    Heroic Maps Geomorphs - have you used them?

    I came across the Heroic Maps line over on DriveThruRPG (http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/browse.php?manufacturers_id=5371) and am wondering of anyone has experience with these. The reason I ask is they are listed as 10" squares. How do you go about printing this odd size? I am in the US, and use...

    Dave Duncan's Seventh Sword - need info

    I loved these books, and Im sure they are packed away somewhere in my parents attic somewhere. What I am hoping to find is the color of the seven sword ranks. I know green is the top, since that is what Sonshu was, but I am needing the order of the others. Do you have it?

    Help me find an online game-running aid

    There is an advertiser, I THINK on this site, that has a website to help with running your RPG. It seemed D&D-centric, but maybe not? I think it also mentioned offering a place to put your Wiki for your world... But I cant find it! Oyster, or Crystal...something. Any ideas?

    D&D 3E/3.5 Considering 4e, coming back after a long time away from v3.5

    I bought 4e books when they were first released; as such, I have PHB 1, DM 1, and MM 1. I havent ever actually played 4th ed. Getting slightly tired of v3.5, and wanting something new, I picked my 4th ed books up again, read them, then went to my FLGS to have a chat with the guys and gals...

    I need a good sourcebook on Fey

    I've taken a leave of absense from all RPGs for the last year, but with 4E coming out, I'm getting the urge again. I've decided to take my DM cap off the shelf and give it another go, in the vein of how I introduced some of friends to 3.5 years ago. I'm actually quite excited. I swore after...

    Detect Magic vs Spellcraft

    The SRD/RAW states that you can use Spellcraft to "Identify a spell that’s already in place and in effect. You must be able to see or detect the effects of the spell. No action required. No retry." You can also use Detect Magic to do something similar. My friend, a player in my game, Rules...

    Special Materials cost compared to making the item

    Normally, making magic items saves you money, compared to buying them outright. How does this apply to special materials, such as adamantine? The chart on p. 283 DMG says +15,000 for a suit of heavy adamantine armor. Does this get reduced at all if you make the item yourself? It doesnt say...

    Questions on CRAFT when skinning a dragon

    My players met and killed their first dragon. They are very excited about this, and have set about skinning the dragon in its lair for any and everything even remotely valuable or useful for bragging rights. I decided that to skin the beast (and this is going off the Dragonhide rules on p.283...

    If you use Gemerator, view this (Discussion on Gem Management too!)

    I made a quick Excel spreadsheet to help put together gems from the Gemerator. It also includes a size-determiner (for the actual width of the gem) as well as an Appraise DC calculator. This should be ok to post, I hope, since it does require the product to use. Speaking of Appraise, how do...

    The Paladin of Freedom and paladin-related PrC's

    I've got a player in my game who created a Paladin of Freedom, the Chaotic Good variant from Unearthed Arcana. He has aspirations to join the Prestige Classes Cavalier (from Complete Warrior) and Fists of Raziel (from Book of Exalted Deeds). Both PrC's require Lawful Good (or just "lawful")...

    A conglomeration of alternate skill advancement ideas

    From my perspective as a DM, I've always felt that Skill DC's were too low, and skill bonuses too high (and let's not even touch poison DC's...thats a rant for a different thread!). When plannning dungeons and encounters and the like, I have to get rediculously creative if I have any hope of...

    Serious geekiness regarding Gems and Jewelry

    I am a huge fan of the Buying DC concept of Economy in the Western Magicial Medieval Society book by Expeditious Retreat Press (I hope I got that right--the book isnt in front of me). I am also a fan of cataloguing items and being over-meticulous when researching areas for my game, and in this...

    How do you deal with PCs locating mundane resources?

    I've spent a lot of time developing a chart that helps determine how easy it is for a PC to find a magic item in any given city. I've calculated their level (as an indicator of other's respect for them, as well as their reputation), the size of the town/city, etc that they are in, the type of...

    Winged Elves - Where can I find one?

    I was reading in the DMG II last night at the bookstore, and it talked about players that like to play the same character type over and over... ...and it showed a picture of a winged elf, and said that it was possibly one of these types... ...and I have fond memories of my very first 2nd Ed...

    I need help finding/remembering a Template...(Rich, stay out!)

    I thought I remember reading a template in one of WotC's Monster Manuals, Fiend Folio, Ghostwalk, Sandstorm or Frostburn, Tome of Horrors or ToH2, or maybe Monte Cook's Book of Eldritch Might (these are books I read, so it probably wont be something other than these)-- It is a template where an...

    As a DM, how would you catch...

    ...a PC kidnapper? My druid shapeshifted into an owl, went invisible, and sat on the roof of a wealthy merchant's mansion until the merchant showed herself. Not knowing that the merchant was actually a powerful Psion, but suspecting her of great evil, the druid cast Baleful Polymorph from the...
