    Looking to join a game in Pittsburgh!

    Gaming Clubs in the Pittsburgh Area Anyhow, the ones I know about. Phantom of the Attic in Oakland has an RPGA club. I've gamed with them and have only had good experiences. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/potarpga/ There is an RPGA club that games in the Beehive in the Southside...

    System for GI Joe

    Polyhedron #168 (It was attached to Dungeon 109) had a minigame with rules for what was essentially GI Joe, even though they couldn't use the actual name. http://www.pen-paper.net/rpgdb.php?op=showmagazine&magazineid=497 http://paizo.com/dungeon/products/issues/2004/109 I won't vouch for how...

    What do you think of the new Imbued Staff Article in Dragon?

    I guess I'll throw in my 2 cp. I love the article. I agree staves are definitely a wizard thing, and this sort of reminds me of Magisters in AU. I plan on introducing it into my campaign shortly in the form of a tome they'll find as treasure. However my reasoning is that it looks easier...

    What to run for a group of complete beginners?

    There is a dungeon crawl adventure as part of the D&D Basic game, Mini's, characters, maps and all. Burning Plaque worked really well the time I was in the same situation you are. Also, I believe there is a free adventure on Necromancer's Games site called "The Wizard's Amulet" which might...

    Power Attack Woes :(

    I keep it as it was in 3.0. The main fighter is still doing a ton of damage. i don't think it has hurt play too much. I guess in general AC's don't go up as fast as attack bonuses (typically, they kind of plateau out in the mid-20s, don't they?), so I find the power attacking fighter will...

    Looking for Cactus-folk

    There was a free .pdf excerpt from a monster book somewhere that detailed a kind of Cactus-Folk race. I was trying to hunt it down, but I'm not having any luck. Does anyone know what I am talking about and where I can find this .pdf? Thanks a lot.

    Describe your NEXT game session!

    I'm running a 3.5 version of Necropolis. Tonight the characters (Avg party level 11) will meet thier contact in Aartuat, and head out to the Gorge of Osiris, and probably be ambushed by bandits, and probably try and kill "Anubis" (CR 20) instead of negotiating, and he will probably lay into...

    Reduce Person

    Thanks for the reply. That's how I'd played it before, and never thought of the other interpretation until someone else brought it up. The rules were ambiguous enough to encourage me to post here and see what others thought. A result of this interpretation is that if a PC is permanently...

    Reduce Person

    Quick Question, PC has been Reduced. Is new equipment picked up reduced as well? So if they throw their throwing axe (which goes to normal size when thrown) and then pick it up, will it be reduced again, or are they holding a normal sized throwing axe? Evidence for Axe not reducing: Spell...

    Harry Potter d20 -need some help

    There was a sourcebook awhile back called Redhurst Academy of Magic. It was supposedly really good. If I was running a harry potter game I would definitely look into it.

    Dungeon Adevnture Path - anyone play it?

    I'm doing it a little different, but I don't know how its going to work yet since we've only run one session, and I can't seem to get the campaign off the ground. If the characters complete an adventure and they aren't at the minimum level to start the next adventure, I'm allowing the players...

    Ask me about Egyptian Adventures: Hamunaptra

    Necropolis First of all, apologies for mentioning a competing product, but I have some questions. I've just started running Necropolis from Necromancer Games (a 3.0 Egyption Setting mega-adventure for those who don't know). One thing that product has failed at his helping me get that...

    Need help with item hp?

    Okay, you just had an explosion inside a crystal chalice. Forget the acid, if it was taking that much damage from the acid it would have dissolved in the pool when you put it into it (6 points kills a wizard). I'm envisioning a chemical reaction where the acid and water react in an...

    Glyph of Warding

    Thanks for the input. Much appreciated. I'm not sure if putting one on the inside of a door would work, I always envisioned the glyph exploding out and hitting the PC. That, and I'm likely to get lynched by my players for a trick like that. However if it didn't go off going into the room...

    Glyph of Warding

    It's coming up in an adventure and I was looking for some clarifications on how it worked. Okay, so the door is warded. There are no visible symbols or marks on the door. To the untrained eye it is a plain door that when opened goes boom. If a Rogue searches the door for traps and finds it...

    Need Info on the Yuuzhan Vong

    I think there was an issue of Star Wars Gamer that actually had a Vong adventure in it, as well as some general tips. The mag was cancelled, but you may be able to find back issues. I think this was the issue, but I'm not sure. Also, www.swrpgnetwork.com is a good source for SWRPG material.

    Frostburn at DriveThruRPG

    Maybe it's not what we think it is Marketing wise, this makes no sense. If you are releasing something like this and want it to succeed, don't companies typically offer their first products with cool sales and package deals and such? How about this: What if they are testing the security of...
