    Races of Stone... and more!

    it's better than the "Complete So-and-So's Handbook" books from 2nd edition. i do miss the covers of the old days from 1st edition. who can forget the cover to the original AD&D DM's Guide? or the cover to the Fiend Folio. the new covers have a nice theme, but nothing to look at.

    Different base stats for skills.

    Perform should be based on CHA. You can be a great guitarist, but terrible to watch. I've seen plenty of those. Storytelling is by and large about the storyteller's presence. Personality is a huge factor in what makes a great performance, whether it be music, dance, or song. The more charismatic...

    Please bring back Plots & Places Forum (merged)

    i will reiterate what i said in another post about this same subject: the thread topics that used to go into Plots & Places were slow moving and understandably so. that was the nature of the threads there, they developed with alot more thought, and over more time, than most threads. the...

    Has anyone ever played "themself" in a game of any sort?

    we did that with a Werewolf campaign, where we played ourselves, and eventually found out we were werewolves. it was kind of fun for a while, but i found that i didn't like it mostly because i didn't like the game Werewolf. i don't think it was the story or the fact we played ourselves, as the...

    The Seven Tombs of Bokobok In the early days after the Sarcon War, amongst the chaos of refugees, famine, and plague, things that were once important became trivial. Adventure gave way to survival, purpose to tedium, and worship to aversion. The gods were nothing more than unreliable and...

    what happened to the Plots and Places Forum???

    that's a shame. now they'll all get lost with threads like "babes of gencon socal 2003". i didn't actually read the announcement because it had the heading "new moderator" and i didn't really think that would have any of the reorg info. sorry.

    The Godsbridge If one were to travel beyond the windswept Tolen River valley, onto and across the Oro Plateau, they would come to the foot of the bilious Greystorm Mountains. One would see the blackened clouds which hang above the world like a charred blanket, and the reddish glow that is cast...

    What's up with Amazon?

    try using priceowl.com to look for books. it searches a bunch of web book sellers, including amazon. you can tell who has what in stock, and how much $$, and what shipping costs and all that. i use it to get all my rpg books.

    Arcana Unearthed or 3.5 PH???

    Arcana Unearthed. It's something different for D&D, and that's good. 3.5 isn't anything special, and as people said, the important changes are in the SRD. Not that I'd be quick to adopt any of 3.5's 'improvements'.

    Hunters' Moon Hollow I move amongst the pillars of wood silently, swiftly. Up the ridge I ascend, to overlook the blanket of leaf that covers my home. Here is where I have lived for generations. My brothers have lived and died before my eyes, and I mourn them all, not yet born or already...

    The Silver Ring Scattered across the countryside, in forests and glens, hidden valleys and concealed grottos, lie the Pools of Lyr, goddess of the moon. Delicate magicks swirl in their waters, kept fresh by the druids and rangers that are privy to their secrets. The Silver Ring is both the name...
