    DM Burnout or DM Frustration With His Players?

    I would say to drop the journal. It was originally requested by the players, you stipulated that they would need to put forth the effort to maintain it. If they aren't doing that, then they have decided that it is not worth the effort involved to maintain it. If down the road they start...

    Do two different Resist Energies Stack?

    So far the opinions are that most people would allow them to both be in effect, which is how I would rule if I was running. Although that does raise the question of how people would handle other spells with multiple versions. Would you allow someone to have both the warm and cold versions of...

    Do two different Resist Energies Stack?

    This came up in our regular game this week. I play a Duskblade with Resist Energy as one of his 1st level spells. When we were talking though our daily preparations, the GM mentioned that I couldn't put two Resist Energies of different types on the same target. I had never thought about it...

    Do you see Circle of Death used much?

    Raise Dead (and Reincarnate) won't help, since Circle of Death still has the "Death" descriptor and as a result is a "Death Effect". Resurrection works just fine, but it also works on Finger of Death and Disintegrate, as well as most of the other "Save or Die" effects (as long as remains of...

    Defending - Melee Weapon Special Ability

    But you aren't transfering the bonus away from the weapon, the ability just allows you to utilize the bonus in a non-standard way. The enhancement bonus on shields increase the hardness and hp of the item in the exact same way as a weapon's enhancement bonus. Notice the word "allocate". That...

    Do You Subscribe to Magazine(s) &/or Pay Website(s)?

    Not to pick on anyone in particular, but I find it funny that several people with Community Sponsor status are claiming that they don't subscribe to pay sites. CS status isn't just charity, you are paying for access to restricted site features for a limited period of time. Sounds an awful lot...

    Very, very sad university news

    Latest news reports are 31 dead, making it the worst mass shooting in US history. My wife works just off campus at a daycare center, and I have a lot of friends who are either students or faculty at VT. I know my wife and kids are fine, and I'm still waiting to hear about everyone else (fingers...

    A way to balance the greataxe with the greatsword

    This pattern extends regardless of the damage bonuses too. Once you factor in the crit chances and multipliers, you end up added 1.1 x damage bonus to the average damaage of either weapon, so the difference stays consistantly at 0.55 points in favor of the greatsword. Having said that, I'm...

    Darkwalkers: The Evil Within

    I received a copy of Darkwalkers: The Evil Within as a free review copy, and I wasn't quite sure what to expect going in. The primary purpose of the book is to provide advice, mechanics, and support for players who wish to play evil characters, either in The Hunt: Rise of Evil campaign setting...

    Con Adventures

    I actually have a easel pad of 1" grid Post-It notes, plus a fair selection of Dwarven Forge that doesn't get used enough, and a fair amount of WorldWorks stuff that I've built. I tend to go back to my trusty battle-mat most of the time for speed and convenience. Thanks for the advice everyone...

    Con Adventures

    Aha! I knew I had seen someone with a mention of convention games in their sig, but I couldn't remember who! I just joined you group Varianor. :) Sounds like I'll be doing some adventure writing. I had considered running an updated version of Keep on the Borderlands to go with the con theme...

    Con Adventures

    I'm looking at running a few sessions at an upcoming convention and was wondering if anyone knew of any good sources for D&D adventures for a 4 hour time slot (non-RPGA)? Most of the pre-published adventures I know of take much longer than 4 hours to play, and I'd rather not have to create...

    DM's: How do you deal with powergamers?

    One thing to remember about Rope Trick is that you don't want to take anything like a Bag of Holding or Heward's Handy Haversack into it. Putting an extra-dimensional space in an extra-dimensional space is a "bad thing"(tm). This tends to really limit the use of Rope Trick in my games, since...

    Anyone else having trouble getting the files?

    I picked up the subscription last week, before the players guide came out. When the players guide was released, I tried the link in the e-mail and received a message saying "Product was already downloaded the allowed maximum times or has expired". I was able to go into my RPGNow account and...
