    This site.

    I signed up for this place a long long time ago. I’ve been wanting to get back into d&d recently and decided to drop in and see what’s new. This the front page that greeted me on my phone. Thats like … 15% non-ad content? I don’t think I’m coming back.

    DMG Screen Monster Knowledge Paste-in

    Why did I keep typing DMG screen? That'll teach me to post during my rushed lunch break.

    DMG Screen Monster Knowledge Paste-in

    I stumbled across this file while cleaning up some directories on my computer today; it's a print-out of a sheet I made pasted onto my DMG screen. I don't have the screen in front of me, but I believe I replaced one of the XP charts (not so useful in mid-combat) with a list of the monster...

    Gamescience Dice?

    Try this URL: www.gamescience.com -  Opaque Role-Playing Dice I just bought the last colors I didn't have through that link shortly after posting they were in stock yesterday, so it's bound to work. If it still gives trouble, their store is actually hosted through Amazon. Do a search on there...

    Minis: Stand Ups Vs Counters

    Thanks for pointing those out to me. I usually prefer traditional art as opposed to sprites on my standees though. I will admit to using a blue slime from DragonQuest as a D&D blue slime on a lark, which was hilarious since the blue slime ended up being one of the most hazardous/terrifying...

    Minis: Stand Ups Vs Counters

    I use stand-ups versus counters because they're easier to grab, and they stand out across the table. I use custom fold-up figures glued to pennies for the base. I scanned a cardboard heroes sheet and erased all the figures so I would have a blank grid to paste pictures into. I copy and paste...

    Power Attack still sucks

    I made a spreadsheet quite some time ago. Disclaimer - I'm not sure if the math is right or not, but I think it is. I did this back in August during a boring afternoon. I seem to recall making it take into account critical hits as well as automatic hits and misses. (God that math is ugly in the...

    Nentir Vale Player's map

    Somebody posted a high-res version of the Nentir Vale map from the DMG, so I pulled out my trusty clone tool and made a Player's version which removes Raven Roost, KotS, Kobold Hall, Sword Barrows and the Temple of Yellow Skulls. http://tonytoon.home.insightbb.com/KOTS_PMAP.jpg I also have the...

    Brp?

    I'll second my love of the skill advancement system in BRP. It's just so clever. The BRP book basically contains "the core rules" for BRP, and then a huge pile of optional systems culled from the back catalog of BRP games that have been published through the decades. I haven't gotten to dig...

    What to you do for attributes

    We use the default array. All the players feel it's a fair enough spread, and it's pretty close to how they were going to distribute points anyways.

    Really stupid question about powers

    Weapon damage die. So 2[W] on a longsword would be 2D8.

    Shifty and Double Moves

    That's what I suspected, thanks.

    Shifty and Double Moves

    So page 284 of the PHB specifies that if you take two move actions in the same round, you have to double-move, which means both move actions have to be the same type. How does this work with the kobold ability "shifty" which lets them shift as a minor action? Could a kobold move action to get...

    Mystery/Detective in DnD

    Steve Jackson Games has a GURPS Mysteries they released in PDF and softcover. http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/books/mysteries/ It has an entire chapter dedicated to low-tech mysteries. You don't need GURPS to use it, there's not much crunch in it.

    So My DMG is Falling Apart Three Days After I Got it...

    I handle ordering for a college library, and I have to say that it seems to be policy for shops to send replacement books right away and charge us for the second copy if the original isn't returned within say, 30 days. Amazon in fact did precisely this on a recent order, so I'm surprised they...

    The fighter and the paladin pretty well ganged up on the knight & stole his stuff

    I like this. Of course, I'd like to see the Paladin become a talent tree or prestige class for the fighter. I've been in favor of few base classes which are very flexible.

    [Expedition to Castle Ravenloft] Player's Map

    So I've taken the GM's map for barovia from EtCR, cleared out the location markers and overlaid a hex grid to create a player's map handout for next session. The question is, should the players even have a map of Barovia? I imagine it'd make things easier for while they're exploring the place...
