Personally, the only change I'd make for the sorcerer would be to somehow give them the possibility to change their spells repertoire at some point. That's exactly what they did in 3.5, by the way. It's not much, but it's something. (I think one spell switch every 4 levels, or so.) I've never actua...

I have in the past played Rifts and Toon and VtM. I've got DC Heroes and Ghostbusters RPG stuff that I've never played. Other than that, D&D is my first love and I pretty much have seen no reason to change. Other than RPG's, of course, I play LOTS of stuff. I'm a board/card game nut, and try to ...

I've done it. not a pretty picture. I think it was around 11 or 12 PC's and me DMing, going through NotwD. They didn't even make it to town. Bad Idea. With an assistant, maybe. (I was in high school, and some of my friends asked me to DM, so I agreed, but then word got around and friends of friends ...

Re: Van Richten and The Time Of Unparalleled Darkness

do you think this scenario will ever come to fruition? look, i've been waiting for seven years now and there STILL no inkling of when this scenario will be released. you've got a bit more waiting to do. Current RL time is 758BC. The TOUD isn't coming until 775. (25 yrs after VR's disappearance).

We of the Ravenloft catalogue have been trying to find Stu for a while now. (Daisu in particular has been looking for him even longer.) He seems to have pulled a Van Richten. Hope he's OK.

And yes, it gets under my skin when people say you can't do such and such in your own RL campaign. It may break with tradition, it may never resemble canon in the slightest, and I personally may gag at the concept, but for people to say that you can't do it is not only immature, it's downright fals...

I'm not sure what you mean about slow advancement. I like the point buy system for its flexibility and fairness. If a player has a great idea for a character, I don't want him not to be able to play it because he rolled poorly.

I think even in a moderate-magic setting as the World of Greyhawk, villagers would run away screaming for their lives if a half-dragon approaches them... But he told me that he looks exactly like a normal human. Who has claws. And razor sharp teeth. And breaths fire. From the SRD: "Half-dragon...

3.I don't know about the serial killer thing (is it in Gaz IV?). Yes, IMO, this is the only indication of continuing evil from her part, but this is sooo human and common. And I think that in the last 5 years she has restricted herself to the double-game (the wolfwere and the rebel). In fact, the G...

Thanks everyone for the great ideas so far! I'm normally all for triple layered plots, but I want to keep this one on the simple side. The Forgotten Terror is one of the 9 RL products I don't own, so I'm not going to use Aggarath (didn't even know it sucked souls). And I want to save Adam for later,...

Adventure plot help needed (Guardians)

Finally getting to play again in a couple weeks, and I'm thinking ahead a bit. After the current adventure, I want to send my PC's on an adventure I've been planning since the beginning of the campaign. It should be a rather large climax for one of the runing threads. Problem is, there are a couple ...

Forgive the interjection of someone who doesn't own the book, but IMHO this sounds like an extension of something the DP's have allowed from the beginning--the DL's sense of paladins in their domains. Last Stand simply escalates the "mental itch" to catastrophic levels, where the DL is fo...
