    Share your favorite Metaplot

    My campaigns usualy feature some sort of mete-plot, often one that takes several campaigns to become apparent. 1) the fall of the Church of the Nine and the Schism Wars: the split in the church was first introduced in my first 3.0 campaing, as the players became aware of how many in the church...

    A request to all the Howard fans

    I just got Bran Mac, but havent had a chance to read it yet (just a skim through) I'd love to see a collection of his Orental stories, the ones written about modern times. I'd also realy like to see a collection of his poems, which are some of my favorets. I'd probably end up buying a Kull...

    Need some new Anime to watch!

    Samurai Champloo : currently showing on AS, so its free to watch. a great series in the tradition of Cowboy Bebop (instead of spaceships and jazz you get samurai and hip-hop) Inu-Yasha : I probably spelled it wrong, but its a good... if very long... series Ruroni Kenshin : long series, but a...

    Warhammer novels?

    I've been a fan of the Black Library novels since '99. I've read most, but not all of them... Trollslayer is a collection of short stories, good ones, and isnt needed to understand the rest of the novels. Skavenslayer - Daemonslayer - Dragonslayer - Beastslayer - Vampireslayer - Giantslayer...

    Implementing House Rules

    Major rules change (like a level AC progression or armor as DR) is only implemented at the start of a campaign. Once the characters have been rolled and the action has started no more large scale rules changes are made. The only exception was when we changed from 3 to 3.5. Small changes...

    Parrying, modifying combat

    I've been using a class based defense progression ever since Conan d20 came out. Its taken me a while to refine the system (and I'm still tweaking it a bit). as it stands now there are 3 defense value progressions Poor: used by primary caster classes Average: used by front line fighter types...

    Best Lightsaber fight in the Star Wars movies?[SPOILERS for episode 3]

    For me the fight between Vader and Obi-Wan at the end or RotS wins out... but thats probably because I've been waiting for that fight ever since my uncle told me that Vader got that way after a fight with Obi-Wan (I probably heard that when i was 8 or 9) Style wise I'd have to say that...

    30th level at 21

    I tend to space my adventures out... "after clearing out the den of giants relative peace falls over the land, you fight the occasional bandit but nothing major happens until one day 5 years later when..." "after 3 weeks trecking across the land you finaly reach the Fortress of Go'har..."...

    Epic Adventurers v. Kobolds?

    its not even worth it to roll at that point. once your past 7th level the only way you can miss a kobold is to roll a natural 1, and your hits will always kill them. have then run through a fortress full of orc barbarians (maybe 3rd or 4th lvl) so that the players dont ge bored.

    Throw out XPs!

    In every game I have ever played the DM has given out XP for good roleplaying as well as killing (in my games I give out less XP for kiiling minions then is usual, XP is given for good RP and creative solutions to combat). I usualy have one or two people up a level, but this rarely lasts more...

    Some Spells for your review...

    my magic system is more of a spell reorganization then a rules rewrite. The spell is supposed to represent a battle of wills between the caster and the target undead, which is why it does not have a set DC.
