SAGA was such a good system. Is there a chance WotC re-purchased the license, possibly having re-negotiated it? C.I.D.

A possible 'evil' race(s) could be deep diving surface dwellers. What if there are a few important shipwrecks around the initital part of the campaign setting. What if one of these wrecks would start spewing toxic goo into the oceans if the wreck is salvaged?

Another aspect of this debate might hinge on if the LGS's political stance delves into the social realm. Complaining about a certain state or federal tax policy is one thing, but social issues are the most divisive out there. I include immigration and affirmative action in this category. Nothing...

Didn't mean to threadjack. I realize that answering that question is tightly tied to specific countries' political situations. ENWorld might be a bit too international in focus to be the proper forum. I still wonder though. Left or Right for gamers' majority.

Bump?

The Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide (used on ebay or Amazon?) has a serviceable track for adventures as well. It looks fun. It needs some DM customization and complexity added to it, but its all part of a complete world book.

Forgot about Dark Sun when I wrote my post earlier. The main book, plus the Creature book, were really well done. I'm NOT planning on playing or running a DS game, but I love the books nonetheless. Dark Sun is one of my three favorite D&D published worlds -- rounding out with Eberon and...

It seems like owning and running a gaming store is financially perilous enough without announcing one's political views. Why alienate potential customers? I probably wouldn't shop at a store if I knew it was owned by an avowed extremist, but a normal run-of-the-mill partsan doesn't bother me...

4e D&D: - Monster Vault -- fixes the mess of monster math that was the Monster Manual 1 - Plane Above: The Astral Sea -- great expansion of the Manual of the Planes and adds a lot of new ideas to a planescape-type campaign. - Rules Compendium -- unfortunately much needed book. BECMI D&D: -...

Not in the version I posted here. This carbuncle I was building to become a servant of a greater evil. I had added some flavor text (that I didn't post here because my players would read it) to serve as a useful aid for forceful interrogations. Picture a small be-gemmed armadillo feeding as a...

There is no real big resource for magic items in the Essentials line yet. The HotFK and HotFL only have the barest smattering of items. We have to wait for Mordenkainen's Magnificent Emporium/Mansion for that. Also, I found the degree of overlap between the Rules Compendium and the DM's Kit...

4e's math could have been divorced from the old scale based on things like level bonuses and the enforced balance of the system. The old scale has probably been kept due to the legacy of what a certain number means as a concept of weaknesses/strength. Saying that your character has an 18 at...

The real question is if a warforged gain benefits from Monte Cook's Nipple Clamps of Exquisite Pain?

I think it will be as well. I definitely don't think it'll be a reprint of anything from Primal Power, though I agree with Jhaelen's other projections. WotC's flavor text for the primal power source has it tied deep into the fabric of the 'natural world.' If anything, Heroes of the Feywild...

It almost seems like a one-shot Epic Tier adventure would work better if all of the characters (from different worlds and times) are drawn into a gladitorial-style arena by some Collector or Meddler type god. They'd be told that they have to fight each other to the deaths for the god's pleasure...

I just thought of the old lurid stories of Roman Emperor Tiberius and his pleasure palaces on the Isle of Capri. Capri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Its not exactly abandoned, but it does evoke the a lot of adventure ideas. Blue Grotto as an ancient holy of the holies. Other parts of the...

Well you broke that seal. If we go down the super-hero accidental sex names route, then Eric's Grandma will surely be offended. C.I.D. May Thor's Hammer never rust. :eek:

Nothing wrong with a drow king! Don't always follow the Monster Manual/historical norms. Even if you were to maintain the drows' cultural traditions of matriarchy, what if this particular drow king was actually a powerful rebel who overthrew local female drow dominion. He then rallied his forces...

One of the big advantages of 4e is that it has a few explicit elements that encourage people to think outside the box, despite the tendency for players to think in terms on only their powers as options. I am thinking specifically of Acrobatic Stunt. I love that mechanic, and I think it doesn't...

I'd say call it "Pull A Franklin Richards". If that's too obtuse a comic book reference then how about calling it the "Anti-Rule," as don't follow the rules. I tried something similar when I introduced the concept of 'Destiny Points' into a 4e campaign I ran in 2009. Basically it was just like...
