Levels as Items: Each class a character takes means he has a new, cool item. So a 1st level fighter would have his really cool family battleaxe, while the 3rd level Rogue would have a magic evil black dagger he found. Now if that rogue took a level in Wizard, he'd have a Magic Evil Black Dagger...

Hey, these are really fun ideas! Going off of the "Spells are Animals" ideas: Spells are gadgets: You spend your "preparation/prayer" time in the morning preparing your gadgets, and only you know the correct buttons to push/cogs to turn/batteries to plug to activate them. Bull's Strength is a...

Wow! Let me just say that it's very, very awesome of you to do these for free! And your art is absolutely astounding! Good show!

I've always wanted to try a campaign in which the players make up the core races. I'm not sure why, but the idea has always just plum tickled my fancy. So I was bored and I typed up this guide to Racecraft. What do you think? Here's a link to the fully-formated mode...

Will the Characters be leading the villagers into battle? Or will they just be part of the fight? I think you could run the battle two ways, depending on the above decision. If the characters are not leading the battle, I wouldn't worry too much about the overall battle and instead concentrate...

Actually, I saw a glimpse of the D&D logo during the commercial as well. Hey, I think it's great to do some advertising for that audience!

So I've been pondering dividing Armor Class Bonus of Armor into AC and DR. I noticed that, in effect, AC went down. It was suggested to me that I give classes a Class Armor Bonus. So this is what I'm pondering (mostly based off of d20 Modern's approach). Magister, Runethane, Witch: 1: +0 2: +1...

I'm thinking of adapting the Armor = Damage Reduction house rule to my campaign... Does anyone know of any good house rules that cover this?

Well, I think that was one of the most successful DM Workshops yet! We had guest appearances by both Piratecat and Eric Noah! And Eric Noah's running an Arcana Unearthed campaign! Just like me! Tee hee! Er, anyways... join us in two weeks for the next DM Workshop! And yes, transcripts will be...

B-b-b-bwah??? Whoa! Piratecat! C'mon, folks! With me, and Piratecat, you can't lose! :p

Hope you guys can make it! And sorry for the late time- I'd start earlier, but I'd have to be absent for about 20 minutes part way through. Although, with Neko_Ali as my new partner, things may change... :cool:

Hey hey! Look at the schedule! DM Workshops, planned in advance? Whaaa? I'd also like to introduce my new partner in crime- er, I mean, Workshops... Neko_Ali! So join us on the 5th for the next workshop!

I'll second that! In fact, I'll raise the ante by saying this stuff is extremely good!

Heh heh heh... too true... :)

While I don't feel prepared to compete in this one (I feel a few more years of DMing experience would help), I, as always, look forward to stealing- er, I mean, reading the ideas of the contestants!

It could be argued that, while a wolf or tiger or ape is a natural creature, a spider the size of a dinner table is an unnatural creature. Just offering an explanation. I think, though, that the whole poison thing is why. I recall an article in Dragon saying why vermin are bad as the "Big Bad...

I used is as inspiration for a quick little side-track adventure, but I didn't run any of the real encounters from the book. I still smile when I think about the looks on the players' faces when I described one Mind Flayer eating another's brain in excrutiatingly gory detail... :D

Hey, a fellow Sculpey fan! That looks good for your first miniature! All I can say is "BAKE IT!" In my first adventure, I made all the miniatures out of Sculpey. But I did not bake them. And when I placed them out on the battlemat, one player would always pick them up and examine them...

In my first game (in 2e), I played a Paladin named Henry. I was walking along the beach, when skeletons popped out of the sand! Now, I had been raised on Jason and the Argonauts. Immediately the Harryhausen skeletons leapt to mind, and I was hooked. Later, Henry found a cave. Now the DM had...

Hello! I'm Tsunami, host of the ever popular "DM Workshop," held at your friendly local EN World Chat Room (#dnd3e). I've been asked by my sponsor thatdarncat to start up a little public relations thread. So here we go! For those not in the know, DM Workshops are bi-weekly discussions in the...
