My players have been asking me to revive an older campaign of mine in which mind flayers were beginning to play a growing role. With the return to this game, I'd like to help the players remember why they hated and feared mind flayers so much. So, for the first game session, I'd like to hand...

Which do you prefer? I know that the traditional Greek pronunciation is ACK-eron, but with modernization (Asheron's Call, etc) do you prefer to pronounce the name old-school, or new-school? I'm getting ready to dump my players onto the Outlands near the Portal Town of Rigus, which leads to...

Hey folks, This evening I'll be running an RPGA adventure at our local D&D Meetup get-together. I'm running the adventure entitled "Enthralled," which pits six 9th-level characters against roughly 20 Mind Flayers. Ignoring the fact that this adventure's premise is extraordinarily bad (it's...

I've recently started a new 1st-level campaign that is currently city-based. In yesterday's game, the players (there are three of them) were asked to track down and capture a criminal who was known to have committed armed-robbery. They quickly located a run-down building where he was living...

Check out this link (page is in Russian) to pictures of deep sea fish that were brought up by the recent tsunami and caught by "regular" divers, etc. These pictures should give DMs some great ideas for deep sea adventures, or Underdark travels. Weird stuff.

In late January/early February, I'm looking at starting up a new D&D campaign with a group of 3 (perhaps 4, though not likely) PCs. I've asked the players to come up with a reason why they're adventuring together, and they're currently kicking around the idea that they're bounty hunters of some...

I'm thinking about bringing in a new character into one of the games I'm playing in. I've grown tired of the standard heroic character, and want to play something a little more devious. So, I'm thinking about playing a rogue who is pretending to be a paladin. I'm looking for suggestions -- in...

I'm looking for a spell that can turn an item into a temporary, single-use, spell-completion magic item (for instance, imbuing the spell invisibility in a normally non-magical ring that another spellcaster could cast "spontaneously"). Restrictions on the spell don't matter (i.e. time limit to...

I'm just wondering if anyone has considered what might happen if someone was exposed to a series of Enchantments or Charms for a long time? Let's say, for example, that some Mind Flayers have been indiscriminately using Dominate Person around town, particularly on town officials, for the last...

With Halloween drawing near, I was thinking about a scary (to me) and funny (to everyone else) gaming-related event that happened to me awhile back. If you have any, whether scary or funny, please share! Back in college (ten years ago!) I spent a fair amount of my time not studying either...

Okay, kind of a weird request, here. Could someone who is a Dungeon subscriber tell me what all came in your issue this month? Anything special? I ask, because the mailman clearly got curious about my issue and opened it, and it looks like he read it, too. Before I contact the post office to...

I have a player with a blind psion character (in my campaign, it's not always possible or desirable to remove these handicaps), and we were discussing his character's potential use of the Claraudience/Clairvoyance power. Obviously, Clairaudience is no problem, but what about Clairvoyance...

One of my players and I were talking today about the potential benefits of fasting for a cleric or paladin. It was an interesting discussion and has gotten me wondering if anyone else has done any thinking or prepared any rules to handle fasting in their game world. Obvious drawbacks include...

I know this is a topic that people come back to from time to time, but I'm wondering about a pronunciation issue. How do you pronounce Illithid? Do you pronounce it Illithid? Or Illithid? We're having a battle of the pronunciations in our gaming sessions, and I'd like to see what other people...

I've been leading my players toward a city of high magic for some adventure, and I'm looking for some ideas of "mundane" magic items. To date, my campaign's magic-level has been lower-than-average. My players are all around 6th to 7th level, and each has one or two magic items, and not everyone...

*gasp* Horror of horrors! I finally began reading my copy of CoC today, and I stumbled across this myth of physics! Page 29, Sidebar -- Cars and Other Vehicles: :eek: No, no, no, no, no! In any kind of interaction between two forces, energy must be conserved. If two cars (same make and...
