its two allies, a Sarkrith spelleater and thane. The PC's just waded in, with virtually no buffs in...

    Big FFG Sale -- I went on a spree!

    What is up with this website? I keep getting my shopping basket emptied! ARGH! Good luck, FFG. This is nuts. I can buy one book at a time (offering $27 shipping). If I try to add more than one book to the basket it clears it out. Thanks. Cookie settings. As usual, my fault. Apologies.
