    Psionics: Do you use 'em or did you lose 'em

    Depends on the campaign I'm running. Current Scarred Lands game? No. I wanted to go more a traditional fantasy route. The Planescape games I've run? Sure, why not? There are mind flayers in plenty of locales and all sorts of oddness that makes psionicists seem rather normal.

    Planescape parties and factions

    Hey, IIRC that was my Athar. Wasn't this the game you ran at NC Game Day II?

    Planescape parties and factions

    In my general PS games, the players all pick different factions, going with the above suggestion of "non-warring" factions. It makes for good variety and some good roleplay when the tough decisions come about. Also, I have run one short-lived theme campaign in PS, where the entire group was a...

    A night below or Temple of elemental evil

    My vote's in for Temple.

    Illustrations of magic items

    I know that the older Earthdawn books had cards for magic items that you could hand out to players. And there was at least one company putting out such material on RPGNow. Here's a link to one (and looks like they've got five supplements overall)...

    Dunjinni worth it?

    I've had it since Xmas and am just starting to get my hands dirty with it. I really like it. If you're looking to make grid maps where you can set all your minis up for good combat, there is no better program. The cost seemed prohibitive to me at the start, but it is a quality program. It's a...

    How do you present your house rules?

    For the current campaign, we talk regularly on a private forum I have just for that game. At the start I posted threads related to Character Creation, House Rules, and some background for the setting. They are always there in case my players have questions or want to peruse them. We also stay...

    Your screen resolution (for a RPG website)

    My current resolution is 1152 x 864. But when designing for webpages, I tend to stick to 800 x 600 as a rule of thumb.

    Anyone else love VGCats?

    Fun stuff, although disturbing at times. The whole Pac-Man "I've got a great idea!" skit immediately comes to mind...

    Escaping Carceri

    I seem to recall a crazy DiTerrlizzi illustration of a graybeard hanging on to a rope/balloon, using that in an attempt to cross from one orb to the next. I think it was from one of the interior books to Planes of Conflict. It's a bit Oz-like, but you could have them come across some seemingly...

    Gameplay Cutscenes -- Yea or Nay?

    I recall a thread or two like this recently. As I said then: I have a friend who runs an awesome Star Wars game, and he makes great use of cut-scenes. It works well for the genre. But like many others have said, they wouldn't work well in my game. I like the characters to experience the plot...

    Heroes of Battle will be available May 5th!

    I won't be able to look up more, as I'm supposed to be doing that work thing. =) But the five or six I have listed in the appendix are statted out. The brass steed is a construct, and the tusked behemoth, yes indeed, looks like the giant elephant-beasts out of Return of the King. The War...

    Heroes of Battle will be available May 5th!

    I've got Heroes of Battle in hand. Just happened to be in the FLGS when she was putting it and Champions of Ruin on the shelf. Has anyone posted the table of contents for HoB yet? I could probably do that quick if people wanted...

    Round 13 is Over

    Precise shot. As levels go up, take the penalty to hit and get more use out of the feat you selected instead.
