A steampunk/ electrotech/ fantasy d20 game starting this month at Your Local Game Store in Matthews NC. Email me for details at klangley2@mindspring.com . Rules available as a free PDF at www.radiancerpg.com

So my Guide background gives me Survival skill proficiency (prof bonus for Wis(Survival) rolls), and navigator's tools proficiency (prof bonus for Wis(Survival) rolls to avoid becoming lost). And we've been told that you can't add prof bonus twice, ever. So.... why? Almost every background...

I'm starting a campaign based in Sigil, the City of Doors. As I'm considering races and classes and how they would fit in, races are no problem; anything from anywhere could at some point walk, crawl, swim, fly or slither into Sigilvia a portal, and once there, settle down and raise a family...

Two things led to this design: 1. printer ink is expensive 2. several of my players are new to the game and/ or easily overwhelmed by too much information These are custom made for each character; you'll see differences in format for characters with a lot of minor/ triggered powers, and for...

No, we didn't quite have one, but it was very close, thanks to SIX consecutive failed saving throws (no further details, since we're playing a week ahead of schedule so it would be a spoiler for anyone playing on schedule). We had only one conscious and functioning party member, and had the...

The kitchen sink approach of default D&D means there is a place for anything and everything. this is good for player options but I feel it leads to a world without a distinctive flavor. I'm often inspired by what is NOT in a setting. for example, the lack of a Divine class in Dark Sun helps...

Heroic tier rituals. A nice 9 pages of new rituals, plus feats that allow ritualcasters to (among other bennies) cast some rituals without spending money. I like this!

(also posted in Gamers Seeking Gamers, but since this is a 1-shot I want to try to catch people who are not looking for a new group and so don't visit that forum.) We're trying to schedule a Lair Assault run for Sept 24 at Above Board Games in Fort Mill, SC. Their monthly late night gaming is...

We're trying to schedule a Lair Assault run for Sept 24 at Above Board Games in Fort Mill, SC. Their monthly late night gaming is 10 PM-2AM that night (admission $5, which I will cover for you if you can't afford it, or $10 with pizza). Because I GM Encounters on Wednesdays and work on...

1. feat: Is this feat always on for a bladesinger, unless he somehow acquires an encounter power? "All" can equal 0, after all. 2. (I think I know the answer, but hoping I'm wrong)... Bladespells have neither the Weapon nor the Implement keyword. Does this mean they gain no benefit from...

Giant In the Playground Games Good to see Rich is back at work.

So we have: Dark (original) CHA/ int Fey (original) CHA/ int Fey (Hexblade) CHA/ dex Fey of the White Well (Hexblade) CHA/ dex Infernal (original) CON/ int Infernal (hexblade) CHA/ con SorcererKing (original) CHA or CON/ int Star (original) CHA and CON/ int Star (hexblade) CHA/ int Star (binder)...

Lately I've been thinking about the virtues of shorter, more focused campaigns. The basic assumption of the standard D&D campaign (some other systems may be more narrowly focused) is that 4 to 6 fairly low-powered adventurers of completely unrelated species, class, ethics and goals somehow...

March 25-27, a small gaming convention just north of Charlotte. Anyone here going? Mace West Home Page

Need to know where a character was born, where a teleporter randomly dropped the party, or whatever? The obvious solution of rolling a latitude and longitude ends up with a lot of empty space or ocean. While it is suitable for determining a meteorite strike, it is less useful when you want...

My players are trying to convince some Goliaths to ally with them, and they have been challenged to a friendly game of goatball. I thought about making this a skill challenge, but then thought it might be more fun as a "combat" encounter. Here are the rules I came up with: Goatball is...

I'm running a boardgame and a cardgame at ConCarolinas in Charlotte - Rise and Fall and 3 Dragon Ante. Both are great fun and easy to learn if you haven't tried them. If you're coming to the con, see if these will fit into your schedule. See you there!

here is the power: My question is, what if my next attack against that enemy is not a (W)eapon attack? (Assume I do have a weapon in my hand when making the attack). I ran into this while working on a hybrid sorcerarian.

My pregenerated drow warlock for D&D Encounters had: HP23, bloodied at 13, healing surge value 5. Should have been bloodied at 11. A 3rd at-will, the Paladin power Holy Strike. (Maybe it was really a half-drow dilettante?) Were others similarly odd?

There is a barbarian in my game who is very frustrated with Swift Charge. Every time he drops an enemy, he glares through his red haze of rage to find the next foe to pummel. The guy next to him, who's been poking him in the back for the past 4 rounds? No, he can't hit him. How about the...
