I just want to add my heartfelt "thanks!" to those folks who've picked up even one issue of the series. "Behind the Spells" has been a great experience and a challenge not only in trying to weave their backstories seamlessly into the D&D canon but coming up with new ways to use these old...

Oh diaglo, I just appreciate you visiting my thread. :D

Indeed. I invite people to flesh out their responses a bit so others can steal from them. ;)

May I asked what you used from Event Horizon? I always thought that movie had such potential at the start before devolving into the gore- and blood-fest that it was. Great premise, bad execution. What I was able to steal was the laughable line, "Where we're going we don't need eyes." Oddly...

No, I'm not talking about actual thievery. Rather, what recent (or maybe not so recent) favorite game moment was inspired by something you saw or read? If gamers have one shared element, it is that we, perhaps unconsciously, mentally wonder how "cool" stimuli would fit into our games. Maybe...

The "Behind the Spells" pdf series continues with that favorite spell of blasting--Lightning Bolt! This series examines those classic spells that are listed time and again on character sheets throughout gaming. These are the spells which, if on your PC’s class list, will be taken as soon as...

I received my True20 bundle on Sat. so I'm a happy camper. :D

Don't much care for the music it's based on but Al makes the song good with his usual zaniness. Thanks much for the link!

I'm going to give this old thread a boot and see if any other comments shake out of it. Oh, and I hope the guards and wards people are happy. ;)

Vengeance is for levels 7 to 9 and should bump up PCs at least one level by the end (my best guess without going back and configuring). Given that Gangs takes place years after the trilogy (if I read the spoiler correctly), you'll need to tweak that adventure's timeline if you decide to run it...

Campaigns I'm DMing are almost always episodic. It's quite fun but don't get too wrapped up in the endgame specifics at the beginning. My most recent campaign is only 6 modules old and there is a recurring enemy which I had never even considered at the start. In fact, it was the PCs' reaction...

**SPOILER ALERT*** Vengeance links to the original trilogy in that Drac is still the bad guy. Even from the grave, he manages to threaten Freeport. He set a plan into motion that would, in the event of his death, leave the city shattered by "bombs". The adventure opens with an...

The "Behind the Spells" pdf series continues with that favorite spell of divination--True Seeing! This series examines those classic spells that are listed time and again on character sheets throughout gaming. These are the spells which, if on your PC’s class list, will be taken as soon as...

I'd also suggest Vengeance but this suggestion should be taken with two caveats. First, I wrote the adventure. Second, I'm not overly familiar with anything besides the original trilogy. :) But yes, as has been stated, Vengeance is a direct follow-up to the originals and seems a good choice...

Very interesting! I'm surprised no one thought of these before.

Given the popularity of True20 and the relatively low cost to operate under the agreement, I'd say it's a very good opportunity for publishers (and the freelancers under them ;)).

Yup. Ordered mine last Sunday and it arrived like 2 or 3 days later. I didn't expect to get one given Necromancer's previous comments but wasn't overly concerned as that one was my second copy. :) Good luck with your order!

I must have sniffed too many cleaning fluids that day. :o

Not so. It may have looked that way (I know myself and Charles Plemmons used OGC) but there was no rule to this effect. Using other publishers' OGC is something I endorse wholeheartedly. As mentioned, why reinvent the wheel? Two of my recent books--Dread Codex and Temporality--utilize a...
