in Is it wrong to want to TPK your group? June 2011

I haven't read every post, so sorry if this has been covered, but from the original post, it seemed like the whole encounter was designed to confuse and isolate the players, and even had they wanted to work together, with their perceptions warped, t…

in D&D 3.5 Rules Question: Bardic Music June 2011

I don't know about the weapon (it basically mimics the feat Lingering Song in complete adventurer) but it can work. As far as stacking barding music effects, I do believe that you can do that. If they confer any bonuses of the same type to the same …

in GM General May 2011

Welcome, you're in the right place. These forums are mostly used by the GMs of OP games (there are some players lurking about too) and that's exactly what we try to accomplish here :). I'm just the first, but I'm sure the welcome wagon will be here …

in D&D 3.5 Animal Companion rules (Skills) May 2011

According to the Monster Manual, a creature may have maximum ranks in a skill equal to their HD+3, same as for characters. This information is listed on page 301 in Chapter 5: Making Monsters. That's for skill ranks, but a creature can have any numb…

in Floating Sidebar Help May 2011

I've just had a thought that I haven't tried: on each wiki page, include in the sidebar code, a z-index: 0, and enclose the body of the wiki page in a div with a z-index: 1. Sounds like you don't need to worry about it, but it was just a thought …

in New Moderator Traverses The Portal May 2011

As far as I'm aware, I'm also still a moderator, but this community is so well behaved that I haven't had to flex my Mod Muscles in a long time. :) I figured I'd let the new people know, so they have the whole list of Moderators here in one spot!

Oh hey Dusk! I saw this a bit ago, and meant to come back and say hey... but I forgot. :P Good to hear from you again, and know that we're not gonna hold it against you if you have to live real life. I know we all try to avoid it from time to time, …

Consider me interested, let me know where we go from here :).

in Hello from Central California May 2011

Sheesh, you're going to be going to NZ for a PhD program? That's amazing! If you want to know any awesome places to visit, let me know, I spent three months traveling around there :)

in Song of Fire and Ice PBP-Style Campaign May 2011

"A Song of Ice and Fire PbP Campaign" is the name of the wiki? C'mon now :P. I put in one vote to change it to something more fun before we are too invested in the wiki :P. On a slightly more serious note, Glad to hear that things are shaping up…

in Just saying hello May 2011

Thanks for the shout out Arsheesh, and welcome to the forums Talmeth! I started my campaign setting like 10 years ago, and last year I finally wanted to start getting organized and I was told about OP by a friend of mine. While I was at the time run…

in Song of Fire and Ice PBP-Style Campaign May 2011

Sounds good, I have been meaning to read the books for a long time, maybe this will give me the motivation to do so. I got my own copy of the books (core rules and the campaign setting) so no worries there. Keep me posted, this sounds like fun :).

in Song of Fire and Ice PBP-Style Campaign May 2011

Hey Johnny, I think I might be interested as well. However, I have not yet read the books. When are you looking to start this game? I would like to at least get started reading them first, so I avoid any spoilers. I'm also totally fine with any styl…

That's it chainsaw! Thanks, I had been staring at it too long to see it. I think I'll just have to go back to using symbols to represent the locations as I did on the other map. There was nothing wrong with it, I was just looking for something to sp…

Okay, so I put in the new icons, and I like the look of them, but something just doesn't seem quite right, and I can't put my finger on it. Any thoughts? "New Link":http://i.imgur.com/q744n.jpg

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread May 2011

Haha, DM, that show was fantastic! Okay, I'm trying to work out the icon scheme for my map, I'm terrible at drawing, but I want kind of unique hand-drawn style icons, so i've been trying to find some online and make them fit the scheme. Here are …

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread May 2011

Good call chainsaw, I'll play around with it and see what I can come up with, but the problem I had with that, was the overlay texture to make it look like weathered parchment makes it hard to see the gritty noise... although I suppose i could just …

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread May 2011

I've gotten started on a second map for my campaign setting, this one for a less populated and wild part of the world. I've been having trouble deciding on a good method for depicting the desert, but what's in there now isn't too terrible. I also ca…

I can't stop: "Another Update":http://i.imgur.com/5Carh.jpg I redid the border and background, added some folds... I think I'm going to finally leave it alone, but we'll see. Perhaps I should start working on the next one instead :P.

Last post for this map, I am officially calling it complete: "The Former Amrushi Empire":http://i.imgur.com/1Sl0r.jpg All in all, I'm very happy with the final result, not something that I usually say about my own work :P. Edit: fixed a spelli…

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

Very nice maps Chainsaw! Are they done by hand, did you follow some sort of tutorial or just come up with it on your own? If the former, I would love to take a look at what you used :). Either way, they look great!

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

Thanks! Sheesh, do you have a trick/resource for coming up with names of places? Or are you just good at coming up with names? I find that is often my biggest challenge.

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

And here's yet another update, I think it's pretty much done now. Haven't decided if I'm going to include a legend, I don't think it really needs one. "Linky":http://i.imgur.com/yMZsb.jpg

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

Well, I still have a little bit to add to it, but I'm almost done. Just need a break, so i thought I'd share what I've got so far. Any comments or criticism are welcome, as this is my first attempt at a map of this style. I'm liking how it's coming …

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

I blame Arsheesh for this, but I've started work on a series of hand-drawn style maps for my world, starting with the continent that my last game took place on. I have the outline and style done for the map so far, and tomorrow I think I'll add in t…

Welcome indeed! I look forward to seeing what you come up with, I might be interested in joining a PbP game...

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011

Thanks again for the links there Arsheesh, I think I might have a remake of my world map in order sometime soon. Don't get me wrong, I like the way my current map turned out, but I think I could still do better. I also like the idea of making a hand…

in Players have editing rights...? April 2011

It's not a fix, but the gang running the show here I believe keep back-ups and might be able to recover a lost page. At least it's worth a shot to see if they can recover some of your hard work.

in Campaign Maps WIP Thread April 2011 edited April 2011

First, let me say, DAMN! That's a fine piece of cartography you have going there. Do you have a link to the tutorials you might have used to make this map? Also, for the rivers, do you seriously paint them all in by hand, or do you have a trick for …
