I'm statting out a druid for this weekend, and trying to decide whether or not to take Track. I'm leaning towards not taking it, for two reasons: 1. My animal companion, a wolf, has Track, the scent special quality and the Track trick (from handle animal). This means I can tell him to track by...

My gaming group is looking for one or two more players, and I've had good luck meeting folks through these forums in the past. :) There are four of us at the moment, and we generally play every Saturday night. We meet in the vicinity of SLC, and you wouldn't have to commit to playing every...

In a recent post in his LiveJournal, Mike Mearls put forward Stross's Law of RPG Setting Design: "A setting element should never require more than two paragraphs to explain it in full." There's an explanation in his post (linked above), and I think it's a neat idea. I liked it so much that I...

I posted a question this morning on Treasure Tables, my weblog for GMs: how did you learn to GM? My rambling answer is there, in the post ("How Did You Learn to GM?") -- and I'd love to hear how EN Worlders answer this question, here on EN World, over on TT (no account needed to post a...

I had this same plate in Michigan, and I finally got it here in Utah as well. I'm pretty excited about it, so I thought I'd share. ;)

After much anticipation, I finally got to pick up Green Ronin's Advanced GM's Guide last night, and it's quite good. :) Recent threads on the DMG II and the Advanced series (which includes Bestiary and Player's Guide) got me excited about it -- but I haven't seen a thread yet just on the AGMG...

If you're going to this year's GenCon, what new products -- things premiering there (or at Origins) are you excited about? I've started thinking about my list, but it's not very long yet: - Book of Templates - Monte Cook's Iron Heroes - Shackled City campaign Added from this thread: - Mage...

A player in my upcoming Eberron campaign has proposed giving the soulknife (from the XPH) full BAB progression to shore up the class. His argument is that the soulknife looks like a primary combatant (like the fighter), but doesn't have the abilities to back it up. And if it's supposed to be a...

I just finished up my downloadable Dungeon Magazine Adventure Index, which covers every 3rd Edition issue (#82 through #124). It's in the form of an Excel 2000 file, and you can sort the index by level, level range, setting and other criteria. I'll be updating it every time a new issue comes...

Does anyone know if rules covering Eberron's airships -- including, say, aerial combat, construction guidelines, and deck plans -- are forthcoming? I know that there are at least two existing supplements on airships in D&D: Aerial Adventure Guide: Sky Captain's Handbook (From Goodman Games) and...

I'm going to be starting up an Eberron campaign in about a month, and our group is looking for a fourth player (as our current Stargate campaign is winding down). We'll be gaming every Saturday night in Salt Lake, usually from about 6:00 PM to midnight. This will be a serious campaign (and not...

If you run or play in an Eberron campaign, have you set any Dungeon adventures in that world? If so, which ones worked particularly well? I'm most likely going to be starting up an Eberron campaign in the not-too-distant future, and I'm considering giving it some structure by building it around...

I love the concepts behind the Fireborn RPG, and from skimming through it in the store it looks like a pretty sexy little game -- is it? If you have any experience with Fireborn, I'd love to hear about it! :) (Should it factor in in any way, I'm toying with the idea of running it for the first...

If someone builds completely identical rooms at different locations, can a character who has seen one room teleport to any of the others as if they were "very familiar" or "studied carefully" -- with no need to scry or otherwise actually observe the destination? Boy, that was a long sentence! I...

What is your single favorite D&D creature? Any ruleset, any product, any setting: the field is wide open. Please mention the creature's source, and delve into why it's your favorite. :)

(No spoilers in my post, just opinions on the movie. ;)) I went and saw Steamboy with my girlfriend last night, and overall I found it to be really disappointing. I don't usually post just to gripe, but since I'm generally a huge Otomo fan I was surprised at this one. It was dubbed, which is...

I've got a brown thumb, but lately I've really been wanting some plants to brighten up my new place. To survive my periodic neglect, they're going to need to be hardy little buggers -- other than cacti, any suggestions? Thanks in advance! :)

I signed up for another three months as a CS on January 2nd. My custom title is still around, but I don't seem to be able to search -- has it moved, or has that aspect of my renewal not kicked in yet? Thanks in advance. :)

I hadn't seen this one in awhile, and frankly I didn't miss it -- I thought it was removed by mod/admin request? Is it going to get re-tweaked out of existence, or is back to stay? Edit: Upon closer inspection, this snippet was used to make it appear: "img...

I've picked up bits and pieces here lately about how good these books are (mainly because of the d20 treatment), and I'd like to know more about them. Sure, I could spend some time on Google -- but I'd much rather hear from intelligent people who enjoy them, and this is a great place to do that...
