    Ultima Underworld rune magic system?

    Long ago, there was a computer game called Ultima Underworld. In it, to cast spells, you combined runes found on stones. Different combinations of runes allowed different spells. Anyone know if anyone has done something like this for d20?

    [waxing philosophical] senseless violence

    While your aspirations are noble, you're trying to go against human (animal) nature. A majority of our lesuire activities are based on conflict. From chess to football, from video games to RPGs, from playing cards to watching films to reading, conflict plays a part. Stories, in order to be...

    Grandpa, what were the outer planes like?

    You can regulate the speed, including stopping to pick out details. This is one of the coolest things I've seen on the 'net, and I've been on it since before the WWW ;)

    Social Contracts?

    My Rules Here is my "Rules and Policies Document" I give to new players. In order to create a better role-playing environment for all of us, I have decided to enforce the following rules: (DISCLAIMER – These rules may have a harsh tone because they were written when we had a “problem” player...

    Music in your sessions 2!

    I TRY to use music in my games... See, problem is, I played with a DM long ago (you out there, Pete?) who was a MASTER with music. He spent most of his music time listening to soundtracks. He had a downright uncanny knack for syncronizing the events in the game to creshendos in the music (of...

    Looking for some ideas for Plane of Shadow

    Yes, as a matter of fact, the "Shadow Ranger" is going to guide them by skirting through tangent points with other planes, sort of like "Shadow Walking" from the Amber series. There will be a force that is trying to steer them into bad places (one of the BBEGs). I already plan to have them enter...

    Don't quite understand this :(

    If it says strength is important for Barbarians, then put your highest roll in strength. Skills are separate from Ability Scores. You have a maximum number of ranks you can put in to any one skill - 3+ your level (4, then, at 1st level). I can't imagine trying to learn D&D from the Player's...

    Help Our DM has gone Rat Bastard on us

    Just tell the DM that there were no Grimloks or Barbarians in OD&D. That way, he'll just disappear... ;)

    Monster List by HD

    Someone probably has a database or a spreadsheet of the SRD monsters. Search for that, and you should be able to sort it.

    Looking for some ideas for Plane of Shadow

    Oh, my :uhoh: Actually, where they are now is a tavern called the Black Lantern, where the crowd contains a beholder, a mind flayer, a couple of demons, along with a number of other "travellers" to the plane. So the language thing (despite the joke) is not really what I'm looking for ;)

    Complete Arcane: Too Much Wu-Jen?!?

    I would be a little picky about certain spells. If they seemed like they should just belong to a Druid, I wouldn't let an arcane caster have them. But I would decide on a case-by-case basis.

    Looking for some ideas for Plane of Shadow

    I have a group of 7th level characters on the Plane of Shadow. They are being led by a "Shadow Ranger" (my creation) to a city called Ebon, where they can find a way to return to their plane and to a particular physical location on that plane. What I am looking for is some cool encounters to...
