    Any huge sized wolf or worg-like animals?

    I'm trying to find a huge sized animal that is similar to a wolf, dire wolf, worg, etc, etc. Other than the Winter Wolf (Rime Hound), is there any other wolf-like animal that is huge size? I know I can advance creatures to make them huge. So I'm looking for something that is naturally huge sized.

    Any new music/ambience/SFX software out there?

    For years I've been using http://softrope.net/ to play background music and sound FX at my table. It's nice because it allows custom playlists and you can control the volume of each sound independently (which oddly enough no other audio playback program did at the time). Unfortunately it has not...

    Odd request for help: I need a mathematician!

    Hi, I have been working with another gamer to create an Excel based Random Treasure Generator. This is a tool created by a couple of D&D guys that want to use it for their own personal game and provide it for free to the public when we are finished. I hope that by being an Excel file it would...

    I need a human thesaurus.

    This is going to be an odd request, but I need help with a naming convention. I am working on a random generator that will display things like gems, metals, pearls, ivory, shells, & stones within the same category. I would like to give this category a single name to identify it, but I cannot...

    Need help matching Reaper Bones minis to D&D creatures

    I have a lot of Reaper Bones miniatures that I am not quite sure how to use in my D&D game. Some of them have similar D&D creature names but don't really fit the D&D version of that creature (has a different size or looks completely different). I have gone through all of my D&D books trying to...

    Help me price these musical instruments.

    The Song & Silence and the Complete Adventurer books list musical instruments but they do not list their prices. The PHB lists instruments at 5gp each and Masterwork Instruments at 100gp each. This doesn't help much. I'm trying to put a price on these things and the only other source I found...

    Many magic items in official books are not priced. Help me price them?

    I have compiled an index of every single magic item from every single 3e WotC published book (including Dragonlance). It took 2 years to finish, but it is just about done. One thing I noticed is that many items that are not listed as artifacts still do not have a Market Price listed with them...

    If you could make a documentary about D&D, what would you like it to focus on?

    I may have the opportunity to make an 8 minute documentary student film about playing D&D. I'm sure there are several films like this in existence, so I would like to focus it on an aspect about playing the game that might be both unique and interesting. Who better to ask about this than the...

    Planescape fans, help me explain how to use a Mimir!

    So I just gave the group a Mimir in our last game. I've used them a couple of times in past groups, and I think players seem to have a hard time understanding what you can do with it. I'm not sure if they really don't understand, or if they are just trying to exploit the intent of the item...

    I need lots of statue-like creatures, what are they?

    I'm trying to fill a maze with a mix of normal statues of people with a mix of creature "statues". I can think of the Gargoyle, Stone Golem, Animated Object, and Caryatid Column, but what other stone-like creatures exist that I could use for CR 6 group?

    It needs to be more of a sandbox than a railroad?

    This topic came from some thoughts I had based on the thread here. I just didn't want to derail that thread, so I am ranting in my own thread. :p I don't mean to say that either is good or bad. But I've played in plenty of sandbox games to recognize that just because you DM a sandbox game does...

    PCs that are too big for their britches...do they live or die?

    In all the years I have DMed, I don't think I have ever had a BBEG successfully intimidate a PC. I don't mean via the intimidate skill. I just mean that, when a powerful NPC confronts the party, none of them ever show the respect that he deserves. The PCs respond with smart aleck responses and...

    What to do with an army of dwarves?

    This is a first for me as a DM. The party has gathered around 200 dwarves from a dwarven PCs clan. They are now marching through the planes to reach a long lost stronghold (which the PCs previously found). They plan to establish themselves as the new occupants, with the dwarf PC as the possible...

    I summon ye Planescape fans! Share with me your Arcadian knowledge!

    Huh. I guess that spell worked. Welcome to my thread! I'm trying to familiarize myself with Mt. Clangeddin on Arcadia. I understand that there is only one city in the realm and that the city has nine parts to it. The only details I can find about the city is in the Planes of Law 2e PS book. I...

    Help creating a PC cohort that is a spy for the BBEG.

    I have a player that took the Leadership feat. The way I handle it is that he recruits his cohort in-game as he meets various NPCs. When he meets an NPC that he would like as his cohort, I then fully stat-up the cohort and I roleplay the cohort, but he gets the character sheet and he controls...

    Dragonlance steel currency and gold pieces.

    I've never played Dragonlance, but I own the 3e books. I didn't realize that the currency was in steel pieces. I know there is a currency chart in the campaign book that puts gold at one-fortieth of a steel piece. But is it safe to assume that the gold value of items in the core D&D rules is...

    Give me some racial and class ideas for cultists of Vecna!

    I'm building a cult of Vecna that consists of about 8 leaders that each run a smaller sect of their cult. I'm looking for some unique NPC ideas to flesh out these 6 NPCs. I would like something more unique than just a bald human necromancer (or a lich for that matter). Their levels do not...

    DMG & MIC Random Treasure Tables Question

    I'm trying to use the Random Treasure Tables from the MIC to generate a CR 7 treasure. Out of curiosity, I compared the MIC treasure to what I would have rolled if using the DMG treasure tables. The results keep ending up with the MIC treasure being almost always twice as valuable as the DMG...

    Looking for adventure ideas to add to outpost encounters.

    I have a scenario coming up that will involve the PCs scouting out 3 different outposts, killing the "guards" at each outpost, and then making their way to a main encampment where they are supposed to kill off the bad guys there and retrieve any intel they might find. This scenario is a side...
