Dragon Con?
June 2012
I am 23 and what is this? *Thighslap, laughter* But in all seriousness, I have too much going on this year to make it. Maybe next year. Is it always in Atlanta? I dislike hot locations.

Work Exchange
June 2012
My dimension door attack was all about positioning. Touch a guy then port to a place where only my square had free space and his was... I dunno, a tree. It created a violent NO! in game logic and depending on the situation did anywhere from 1-3d6 of…

Don't know if this is dead or not, but... Jaymes, I could help with your combat writing if you want. I tend to be a bit brutal, though. I like flash and gore. I don't know if anyone needs anything like this, but I handle strange ideas really wel…

Hello, my name is Sanguinous Rex.
June 2012
Hey Sanguinous Rex, Welcome to OP. You'll find tons of help and support here, dead gods knows I have. I'm in the process of heavy modding the 4e gameplay myself, and am totally dreading D&DNext. I know I'll love it, but I tend to get bogged d…

I hate my players.
May 2012
I actually left after my original post. I never expected this much help, and it is much appreciated. The problem runs in the players themselves. I need a new group, preferably one with a more "heroic" attitude. I have a world. I have a unique story.…

Dreams and Dragons
April 2012
Now to the numbers. Here are some stats I have for Powers, Abilities, Feats, Spells and Domains. Abilities: Abilities can be affected by sleep and are subject to change in the Dreamscape. Sleep depravation causes fatigue. On the first day of fa…

Dreams and Dragons
April 2012
On a low scale you could use dreams as just a way to inflict penalties or boons on the adventure at hand. A night of fitful sleep would leave an adventurer weary the next day and create a "forced march" scenario, where as another adventurer could be…

Brainstorming DM Ideas
April 2012
I prefer clockwork technology, but my world uses no magic or divinity. Try out this: Bullets are less accurate due to being a new invention. Reduce effective range by taking a crossbows range and halving it. Then take the damage up one dice within …

Brainstorming DM Ideas
April 2012
I have made potions only previde temporary hp, and salves recover it. Potions can only be carried in potion bottles which are on potion belts which only have 6 spaces. Salves, however, can be placed in snake-skin pouches that hold roughly 10 uses. …

Brainstorming DM Ideas
April 2012
What exactly are you looking for? Monsters, traps, plot twists, or something else altogether? Being as I SUCK at using the campaign page, I don't care about coming here and dumping my story, just tell me what you want.

New ways to die
April 2012
I've had one of my characters explode into a garden. Inaquis doesn't have any magic, but the Realm of Dreams has began invading. My party was facing a dream with the body of a snake, eight arms, and a pink and white lotus bloom where the head should…

Breaking into 4th Edition.
April 2012
edited April 2012
Well, my local games shop had the red box for 4e at about $20 so I bought it. It served as a great (if somewhat limited) tutorial on 4th and we are still playing it. We're having a blast. Combat is solid and flows better, in my opinion of course, th…

Cellphones, laptops and other devices distracting from game
March 2012
Well, how bad is it? Is it just minor distractions every half hour or so, or is it full on episodes they are watching? If it is minor perhaps just letting them know that game time is game time could solve the problem. I am a super jealous and overtl…

Cellphones, laptops and other devices distracting from game
March 2012
I think my posts kill threads, but I agree with arsheesh. Either the game is (and I love your l5r campaign) or is not important. Another thing to consider is my solution to metagaming. Start imposing penalties to distracted players. "Oh whats that? …

Wanting to start a table top Mass Effect D&D game
March 2012
Hit up dandwiki.com Alot of it is,.... well crap, but I'm sure you can find things like weapon stats, feats, and even races that will be similar or easily modded to fit what you need. Check out the 3.5e Homebrew both tabled and not.

5th edition dnd... Too soon?
March 2012
Something that might help the dev team on 5th would be, well, apps. A vast majority of people I know (both lower and middle class) have at least 1 iPhone/Android or tablet. I personally don't; however, I think character management, power cards, dice…

Breaking into 4th Edition.
March 2012
(Please excuse pompousness and spelling errors. It is 12am, I just got off work, and am a couple of pints into some very good rum) For some reason, I don't feel as though I was read correctly. I am sorry if I was too vague or if I missled anyone, b…

Destructive Players
March 2012
@killervp Alright, that was bad phrasing on my part. It was only meant to convey that, ultimately, the DM has the final say so.

Going from Dungeon Master to Writer

Do yourself a favor and contact TOR or WotC with your material. If it is good, then you have some big companies in the fantasy genre on your side.

Destructive Players
February 2012
I have fun with them. Right now I don't have a "destructive" player but I have one that likes to metagame. Everytime this happens I say "There is a cold chill in the air" and let him know he has metagamed. When I first did this he asked what it mean…

Two 20+ Years Experienced DnD Players Looking for an Online 3.5e Campaign via an Instant Messenger
February 2012
Hi dog! I am a 7 year 3.5e DM. Right now I am running a campaign with east-asian influence and clockwork and gunpowder technology. I do need a side plot to progress things for my main party. If you like skypirates, samurai, and elemental manipulatio…

What Makes a Truly Memorable Villain?
February 2012
Here is an example: You can find a great "villain" style in The Elder Evils(3.5e), chapter 6: Pandorym. Two of the main villains, including Pandorym, are not inherently evil. Both Pandorym and Obligatum VII are just following "programming" so to …

Hi every one I'm Athear

As far as I can remember, draconic gods include Tiamat, Bahamut, and Io. I've got a slew of 3.5e books including dieties and demigods. Have anyway I can send you the PDF? I also have the bestiary of Krynn with pages 4-30 being of dragons... monster …
