The ratios of C/U/R are fixed, so although I don't remember exactly for the entry pack, it sounds right. For an expansion pack it is 4/3/1, so you do much better if you are shooting for uncommons and rares. Also, an odd phenomenon we noticed at my FLGS. Many of the boxes in a single case or...

I've been buying my singles from Colossal Games Their prices on the Dragoneye singles are variable, presumably based on demand rather than supply. I believe those who are complaining that they can't buy just the miniatures they want do need to check some of the aforementioned online stores...

True. I hadn't given him Lesser GoI as part of his repertoire, tho'. Its stationary nature seemed a bit wasteful for a creature that can go ethereal and move through the floor or fly at will. Also, it is verbal, so he would have to have had it up before the Bard was able to ready his action...

Can't. Prot Evil. Can't dispel it - verbal.

It was the first meeting with the big bad. He is a Ghost/Sorcerer 10/Diabolist 8, and I am using the Possession rules from BoVD in lieu of the Malevolence ability. The guy is really hard to get to, being able to jump from body to body, incorporeal, and he has some pretty nasty enchantment...

Great write-up takyris, thanks. I think I have a good way of working the heating of the P-7 into the final battle, which I can't yet expound upon lest my players eavesdrop (hint- bad guy is an Efreet). After which the battle becomes a struggle for the detonator. The heroes can also have some...

For my Urban Arcana game, I need a cool new WMD. Something that mustn't fall into the wrong hands, but not at the melodramatic level of a supergerm or anything like that... Since I have magic at my disposal, I can create things that subtly break various physical laws, such as Boyle's law or...

Here's what I decided to go with, in a note to my players: I like the new DR so much, I'm going to change it a bit. The DMG advises against creating a lot of new materials, so the adventurers don't have a golf bag full of special weapons for all occasions. Trouble is that towards this end...

In my campaign, demons and devils are kind of interchangeable. Anything that comes from the Pit is a Demon, and the Devils are just what we call the fallen Angels and Archangels (basically Pit Fiends), and they rule the Pit. I do use things like Hellcats and Bone Devils and so forth, but I...

Had our first game last week. Went well, DR changes were the big thing we were exposed to, as well as character updates. The enchantress, who got screwed the most by the rule changes - SF, GSF, double extended buffs, haste, conjuration as prohibited school so poof goes Teleport, and a toad...

You also have to be both owner and manager. We've had a couple of FLGS crop up over the years that were opened by gamers who came into some money and always wanted to own a store, but not necessarily do all the work. In both cases, they hired a quasi-manager to do the real work, and the stores...

Just played our first 3.5 game last night... Had to grandfather in a few things for roleplaying consistency - the toad familiar has become important to the plot, so he's got to stay as-is and one character had to trade his one ranger-level's Wild Empathy for Alertness to keep his prestige...

Good to know. Thanks. Anyone want a gently used copy of AU? :D Nah, I'll probably keep it on the shelf for ideas, though I suspect mixing in most elements into an otherwise straight 3.0/3.5 game would be difficult without some nerfing. As I said before, I liked the races, and I might use...

Disappointed. I understand the desire to present this as an "alternate PHB", meaning that you won't need a Players Handbook, but how realistic is that? Just about everyone who buys this will own the PHB anyway. Therefore, the estimated 40-60% of the book dedicated to reprinting SRD core...

If you are independently wealthy, you can afford to fly your favorite gaming buddies down to your private island to game with you. So, how does one get to be one of Peter's favorite gaming buddies? Is there an application I can fill out?

Bummer. So you are saying that the elevation of the river basin stays below 600 ft for 100 miles across? Not that a 100 mile dam is impossible in a fantasy world. Could be quite stunning, actually.

Wow. Thanks to the cool topomap site that Davelozzi hooked me up with, I checked out areas around Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, and Sault Ste. Marie. It doesn't look like you lose more than 3-5 miles of coastline in any of those places. Too bad they don't have Canadian maps, and I wish the...

Fun with Terraforming! I have a desire in my game world, which is based on a far-future North America, to have a large inland sea where the Great Lakes currently are. Basically, I would like to have the majority of the lakes be internavigable with medieval tech-level ships, generating a large...

Order a pizza from one restaurant, a calzone from another. Time it so that the two delivery guys arrive at about the same time. Greet them at the door in a leather "gimp" outfit, and force them at gunpoint to come inside. Watch while they duel to the death in your living room armed with...

How about what would happen if Baba Yaga was one of the participants on Changing Rooms?
