The tables are at the end of the thread for those who do not want to read too much. Time travel: it is a topic that captivates the imagination of many. It is also something that really gets messy. If you have ever tangled with the idea in a game, watched a show or read a book that uses time...

"One common," the Watch guard said brusquely without so much as a "welcome" or "please" as you entered the River Quarter. Everyone passing through one of Greyhawk's gates between various parts of the city or entering from the wharf along the river handed the guard a copper common as they passed...

Ever since 5e was released, I have marveled at the simplicity of the game which hearkens back to the good ole days of AD&D. I have also been inspired at how it has retained the concept of player choice in development of character concept to be represented in meaningful ways. As such, it is the...

The question is simple. Do you use feats in your campaign, and do you feel they are mostly necessary, or at least expected by the vast majority of players? My Pathfinder group has agreed to end our PF campaign at the end of the year and start up 5e. I am already heavily involved in 5e via the...

The spells would seem to imply both no and yes. On the one hand it says your statistics are replaced with those of the new form, leading me to believe you lose any of your own spellcasting ability and gain spellcasting of the new form. On the other it mentions that you cannot cast spells if the...

Howdy! :) My name is Theo, and I am the head GM of the San Antonio Power Gamers. We are a group of tabletop RPG gamers who like to get together, hang out, roll dice, kill monsters, and take their stuff. We get together every Monday night and we are looking for one or two like-minded players to...

The Swallowtail Festival begins promptly, as scheduled, on the Autumnal Equinox. The square before the church quickly becomes crowded as locals and travelers arrive, and several merchant tents featuring food, clothes, local crafts, and souvenirs are there to meet them. WELCOMING SPEECHES The...

Post your characters here. All I request is that you keep a copy of your character as he or she appeared upon first attaining each level. So you'll have two blocks to begin. Make a "1st-level start" block then just copy and paste a "1st-level in progress" block. Players Mowgli kinem...

Edit 10-Nov-14: The four primary slots have been filled. Accepting submissions for alternates. I am getting back into the PBP game again. Physical therapy after surgery from my auto accident last year has finally finished out, and I have stabilized my medications. I'm feeling well again and...

I have never used the Tarrasque in my 15+ years of DMing, and I figured it is finally time. This is a brainstorming thread for ideas about my current Eberron campaign. In this thread which was partly related, I talked a bit about what has been going on in my campaign, if you care to read it...

Demodands were introduced to 3rd edition in the 3rd Edition/not-quite-but-almost-3.5 Fiend Folio. Eberron came out shortly thereafter, and although the Eberron Campaign Setting listed the planar homes of a number of outsiders, including some from the Fiend Folio, demodands were not on the list...

Some of you may be familiar with Dungeons & Dragons Online, the MMO produced by the Turbine Inc. game studio. In my latest blog, I discuss a bit of recent history on DDO (and Lord of the Rings Online) and give my impressions of the reasons for why Turbine has yet another round of layoffs. Below...

Sorry to drop off for a while there guys. On top of the holidays and not having as much internet access, I recently came down with pneumonia. I will get around to catching up with my games when I am feeling better. Just wanted to leave a note here to let you know I'm alive and around, just not...

https://goblinworks.com/experience.html The design is pretty cool so far. I am kind of looking forward to this game. I have a terrible DDO habit at the moment and even play a little NW when DDO is down for an update or looking for something a little different. I like the look and style, as it...

I am currently running Pathfinder campaign set in the Eberron Campaign Setting. We meet weekly on Monday nights from 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm. My group currently has a spot for one new player, as one of our current players is likely to be leaving us very soon. The campaign is a new chapter in a...

Chapter 1: Burnt Offerings It has only been a couple of days since you left Magnimar for the town of Sandpoint. You signed on with the caravan of one Aldern Foxglove, old money from Magnimar and from all looks and appearances, quite an important fellow. Your meeting with him was brief. He...

I've seen a number of different methods of using battle maps in play-by-post games and other games that do not necessarily take place in real time. One option I've seen used fairly frequently is a publicly accessible Google Docs spreadsheet, allowing players to make modifications on their turn...

I've been thinking of getting back into the PBP world and running a PF campaign using one of the classic PF adventure paths. I have: -Rise of the Runelords -Curse of the Crimson Throne -Second Darkness -Legacy of Fire -Council of Thieves -Kingmaker So if you are interested in joining a new PBP...

I apologize if this post is considered inappropriate for the forums, so please delete it if it is, but I am posting with full faith that this is not a violation of forum rules because these adventures were provided freely to all RPGA members who requested them. Being a member of the RPGA did not...

Let's say I have a kobold warrior 1 and I want to advance him to warrior 2. Kobold warriors have a base CR of 1/4. Does the advanced kobold warrior 2 now have a CR of 1/3? Or would it jump to 1/2, or possibly 1? I am having difficulty finding solid rules on this. Another example: Let's say I...
