I got mine ordered with no problems earlier today.

STIRGE! Yessssssssss.

D&D reference: Check out the "Get Fuzzy" comic strip for 5/23. The link

I own all of the original CityBooks, and they are among some of the best gaming supplements ever made. They are a must-own for anyone running an urban campaign, or a campaign that spends significant amounts of time in urban environments. I first used them in an urban campaign I ran in the...

I understand that a recent issue of Dungeon contained an article with background info on the Greyhawk city of Alhaster. Can anyone tell me which issue that was? Thanks in advance for your help.

Look to the party members for adventure ideas. The pit fights with wild animals is a good way of drawing in the ranger and the druid. How about a tavern/inn/restaurant that suddenly is doing booming business selling unicorn steaks or some such. If the bard is a performer/entertainer-type bard...

Another idea I forgot to include in my first post: Plan a campaign sort of like the NBC series "Heist" in which the PCs have to commit a number of smaller, preliminary jobs to gather needed items, money, and info for a large, blockbuster-type job at the end of the campaign. The whole campaign...

I ran an urban campaign back in 2E along the same lines using the Complete Ninja Handbook. All of the PCs were members of a ninja clan aligned with a successful merchant clan. The PCs engaged in lots of spying/assassinations/sabotage/arson/theft against rival merchant clans. It was a lot of fun...

We played this adventure a while back, and from what I remember parts of it were frustrating because some of the encounters were set in stone and couldn't be changed. Such as, there was no way the PCs could convince the wood elves to help them or change their attitudes. Also, if your PCs go...

There is no greater D&D thrill than playing a first-level tank and taking out monsters with a single swing of your greatsword.

The best condensed introduction to Eberron I've seen was one of the appendices to the first Eberron-set novel, "City of Towers" by Keith Baker. It's not available online, but it is worth tracking down.

Or to post before I look (thoroughly).

I feel stupid. :o I went home and checked, and indeed there was a fold-out map hiding in the back. I swear that was the first thing I originally looked for, but apparently I critically failed my search check. Yes, I knew about the small maps in the pages of the book itself. I was...

Maps? My copy doesn't have any maps.

You won't find better-looking floorplans of authentic, medieval Europe-style castles than those in the Harn supplements. The maps of the various cities and villages are also very well done. Most are in color and B&W.

I hate to jump into this little discussion so late, so I will do so now only to point out the basic flaw in Warlord Ralts' original statement. He says WoW MMORPG is very successful because it has a large fanbase of World of Warcraft computer game players to draw from. And that an Eberron-based...

Our group is about to go through the module Heart of Nightfang Spire. None of us have ever played it before. I'm serving as the DM. Does anyone who has played it and/or run it have any suggestions? Any problems I should be aware of? Your helpful comments and suggestions will be greatly...

I used the tavern at our latest game night. It really helped to set the mood, especially after all the minis were on it. Worked much better at drawing in the players compared to if I had drawn it on the Battlemat. I'm now trying to find ways to use the other locations in the adventure the PCs...

Chapter XXXIII Date: 225-993 to 229-993 Location: Aboard the Bray Keaven, in jump space between Aleif and Liar's Oath During the course of a number of meetings over the remaining days in jump space, the crew hashes out a tentative plan for dealing with Thulon, the authorities, and their bay...

Glad people are enjoying the story hour. And we passed 20,000 views! Yah! One of the things I've come to love about playing in an e-mail campaign is it allows you to better role-play your character in most situations. You have the time to come up with the perfect response, or at least...
