I own the rulebooks and have played several times but never GMed. Much more so than D&D, Amber games NEED a good, experienced GM who is skilled at "winging it". I have been in a very enjoyable game which involved nearly 20 players :eek: - and in a boring game with only 6. Also, Amber is...

Dungeon yes, Dragon not yet. As a subscriber, I'm slowly getting used to receiving my Dungeon and Dragon issues about 2 weeks after they hit the FLGS. I guess the annoyance factor is due to two reasons: 1) It's sitting right there in front of me on the shelf at the FLGS but if I buy it I'll be...

There is a slight "package" discount if you subscribe to both with the same invoice (I just did so, re-upped Dragon for 3 years and Dungeon for 1 year, and got $4 off the total).

Yeah, names like "Spirit Wolf" are generally an indication that the speaker belongs to the Wanabe tribe ("wanna-be" ;) ). Look at real names from history - Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Afraid of Beavers ... Although sometimes you do get a New-Age sounding name, it's the exception not the rule...

ENVY!!!! Seriously, though, just keep in mind that compared to "standard" D&D, Prydain is a fairly low-magic world. You don't see everyone and his brother running around with +1 flaming swords; essentially, ALL magic items are one-of-a-kind Artifacts. And how do you pronounce Fflewddur Flam...

Somebody's been watching Miyazaki's Spirited Away ... http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1808405164&cf=pg&photoid=443694&intl=us

Well, considering they've continued to go on and on about it for a page and a half, I think that's a definite yes. :\

Enhancement cost doesn't change with size - making a Tiny weapon Flaming costs just as much as making a Colossal weapon Flaming. Masterwork cost stays the same regardless of size, per the DMG p223. The base cost does go up for larger weapons: per the PHB, Small and Medium weapons cost the...

The problem with that is, total invisibility only gives a 50% miss chance. So your blurry, displaced wizard is harder to see than one who is completely invisible? Doesn't make sense to me.

To quote from the Expanded Psionics Handbook: "Half-giants typically stand from 7 feet to nearly 8 feet tall and weight from 250 to 400 pounds." "The physical stature of half-giants lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger." So no, it's more than just "stronger...

1) Entirely nameless. The Ghostwalker's power comes from his mystique - he keeps popping up, killing a few minions, and then vanishing again, and pretty soon the survivors are asking "Who is this guy?". The fact that they don't know who he is, where he comes from, what he can do, or why he's...

Hmm. The original has: must multi-class with some other class (the ninja's "cover"); attacks as per the "other" class but skills/saves/etc. as per thief; some acrobat abilities (tightrope walk, pole vault, escape, slow fall), and three Ki powers (1rst lvl, Hold Breath; 5th lvl, Walk on Water...

Yep, me too. I've still got the button and the little certificate someplace. I think that this was the source of the whole shebang. (Since I don't know Mr. Trampier personally, and am having to guess at most of this, take it with a big whopping handful of salt...) It's obvious that Trampier...

Seconding Virgil's recommendation - this is an important first step for any campaign. You're biting off an awfully big hunk here - first time as a DM, and you're not only making your own campaign world, you're doing it online. If you can pull it off, that's great, but don't be discouraged if...

There doesn't seem to be an official 3.5 OA update per se. Complete Divine has an updated Shugenja and a "Spirit Shaman" class that I like better than the OA Shaman. Complete Warrior has an updated Bear Warrior, Samurai, Ronin, Tattooed Monk, Drunken Master, and a Kensai class that is rather...

Eyup. Not so much "oversized" as "identical in appearance to a male's". Telling the two hyena genders apart is extremely difficult, even for trained scientists, unless the female is pregnant or nursing, or the individual is tranked and examined up close and personal. Furthermore, the females...

Well, it looks Celtic, so it's probably pronounced "geln" - all the other letters being silent, you see. ;) Seriously, though, I've always pronounced it "GAY-lee ee-LAD-drin", but that's probably wrong, since I also tend towards "FEAR-ray" for the firre eladrin, and apparently the official...

Well, I read a couple of books recently by H. Turtletaub (sp?), _The Wine-Dark Sea_ and _The Gryphon's Skull_, which do a pretty good job of conveying the "feel" of Bronze Age Greece. We're trying for something vaguely Grecian in our current campaign, though the players are mostly junior high...

OK, you inspired me to pick up a stylus again for the first time in two years. I couldn't find reference for either the stance or the armor, so I gave him a stance I've seen in classic paintings, and generic lacquered armor (haramaki-do, sune-ate, and sode, no helmet). Done in Painter 7...

I've been thinking of trying to convert the old Night of the Seven Swords adventure for OA to 3.5 rules. I liked the seven weapon masters. 1) Has anybody done this before? If so, any advice? 2) If not, anyone interested in having me post what I come up with? Can I even legally do so?
