    Swashbuckling, pirate campaign -- please help

    The new version of the Dread Pirate in Complete Adventurer is a significant improvement over the original in both style and execution. It and the Freeport Pirate are different enough to incorporate both into a campaign. They really flesh out two very different pirate concepts (three actually...

    One question, re ENWorld's new "Figurines" product...

    I've got to say, this product looks like a lot of fun. I just recently rediscovered my love for Figurines of Wondrous Power and am fighting manfuly to resist the impulse to bury my PCs under a shower of funny little animal sculptures. Morrow

    Swashbuckling, pirate campaign -- please help

    Howdy. I don't have most of the resources that would allow me to actually answer your questions, but I see know reason to let that stop me. I just started a swashbuckling pirate game (story hour is here) and we're having a great time. I've also got a behind the scenes thread. There isn't...

    Vote: What are the Best 1st ed AD&D Adventures

    I know that it is counter to the accepted "the oldest stuff is the best" wisdom, but I've always had a soft spot for Ravager of Time. Forcing the suddenly horribly aged PCs to stumble around the swamp battling monsters and evil copies of their younger selves just appeals to some cruel heartless...

    Leadership - Followers

    In the 3.0 DMG followers gained from the Leadership feat were restricted to a few NPC classes. That restriction seems to have been removed in the 3.5 DMG. Has the rule been moved or can followers now have PC classes? Thanks. Morrow

    New adventure path: Age of Worms

    Nah, the Kelek action figure is the same guy as the Kelek from Quest for the Heartstone and Shady Dragon Inn. You know, depending on the gaming group it would either be incredibly cool or earth-shatteringly dumb to run Quest for the Heartstone for 3.5 on a bigger grid, using the old action...

    Behind the Scenes at Swashbuckling in Freeport

    Kenku Gang While I like Finn's syndicate, the criminal organization that operates out of the Eastern District in Freeport, I was never really inspired by the other minor criminal gangs mentioned in the Freeport: City of Adventure hardback. As a replacement, and in order to emphasize the...

    Throwing People

    Yep, it was called Great Throw. It was actually left out of OA, it was mentioned in a couple places but doesn't appear in the feats chapter. It is in the errata. GREAT THROW [GENERAL] You can throw your opponents to the ground, choosing where they land and dealing damage in the process...

    Protection from Undead

    The spell I was thinking of isn't in Libris Mortis, or any of the outer sources I checked. Back to the drawing board. The player suggested that the sanctuary idea might be more balanced if it was made into a magic item like a magical powder that you spread in a protective circle. The...

    Take the Creature Competition Challenge!

    As most of you know, the winner of the WotC Creature Competion will appear in an online adventure. Pity the fifteen other goofy monsters who will be 'voted off the island' and denied fame and immortality across the internet. In the spirit of fairness and in hopes of getting some good adventure...

    Protection from Undead

    Glad you like it. It's pretty fun. I can't take credit, though. The player worked this one out on her own. The cleric's god is all about fairness and treating everyone equally, including the undead. This cleric has decided that he is going to found a temple in Freeport to minister to the...
