    Dungeons & Dragons d20 books on Amazon

    Cool. Although an A-to-Z claim can take up to two weeks to process, sometimes it's a slam dunk. Sometimes, simply filing the A-to-Z claim gets the seller to order a refund right when they get the claim notice in their e-mail. Amazon.com has a really good process to handle failed sales. It can...

    Dungeons & Dragons d20 books on Amazon

    A couple of things to keep in mind. Standard $3.99 shipping from the marketplace ("new and used") takes 2-3 weeks, as the book is shipped USPS Media Mail (aka "book rate"). This is especially important to know if you are ordering textbooks for school from the marketplace. Oh, and "Expedited"...

    Little Known Rules of D&D

    When directing your mount to jump, your Ride check and the mount's Jump check must make the Jump DC. (SRD citation) To get an animal to do one of its tricks it knows, you must make a DC 10 Handle Animal check. Normally not an issue, except in combat when players forget about this. Although...

    Racial insults for humans to toss at non-humans

    I have been thinking about this since reading the Pathfinder's Player's Guide. I want to play a human Chelaxian. Chellaxians are expansionist colonist whose empire has fallen a century ago. Chellaxian treat halflings as second class citizens. I have a character plan where my character will gain...

    Tri-Cities, WA (Richland, Pasco, Kennewick)

    Hey all. I'm looking for a gaming group to join. Currently, I can game Friday nights. I live in Tri Cities, and I'm willing to drive an hour to a good game. So, Yakima, Walla Walla, Hermiston, Pendleton, Othello, and other towns around the Tri City area are OK. I can play any type of...

    Tumbling while flying?

    Using Tumble and Fly reminds me of an old New Mutants comic book sequence where Nightcrawler was teaching Cannonball how to use acrobatics to change his flying direction while flying, since Cannonball had a clumsy maneuverability when flying. I suppose because of that sequence, I never had a...

    Pitch me your ulitmate D&D movie

    To any writer, producer, or anyone involved in the creation of media: I have a request. If you include any non-caucasions (and I certainly encourage that you do, as the movie's setting is D&Dland, not Olde England,) please break The Brotha Rule (as The Matrix has) instead of showcasing it...

    Adventuring within the body of a dead god...

    If you have access to the Dungeon Master's Guide II, this would be a great place for using the Archetypical Locations: Evil Crypt (pg. 50) and Restrictive Tunnels (pg. 55), along with Magical Locations as Treasure (pg. 235) and possibly Magic Events (pg. 109). This will help make the adventure...

    Rogues - what do you do against undead and constructs?

    Load up on holy water. 50 vials or so. They do good damage and they only need a touch attack. For constructs and other noncrittable critters, use alchemist fire and acid. Constructs tend to be immune to magical fire and acid, but normal fire and acid work just fine. Since it also is only a...

    How do you handle rolling for HP?

    I have read about an interesting system that I would like to try sometime. When you level, roll every hit die of your character (with the first hit die set to max). If what you roll (+ CON adjust) is greater than your current hit points, you take what you roll. Otherwise you keep what you have...
