Hullo all. I'm going to ask ye olde gaming community for a little feedback here to help me out with something I've been working on. Here's the question: What's wrong with metamagic in 3.5? Metamagic seems to be a brilliant idea that almost no one uses. I rarely see spellcasters in published...

The group I'm running is about halfway through the Shackled City adventure path from Dungeon (or, rather, they will be after this week's session). Two of our players are moving, though, meaning we're losing our half-celestial paladin and our weretiger. That leaves the gold dragon, the...

I played the demo that GoO had at GenCon this year and was very pleased. If the book goes as well as that demo hinted, I'm sure all Song of Ice and Fire fans will be tickled. I'm especially fond of the active defense system, which has actually made me like shields again!

I've used them, both as a player and as a DM. When we played through City of the Spider Queen I played a sorceress with a legendary staff, and currently one of my players has a legendary rapier from the Legendary Weapons book. What some people don't seem to realize is that just because you're...

If you intend to run the path from adventure 3 out, you cannot set it in Sharn. The problem is that one of the adventures, Foundations of Flame, takes place when the volcano underneath Cauldron erupts. Now, unless you want to put a dormant volcano under Sharn and blow up half the city, well, you...

I'm probably going to offend someone with this one (i.e. a fellow writer), but I have to say it anyways. My biggest regret of 2004 is as a DM. I've been running the Shackled City adventure path from Dungeon (which seems to be all I ever talk about anymore, oh well). My biggest regret is running...

Take it from me, they are busy little bees over there at Paizo. Almost every article I've had published by them was a several month process, just because they have so much work and so few people to do that work. You're not being ignored -- they're just human like us. I'm amazed they do as well...

Actually, the Clone Wars book was announced last year and has since been shelved. As Wizards of the Coast stated at GenCon, they will not be publishing the Star Wars RPG until they feel the miniatures game has "gotten off the ground." Whatever that means. It irks me, because I'm pretty sure...

I did some of the writing on the Blue Rose Companion so of course I've gotten to read the core BR book. I think everyone is going to like it, though I obviously can't say anything about it until the game comes out. Steve Kenson is, once again, a brilliant manipulator of the d20 system and I...

I will construct a crude suspension bridge to Venezuela. There, I will assume odd jobs under the name of Mr. Pilkington. But perhaps I've said too much...(props to anyone who gets the reference). I predict that Dragon will be revamped, simplified and made easier to read, and will reemerge as a...

Hey gang, I don't know if this would be any use to you, but I had one of my starship templates get cut out of that preview article I wrote for Dungeon #113, and I just realized I never posted it here. It's pretty short and simple, but it may do ya. And hey, more free material can't hurt...

I'm a little late jumping in on this one, but wouldn't you get tired of a new "core" class every issue just like everyone's getting tired of new prestige classes? Besides, a core class is supposed to be relatively generic, with the prestige classes being more specific. Can you come up with 12...

I actually tend to model the women in my campaign settings on those described in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, which is to say they all put a lot of ranks in Knowledge (everything). .... I kid. WoT joke. It's mostly gender equality for me, though not always obvious on the surface. If...

Hey, I read Dungeon. Try bashin' me! :D

Basically, it means that if your movement rate for some reason is less than 15 ft. per round, then you may not use this feat to move any further than your base movement. So, if your base move is 30, you can move 30, shoot, then use this feat to move an additional 15. If your base move is 10 (if...

The feat, as printed, is actually in error. The errata'd version is as follows: Gun-Fu You have meshed martial arts with gunplay and can perform amazing stunts of dueling with firearms. Prerequisites: Combat Martial Arts, Dodge, Personal Firearms Profiency, Mobility, Shot on the Run...

When I decided to run the Shackled City adventure path from Dungeon, I decided that I would have the players create very different characters in order to offset the very standard dungeon crawl nature of the campaign. So I set down several rules, one of which was that each player must use EITHER...

Wheels within wheels, my friend. If you know the meaning of that expression, that's what political intrigue is. For me, it simply means that there is an element to your campaign that involves the social and political ramifications of your actions. It means that there are architects of...

Man, great thread. Lots of awesome ideas. I'm currently running the Shackled City adventure path from Dungeon, which I'm sure many of you know can potentially be quite lethal. I'm trying to run it as a standard D&D campaign but I've never like the raise dead/resurrection spells. So, I've made...

Any Egyptian vampire mice in the setting?
