The Dungeon adventure, Is There An Elf In The House?, had a fancy, magical privvy that turned any solid material to stone when dropped in. In a Serenity RPG game, our characters were prisoners in our own ship. I requested to use the bathroom and had to be escorted by one of the guards. While...

+1 on The Dunegeon Master Experience articles. I read issue #246 last night. The article A Few Good Henchmen, also by Chris Perkins, has a ton of interesting NPCs. It's interesting to see the work of some of these guys before they became well-known. The same issue has a letter in the D Mail...

Great timing in this thread, OP! I just started (re)reading my Dragon collection, starting on issue #243 last night! Here's some articles that stood out for me from this issue: - Out of Character: The PC Report Card - An article about assigning XP in the form of a school "grade". I recall...

It seems to me that D&D combat has slowly moved from abstract to concrete, but then waffled back and forth. Actions in combat are now very specific - from the three actions to individual powers in 4e, but we still have abstract things like hit points and AC. I've been reading the Rules...

No Scrooge-like disdain here...more like a wistful "looking back", and learning new things about this hobby's rich history. For example: I had no idea about the awesomeness of the old Judges' Guild stuff. Then again, just like lycanthropy changes alignment, I might suddenly find myself...

Unnecessary Disclaimer: Don’t make this an edition war. Also, don’t take anything I write about herein personally. Thanks! :D I consider myself a pretty modern, up-to-date D&D gamer. I’ve played and DMd from D&D Basic to the current edition (running 4E now), and I love them all! Still some...

1. Silly or joke names. This one burns me up the most. 2. Silly or joke concepts/affectations. For example: a knight character with a happy face helmet. No, not a fearsome, smiling goblin or devil helmet, but the famous, yellow happy face -> :) 3. [Alignment or Ethos] Stupid, or basically...

I wanted to run an Isle of Dread campaign in which I was going to re-envision the famous island using material from Eberron's Xen'drik, Palladium RPG's Yin-Sloth Jungles, and the TV show LOST. I never got do do it, though. I've also mashed together REH's Stygians, FR's the Red Wizards of Thay...

Funny, I was thinking of doing the same thing for my Neverwinter campaign to "fill in the blanks", or so to speak. Can't wait to see the look on the player's faces when they encounter a "slovenly trull" and her "sly pimp" lurking nearby (both wererats, of course) ;)

I really enjoy stealth video games and usually play in that fashion even in shooters, but I seldom play rogues.

1, 5, 7, & 9 for me. I own #6 but I haven't got around to reading it yet. I need to get cracking. +1 on Howard and Lovecraft! Add Burroughs to the list too!

I always thought D&D bandits were a Western trope, since the D&D "world" is pretty much the Wild West with swords and spells. Then again, armed bands of men pillaging the countryside have an overwhelming precense in our history and mythology. Indeed, even standard D&D humanoids (goblinoids...

1e (just the DMG) Mentzer (B, X, & C; "Black Box"; Rules Cyclopedia) 2e 3.5e 4e + Essentials Also: Castles & Crusades Pathfinder RPG I guess I'm "easy" for anything that even smells of D&D :blush:

There's a 2e to 3e conversion document still available: link Personally, though, I'd just build the character from the ground up using the previous character as inspiration. Happy gaming!

I use this , and this. Other items in these product lines are worth taking a look at, and of course, Dungeon Tiles too :)

When the Singularity happens, we will be D&D and D&D will be us.

I don't know about paragon paths, but there's a Legendary Sovereign epic destiny in Martial Power 2

D6 Adventure Locations (bonus: it's free) has a map of a river boat. I re-skinned it as a luxury sea vessel for a Firefly-ish sci-fi game adventure once :)

Welcome to EN World! If you want tons of battle maps for your own D&D adventures, I heartily recommend the Fantastic Locations series of products. Although they were from the previous edition, each product has about three battle maps with themed locations (ruins, cities, etc.) that are totally...

Wow! I have the opposite opinion of the NWCS. I was ready to dismiss this book as soon as I heard of it, but became very interested after seeing the previews on the WotC site. I picked it up at the Neverwinter Game Day, and I'm itching to start a campaign! If anything, the problem is that...
