Nothing wrong with your update at all, Greppa, especially for a first one. Good job, and keep 'em coming. I like the change in tone from 3rd to 1st person. That way, when Seasong tosses in bits of Academia or Vignettes, they'll stand out more from the narrative. When (if?) the Broken...

Thanks for the input, everyone. I'll let Mr. Hawking know his services will no longer be required at my game. I'm sure he'll be crushed, but hey, progress and all that... :)

I was just looking through the posted 3.5 excerpts on GamingReport.com, and I noticed the Monk doesn't get the Leap of the Clouds ability anymore (the one where the results of your jump check ignore your height). I can't imagine they are eliminating the concept of an acrobatic Monk, so I can...

Here's something to keep in mind if you're running a humans ONLY campaign (As in, no orcs, goblins or etc): Your players will know that humans can be good or humans can be bad, but are not always, irredeemably bad or unassailably good. You can't decide it's OK to break into a house, kill a...

I'd say this round goes to Piratecat....:) To continue the thread; I have never played an evil character (as a player). I have never argued over the finer points of Forgotten Realms hitorical events. I have never gotten wierd about other people using my dice. That's all I got...

Not fiendish in nature, but just as scary in their own way. I think Shomei (and by Shomei I mean Sep...) saw a very likely possiblity of Mostin getting caught up in panic and phobia and adreneline and Gating in some Paragon Pseudonatural Umbral Pit Fiend of Legend which, in the magic-enhancing...

Re: cthulhu Sorry to scoop you, Darth...I was convinced that by the time I finished posting, someone would have already got it up. You know what occurs to me? The perfect media for a sculpture of the pale, flabby, squamous Cthulhu would be silly putty. That way the sculpture could ooze...

Cthulhu is generally big, gooey, enormous, and flabby. It's generally agreed that he had a squis head, bat wings, but more than that it's pretty much the artists' interperetation. Going back to the source, here's stuff I cut-and-pasted out of HP Lovecraft's original Call of Cthulhu story...

Check out Better World Roleplaying's website. They're a group that's been working on using RPGs as teaching aids for a while now (since the inception of the OGL, I think). I haven't poked around there in a while, but it's worth looking at.

I'm not really a fan of mixing-and-matching form spell lists, either. That the druid has a distinct spell list form the bard is important to both flavor and balance. I do like Paladin's feat suggestion, though. Since it only grants one spell, it's not too abusive, and solves the dilemma of...

When I brought my 2 cats home from the pound, the smallest one had a nasty flea infestation. She had been so badly chewed on by the little bloodsuckers that she was dangerously anaemic. We had to give her a flea dip. My wife (then girlfriend) and I wrestled the 5-lb hellcat into the water...

Yeah, I'll second this. Nothing meant to be abusive to the artist in question. Just taking the opportunity to make off-color jokes about prismatic poo...

I would title this piece "Why potions of color spray don't come in a suppository form"... What they don't show us is the conversation going on off-camera, between two Leprechauns; "You know the rules as well as I do, Seamus" "Well, lad, maybe that's a proper rainbow, and maybe it's not, but...

One thing you can do is make the skeletons irrelevent to the actual purpose of the room, but more of a distraction. A 9th level party, especially one with a cleric, will blast through skeletons without blinking an eye. But a 9th level rogue who is surrounded by a frenzy of bony claws might be...

Aw, shucks. Uh...anybody want to buy a crippled pig, cheap?

Well, there's your answer. Buy a pig. Put a strong leash or chain on it. Polymorph it into a troll. When you;re hungry, just slice off a leg. The leg, once removed from the body, reverts back to its' natural form (a nice, fat ham hock), while the pig/troll regenerates it right back. Repeat...

So far, we've only "officially" seen the revised Bull's Strength. I wonder if the other ability score buffs will be changed in the same way? Personally, I would rather all the ability buffs be kept consistent, but they DID argue that the half-orc's ability mods were balanced because strength is...

A player did that in a game I ran once. They were playing out a historical battle in a kind of dream-sequence/flashback. They were fighting a nigh-epic great wyrm black dragon with sorcerer levels, and losing (they were a mixed bag of heroes, circa 15th level). The bard, with a Legend Lore...

Yup. you could do worse than the GURPS discworld books. And considering that this is primarily a D&D/ d20 site, and you've got a handful of recommendations for a GURPS book, that says something... It is one of the better novel-to-game translations out there, I think. It does a fantastic job...
