Going way back to the Red Box, I always wondered if the characters presented on the box cover and others had names. And for me, the iconic fighter will always be ... Borg! Remember him? He was the sample character sheet filled out in the red book. Prepare to be assimilated the old-fashioned way!

I've long toyed with changes to the half-orc. Here's what I will house rule the next time it's my turn to be the DM ... Of course a half-orc would have its typical abilities, as described by the Player's Handbook: +2 Strength, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma. A half-orc's starting Intelligence...

I didn't deface it per say -- I just chopped the devil off of it. I then needed "art" for my blog entry, and scanned in the "revised" cover. With the advertisement behind it, it looked really really strange, so I grabbed the part I cut off and sliced it into strips. I then placed those on my...

That would be me That was me writing the letter of complaint about Dungeon 140's cover. I have no doubt that the Paizo staff replied politely to my letter. They're good guys. Once I get my issue, I'll probably be able to comment more (should there be any need to do so). I posted my original...

How does one go about getting an IQ test anyway? Aren't they super-expensive?

Thanks for the kind words, guys.

Try my adventure in Dungeon 110! It's fun, short and more role-playing than battle heavy. And when battle erupts, there's a mini-scale map right there for you! If it's too heavy on RPing, there are options at the end to add a big-bad to the climax. I'm not sure how much of a "kid" your kid...

I haven't DMed since the early days of 3.5e, but over time I've collected a number of House Rules that I like. When I get a new game going, I'll probably incorporate them. My current group is strictly by the book -- so much so that they think Prestige Classes are weird and useless. I get...

Dragon 157 -- The Buck Rogers issue!

That link is not working. :(

Here is one of my house rules ... 'BUFF' SPELLS: Bull's Strength, Cat's Grace, Owl's Wisdom, Bear's Endurance, Eagle's Splendor and Fox's Cunning are charged spells, in that they do not immediately take effect on the spell's recipient and are activated as a free action by the recipient. Once...

I seem to remember the point of shuriken in D&D 3e is that you can throw several of them at once and they can deliver poison. If you hit multiple times in one turn it triggers the need for multiple saves. ... but then again, I might not be remembering it right!

I always assumed that this mini, made by Reaper Miniatures, was based after Fafhrd: http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2100range/Fafnir_ds

I ran a halfling druid in one lengthy campaign. My favorite part of it was that he had a Deep South (American) accent. Jokes comparing Riding Dogs to NASCAR races were frequent. My current character, a storm god-worshipping cleric from a Polynesian-type island was going to have a Surfer-Dude...

Take a look at Johnn Four's new PDF -- Holiday Essentials! It advises you on how to construct a tailor-made holiday to fit your needs -- whether you construct it as a single encounter, single adventure or whole campaign is up to you. This is more of a background tool, but it also advises you on...

What's so fantastical about killer plants?

I suppose this would be a good time to plug Johnn Four's new PDF -- Holiday Essentials! Check it out, it's pretty neat. Johnn's the author of NPC Essentials, one of the best-selling RPG Pdf's of all-time. http://enworld.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=7673& (Disclaimer: I'm listed as a...

Over at RPGnow, I stumbled on to this: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=3623& -- A Glinda of Oz write-up. Searching for anything Oz-related on RPGnow proves a bit difficult because of a whole bunch of books with the word "Dozen" in the title.

If I may revive this thread... Has your campaign continued to this day? What sort of players (male? female? age?) have you recruited? Have you considered using Fantasy Flight Games' "Grimm d20" for this?

Well, Katanas do have a great crit range... ... sorry I couldn't help myself.
