Space Empires If you're into space games, I'd give Space Empires a try. There's a lot of reply value in the game, and I really like the idea of being able to design my own spaceships and then use them in fleet actions. http://www.malfador.com/

This is especially painful for a DM if your PCs wielding the dust are wearing necklaces of adaption. :|

Thank you very much!

Would someone mind posting what the starting gold is for an 11th level character per the DMG? Thanks.

Situation: a medium sized fighter wielding a longspear is attacking an ogre. The fighter is adjacent to the ogre. Question: since the fighter can't attack an adjacent square with his longspear, can he choose to attack one of the rear squares of the ogre? If so, do cover rules apply?

Another thumbs up for Brookhurst I ordered some small bireme and trireme minis from them and got them quickly. Great customer service.

Gray Renders are also great undead. Basically anything you kill in your adventuring has the potential to become your minion. Pretty powerful, IMO. Get this, female my kobold sorcerer took Leadership as a feat and chose an evil cleric cohort (it was an evil campaign). After one nasty...

Website down? Is this website up and running? http://www.brandonsplace.net/wld/ My browser times out whenever I try to connect.

If you read swrushing's reply, you'll find that he was talking about his performance as a DM, not particular plot twists that some PCs might like, and others dislike.

I'm with FireLance on this one. You can't please all the players all the time, but you sure can try as hard as you can to reach that goal! If a player of mine was mad, actually mad, at the end of a session, or frustrated over the course of a campaign, I'd feel like I'd bear some of the...

I love it, especially when combined with reach weapons!

I allow the Leadership feat in my campaign but I warn the player that s/he should not take too much time during his or her turn. We use a 1 minute turn clock. I'll allow another 30 seconds or so on the clock if the player has a cohort. As a player, I loved the feat. It made my kobold...

I may have missed this in the thread, but did the DM give ample Bluff/Sense Motive opposed skill checks during the conversation with the gnomes? If the DM gave enough chances for the PCs to discover the true motives of the gnomes, then I think it's okay the way the story unfolded. If...

I made up a ring that allows a rogue to use his sneak attack ability on undead/constructs 3 times a day. That way, he can do some good damage at least in some encounters, but he can't do it all the time.

I wrote the following in big, red, letters on a sheet of paper: Pay Attention Please Whenever my players start side conversations or aren't paying attention, I stop talking and hold up this sign until I've got eye contact with everyone. Then I resume the game. I think eye contact is...

Action Points = Cool Metamagic If you allow APs from UA, remember that your spellcasters will now be able to cast metamagicked spells by using an AP (provided they have already picked the metamagick feat being "Action Pointed"). This is a serious power-up for the spellcasters. But very cool...

Anyone know of an epic progression for a battle sorcerer out there?

I let my ogre barbarian play it because it seemed to fit in really well with his character. Plus the other characters (a troll and a ghaele) have methods of limiting his frenzy damage (grappling and at will Hold Monster respectively). However, if you have a party with no grapplers or no hold...

knifespeaks, you might just want to bite the bullet and play 5-10 sessions using the rules as written and see how things shape up. I'll venture to say that you all will have a great time playing by the RAW. And if the RAW isn't working out, then you'll *know* what parts aren't working out...

I call it "weaseling". When someone wants "something extra" they're being a weasel and I call them on it. While roleplaying, that's fine. No problem trying to negotiate to get a deal. But when a player tries to get an advantage that's not RAW . . . weasel! A weasel and a powergramer are...
