Hmmm, it wasn't my intention to present a dichotomy at all, just an emphasis on what drives the action - player choice or existing story elements. I've played in games where the characters decide something and the action proceeds from there, as well as games in which the characters have to be...

Hello, I've been agitating lately in our Shackled City game to have more time to do character-specific development stuff, and it got me to thinking about D&D campaigns in a kind of general way. A lot of the games I've played have been guided by specific adventures, mostly published but...

OK, I couldn't find info here but I went into PayPal and looked at my history, and based on payments to Russell was able to calculate that yes, it's about time to renew my account. Might I suggest some means of notifying people when their subscription is almost up? An email, or a note that...

Hello, I signed up for a community supporter account a while back, and intended to remain in that status for the foreseeable future. However, I no longer appear to have access to the search functionality, and I see my "tag" says registered user. But what I can't find is any information on...

Done! Thanks for making it so easy to order, I've been hit and miss keeping track of the threads to find out when I could, so finding the link so easily accessible was very useful. Will you be following up with a shipping notice when the book heads out? Thanks again! :)

No information on this at all? Please, if some is available, I'd be interested in hearing it. I've dug out some old modules for which I believe conversions exist on this site, but I cannot get to them. Thank you.

Skip Williams talked about this very issue in a Rules of the Game article on carrying capacity back in 2005. You can find the article at Rules of the Game: Carrying Things (Part Three). His conclusion in regard to nesting extradimensional spaces was that you should ignore anything except the...

Hello, The link to the Conversion Library in the D&D 3rd Edition Rules forum does not link to conversions, but instead takes a user back to the main page. I saw there was a bug report on this back around July 6th or so, but my searching didn't reveal any information related to why this error...

Depending on the focus of your character, another option that can be useful is Swimming the Styx which grants a swim speed and the ability to breathe water. I have a 10th level warlock too, and I have Swimming the Styx, Fell Flight and Flee the Scene, and the mobility is pretty useful. I also...

Ditto. They're three of my favorite d20 books, and earlier today prior to getting to this thread I was pondering how to use an eldritch weaver as an unusual adversary for my players. I still want to run a game with a dread lich titan as the BBEG. :) I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble...

Yes! I almost put "Werewolf" into my list, but I couldn't remember the name of the game itself. I do have some Rage cards in a box someplace. It seems there are a lot of fun card games out there, I wish more people around where I live (central PA) would be into these. Maybe I can nudge some...

Nice! I didn't know about any of those, I guess because I can't find the cards at my FLGS. And, I don't know anyone who plays. I suppose a little internet search wouldn't have hurt... :)

Hi, I was going through my game closet recently and was looking through some of the boxes of CCGs I've acquired (but never play) over the years. I was wondering what other CCGs (besides Magic:The Gathering) people out there own. The ones I found and wish I could play again at some point...

I thought Cruemann was supposed to be the comic relief! ;)

I have to agree with Starbuck and That One Guy, you can't underestimate the usefulness of Deceive Item and a maxed out UMD skill. Also, the power of the warlock will vary considerably depending on the context of the encounter. In a tactical situation, a 6th level warlock should have Fell...

I'm not digging 4E, so there's nothing there for me, nothing I want to see, so they won't get my money.

Thank you! I'll be certain to forward that to the DM. I'm just getting the dude developed, losing him this early would be very disappointing! Thanks again! :)

Hi, In our game last night, my cohort, a goliath barbarian, was in battle and raging, and so his hit point total was 10 higher than normal (70 instead of 60). He got trapped in bad terrain and got hit for enough to have taken a total of 72 points of damage over the course of the battle. So...

How hideous? Shackled City HC hideous (~$50 US)? Rappan Athuk Reloaded hideous (~$75 US)? Ptolus hideous (~$120 US)? More? Honestly, I've not even read through the first adventure yet. I don't always buy things because I want to use them in any near term fashion...sometimes it's just about...

Harcover compilation, you say? And where might I be able to acquire that? :) Once it's released, of course! And if one needs to pre-order to help production estimates, I'd be happy to sign on for that. Please post a link here, if one is available.
