    Origins Game Fair

    I checked the site via the link, but I couldn't find any prices. Do you know where I can find info on the cost of a full show versus one day badge?

    Need Help Up-Converting Bastion of Broken Souls.. MY PLAYERS STAY OUT!

    I'm not particularly familiar with the Paragon racial levels. I glanced at the SRD and found them in the Unearthed Arcana section, but what I was wondering is how you go beyond the three levels presented there? I may have missed it, but was there some formula for extending the level charts...

    The Doomed Bastards: Reckoning (story complete)

    I...can't believe it. I started on this SH a few weeks back and it seemed like it would go on forever. To have caught up was....shocking! I've been greatly enjoying this story, LB, your approach and execution have been amazing! As many others have commented, it's surprising that you...

    OotS 489 "Keepin' the Little Man Down"

    Theoretical offspring of Cruella deVille and Sauron...tremendous, had me laughing out loud! :) I missed the "Kilonazi" unit of measurement first time through, glad I read this thread. "Kilonazis..." LOL!

    Complete index of D&D creatures

    Thanks, Echohawk. I realized this morning on my way to the office that I hadn't checked other tabs in the workbook to see if maybe this was explained! :) My bad, great job on your part and thanks for the clarification.

    Complete index of D&D creatures

    Awesome work, thanks! :) One question though, what is the significance of the "Canon" column? I know what the word means, but I don't understand the context here.

    Gah! - ads never stop loading

    Has anyone else seen this? I'll click a group or thread, and the page will sit there, mostly loaded, but keep spinning as it futilely tries to load ads from some google site. Is there anything that can be done about this? It doesn't prevent the use of the site as far as I know, but it's...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Physical Copy

    I got mine Tuesday evening (aug. 28th) and have flipped through a bit. I'm very impressed with the production values, though I haven't had the time to absorb the actual material yet. One thing I really like, though, and I'm probably a freak, is the smell. I LOVE that fresh ink scent, it...

    D&D Brand Manager of Fluff

    AKA "Coin-flipping for Dummies" ;) Sorry, diaglo, I can't resist bad puns...it's gotten my players to threaten to stab me in the eye with a pencil more than once... I think that the ideas already expressed in this thread are great: Giant book, Fey book, setting books (especially Greyhawk and...

    "How to make a Monster Manual Pt II" article

    I haven't picked up MMV yet, so I don't have an opinion on the specific details of the product. One of my favorite products (in concept, if not execution) was Savage Species. To me this represented the potential for unlimited imagination and experience within the D&D game. When I see the many...

    What options are you really happy you allowed into your game?

    Second for gestalt. While the players were initially a bit overwhelmed with options, they've adjusted and now lament the conclusion of our campaign (tonight! :() because of having to go back to the "old way" of doing things. As DM, I've found it much more fun to be able to throw tougher...

    What should a 3rd level wizard buy with 250K+ gold?

    Infinite Scrollcase from Magic Item Compendium would be useful to any wizard. Also, I forget the name and source right now, but there is an eyepiece or monocle that allows the user to identify a magic item by studying it for one minute. The scrollcase is like 2800 gp and the monocle about...

    Opinions on Gesalt Characters?

    I'm currently DMing a gestalt campaign and have found that the rule of CR+1 and CR+2 doesn't seem to hold as well as I'd like. I started my group at 6th level and have been running them through the Seeds of Sehan campaign arc from Dungeon issues 145-147. The BBEG in Vile Addiction, a CR 11...

    Would you play your game here?

    lol...sorry for the distraction! ;) Gaming possibilities were the first thing to enter my mind with this rig. Dedicated software, no further need for a real grid since each mini (or icon, depending) can be tracked for reach and movement - with terrain effects automagically accounted for - as...

    Would you play your game here?

    As others have said, I wouldn't pay unless the amenities were spectacular. For example, the gaming table would have to support surface computing (see http://www.microsoft.com/surface), there would have to be food and drink available, comfortable chairs, plenty of extra surface area to support...

    Need means of dismissing spell cast by another caster

    Greater Dispelling could work. I hadn't really thought about it too much, but since dismissing a spell is a standard action anyway, I guess it's feasible. I'll have to think about that as an option. Pallid, the wall of force was just an example of the type of dismissing I was looking to do...

    Need means of dismissing spell cast by another caster

    Hello, I am working on an adventure in which several powerful spellcasters are operating in coordination, and I'd like to be able to have some of the lower-level ones be able to dismiss a spell cast by a higher-level caster. For example, a high level wizard might erect a wall of force to hold...

    What Computer Programs Do You Use for D&D?

    Word and Excel mostly. I've created a simple Word template for the current format for monsters as used in Dungeon and MM 4. I tend to use it to create individual pages for the opponents my party will face. Once saved as a template I create a new page for a creature from the File -> New...

    Greater Turning and Vampires

    Hmmm...well, I guess I'll just have to ensure that my vampires take improved turn resistance as a feat, and keep the fights localized to Unhallowed areas. That and a bunch of low level undead to soak the turns oughta dismay those Pelor-worshipping, holy-rolling Radiant Servants and...
