    Composing a Soundtrack for a game

    I'm not asking for specific songs, I'm asking how you'd do it in a meta sense. I'm guessing that people would want something they could just leave on, but at the same time cue up to certain tracks (e.g. the battle music). Yes? No? Both? How would you compose a D&D soundtrack?

    What I want in 3.5 e-support

    This is what I want in a 3.5 character/monster generator from greatest to least importance: * a d20 stat block without any special formatting. Do not bold things that are not supposed to be bolded. Do not put it in an easy-to-read font. Do not make things "easy" for me. I will have to remove...

    Fantasy ecologies rethought

    I'm one of those people who likes a little reality in my fantasy. The explanation, "It's magic", doesn't strike a chord within me. I know some people might think that this position restricts creativity, but I like to think that it enhances it, that wondering how things might work in a fantasy...

    Place names

    OK, I'm looking at reception halls for upcoming nuptials (you have to book these things a year in advance) and it suddenly struck me ... these would be great places for a D&D world: Chrysalis Vineyards Longbarn of Day Spring Goodstone Inn and Estate Barns at Wolf Trap Canterbury Cottage on...

    Mini n00b

    I just bought about 1,000 points of Warhammer Empire minis from a guy. Almost all of them are unpainted and unassembled. How do I paint and assemble them? Is there a website somewhere? Something for n00bs would be appriciated. Also, the guy built a steam tank but had the top guled shut...

    Movie: The Gamers

    http://gamers.deadgentlemen.com My copy arrived yesterday! AT 48 minutes, it's a bit short. But its rather funny. I found the ending to be anti-climactic though. The plot is that a group of role-players have a great session going during finals week at college. While they game, the movie...

    Idle Questions

    This thread is for idle questions to which you simply want to ask and don't really expect an answer. * Has anyone ever actually made Otik's Spiced Potatoes? * Wouldn't the job of being Elminster's apprentice be, like, surprisingly dull? Your boss goes off, saves the world, gets the girl, and...

    [ot] I'm invisible!

    http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_747591.html?menu=news.latestheadlines ... man, you think it would be easier to duplicate a crummy 2nd level spell. Also, these guys are slackers. I've been able to do do a modified version of that for a long time now. With a bottle of tequila as a...

    Fang of Loth

    A 9th level Fang of Loth (from Sound and Silence) has two extra arms and a bite attack. I'm a tad confused about how many sneak attacks the character could deliver in one round.

    Direct Port from D&D: Adept as a modern PrC

    I'm kicking the idea around of introducing the Adept as a possible PrC. It might fit one of the character's background a little better. For reference the Adept has the following abilities at 10th level: Obviously, I'd have to switch the D&D spells with their modern equivalents. I'm still...

    Vile damage & sundering attacks

    My Book of Vile Darkness has been on loan. Apologies if I have stuff wrong. If I make a sundering attack with a vile weapon, can the damaged weapon now only be repaired on consecrated or hallowed ground?

    What do folks think of Earth and Beyond?

    It's a sci-fi MMORPG. Is it fun? Other than setting issues, how is the gameplay compared to NWN, DAoC, or EQ?

    Invisibility (my players keep out)

    From the SRD: OK, what I'd like to do is have an invisible NPC shove a note in a character's pocket. This isn't really an attack. But the invisible guy is touching the PC and I'd like to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before the encouter begins. Are there any in the peanut gallery...

    9th level cleric spell

    There's several high level spells that allow a cleric to assume the mantle of the divine, but they weren't quite right for my campaign. How does this look: Imbue With Positive Energy Transmutation Level: Clr 9 Components: V, S, DF Casting Time: 1 action Target: Self Duration: 1 round/level...

    Modern Minis

    Our d20 Modern game is getting off the ground. What do people sugest for minis and/or counters? Note that I prefer cheap minis over nice, expensive ones. Counters would be ideal.

    Mulling over custom titles.

    I became a member for my home ENWorld account. Now I guess I should pick a title. Any ideas? Here's what I've come up with so far: * Iconic Geek * Paragon Geek * Fanboyus Maximus * Dire Flumph * Gnome Tosser * Will Game For Dice

    Greater Magic Weapon stacks with "Normal" magic weapons?

    I'm confused. I've seen a lot of posts on these boards that would indicate that a +2 Greater Magic Weapon cast on a +3 sword would net you a +5 sword for the duration of the spell. Yet reading the text of GMW would indicate that it is the same type of bonus as the +3 sword and therefore would...

    Connection oddities

    I can connect to ENWorld just fine in the morning (well, morning for me on the American east coast) but not in the afternoon. Can I blame the Gnomes for this?

    [ot] building tables in HTML with varying number of columns

    I will attempt to make this kinda on-topic by pointing out this lovely information could be passed on to the people running gaming websites. I need one of three things. 1) The answer to the following question: I have a table that typically has two columns. But every now and then I want to...
