    What's wrong with current high-level mega-modules

    I'm going to have to come down on Psion's side. I like Ragnar's ideas, but how to incorporate them? Playing devil's advocate.... * play important roles in a major war --- what war? Do I have to introduce a war into the campaign now? * get caught up in court intrigue --- that's a lot...

    Quest for JUSTICE!

    They could: - Clear the name of a man accused of a crime he did not commit. - Convince a bandit lord that he should turn himself him (or just bump the guy off) - Loggers are chopping down huge chunks of forest. Their ancestors signed a no-chopping agreement with the happy forest people a...

    Help! Most boring 3.5 campaign yet!

    I think barsoomcore is 100% right. I'd also like to add "unless he's paying you $75/hour, you're not this guy's shrink". But hey, if this is what you want to do, then its what you want to do. Go back to the basics. Orcs invade. Orcs are great monsters. Give the nasty ones a few levels of...

    Looking for low complexity fantasy magic system

    I've heard lots of good things about Big Eyes, Small Mouth. It's an anime game, but I've heard it translates well into "regular" gaming.

    Quick! Character advice

    If you're using Defenders of the Faith check out that feat that lets the cleric cast healing spells at range. Since you're going to be bouncing around all over the place, she'll need it to keep up with you.

    Here's to the rain after a long dry spell

    When in doubt, go back to the basics. Nothing says 1st level like a simple cave of kobolds that have been harassing "the village". And toss in a couple of traps that are obvious to the players so the rogue can get the hang of disarming stuff. If you depend on Spot checks the character might...

    Needed: Good Monster Books!

    Indeed, the Monsternomicon just won awards a-go-go.

    AU - first impressions?

    Good point. The non-casting classes would be fine. [B] Really? Bad assumption on my part then. Why'd he do it, if I may ask?

    AU - first impressions?

    As for balanced compared to D&D, I'd have to give a bit of pause. All the AU classes have a 10% experience penalty to level gain compared to D&D classes. So your Mage Blade is going to be gaining levels slower than a fighter/sorceror. But ultimately, I don't think that AU is perfectly...

    Help me come up with a name for this thing!

    "hong"? Barring that, how about "rabid"?

    swearing

    Not much call for it, in general. "Creation's Blight" "Prophet's Stones" are the two in-game swears I encourage. The former is used by druidical types and the second is used by less-devout members of the Church of Light. As for the more traditional four-letter Ango-Saxon words ... **** 'em.

    Composing a Soundtrack for a game

    I'm not asking for specific songs, I'm asking how you'd do it in a meta sense. I'm guessing that people would want something they could just leave on, but at the same time cue up to certain tracks (e.g. the battle music). Yes? No? Both? How would you compose a D&D soundtrack?

    WotC setting search winner - Eberron

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: WotC setting search winner - Eberron Yeah, he time-traveled too. But the Land of the Lost was his distant future, not the distant past of the humans. I remember a kind of cool love-hate relationship. Enoch liked having someone intelligent to talk to, but he hated the...

    AU - first impressions?

    A compelling argument. I'll still be picking the book up when it gets to my FLGS. But it does seem that moving bits of AU to 3.5 won't be "plug and play". Bit of a pity there. However, I'm confidient that AU is balanced within its own context.

    AU - first impressions?

    And a feat. It also costs a feat. Not to mention a save on the spell. So 2 0-level spell slots, 20gp, and a feat. And all for puny damage. Puny damage? Biggus, havee you finaly flipped? Nope. 10'. That's 4 "squares". At first level you're likely to be facing opponents with 4-6 hp...

    How did you talk your players into switching to 3.5?

    I gave them the link to the SRD and all was good.

    In-game age...

    Recently, my DM "power up'ed" the campaign. We went from 8th level to 15th. The idea was that 20 years had passed. This was no big deal for most people, but I looked my DM in the eye and said "you realize I'm playing a half-orc don't you?" I actually kind of like it. The character is a...

    AU - first impressions?

    On the flip side you get to just look at something to watch it explode (fireball) and you'll never have to worry about being captured ever again (dimension door). ... assuming those spells are in the game, I won't be getting my book until Aug 1.
