I GM a Friday night game that starts at 7:30 and I have an hour before the game where I get something to eat. About half my players don't eat before the game, so there's usually a 5 minute break at the first for everyone to make their pizza order. I find I do not like to eat while playing...

I think of Warforged like the Vision from Marvel Comics. The Vision is (or was?) an synthoid (android with human-like parts) that was given the mental imprints of Simon Williams (aka Wonder Man). The Vision can see beyond his set of instructions originally given by Ultron7 and make his own...

As always, the game is a compromise between the GM and player's vision. It's good to set the expectations (no ninjas, no fantabulous magical stuff everywhere, etc.), but if one of your players comes to the table really wanting to play a ninja, its your job to mediate some kind of compromise...

WesternWolf, This is pretty close to what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Well it was a great second season finale for WWTBASH! Congrats to Melody for making it to the final episode. I liked that everyone got closer at the end and was pulling for their friends. I did not like to constant "da-dant" music and clip scenes that we had to wait through to get to the...

I've run DCCs before and I buy the more interesting ones (to me) when they come out. I picked up the $20 box set "Saga of the Dragon Cult" even though I already have DCC #2. It's a $50 value, so it's well worth the price. I ran DCC #2 before, and while it reads really good, it took us too...

Someone mentioned buying WoTC books through the resellers on Amazon.com. I found one (bookoutpost?) that I can get many 3.5 books through, brand new, for about 1/3rd retail. I'll probably do this to finish getting the Eberron books, which you can always use for flavor.

Its B and C for me as well. I don't want to work on a setting, that's too much work and there's plenty of settings already out there and well supported. Settings that are really large and can handle lots of different types of campaigns. It has to be something I can ignore the things I don't...

I just spent the past thirty minutes or flipping through the SRD, looking at similar monsters (Titan, rashaksa) and filling out a character sheet trying to make this work. I'm using Mearl's CR 16 monster as a basis, but knocking off the spell-like abilities (cloudkill anyone?) and focusing on...

That's sort of what I'm asking about with my last question. If I wanted to "disassemble" the 3.5 version, what resource would I look into doing this? Zargon is a wholely unique creature by Moldvay and re-imaged by Mearls, so it wouldn't be like statting up a troglodyte in HeroForge, which is...

We never used minis playing 1ed and I didn't use counters until I found Marvel Super-Heroes basic set. As for determining position in combat, we used graph paper with an 'x' marking the spot for monsters. I missed out on 2nd Ed, so when I started back with 3.5, minis have greatly increased my...

You also have to remember that certain times of the year are really hard to schedule. September is back to school, so for any of your players with kids, or who are teachers, it takes some time to get back in the groove. June and December are always difficult for my wife and I to make...

I've been running a 3.5 conversion of the classic 1st Ed module, B4: The Lost City, for a couple of months now and the players are nearing the final showdown with the big, bad, evil guy Zargon. While the module is aimed at 1st level, I've improved a few things to provide an adequate challenge...

We're four guys and a gal, and we're definately an R rating, as we lost one the person who insisted the group act PC-13. For some reason when we get close to NC-17 we know we're veerying too far away from the game, so we refocus.

:lol: Too true!

That was the first question I had! Steel Wind, you may feel this way, but your players may like "super-hero" play, at least for a little while. It's not a phase of the game that lasts forever, but it might feed something the players don't get in lower-level adventures. I find it interesting...

This is a great idea! I'll be picking them up. How often will they be published?

Last night's show continues to leave me scratching my head about this whole "leadership" quality they keep dinging players on this season. Players are berated for not stepping up, and berated for being too bossy. I think the producers should let this criteria drop as it's nearly impossible to...

Hero Forge will allow you to increase modifiers based on magical items. The latest edition of HF goes all the way up through classes/feats/etc. from PHB2. If you want spells, there's also Spell Forge, which allows you to build most class spell lists. It's a few editions behind though.

I'm getting it for my son for his seventh birthday. He's always taking out my Monster Manuals and DDMs to look at the cool monsters. We were discussing the physiological differences between a flesh golem and a zombie just this weekend. :p
