    What's wrong with splitting the party?

    Splitting the party is rarely entertaining for everyone involved. i'll give you a prime example: Back when 3.0 was still the paragon of new D&D, i had a Game Master (bastard) who was running his own thing (pilfering liberally from every old 2nd edition setting). At one point, we had a single...

    101 curses

    I'm more fond of mixed blessing curses. Curse of the Miser: You cannot part with any money unless it is ABSOLUTELY VITAL to your survival, and even then you have to make a will save to do it (DC = amount of coinage spent (in the largest denomination that the cost can be expressed in, rounded...

    Familiars - Advantage or Disadvantage?

    Frankly, the reason the paladin looses less from loosing his mount, is that so few Game Masters think to include the mount in the first place. I mean, 4 out of 5 of my game masters have either disallowed the paladin's horse (halfheartedly attempting to replace it with a useless home brewed...

    Wait, if Miko dies, then That reduces the number of people that Belkar could cause the death of. If she falls from paladin-status that ALSO reduces his possible future. let me consult the all-seeing oracle... ahh, #331. Miko, Miko's horse, Roy, Varrsuvius, or the Oracle Since they left the...

    Reserve Feats are Wonderful!!

    Hmm... there's a sticking point, there are also a lot of people who prefer the Complete Adventurer, though when you come right down to it, both are excellent books.

    I love my alignment system

    Well, it's no more byzantine or grossly overcomplicated than my current khitbash of an alignment system. I actually use a hybridization of Classic D&D, d20 modern, and Etherscope to produce an alignment / personality / responsibility web that promotes healthy roleplaying. In the end I wind up...

    XP progression: too fast, too slow, or just right?

    I had one DM who gave out 1/10th standard Experience. I wouldn't have minded as much, but he started us at 10th level, and at the rate of EXP we were earning, it would take us a year to make 11th. complicating matters, he also gave out "extra" exp in amounts greater than the amount he gave for...

    July 07: Monster Manual V, Maps of Adventure

    Hate to tell you: but complete mage is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from complete arcane. It has more in common with PHB II than the original complete series. Lots of options available, new "reserve" feats. And book of the nine swords opened up another whole new option for melee-focused players...

    Techniques for spicing up aventures! By: Everyone?!

    Sure, here's the list I'm currently working with. As I use a encounter, i remove it, and think of a new one. it's kind of short right now... and that's it right now... I've used others like "animal skin nailed to a tree" and "open sinkhole with a stream flowing at the bottom of it" in the...

    Techniques for spicing up aventures! By: Everyone?!

    nonviolent events that test their skills Early in my campaign, i started up a list of little unusual things that the players could encounter pretty well anywhere. My first one was "A wagon, long abandoned, and half-buried in the mud." The players spent half an hour exploring it... seriously...
