Building off the discussion of the Friends cantrip... I'm a little saddened by the notion that victims of both Friends and Charm Person instantly realize they've been had (at least until 14th level). I can understand the game rationale, and there's plenty of cultural precedent for this kind of...

I don't know if this has come up yet, but I'm curious as to whether and to what extent it will be practicable to play multi-level parties in the new D&D. I remember doing this quite frequently in 2nd edition (though I should admit that we may have played a little fast and loose with rules back...

If you're lucky, old, or diligent enough to have a big shelf of Dragon back issues (and/or the CD-ROM archive), what do you find yourself going back to? What's worth keeping open? Articles, art, stories, even ads that fire your imagination even if you're playing with a rules system several...

I've finally managed to pretty much finish listening to the excellent series of podcasts from BBC 4 called "A History of the World in 100 Objects." It is what the name suggests - a survey of world history (generally with a weekly theme) using objects from the British Museum's collection as a...

The 3.5e DM's guide admits that the system does not deal well with encounters featuring more than 12 opponents. But I'm working on an adventure where the PCs have at least the potential to stand against a horde of onrushing gibberlings (using my own conversion, since I don't own Monsters of...

So, here's the scenario: Setting: High fantasy. There's a certain port city, wherein a mafia-style thieves' guild has established total control. They have their hands in every business transaction worth nothing; they control the civil government, have half the police force in their employ and...

The good ol' inn/tavern/what-have-you is such a D&D staple that it sometimes fades into the background. Of course, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that most establishments offering beds, beer, and/or bread and butter are nothing to write home about, more or less average places populated by...

Hi all, I'm having a hard time tracking down the 3.5 rules for researching new spells (other than a paragraph or so in the DMG about balancing new spells), and, come to think of it, I don't think I've ever had cause to reference them before. I was just wondering where I might look to...
