    Age of Worms pictures + video (Spoilers)

    Props While the Lightning Bolt(or more resembling Call Lightning) prop was cool, I was more impressed with the lifelike Bigby's Crushing Hands! Well, have fun storming the castle... Later! Gruns

    Good Shaman class?

    New homemade Shaman After further review, none of those seem to be quite what I'm looking for. I find the problem lies in the spell selection for most of them. They're all a little too nature-y or spirit-y for my taste. Looking for something a little more curse-y and buff-y. So I decided to...

    What is 'normal' for you?

    Middle of the road. Group: 3 Players + 1 DM Three are married, one is gay but otherwise attached. All age 30-35 "normal professionals". Three of us have known each other for almost 15 years. The new guy's wife works with my wife, and he recently joined a few years ago. We try to meet once a...

    Good Shaman class?

    Hey all. I'm looking to create a tribalistic kind of shaman. Probably Half-Orc as it fits my character concept. Think Everquest Shaman type of role: Major emphasis on debuffing, moderate buffs, minor healing. Melee isn't out of the question. Anyway, the Spirit Shaman from Complete Divine...

    101 Things To Find in a Sewer

    Cubert #93: A small, but advanced Gelatinous Cube (not so affectionately known around these parts as Cubert) with remnants of a childs dress inside... One of the city guards' daughters has recently turned up missing as well. Later! Gruns

    How do you cope with only 4 characters in a party?

    Make it work! I'm currently DMing a group of 3 PCs: Rogue, Ranger, Favored Soul... Note the lack of arcane caster or true tank... To help out a bit, I gave them special weapons that let them cast some minor stuff once a day. Nothing too exciting. The rogue has "shadowy" stuff like Ghost Light...

    M:tG "Gift Cards"

    Yeah, they have to be designed with the specific character in mind. Some cards just don't work with some characters. For example Guided Strike (All of your attacks next round automatically hit.) would be pretty absurd for a power attacking, greataxe wielding half-orc barbarian with great cleave...

    M:tG "Gift Cards"

    Hey all! Just thought I'd share a little something from my campaign. Back in the old days, my (brief)DM used to give all of the players a "Gift Scroll" for Christmas. This was a list of 10 somewhat obscure statements that you could "use" (cross off your list) at virtually any time. Somewhat akin...

    Reaper to produce pre-painted Plastic minis - Non-random

    Same molds! Didn't someone mention something about not using the same molds as the metal version? I have the metal version of the Orc with the Spear in the foreground. At work right now, but I'll post a pic tonight from home. From memory though, it looks identical. Later! Gruns

    RHoD: Buffed Azarr Kul Stats *SPOILER?*

    hello! First of all, ***SPOILER ALERT*** If you're playing Red Hand of Doom, you should probably stop reading here... ... Hello again non-RHoD players and/or cheaters! I was just preparing to stat out Azarr Kul in fully buffed mode, and could tell it was going...

    Orc and Pie archive?!

    Hey all! Help! Does anyone happen to have a copy (or a working link) of the old, old "Orc and Pie" bit originally from Nutkinland that involved people posting their version of the Orc and Pie adventure as DM'd by certain celebrities? In particular the Quentin Tarentino and Christopher Walken...

    Which class is the most useless?

    Well... Well, except that type of character is still better as a Charisma based Rogue... BARDS WIN!(Or lose...) Later! Gruns

    Rules for whip use?

    Also... If I recall, there are a few Feats/Skills/Etc in Complete Scoundrel detailing use of whips in an Indiana Jones fashion. (Swinging from chandeliers, that sort of thing.) I don't own the book, but I think it was browseable from the portion they show on WotCs' page. Later! Gruns

    Cover/Concealment

    But of course. Heh. Yeah, it looked like MS Paint, but figured that would be far too much work for such a trivial thread. Figured there might be some kind of Scenario Generator 2.0 software or something out there, complete with D&D iconic monsters. Guess not. Later! Gruns The cracking roof due...

    Cover/Concealment

    Thanks! Hey all, Thanks for the replies. Nice pictures. The ranger vs. manticore pic was pretty much dead on, even regarding the way the two were facing. What program was used for those, anyway? As for the Large Tall(Ogre) vs. the Large Long(Manticore) thing, if we were still running 3.0 rules...

    Cover/Concealment

    Hey all. Are there any very good FAQ's regarding cover/concealment out there? Our group normally gets along just fine, and I usually just go with what seems logical when it comes to rules disputes, and everyone is usually fine with that. However, recently we're having trouble agreeing with...

    Ideas for a gladiatorial type tournament?

    Good, good. Thanks for the ideas! While I think the "Test of Tactics" tourney will be a fun night of dice rolling, it'd be even cooler to have some darker, hidden plot going on behind it. And best of all, I get to come up with all kinds of weird "teams". Time to bust out the grapple rules...
