They apply to all your attacks until your next initiative. Attack of Opportunity or not. http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#combatExpertise

There were so many half-dragon templated humanoids that it became kind of a joke when 3E came out. Maybe somebody at Dragon or the design crew had a ranger with favored enemy: Dragon. Joking aside, that is one of the best ways to give them something to fight with out treasure inflation and...

3.5 Books: UA- Unearth Arcana- good for players and GMs. XPH- Expanded Psionics Book- good for players and GMs, especially in Eberron PGtE- Players Guide to Ebberon- good for players and GMs for Eberron, okay for GMs not doing Eberron (idea mining). 3.0 Books: Manual of the Planes- great...

The original Dark Matter Source book for Alternity. Alternity in general had artwork that was very hit and miss (and mostly miss to me). But the Dark Matter Book was brilliant. the art and faux peices were right on for the mood and the game.

Your torch lights a cave. In an alcove is a oil lamp with an oily black smoke puffing out. The smoke is taking a humanoid shape. Roll for initiative. The woods grow silent. The ground rumbles beneath you. Roll for initiative. An arrow flies through the window. There is a note tied to...

We use the Campaign Setting and Players guide, and of course PHB, DMG, MM. I'm a barebones kinda guy and feel like I need to master the basics of the setting. As a DM I only allow basics and let players lobby for more. Races of Eberron is the only other one I've considered. Also as DM, I...

WWRD pt 3 - broken up because otherwise it was too ugly WWRDD? Here are some observations: The PDF market has changed RPGs. RPGs are facing competition for game type entertainment dollars on many fronts (CRGP, CCG, and other games) Collectible miniature games have changed the game market. the...

WWRD pt 2. Dancey was a bit of an iconoclast. And he had some luck, some vision, some execution when he organized getting 3rd edition out (one of the biggest successes in RPGs in terms of sales and profit). Like him or hate him, he changed the game. I think for the better. So I'm thinking...

#1: The grappeling rules... the source of more rules arguments at tables I've been at. This should just plain be abstracted with non-lethal damage or something that matches the rest of combat. #2: I'd probably ditch some of the lighting rules too, especially magical light/darkness. We just...

Yeah, it isn't Rich, just his proteges: "Time for a big announcement. We're adding another webcomic to the site! Erfworld: The Battle for Gobwin Knob is a brand-new comedic fantasy (or is that fantastic comedy?) story from the skilled hands of author Rob Balder (PartiallyClips) and illustrator...

Can't read... nice translation Orsa... I thought you missed a block but it is just out of order...

Jamis Buck works for 37 signals now... I believe he has no interest in that NPC Generator anymore. You can get more info and find his email and weblog and stuff by googling: "jamis buck 37signals" Unless your email is about ruby on rails, basecamp or some business offer, I doubt you'll...

Played it twice. Completed successfully neither time. I think about 12 x 6-8 hour sessions was what we did. We went until TPK one time, the other time until we tangled with the final battle, but boredom had kicked in. We didn't even care when we lost. I liked the first two parts of the...

I discovered Eric Noah's site before 3E came out, when it was the rumor site. It took years before I posted. But the day Eric posted the beta test info for WOTC, I got my group RPGA memberships (a requirement for this particular playtest) and playtested the Forgotten Realms Handbook (and the...

I'll go for a hat trick Battle of the Bands: http://www.thirdworldgames.com/html/ super fun game where you try to get your band to be the first one to stardom. Dice rolling, some randomness, corny jokes. Takes about 20 minutes start to finish. In fact most of the Smif games from them are...

What to do when heroes won't shut up... Some more from villains to talkative heroes: "Who?" "Shut up! You were not brought upon this world to get it!" "And now, my beloved disciples. The moment of truth... "

Sorry to be pedantic, but Athasian 1/2 dwarves are called Mul or Muls: www.athas.org -E

Looks like the baldur's gate map. Makes me want to load that game up again. I'm not sure I could live with the 2E ruleset again, but I might try anyway. Loved that game. Beregost had some 2E info. But as far as I know 3E, just the FRCS. -E
