    What's the most amazing start to a new campaign you've ever done?

    My favorite one had lots of promise, but the game didn't continue long due to scheduling problems. All the players made 1st lvl PCs and let me have a copy. When they arrived for the first session, I handed them characters, but they were all modified - each PC was 12th lvl, armed with...

    Agianst the Giants

    At NC Game Day last year (I think), we played G1 under Henry using all the old 1e rules and the pre-gen characters. It was a blast. Myself, I don't mind if they update the modules and modify them with the times. I don't always enjoy the same books and tv shows I did twenty years ago, and the...

    Calculating XP drives me crazy

    Hey Piratecat, if you get a chance, use your powers of Search-Fu on these boards and look for Rel's XP system. Rel had a pretty cool system that rewards Story Goals and Roleplay as much as Combat encounters. It gives a standard reward based on character level, and then multiplies that by the...

    Who are the BBEGs of your World?

    Reaching the end of my Scarred Lands campaign, the last BBEG truly left is Aggamar. He's one of the foremost servants of the forgotten titan Gulaben, last seen during the Divine War 150+ years ago. He's been trapped inside an icy prison slumbering all that time, but recent events have awoken...

    Mass Harm

    It builds more off of Greater Harm, also in HoH. Greater Harm has a range of Close instead of touch, and deals 1d12 per caster lvl, up to 20th. Kinda weird to me, since Harm deals 10 per, not d10. 7th lvl spell. Mass Harm is a 9th lvl version of Greater Harm, and is a 20ft burst on caster...

    The Cunningly Disguised MMIV Preview

    I'll echo the sentiment of many here. I could do without the pregenerated treasure on the creatures. And I really love the statblock format. I've worked with the NPC Designer program a decent bit, making a lot of standard monsters, so I'm already used to seeing them in this format when it comes...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Yeah, now that I finally have returned and finished up with the SH as it is, you need to get back to writing Old One. I appreciate you going slow and all so I could catch up, but my slackness shouldn't hold you back anymore. Feel free to post those eight or nine installments you have prepped...

    Running Age of Worms

    Yeah, I just started last week as well, all characters 1st level. The players did me a favor and wanted to have a unifying theme behind the party, so they revolved it around the church. One cleric, one paladin both of Lathander (using FR as backdrop). The gnome bard has been scribing for the...

    Aimed spells fired at target in melee

    Question recently came up regarding spells that require a ranged touch attack to hit. If you fire such a spell at a target that's involved in melee, don't you get the -4 to hit as normal?

    Suggestions for photographing miniatures?

    Hi there. I've recently gotten a few minis painted by friends of mine. The miniatures are exceptionally done, and I'd like to show off the work here. Yet photographing them seems a bit daunting. Anyone have tried and true advice for zooming in on these tiny figures to capture the detail? Thanks.

    Firefly joins SCI FI Friday line-up

    Anyone else find it humorous that it's going to get the exact same time slot as it had on Fox? (of course this is testing my memory. It was a Friday 8:00 show there, right?)

    pogre's story hour Zandyrium -episode 66- (5/10/2006) A short update.

    Sounds like it was a good, rough fight. Figured I'd check out the thread, glad I did so. I guess I'll start from the beginning, just as soon as I catch up with Old One's story hour.

    An open "Thank you" to Erik Mona

    Well, Shackled City and Age of Worms have gotten me to purchase a subscription to Dungeon. I wasn't a reader before, so Mr. Mona and company must be doing something right. :D

    ShadowLight's Adventures in Hirst Arts

    Great stuff, Shadowlight! I've toyed with the idea of getting some Hirst molds before, but never taken the plunge. You make it look easy...

    Farscape (No Spoilers)

    I'll mirror what the others have said - the first season gets better and better by the end. I didn't start watching it at the start ("Henson? I don't want to see more Muppets in Space!"), but I caught the last four eps of Season 1 on a Saturday marathon. And there I was, instant Farscape Junkie.

    Elemental Princes of Evil / Archomentals

    An old Egg of the Phoenix module we played through had four or five of the Evil Princes. I have no idea if it was normally in the module, nor if the module was TSR or some other company like Role Aids. Cracked-out fun, though.

    Harry Potter zit team

    I'm in the process of reading book 4, and they actually mention acne. There are these plants in Herbology class that secrete pus (charming), and Madame Ponfrey can make some kind of salve to cure acne. So maybe they're trying to stay true... :D

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Glad I scrolled down and caught this update! Negotiating with really powerful demons... not something I'd be eager to do.

    Net between two horses

    How would you handle two horsemen with a net between them trying to entangle a character on the battlefield? Would it be something like an overrun, or a touch attack? All sorts of options are running through my head, so I wondered if this knowledgeable group had ideas.
