Recently -- by which I mean over the last year and a bit -- I have been replaying the Baldur's Gate series of computer games, specifically the Enhanced Editions. I played the originals back in whenever it was, developing a protagonist and party of comrades through BG1, Tales of the Sword Coast...

Not only does this beauty look like it belongs in the MM, it had teeth running all the way from its throat to its stomach. Anyone else feel a stat block coming on?

I know that many classic modules have been converted to 3e but I think there are still quite a few out there that are worth the effort. I've never found conversions of Dwellers of the Forbidden City, The Forgotten Temple of Tharizdun or Rahasia, for example. Last year, I converted The Hidden...

I found these guys yesterday and thought that they might find the attention they craved if I introduced them to people over here.

It's always bugged me a little that one of my favourite modules wasn't converted for my favourite system, so I've done what I can to rectify that. To celebrate the launch of 5th Edition, please find your 3.5/Pathfinder compatible conversion right here. I mean, it's never too late, right? I...

I have just uploaded C1: The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan to the downloads area. I have drawn upon the efforts of others in writing this conversion and I would like to acknowledge them. I found that what really amounted to a re-imagining (as opposed to a strict conversion) of the module had been...

Let's say the party finds a note written in Abyssal. None of the party knows the language but - no problem - somebody casts comprehend languages and the note can be read. The question is: does the party know the language is Abyssal? From a strict reading of the spell description, the answer has...

Now I don't take much issue with this but I post the link because I suspect others may be interested. JRR Tolkien's Nobel prize chances dashed by 'poor prose' | Books | guardian.co.uk The comments below the article are worth a read, too, I think.

I was chatting with a colleague the other day about his D&D playing experience. He used to play when he was in his teens and was thinking about joining a game I'm about to start running for friends at work. His story involved a session in which the players simply didn't want to go in the...

Am I broken? Are mods mocking me for taking nine years to become a community supporter? Or have I joined an elite cadre of supporters++? I ask, because I've noticed that, when I post, the words 'COMMUNITY SUPPORTER' appear beneath my name not once, but twice. I'm all for - belatedly -...

I'm brewing a new campaign and a couple of other threads in this forum have got me thinking. Despite preparing a list of house rules to deal with problematic spells (for which I'm grateful to Dannyalcatraz, Empirate and Celebrim, among others), I'm not that happy with wizards being able to...

Last night, I dug out my old four-part Greyhawk maps from Dungeon (issues 118-121). It sites various Greyhawk modules have appeared over the years. However, despite the associated issues of Dungeon having a map legend, I can't find an index locating all the dungeons. I'm curious but I am also...

It appears that dwarves are smaller than we thought.

When a paladin smites evil, he adds his Cha bonus to the hit roll. Do creatures with the celestial or fiendish templates that smite good and evil respectively also apply Cha bonuses to hit? Thanks for your help.

Can a wizard cast a spell directly from a spellbook, treating the spell as though it were on a scroll; ie can he cast the spell even if it hasn't been prepared, at the cost of having the spell disappear from the spellbook as a result?

Not a good day for WotC getting its facts straight. In this article, the writer (whose name is misspelt in the byline) claims: "The 1974 "Blue Box" edition of D&D came with a full set of (badly made) polyhedral dice." The "Blue Box" edition or basic set wasn't released until 1977 and the...

Just an excerpt I wanted to share from a campaign diary being kept, in-character, by one of the players in the game I'm in. It's taken from the climax of yesterday's session. The party Jinx elf assassin Niriel elf (sometimes avariel) wizard Roth formerly human, now axiomatic...

Told you. :cool:
