    Lava Cavern of Intense Burning

    Just recently our group finished P1 Trollhaunt Warrens, and we began a few sessions ago the lead in to P2 DemonQueen's Enclave. This meant the group was heading into the Underdark. I really wanted to impress upon the group the enormity and hazards of the Underdark; which the module touches upon...

    Help with Skill Challenge for H3

    I'm planning on reworking a combat encounter from H3:Pyramid of Shadows into a skill challenge and could use some assistance. Some spoilers follow below; you've been warned. Right now the combat encounter is taken from the Encounter G2: Maze of Lost Souls. My idea was to speed this encounter a...

    Escape from the Horned Hold

    The PCs in my campaign were recently captured while trying to assault the duergar fortress of the Horned Hold in H2:Thunderspire Labyrinth. They were able to discover the back way in, but quickly became overwhelmed when several encounters joined in the fray. Only one of the party perished, the...

    Best Table Set-up

    I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to assist in my search for a thread I can't seem to find that detailed a GM's table-top setup where he used a projector to display the group map. Does anyone recall this? I've gone back a few weeks now, and can't seem to find it... Any help is...

    I want to go Sailing

    I would like to get recommendations for a good resource or rulebook that covers medieval era naval ships. Mainly I am most concerned about deck plans (maps) and possibly rules on boarding and ship combat. I would like to have a wide range of ships as well (warships, schooners, barques, etc.) I'd...

    To Familiar or not to Familiar?

    In all of my campaigns since running 3.x I've thrown out the familiar as a Wizard/Sorcerer/Channeler feature. Typically I replace the feature with a bonus feat or some type of even trade out. I've just never liked the idea of the familiar. The idea of it always seemed so "Walt Disney"-ish to me...

    Uncanny Feint with Invisible Blade

    Do I have it right that a 5th level Invisible Blade can make a feint action (uncanny feint- free action) on every one of his attacks if he takes a full attack action, thereby gaining (potentially, if he makes his Bluff checks) a sneak attack on each attack? Thanks in advance.

    Multiple Disarms

    If my character has multiple attacks (+15/+10/+5) I can have him make a disarm move for every attack, correct? Thanks in advance! mac1504

    Campaign/Player Surveys

    I'm running a campaign right now, and I think I'm at the point where I would like to get some feedback from my players. I'd rather it be anonymous type feedback (so that they can be honest and forthright about any opinions on the progress so far) so I'd like to give them a survey by email to...

    A simple sketch request

    I posted this in another artist thread, but thought some others might see it out on the postings. I've been looking for someone to sketch something very simple (well, not for me, since I can barely draw a stick figure) for a game I am DM'ing. It isn't a character- but an object. However, I want...

    Maiming Your PCs

    The adventure I ran yesterday, one of the PC's had his arm ripped off by an Umber Hulk. The PC was the group's Ranger (actually Wildlander in the Midnight Campaign Setting), and the player is actually handling it rather well. He is determined to keep playing the character, which I was hoping he...

    Construction Delays in Indiana?

    I'll be traveling south from Chicago to Indianapolis for GenCon and was wondering if anyone has any first-hand knowledge of the construction delays along I-65 heading south (and north for the return trip)? I visited the Indiana DOT website and it sounds like mostly night-time construction...

    Prophetic Magic Items

    I'll be running an adventure soon where the PCs will each be given a magic item during a fortune telling encounter with a dwarf wizard. Each item will seem at first to have inconsequential powers but at the right time and in the right place, the item will allow them to overcome an obstacle, or...
