I signed up for this place a long long time ago. I’ve been wanting to get back into d&d recently and decided to drop in and see what’s new. This the front page that greeted me on my phone. Thats like … 15% non-ad content? I don’t think I’m coming back.

I stumbled across this file while cleaning up some directories on my computer today; it's a print-out of a sheet I made pasted onto my DMG screen. I don't have the screen in front of me, but I believe I replaced one of the XP charts (not so useful in mid-combat) with a list of the monster...

Somebody posted a high-res version of the Nentir Vale map from the DMG, so I pulled out my trusty clone tool and made a Player's version which removes Raven Roost, KotS, Kobold Hall, Sword Barrows and the Temple of Yellow Skulls. http://tonytoon.home.insightbb.com/KOTS_PMAP.jpg I also have the...

So page 284 of the PHB specifies that if you take two move actions in the same round, you have to double-move, which means both move actions have to be the same type. How does this work with the kobold ability "shifty" which lets them shift as a minor action? Could a kobold move action to get...

So I've taken the GM's map for barovia from EtCR, cleared out the location markers and overlaid a hex grid to create a player's map handout for next session. The question is, should the players even have a map of Barovia? I imagine it'd make things easier for while they're exploring the place...

Can a single handle animal check in combat command multiple animals? I would guess yes, assuming they're all of the same type. This could actually become a problem, if you didn't want all the animals to do the same trick. Has this been addressed before in a more official manner?

I'm warming up for my Expedition to Castle Ravenloft campaign this summer, and I am working on converting all of the tactical maps in the book into Dundjinni maps I can print out. I've come across a peculiar question while doing this. What would buildings in Barovia likely be made of? Would...

After a session of D&D tonight, I made the foolish mistake of stating how it'd be neat to have a D&D campaign where you can only use the new core classes from the splatbooks (Ninja, Warlock, Samurai, etc.). Everybody else agreed that that'd be very neat and I should have it ready in two weeks...

For my undead D&D campaign (Not featuring undead, it simply continues to rise from the dead every few months at my players' insistence) I plan on picking up the Spell Compendium. The problem with this is the huge amount of new spells any clerics will automatically have access to, while Wizards...

I just recently discovered a player in my campaign had been keeping his HHH in another HHH. I immediately told him he couldn't do that any more because he'd suffer total protonic inversion or whatever, but he pointed out that the only mention in the rules involves bags of holding in portable...

It never fails, any time a D&D campaign I'm in includes at least one of the little folks (Halflings, Gnomes) they end up using another PC as a mount. I know this has to be a stupidly common enough occurence that rules exist somewhere for it. Anybody have any ideas?

I've been picking up several old modules for D&D and AD&D with the possibility of running them perhaps with Castles & Crusades. One thing I've noticed, is the large number of PCs many of these modules recommend. Expedition to the Barrier Peaks recommends 10-15 PCs, although it says you can make...

This is a stupid question. Can you recharge wands? I seem to remember that being possible, but can't find it in the rules. In my old age, I fear I've probably intermixed my memory of CRPGs with PnP RPGs. Any comments?

How do you folks handle random wilderness encounters? While I would usually shy away from random encounters, I use them in the wilderness to discourage endlessly wandering to and from town every time a character loses a hit point or two. According to the RAW, you roll a % chance (usually...

I grabbed me a copy of Keep on the Borderlands for a few bucks at the local used book shop, and was wondering if it was complete or not. I've got the pink cover with the blue map, a 28-page inner section which begins with the title page (heroes fighting an owlbear) and ends with an "additional...

Can anybody point me towards a good resource of houses, preferably stocked with goodies (and guards!) for the rogue in my campaign to rob? He's a thief, and I'm not going to deprive him of what he's good at, but I don't want to have it just be a few die rolls and he's either rich or in jail as a...

I recently ordered far more D&D 3.5 books than I needed to get my campaign up and going, and now have the Complete Warrior/Arcane/Divine/Adventurer books. Anyways, are there any prestige classes/feats/abilities in any of those I should beware of getting abused? Would I regret allowing new core...

I've got a few questions I'd like cleared up. In 3.5, I'm a little confused as to how reach and being mounted on a horse works. Unlike 3.0, you are considered to occupy the entire space of your horse now. Does this mean that lances stick out 10' in front of the horse now? If so, when you charge...

Enfin! Reaper has come through. http://www.reapermini.com/fantasy/greens.php Too bad about the Sabretooth sideburns though.

I hope they give giants a larger facing. It's hard to find any good giant miniatures that take up the tiny 5' square they're supposed to occupy nowadays. :p
