    Return to Quag Keep

    This was just posted to the SFWA email list; for D&D fans, the most interesting bit is at the very end. Wonder who the collaborator is? --- *In Memoriam: Andre Norton Andre Norton, 93, author, poet, editor, whose published works span seven decades, died of congestive heart failure in her...

    recommend short stories?

    The Swords against Darkness anthology series is on Gygax's recommended reading list for the DMG; some good stories, and many that are interesting as a glimpse of the state of fantasy at the dawn of D&D. Jessica Salmonson's Amazons anthologies from the same period have a slightly higher hit rate...

    D&D 4E Why 4E?

    At the d20 Licensees seminar at GTS yesterday, Charles Ryan and Ed Stark said: - 3.5 is a highly evolved rules system that's selling extremely well; there's no reason for them to want to change it. - Even once they did want to change it, the development time would be years; 3.0 was planned...

    Update to SRD?

    At the d20 Licensees seminar at GTS, I asked Charles Ryan about d20 Past being added to the MSRD; he said that material would be added in response to specific demands. Andy Smith is indeed the contact person for SRD stuff, so it sounds like dropping him a line and letting him know what you want...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    That's plenty to go on, thanks! What a great title - I can't wait to hunt it down. If it makes you feel better on those occasions when your basement floods and you have to go sump it out, keep it in mind that the stacks therein are a trove of wondrous treasures which will be cherished by future...

    New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

    Behemoth3's minotaur book (Masters and Minions 2) was one of the donations-over-$20 prizes, so you made one of the lists at least, reveal! If there is anyone who gave over $20 and didn't get an email from me, drop me a PM and I'll fix you up with a download (if I haven't already). And, to quote...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Frank, it's good to see you here! Hope you'll continue to grace us with your wisdom. Gary, I wanted to ask you about one of the recommended & inspirational authors in Appendix N of the DMG: Fredrick Brown. You didn't list any specific works by him, and the writing I know of his is either light...

    Suggestion for WotC Site: Iconics

    When I started playtesting monsters for Masters and Minions, I too went to the Wizards site figuring I could get stats for the iconics at any level. After much compiling from the archives and Enemies and Allies, I still wasn't happy with what I had - L5 and L10 versions won't help much when...

    MD-DC-VA Gaming Day: Calling all GMs

    Thanks to Cthulu's Librarian for bringing this Gaming Day to my attention! If you're thinking about running an event but don't want to go to the trouble of writing one up, making six premade characters, drawing a dozen full-color illustration handouts for your players, and making unique...

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    Okay, here's that bump I was promising: A Swamp-full of Stirges (D&D/d20) The Explorer's Guild usually commissions reports on unknown monsters, not famous ones. So why have they posted a reward for new investigations of the stirge, a common nuisance that's been thoroughly described in...

    Caster Level for Spell-Like Abilities?

    Cool, thanks everyone! That's the answer I wanted to hear, since it justifies letting Nat's haz moths take quickened spell-like ability (hold person) as a feat. When the playtesters get whacked as a result, I'll give credit where credit is due ;)

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    Looking for a DM!

    Caster Level for Spell-Like Abilities?

    I'm posting this here since it's more of a design issue than a rules issue, and in hopes of benefitting from the local creature expertise! What is the guideline for assigning caster level to a creature's spell-like abilities? Looking through the SRD, I haven't been able to find any consistent...

    Chicago Gameday X: the awesome aftermath

    I'm posting to this thread kinda late - having a toddler means you get every cold & flu there is - but in case you're checking EN World before heading over to Games Plus, I wanted to post about some of the prizes & stuff Behemoth3 sent out to the Game Day: - Every player in the stirge event...

    Weight of Petrified People

    I had a nice moment in my Porttown campaign where the party fought, in succession, a bunch of solid gold constructs and a basilisk, and came back to the dungeon with a bunch of hired sailors to cart out a bunch of gold and stone bodies! I thought about trying to calculate how many gold pieces...
