    1st to 20th with same character

    We've just reached 21st level in a campaign that started at 1st with free modules from the WotC site, into Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, through Dragon Mountain, and, lastly, to Return to the Tomb of Horrors. On Sunday, we begin an epic version of Day of Al'Akbar. Through all of...

    Deadly Traps/Tomb of Horrors

    Dungeonscape actually has some decent rules for high level traps. It's also got new "encounter traps" but, since my players went out of their way to avoid the ones I made for Return to the Tomb of Horrors, I don't know yet how well those really play...

    Have you ever refused to come back from the dead?

    My LE necromancer realized just how evil he had become (he'd been planing to murder his cohort just to gain a little influence with the goddess of murder just before he died), so he refused to come back when the party used true resurrection, choosing instead the punishments of Dis.

    What books would you like to see WOTC do

    I would buy a book in... ...the environment series on swamps. ...the heroes series on running realms. ...the monster series on constructs. ...the monster series on fey. I would also buy campaign hardbacks for Birthright, Greyhawk, and Planescape (though I know these will never be available).

    Help me roleplay a "3" Wisdom

    As close as I can get to a 3 Wisdom would be Gir from Invader Zim. In addition to his constantly medling in things, asking "What's this do? What's that do?", and getting rid of important GPS parts to make room for the cupcake, we also figure he's a high priest of Tharizdun from how obsessed he...

    Ever had a player in your group throw a tantrum or worse? Most uncomfortable moment?

    One of the fellows I game with (and have since the early '90s) got it into his head one time that since he had a 2nd level character, nothing that I'd throw at him would be above CR 2. Well, he found his way into the background of the adventure by ignoring major points and picking at the small...

    Orcus "Last Word"

    If you absolutely must have a PC equivalent, try the unname spell (Tome of Magic 260).

    What other class features reduce metamagic levels?

    Dead Babies It's not a class feature, but the Slaymate from Libris Mortis allows any creature within 10 feet to prepare metamagic-enhanced necromancy spells as if they took up a spell slot one level less that what the metamagic-enhanced spell would normally require.

    Replacement PCs: what level?

    My group always brings in new PCs (whether new player or old) at 1 level below the party average. So, Bob's new character would be 6th level in our campaigns.

    What gameworld would you want to be in?

    I'd choose Aebrynis, the world of TSR's Birthright campaign. I'd probably want to be a Brecht necromancer regent with a single province, plus Law, Guild, and Source holdings.

    Return to the Tomb of Horrors - your experiences?

    Back in 2e when I ran this adventure right after it came out we had six guys with three characters each, any level and any class. Of the eighteen characters that went into the boxed set only two came out at the end. Only Castle Amber has ever killed more characters in all my 21 years at the...

    Which classic adventure would you like to see republished next?

    Brandy and Apple Strudel forever, baby! I voted for the Slave Lords series, because I've run them so many times, but I have to ask, "Where's the love for Castle Frickin' Amber?!"

    Necromancers of the World Unite!

    Yes, that's exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for. Thanks. But what exacty is a Zulkir of Necromancy? I've never done the whole FR thing, so is he a ruler of some country like Greyhawk's Vecna was before Kas betrayed him? Just a sentance or two is all I need, like you'd use to convince...
