I figured the EN World folks might be interested in some great PbP gaming. Check out www.UnlimitedRPGs.com, they're always looking for new DMs and players. Check it out. Thanks! -Xune

I've been involved with www.unlimitedrpgs.com, a PbP site, for a few years now as a player as well as a DM. Lately, there's been a change of administration and myself along with some of the other DMs are now trying to actively promote the site and the games therein. At the moment, we have...

In the Realms, there are creatures called shades who are the descendants of Netherise wizards who shifted into the plane of shadow before Netheril was destroyed. I was reading in the new "City of Splendors" book that the Shadow Thieves have struck a deal with the Shades and that some of the...

I think a couple things may be happening: 1.) My one player is an expert min-maxer. He exploits every possible advantage when creating characters and is just a long-time player so he knows how to put an effective PC together. I don't really fault him for that. 2.) He advises the other player...

Yes, they survived. The 3rd level fey'ri sorcerer had damage resistance 10/+1 and she mainly hovered over the party (flying) while raining down 1st level spells (magic missile, ice dagger, etc.). She was able to escape before the PCs killed her. She actually took no damage during the fight...

Well, remember the 25 skeletons were normal and the 3rd-level priest could use turn attempts up to 5x/day. As the skeletons filtered into the room the PCs were defending, the priest stood behind the dwarven fighter and just turned small groups of skeletons as they came in. The dwarven fighter...

I really like the idea of using pre-generated battle maps, potentially with a program like Dunjinni. It seems like a great way to show the PCs what their characters are doing and what the area looks like -- especially with minis. My only concern is that if you generate a battlemap for the entire...

I'm currently running a small group (2 players) through a modified version of "Pool of Radience: Attack on Myth Drannor" -- I've changed the plot around, but am using the "Polyandrum" (elven graveyard) region pretty much as-is. My PCs are (1.) A dwarven rogue/fighter lvl 1/2 and (2.) An elven...

I ran an adventure recently, specifically a chase-scene through a city where one of the PCs was a dwarf in medium armor. I allowed him to run at 4x speed (80'/round). Had he been wearing heavy armor or very encumbered for some reason he would have been reduced to 3x (60'/round). In other words...

I would think they would as mage armor grants an armor bonus and shield grants a shield bonus. Meaning, they're not the same kind of AC bonus. Any definitive opinions on this?

I would say the most common mistake that a n00b DM makes is that he doesn't understand the idea of using tactics/strategy in his encounters or he lacks understanding of the monster's capabilities as he's running the combat. Some of the other posters gave some excellent specifics on varying...

I'm working up some plot/story ideas for a new campaign I'm going to be running. The campaign will start off in Silverymoon in the Silver Marches area of the Forgotten Realms. There's a wealth of generalized information (fluffy bits) spread across a number of books that I've already checked, the...

Wow, thanks Coyote6... Looks like WoTC is getting into the racial thing for 2003... I wonder why their site doesn't have any info. Perhaps they're going to add the entire 2003 release schedule all in one shot....

Since I can't search this message board without being a super-secret member or whatever, I apologize in advance if this is a repost of any kind.... Where can I get info on WoTC D&D Releases for 2003. We're about a month out from next year and the WoTC site has NO information, plus I can't seem...
