    Help needed in giving a villain depth

    Hi. So, my Eberron campaign began yesterday. Essentially it is about the characters becoming entwined with the fate of a riddle-locked box and its carrier, a House Kundarak dwarf. The box contains an egg-shaped, eye-covered crystal that stands on tentacle-like appendices which sprout from its...

    Combining Splat-Material Themes?

    This thread is motivated by pure curiosity. I'm interested in the ways people combine the material of their theme-specific splat-books. It seems to me like the variety of 3.5 books and the multitude of dimensions they cover allow for some really great specialized combinations instead of...

    Monster Manuals, WTH?

    Hi. Ok, here's an interesting phenomenon I have noticed: many if not most monsters are at their best against non-casters who are already at the bottom of the pecking order among characters. Yes, there are a great many monsters with Spell Resistance, sure. Even immunity to spells, as in the case...

    Adventure Paths with planar options

    I bought Expedition to the Demonweb Pits from a sale for 10€ (a real bargain, imo) thinking that it might come in handy and recalling that it probably had the rules for Cambions. When I actually received the book, I was dumbstruck with joy: it has the rules for Dabuses, Cambions (though...

    Campaign Manager Journals

    Hi. I've noticed that campaign which were previously stored in the Campaign Manager are now groups and discussions seem to have been salvaged. However, since I kept the bulk of my notes (NPC stats, homebrew, etc.) in the Journal of Campaign Manager and all that information still seems to be...

    Mialee and Nicolas Cage

    Ok, this is merely a humorous thing I noticed after reading this. In the comic Mialee is portrayed as the most foul creature imaginable. And really, I checked the artwork for her. It's true - my god what charisma 8 does to elven maidens. Actually, looking at her PHB iteration, I couldn't help...

    MMORPG-simulation

    Right. I've been having this idea of a campaign that's essentially simulating being trapped within a full immersion MMORPG. Sounds familiar? No wonder - in case you happen to know Sword Art Online. It's an anime which starts with the same premise and that was my original inspiration. However...

    Lazy DM: Planescape NPCs

    Hi. I just got this crazy idea. Let's see if anyone's interested in contributing. Basically, I'm going to run a Planescape Campaign in 3.5 once I'm done converting Factions in a way that's to my liking and one I've prepared a few hooks. Since Planescape allows for almost anything to appear, I'd...

    D&D Settings but not D&D

    This is actually a brief summary of a discussion I had last night. I happened to mention that I've been converting Planescape to 3.5 (essentially just the factions as affiliations - and I know it's been done before). He immediately asked: "But why D&D?" I was baffled, really. Well, it's a D&D...

    Spellthief & UMD with wands

    We'll start playing a Tier 3-4 (4th tier characters get 4 extra points in point buy) campaign this friday. Today I started creating my character, a Wild Elf Spellthief. The wild elf part is simply because they happen to be in war with a magocracy in the campaign world and I wanted to play...

    Using MTG cards as campaign aids

    I just wanted to share something I did today. Since my piles of bad and unusable and somewhat decent but unneeded Magic the Gathering cards had grown too big, I went through them and picked each card I found inspiring or suitable for D&D fantasy. I'd estimate I chose about a thousand cards. I...

    Balancing out a campaign

    I'll start by giving some background information about the events that have lead our play group in a bit of trouble. Today we finished a campaign which was centered around a war of the 4 elements. Elementals were competing over the domination of a Material World through direct intervention as...
