    Jonathan Strange and Dr. Norrell

    I finished just the book. Both in flavor and historical setting, its pretty far removed from the standard fanasty genre that inspires much of D&D. Nonetheless, it was a fasinating book with an intriguing take on the nature and practice of magic. The material on the realms of Faerie was also...

    Prestige Classes: Too much of a good thing?

    With the release of Complete Adventure, I'm beginning to wonder if D&D is becoming oversaturated with an ever rising tide of new Prestige classes (WotC or others). The sheer number of PrCs creates issues of game balance and power creep. At least to my eyes, they seem to be getting over-powered...

    If you could have created D&D before Gygax..

    Although D&D was created some thirty years ago, many of the core concepts of the game, for instance alignment and “Vancian” magic, have endured virtually unchanged and remain central to D&D in its current form. For the sake of discussion, pretend you could go back in time and become the...

    Age of Imperialism d20

    I'm toying with the idea of running a campaign inspired by the Age of Imperialism. Nations similiar to historical Europe would vie for influence over a newly discovered continent filled with ancient ruins, mythical beasts and savage tribes. Think d20 "Arcanum" (the PC game). Questions: Is...

    Micro-sized Campaign Worlds

    In my years of playing D&D, I've made the following observations: 1. Most campaigns seem to last only a year to a year and a half. Either groups fall part due to waning interest or the intrusion of real life (new jobs, babies, etc.) or DMs and/or players grow weary of a particular campaign and...

    D&D deserves a better XP system

    The standard D&D XP system works something like this. DM: "OK, last week while exploring the Crypt of Gorm Doomhammer, the party set off three traps, blundered into two ambushes and concocted a boneheaded battle plan that nearly got everyone slaughtered...but you did manage to kill six fiendish...
