I have a friend playing a Duskblade. He got Combat Casting at level 2. That gives him a +4 to concentration when casting defensively. So, he cast next to a dire rat, the rat got an AOO, and hit for 4 or 5 points of damage. This causes a concentration check. The whole table of players says...

I have a Pathfinder mini-campaign starting in Santa Clara, CA. It'll begin at 1 PM on Saturday, January 4th, 2014. It goes until 6 PM. It continues like that every other weekend for 5 total games (Jan 18, Feb 1, Feb 15, Mar 1). It's limited seating, so please don't claim a seat unless you really...

I just tried to use the gamer finder to find players for Numenera, but there is no option to select Numenera in the drop-down list of "Games I Enjoy." The site nearbygamers.com already has 8 players on their map, and they're tiny compared to En World. En World should be kicking butt on this...

I am about to DM the module, The Vault of Larin Karr. However, I am also at the same time, in the same game, running The Lost City of Barakus but without the lost city of Barakus. In other words, all the sandbox encounters and characters and towns from LCoB will be dropped into The Vault of...

Hey all. I've just ordered a signed copy of Beasts of Legend (Cheap! Only $11 from Troll & Toad!) as well as a non-signed copy of More Beasts of Legend. These were the two monster books that Gary Gygax wrote for his Lejendary Adventures game, which was published by Troll Lord Games. My...

Stonesky Delve is a short GenCon tournament module, written by Joseph Browning. It was released in 2010. It features one of the most realistic cave exploration/spelunking maps I've ever seen in such a game; it uses both a top-down map as usual, as well as a side-view map to show the elevation...

I'm looking to run a newbie-friendly, 3.5 edition D&D game on Memorial Day, May 28th. I will have pre-made character sheets, so you don't need to know much about the game -- just show and have fun! You don't need to bring anything, although if you have dice that's cool. I run a more...

Does such a day exist? I'm thinking similar in concept to "free RPG day," but in this case, with DMs or GMs running games for newbies?

Oh man, this is so fun. I have to tell you what happened before I get to my request. The group meets monthly for a 7 hour game. We've been playing the Dragonfiend Pact module from Goodman Games (a 3.5 edition game). This is the module that involves the players shrinking in size and fighting...

I have a coworker coming by next weekend to play in a game of D&D 3.5. He has never played any D&D ever. He has asked me to build him a character. We are a 6 person group with all the normal classes covered (rogue, fighter, sorcerer, ranger, cleric, bard). So, I'm thinking it's time to do a Tome...

I have a level 4 sorcerer that I'm making for a short (3 or 4 session) mini-campaign. I have a handful of spells known, but I need more variety. I've decided to buy wands (don't have to be fully charged) or scrolls. Even though I can't cast 3rd level spells yet, I'm happy to get scrolls like...

Although I've dabbled in the past, it looks like I'm about to get into Pathfinder a lot. I will be selecting a character to play every other week, for probably the next 4 years, and I'll probably only be level 13 or 14 when it ends. I need to pick a class that will remain interesting...

Manyjaws requires concentration to maintain it. The PHB lists concentration as a standard action. So while concentrating on Manyjaws, a character could also move, but could not do other attacky things such as cast another spell. Yes? With that in mind, "redirecting jaws is a standard action"...

What spells should NOT be on my list of daily memorized spells, but are instead better relegated to scrolls? I'm thinking utility spells, 6th level or lower, but I'm not sure which ones would get a lot of use. Ideas? What scrolls are in your cleric's equipment list?

My level 11 cleric has an open slot for an extra 6th level spell. It's a D&D 3.5 edition game. I would like to look at spells that are not in the PHB, as I've been doing those for a while already. I have access to the Spell Compendium and the books that came out after it (PHB 2, Complete...

The D&D 3.5 edition Excel-based character generator got stuck over the last few months -- a developer/leader spearheaded a lot of fixes, but sorta disappeared and left the product in a broken state. After waiting a while, the remaining developers have decided to roll back to the released...

I need to find a short module -- something very fun, and which can be completed in about 4 hours. I'd like it to be for levels 6 to 10, somewhere in there. Anyone know of something free that I could download right away? Especially interested in something that you've actually played or DM'd...

My wizard just hit level 6. I had some ideas for the level 6 feat, but they petered out, as I didn't realize some feats had prerequisites that my character is missing. He is a conjuration specialist (Abrupt Jaunt cheese, which I deemed necessary due to my poor stat rolls). His abilities are...

Are they that deadly? I noticed in the Wikipedia page this quote: The ranges discussed there are also substantially greater than anything I've seen in the D&D books. I started looking on youtube.com for anything that might back up such a bold assertion, and found some fun things but nothing...

I have a friend who normally plays a paladin or a good ranger that acts like a paladin. She is in a new campaign with me, and is trying something outside of her comfort zone: she is playing a pure fighter, chaotic neutral. She is upset with the paucity of skill points. I tried to explain...
