My personal program of choice is Masterplan. It can do all kinds of little things for you, but the Encyclopedia feature is what is use it for most. I believe there are ways to post it or allow players access to it (and it has a section to write DM only information) but my players have yet to...

I've oly visited Athas briefly, but if your DM is alright with you playing a cleric, I think that's a pretty dynamic and exciting way to reintroduce a god into the world. It doesn't immediately destroy the lore around having no gods, and may not even lead to Pelor's revival (how wonderfully...

I agree with @Obyrn, there are lefty of ticks one -could- pull using readied actions, but I for one am always glad when my PC's don't use them. So as a DM I try to discourage that by not using them myself. If your table is filled with more minmaxers than mine, I can see readied actions to avoid...

While not directly answering your question, there's also the Warden Lvl 2 Utility Erupting Font, which allows you to mark all creatures in a Close Burst 5 when you make a saving throw at the start of your turn. Trit

I've only scratched the surface of what Masterplan can do, but it's fulfilled all my needs and then some. I mainly use the Encyclopedia feature to keep my world, locations, and cast of characters straight. Secondly, I like the plot point builder, which includes combat encounters and skill...

Afternoon, Gents and Ladytypes, Lately in combat my players have been trying to get more creative (something I love) which has led to some conflict between common sense about reality, and rule balance. The best and most recent example was a few sessions ago, in which the players encountered...

Resurrecting this thread to update the small progress I've made on this trap/event. Came up with an action and descriptions for the last two players. The Betrayer "The Betrayer bides his time, waiting for his enemies to be distracted. He then strikes with all his force, disrupting their plans...

Love the style and love that you're sharing them. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks! Trit

Sounds like a very cool idea, and from my inexperienced quick glance, the numbers seem pretty accurate. My primary hesitation in a fight like this is the potential for your group's AOE. Assuming half the party hits one minion a turn (and I think it's safe to assume the Ranger and Sorc will most...

Oh, wanted to add my reasonings behind some of these choices, or the advice I've ignored. Mostly, this is a specific enough encounter that I don't want to paint my players into a corner where they have to guess a very specific chain of events (as much as I love how that plays into the hierarchy...

Alright, I've been a bit busy the last few days, so I haven't been able to write anything down, but thoughts have been bouncing around my head. Here's how I see things structured so far: Players enter the room, finding 9 podiums, most with an orb set in a small holder on top. Some have other...

TokenTool is a great little helper. I've been using it for a while now, and love how easy it is to turn great art into dynamic tokens. The problem I've been having more is for items or backgrounds etc. They keep coming out with white blocks around them. Ah well, back to scouring the interwebs...

Well, found an anvil to use, so the immediate problem is solved, but if anyone still knows how to keep the background translucent when using Photoshop (I've already tried using formats other than jpg) I'd love a few pointers. Trit

Hey guys, Quick question to all those Maptool-savy folks out there. I'm currently building a map that includes a forge, but can't find any tokens/stamps of anvils. Either: -Do you know an easy way to make stamps? I've made some in the past using Photoshop, but they always have a white border...

nogray, this is an amazing list of ideas. It's really exciting to see my ideas kind of taking shape with some sagely help. It's a lot to take in this late at night, but I'm going to look over it and post my edited ideas tomorrow. Thanks a ton. Trit

First, thanks to nogray for correcting my language oversight. That would have been an embarrassing mistake to make at the table. Second, Arctic Wolf, I like all the help you've given me. Here's my updated list of symbols, titles and Devils. A mask - The Pretender - Bel An Iron Cross - The...

Thanks for checking in Arctic Wolf. I'm doing well, how about you? Love the idea for Fierna/Belial, and like the title The Betrayer for Baalzebul. Not keen on the wings, mostly because I'd rather the symbol and the name be more related than the symbol and the Devil... if that makes sense. My...

I mentioned this idea a while ago, and it's been bouncing around my skull for some time, but I'm finally setting down some details. My players will soon be infiltrating/invading a cultists' lair, and I wanted to throw them into a unique death trap in order to gain access to the quarters of the...

The first magic item for the group was discovered last night, and found a way that both worked for the group, and was a little throw back to the old random magic item tables of previous edition. I made a little table for myself to help choose which type, level, and item they found. First the...

That is very exciting and opens up a whole world of possibility. However, it also scares me as my players are becoming very obsessed with rituals and the variety of ways they can be used. Should lead to some interesting sessions! Thanks! Trit
