In my playtest game the characters met the goblin king of the Sunless Citadel and his 10 goblin guards. A couple of rounds later 7 goblin warriors joined the melee. It was appropriate and bloody. The characters were victorious and 5 warriors routed. If you want some sort of challenge rating...

There are real armor left and lots of replicas made so there's good info online. The weights of chain mail and plate armor are pretty accurate in D&D. Anything from 40-60 pounds (~20-30 kg) for a full body armor. That's less than what soldiers nowadays carry. After gunpowder, coats of plate and...

Is that armor made for pixies? How on earth, wind, and fire did you come up with those weights?

e23: 0one's Blueprints: Caverns of Chaos - 0one's Blueprints: Caverns of Chaos "Caverns of Chaos is an expanded version of the dungeon where all of us have cut our teeth in the early days of Dungeons & Dragons. These maps can be assembled to form a huge map (25,5 x 22 inches) or used individually."

Exactly! Armor also shouldn't be a class feature. Knights rode horses and wore armor because it was efficient, not because they are knights. D&D thus shouldn't have class features that limit certain armor to only knight-types and give them abilities to summon horses. I agree that ringmail is...

You don't have to reference the table since you'll soon remember it. It hasn't got that many options. The critical hit deck is similarly easy - the DM can just pick up the next card from the deck and say its effects. It's way less bother than looking up a spell.

In my d20/3.x games I use the best d&d accessory ever created - Paizo's critical hit deck. If you score a critical hit, you draw 1-3 cards, depending on your crit multiplier, and choose one. There's different effects for bludgeoning, slashing, piercing and magic. The effects can be brutal in...

_Why_ is it unappealing? It's not sweeping the problem under the table but adopting the GM advice many games offer these days. It's basically 'either set the stakes or say yes'. You shouldn't even have to roll if there's nothing at stake; they're offering that advice as standard M.O. If there's...

You have not found a single good module from all the modules published for 4e? And how is anyone forcing a game down your throat? You don't have to buy it or play it, man. Chilax. Personally I really liked Thunderspire Labyrinth as a setting for adventuring and Madness at Gardmore Abbey looks at...

D&D has a lot of bookkeeping: hit points, surges, powers / spells, treasure, single use magic items etc. I don't see it as a problem in that context. In some other games I might mind it. E.g. Savage Worlds is designed to minimize bookkeeping so it might feel tacked on. Still, the main point...

Here's my short wish list: 1) Conflict resolution that supports setting the stakes, and complications. This is part DM advice and part mechanical. There should be a standard system and advice for e.g. climbing a wall and then setting the stakes so that your basic result isn't always the binary...

This is pretty much how I have played my d20 for years now. Originally I planned this for our d20 Conan game which started to break down at higher levels like all d20 games but I've been using it in two d&d campaigns and one pathfinder campaign. I also gave up the expected magic items and...

I've ran this once and I'd like to run it again with 4E. In our campaign FoF had many memorable moments and especially the topmost floor was great fun. We didn't really have any problems with the adventure. My player's wizard infiltrated the Forge through the chimney invisibly and opened the...

Asmodeus! Lord of this world! or Iä iä Dagon! You sexy fish!

I got TPK and capture too My players didn't fare too well either, they constantly got beaten up by the kobolds in the ambush encounters. In the inner cave they managed to kill Irontooth, the skirmishers and some minions but the dragonshields and the priest cut them down. I made the priest...

The wight and the angel were already in DoD rpg side scans. Still, thanks!

Doesn't Book of Exalted Deeds have ~tons of prestige classes and items that give continous protection from evil and magic circle against evil? At least lantern archon (celestial familiar) gives continous magic circle against evil, and you can get it at 7th level (costs one feat). Also Celestial...

Valar's Book of Erotic Fantasy handles all these things. I also has cool STDs. My favourite is azure balls.

By RAW you can only spend half of your starting money on one item.

I, for one, welcome our new petunia overlords.
