    German-themed game resources

    I begin to see the problem. ;) Since several posters seem to be German (or at least IN Germany), maybe you can recommend specific interesting regions to focus on? My goal is to have my players think "Oh, we're in some kind of fantasy Germany instead of fantasy England or France". I'm building a...

    German-themed game resources

    I did see that article, but it's mostly names and dates. I was looking for cultural information, maybe 15th-17th century? (Yes, that's not Medieval, I changed my mind a bit.) But I'm really just getting started, so anything that others have found useful would be of interest. This Wikipedia...

    German-themed game resources

    I'm kicking around an idea for a German-themed campaign. Does anyone have any good resources for something like that? I'm thinking of Medieval type stuff, and historical resources. Has anyone else already run a similar game? Thanks!

    Good (card) Suit names?

    Changes needed to make the role model work

    Deciding whether or not a particular class can fill their roll effectively is going to have to wait until we see more info the class abilities. Right now all we know about most of them is what their 3E counterparts do, which I'm sure is going to be radically different in many ways. As for your...

    Magic Item Compendium Errata: Where Is It?

    Still not up. I bet someone made a typo in the filename.

    Underdark Map Generator?

    I've never seen one myself. Programming one is probably relatively easy, at least in comparison to other dungeon generators. Having written neither, I really can't comment beyond that.

    For those having problems with their D&D Insider Account

    Good to hear. Hopefully that will work for other folks having problems too.

    Geomancer build help!

    Yah, that particular combo is pretty odd. You're going to be a poor warrior and a spellcaster with a really odd selection. Consider replacing Bard with a buff-focused Sorcerer or Beguiler and choose the first option from Unearthed Arcana (monk AC, etc). You'll have a good AC from your Wisdom...

    Blow away your cookies and clear your browser cache too. They've changed so much it could be bad data left over from an earlier version.

    What if every level were the same?

    Yup, but it's 1/2 for a good save and 1/3 for a poor one. This is a rule for Fractional BAB and Saves from Unearthed Arcana (and other independent sources).

    Warmage...too weak? (Survivability)

    As a house rule, perhaps they could be allowed to take non-evocation spells with their "learn another evocation spell" ability?

    Why is my internet getting soooooo slow?

    To reiterate my previous post: If this is the speed you're getting when your modem connects, then the problem is with your phone lines or ISP, NOT your computer. Take out your splitter and see what happens if you plug the jack right into the wall. Also, at some point, your phone lines enter the...

    Pimp my Warforged! (Iron Man as 'Forged)

    I saw this post and immediately thought: "Wow, a warforged warlock IS Iron Man!" He can fly, has special senses and can shoot lasers from his hand. Awesome! I like how it turned out. For a different effect, maybe try running it through a sepia filter to give it that steampunky feel.

    trade barberian trap sense for?

    I would say Toughness or Endurance. A weak feat at best.

    Why is my internet getting soooooo slow?

    That's the connection speed that your modem is negotiating? If that's what's being reduced then look to your phone lines and call your ISP. Try plugging in to the jack where your phone lines come into the house (bypassing your internal wiring) and see if you get better speeds. Basically, I think...

    Recommend Win98SE DVD burning software to me...

    ImgBurn http://www.imgburn.com/ It's free and should support 98.

    So, what do you think of Gleemax?

    Slightly OT, but does anyone know of any greasemonkey or Stylish (css) scrips to overload the gleemax site?

    Why do I suck at CivIV?

    I'm not great at CivIV, but I can win and find it fun. What I've noticed is that it really takes a different play style than earlier versions. 1. Keep good diplomatic relations with others. That means TRADE! If you don't keep them happy, they gang up on you. If they're happy, you can get them...
