The developers have later stated that the product actually made a profit. Many people think "didn't do well" means it was a loss or financial disaster. In reality, it was just a slow burn that never blew up the way Baldur's Gate did. I think this is partly why some Planescape fans are a bit...

To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the Planescape: Torment video game, I'm giving away 3 free copies on the 12th (well 2 on the 12th, 1 on the 13th for latecomers). It's just to raise a little visibility for Platter's Planescape pages, a fan site made by Platter years ago, and then rescued...

I still do morale rolls. They're very easy. I play 3.5 edition D&D, which has Will saves. I use those. At the point in combat where I'm pretty sure it's gone all wrong for the bad guys, with little/no chance of turning the odds, I give the bad guys a Will save (DC = average level of PCs +...

I was thinking that the goblin would worship the usual goblin god (Mantulybucket or whatever his name is). However, I cannot find any text about that god in the core books, nor in the complete series. I'm open, a little bit. I would want the goblin to worship an evil god, and one that isn't...

He was only stripped of magic items. I don't think a holy symbol would light up under a Detect Magic spell, nor would a spell component pouch. Right? They're not magical, or at least I've always assumed they are not....

Hi all. I had a fun, unexpected thing happen at my last game -- a goblin spellcaster surrendered to the PCs, and they took him into their party. Now I need to stat him up, and I'd love to see any creative ideas the good people of En World might have. All I know is that he's unarmored --...

Thanks for the responses, guys. I'll try to answer the questions. Yep. They are the heralds of an evil creature awakening deep in the ziggurat. Their goal is to be harbingers of doom, although in this case they may be as bad as the doom itself. They do in fact go off in random fashion, at...

Hey gang. My players have blown off a module (DCC #23, Sunken Ziggurat) 3 times, and now I need to figure out a plausible result. We're mostly just making stuff up, so feel free to throw out ideas. I'll give you 2 paragraphs of background info to go on. Background The module was placed in...

I don't want to say for sure, I only heard it from my DM. Never confirmed it. But I believe my DM was referring to this guy: Stephen Lea Sheppard He played the character who had all the 1st edition AD&D books. EDIT: Ah! Here, I found him on rpg.net: RPGnet Forums So maybe he made his...

I was pretty sure that I saw a copy of the Monster Manual or DMG in the original theater edition of E.T. However, I may be confusing my memories with the TV show Freaks & Geeks, which featured the books prominently. Also, one of the actors from that show used to frequent this forum quite a bit...?

You're doing it wrong.

This: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-3rd-edition-rules/125646-underwater-spellcasting.html ...has lots of magic items to enable casting under water. And this: http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-3rd-edition-rules/3643-underwater-casting.html ...has an interesting discussion of whether gills...

You can still do something close to what you want, although it relies on invocations instead of the eldritch blast. It's just a different feat. The description of the warlock states that his invocations can benefit "from feats that emulate metamagic effects for spell-like abilities, such as...

drvavylis, my book has "Point Blank Shot" for the starting package feat. Where do you see "Rapid Shot" as part of a starting package? Can you give me a page number (and book name, in case you're looking at something other than Complete Arcane)? You can't do two standard actions in a round...

You know how some gods have functional temples (temples that do more than "temple" -- such as Fharlanghn's roadside temples which may serve as inns)? I need to find the god of libraries, the god whose temples are filled with books. I had assumed -- having run through the Freeport trilogy years...

My players did something similar. They committed treason, killing lots of guards and trying to overthrow the leader of a town. In ye olden days, the penalty for treason was often being ransomed back to those who sent the agent in the first place. Then the ransom money could be used to...

This is why I cannot DM the free module, One Last Riddle. The premise is that a ghost wants revenge on his enemies, and asks the PCs for help. The problem? The module stats out the ghost and his enemies -- the ghost is CR 12, the enemy is a level 8 kobold sorcerer. There is no good reason...

You can't force people to accept such a player, either. To me, it sounds like a great reason to kick someone out. It's their game, they ought to dump anyone who won't get on board. For me, I go the opposite way. I often get players who want to act things out too much, or who use voices, or...

Yeah, it rarely works even in games where the players like role playing. For many people, writing is work, even if it is coupled with role play. I have found that carrots work well, though. Send an email to the group in between sessions. In that email ask for information about each...

Yes, this. I like this. That old school essay up on lulu.com talks about how in the good old days, players would have to describe what they were doing and then the DM would make up a game mechanic for it. I really liked that, and remember doing exactly that as a kid. However, I play 3.5...
