I currently use HeroForge for making up NPCs and PC's, but it has some quirks that are proving to be slightly annoying: 1) As an excel sheet, it runs kinda slooooow at times. Plus, since I'm using Excel 2007, the compatibility mode can make it unreliable at times 2) Entering in new stuff is...

Originally, I statted up a bunch of monsters for a Dragon article back in the day*. The article was rejected and they've been languishing on my hard drive ever since. During a recent hard drive perusal, I came across these, along with some other things I did and I thought, '4e will be here soon'...

So, World of Warcraft has some pretty cool monsters and I thought I'd take it upon myself to convert some. Yeah, I know that S&S released a Warcraft Monster book sometime back, but it didn't cover many of the cool monsters that were introduced in WoW. I'm going to try to retain as much of the...

So I have an adventure sorta planned for next week. The PC's are planning on breaking into a fortress run by a group known as the Seekers (think, evil historians who seek out ancient knowledge and lore at whatever the cost). I'm thinking that most of the keep will be devoted to library space...

Because I just love those little buggers, here's an expanded ecology on them, plus some new related critters. For ease of use, I've included a slightly modified 3.5 updated twig blight, that way anyone who doesn't have the MMII can still use these guys. :) TWIG BLIGHT Small Plant Hit Dice...

Just a thread to see what everyone is looking forward to. :) I'm REALLY looking forward to Scott Lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora. Sounds like something right up my alley. Check out the author's website here. Also looking forward to reading Steven Erikson's 'The Bonehunters,' though I'll be...

This is a comment that comes up a lot and one that I'm very curious about... When I first started playing D&D, I started at the very tail-end of 2e, so I never really got much exposure to it until many years later and that was only to plunder it's settings. So... I never really read many of the...

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20051207a I'm downloading as I type this. :) I've never read this one before, so it should be interesting.

I've been working on revisions of the Vile PrC's in the BoVD for sometime. While I liked the ideas in the PrC's, the actual executions were sadly lacking. The power-levels were all over the place and most of them lacked a cohesive design, many just seemed to be a collection of disparate...

It's getting closer and with Thanksgiving only a week away, time to post up what RPG products you want under the tree. :) My List: Stormwrack The Dragon Compendium, Volume 1 Underdark Boosters A sub. to Dragon Magazine

So... after purchasing Advanced Bestiary from my local B&N store, I was flipping through the book and I came upon the 'Amalgam' template. Suddenly, as I was driving home, I got an image of an Amalgam Roper/Gargoyle stuck in my brain (it doesn't matter if you can actually do this, I haven't read...

So, I've been watching through the 1st Season on DVD and I've been picking out my favorite episodes (for whatever reasons, I always like to 'ranks' things). Here are my top 5 'Lost' Episodes from the 1st season. 1. 'Pilot' Parts 1 and 2 - Great way to kick off a good show. Start fast and end...

Namely, the Ghoul King that appears in the BoVD writeup of Orcus and in Libris Mortis as 'Doresain.' Any references to previous edition material is greatly needed. Thanks.

I've done fiends, now its time for something equally loathsome... undead! Demiurge has his MMII conversion project, so I've decided to wrk on some of the more 'troublesome' undead from other books, along with whatever new stuff I conjure up. First order of business... Libris Mortis. You'd think...

It seems like you can't hit the refresh button without finding a thread about how 'X and X is broken.' Well, I'm curious, we all read about how something looks broken, but has anyone ever had a PrC, a feat, or a combination of rules that just totally destroyed a game? I'm curious and please...

You know what I'm really tired of? Canon and Core D&D. Despite being very, very generic 'Core' D&D still has a nice, vocal following who seem to slam new ideas just because 'Core D&D doesn't work that way.' You know what, the Core assumptions of D&D suck. Screw them. I'd rather have new ideas...

I noticed that amazon has this available and I'm looking at getting this for a friend of mine, but there aren't any reviews up that I can see. :( Anyone have it and how good is it?

Anyone start reading Cook's new book, Tyranny of the Night? I gotta admit, Cook's name and the cover really grabbed me last time I was in the store. It looks like pretty standard fantasy, but I enjoyed Cook's military-styled fantasy in The Black Company, so I'm thinking about picking this up.

So, the PC's in my Eberron game have finally reached the city of Sharn and I'm at a loss as to HOW to keep the information on the city straight. I have the Sharn sourcebook and there's so many different districts, wards, and places that I'm not sure I can keep all of this info straight. For...

I recently came into a nice wad of cash for my birthday and I need a book to spend some of it on. Problem? There's so many books that I want to get, but not enough money to get them all (I'm saving up cash for some future purchases) so I want to get one book and one book only. There's nothing I...
