I was curious if WotC has dropped any information on whether they will be bringing back PDFs of their books. I completely stopped purchasing from WotC after they abandoned digital distribution. I don't understand how someone in this business can be so ignorant as to think stopping digital...

I've created a tweak to represent injuries. Comments are welcome. The injuries option imposes limits to how many healing surges can be regained simply by taking an extended rest. The Problem From a narrative perspective, the game does not support any way for injuries to last beyond a single...

I've fleshed out the myth of the Oba of Gulg. I present it here as a myth and then an analysis on it's passages. I'm looking for ways to make it more polished if anyone has any ideas. Athas was not always dying. There was a period long ago called the Green Age, when a small, comforting...

I've been trying to piece together all the info about Rajaat's champions and I've come up with an alternate history that tries to take into account the conflicting information coming from the boxed sets, Rise and Fall of a Dragon King, and the timeline. The postulate is basically that the...

Looking for a game to play (or run) in San Diego. Haven't found a group since moving here almost a year ago.

This weekend (Aug-18) I'll be leaving for a visit to San Diego for a month and, if all goes well, moving there. Any groups on the lookout for a new player?

Looking to collect some puzzle ideas. Anyone have any good puzzles they've used lately? My personal preference is for puzzles that the players have to have a hand in figuring out, but that can be altered or helped by character skill checks or magic. Example (anachronistic, but serves my point...

I am trying to put together a dungeon crawl adventure for my group. I rarely run dungeon crawls because I find them hard to fit into a campaign and retain verisimilitude. I have found a good way to fit the dungeon in, but I am running into some problems with creating encounters for it...

Is there a really good gamer registry somewhere? Like something where you can search for gamers within a certain number of miles from your zip code and sign up for notifications, etc.? Perhaps even with a social network?

From another thread based on original news story on gamespot. You gotta love Microsoft's business savvy. Sony and MS both get sued by Immersion in 2002 over force feedback technology in PS2 and XBox. MS settled, paying Immersion $26 mil and acquiring a 10% share in the company. Sony fought...

I know others have seen these advertisements and wondered - as I have - what the hell they were for. Seems to be a new show on NBC called Revelations. I have found no official word, but this is what the New York Times is CURRENTLY reporting (they started by reporting that it was an ad for War...

Suggested Level Adjustment for a dryad without Tree Dependent and entangle only once per day? Gut instinct is +1, but I'm looking for other views. My reasoning is that they have fairly poor HP (d6) and poor BAB (+1/2), making them worse on that front than any other class but sorcerer/wizard...

Hehe... I just realised that the acronym that is going to be used for Werewolf: the Forsaken is wtf. I just found that amusing and wanted to share.

The Wizards article on Mounts got me thinking. Is there anything (besides common sense and DM magic) that stops you from using whirlwind attack from atop a mount that takes up many spaces more than you to cover a lot more space (you threaten from any square you and your mount occupy)? With a...

Is there an official source where I can find the Level Adjustment for the Psionics Handbook Web Enhancement version of the Thri-Kreen?

I'm looking to find what level adventure modules would be most useful and whether new creatures/magic items/spells are a plus, minus, or non-issue. Also, if there are any silver bullets you would like to see (a certain niche or idea that just isn't usually fulfilled). If there are any things...

I'm afraid I don't have my books in front of me, but I will try to explain the issue as well as possible. This last weekend one of my players got Libris Mortis and decided to use the Summon Undead II (I think it was 2) spell. It says in the spell description to use the table for 2nd level...

I am looking for several players to playtest a system inspired by (though "based off of" might be too strong) D&D. If you are interested in playing a system that is truly different from the D20 system, yet still maintains the feel, please contact me at reanjr@wwnet.net. Optimally I am looking...

I need some ideas on Elements I am revising the D&D Elemental system to include the opposing elements of Metal and Wood. I have come up with many of the relationships between the six elements but am stuck on two of them. If you treat the Elements as a circle, Wood would come between Air and...

If one is deciding to become a X/Rogue, what reason would there be to start at 1st level with X rather than Rogue? I'm speaking of the long run. Now I know you get full HP, but even the barbarian is only going to be 6 hp ahead (and if you are going for Barbarian/Rogue you are likely going to...
