    Timeline - any reviews?

    Timeline I was so disappointed by the movie. Seriously, it was pretty freakin awful. The book, however, is just awesome. In adapting the book to the movie, as what happens much too often, they butchered the story and you really don't get as good a "feel" for it as you do from the book. So if...

    Groups with more than 4 PCs - I'm New

    I've run large 3E games before, especially my Jr and Sr year in High school (I'm a Soph. in college now). Back then, I had 8 players, and things could get really bogged down and troublesome if you weren't prepared with a few tricks. 1. Make sure the PCs all get along. It's up to you to decide...

    Gnomes' niche in the D&D world

    LOL BiggusGeekus. Yeah, I could just drop them, but I'd like to see if I can gather some ideas to get them to fit. My PCs aren't necessarily gnome lovers, but they have had interactions with them, and having them suddenly disappear, get stricken by a mysterious plague, or otherwise get targeted...

    Just out of curiosity - 3.0, 3.5, or something in between.

    3.0 or 3.5 or somethin in between On the whole of things, I use 3.0. I've never had a problem with it and it DEFINITELY doesn't make sense to pay 60+ bucks for three new books simply because some people couldn't be creative in their games. I haven't read much about the 3.5 but from what i...

    Gnomes' niche in the D&D world

    Hello all. I haven't been on here in QUITE some time since I've been busy at college. It is good to be back, however, and I'll be visiting more frequently (I hope!) That said, I've recently run into a snag while fleshing out my campaign world: where do Gnomes fit in? The race itself doesn't...

    PCs in jail

    There's an interesting way to solve this, and it is both the fantasy thing to do and a fair thing to do. If the pc's didn't commit the crime but have been accused of it, turn it into an adventure! Have the court, judge, marshall, whatever, give the PC's the opportunity to solve the mystery...

    Most memorable moments?

    Had to be there moments I was playing Vampire with a bunch of guys at my college and I had never played before, so they told me they'd help me out. You know, roll this to do that, etc. But they never really told me any background on the game other than "you're a vampire" So I make a Brujah punk...

    Quick question about a whip

    It says in the PHB (104) that a whip counts as a projectile weapon range 15 feet with no range penalties. Now, here's the dilemma. Does that mean you could take Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Rapid Shot, Shot on the Run? And does that mean you can take the Deflect Arrows feat to block it? It...

    What are your feelings on combat mats?

    On Mats Maraxle- on mine, wet erase markers work quite well. Just make sure to not let them sit too long. SO if you need that mark on the map, erase it every so often and re-apply it. On that note, I also like mats. I think it provides a good strategic visualization of the battle. I completely...

    [OT] Favorite Band?

    Favorite band Well, I'd hafta say my current favorite band is my friend's band, As Rain Falls. They play in the Worcester area, so if any of you ever get the chance, check them out. They're SOOOO good and I'm not just saying that to promote them. They really are good. Here's their website link...

    [OT] Sad news, help me mourn...

    I never got to speak with Peter but as I can see from this thread, he was a very wonderful guy. It is a pity I did not have the chance to speak with him. My thoughts and prayers go with you and your unborn child during this grievous time of mourning. With sympathy, Strider

    Inteligent Weapons in your campaigns ?

    We once had an ioun stone that called itself "The Admiral". It could do several things but the most memorable was its magic missile ability. Whenever battle was underway, the stone would yell "Fire away!" and would cast magic missile. It sang sailors songs and would randomly say "Ar matey". It...

    (OT) Native American heritage. HELP!!

    Hey I talked to a friend of mine who's Cherokee and he says hes pretty sure that pin is only given to those with Native American Heritage. He also said to look online and see if there was a chapter nearby. So I did, and I came across the American Indian Movement site where they have a chapter in...

    (OT) Native American heritage. HELP!!

    Hey, recently I was informed that my mothers grandfather (i guess that makes him my great grandfather) was Iroquois. The only thing we have to go on is a medal we found amongst his things. Its an eagle holding a sign that says "Iroquois" and it has a tomahawk and an Indian head. On the back is...

    Where can I get a map of a cairn?

    If you're looking for burial mounds/cairns/barrows, you might want to go to your library and check out some books on Vikings..I distinctly recall picking up a book about Vikings for a project and seeing a sketch of what their burial mound looks like on the inside.

    Shillelagh and quarterstaffs

    I would think it would enchant both ends since the description says (and this is not a direct quote as i do not have the PHB handy) it enchants a quarterstaff or club. It does not say it enchants one end only.
