One of my players is currently running a very tactically minded character, and I've come up with some house rules for a new(ish) skill that I think would work very well for him. I'd like to hear what you guys might have to say about it. So, without further ado: Alternative Rules for...

One of my players (who is somewhat new to D&D) has just created a new character. He wants to play a Warlock/Monk, and has given him over to me to put the finshing touches on. The character has a decent Dex and Wis, and very good Tumble, Balance, and Jump checks. He has 5 levels in Monk, and 5...

Master Atharias smiles at you. "While I am loathe to leave the Academy, even for a short time, I am confident that I have chosen well--the eight of you should have little difficulty managing the academy during my absence." Behind Atharias, a vast school of platinum tyel fish float lazily in...

To: Imperial General Scrarz Ruy From: Chief Xenoarcheologist Volca I'fev Subject: Naveion Ruins Final Report Part 1, Chapter 1 of 3 (Introduction) General, ~ If I may speak openly, honored sir, your urgent request for my report on the expoloration of the Naveion system seems ill-timed. After...

Naveion. A small, largely unliveable binary star system, ignored except by a handful of xenoarcheologists. Naveion's scourged planets are littered with thousands of pre-Republic Jedi artifacts. The currently accepted theory is that the Naveion system was home to a very early Jedi academy...

In my next campaign, I want to use some sort of system that will allow players to spend their experience points in order to buy feats (and possibly also to buy skill points, although I'm still thinking about this). I'm really impressed by the sheer variety of feats out there (thousands!), and...

I've always been vaguely disappointed with most Luck spells and effects. Many of them just grant you a re-roll or a generic luck bonus that applies to everything within a given period. But I've always felt that Luck should be something that doesn't appear until you really need it. In other...

Beneath the Ice As if the storms that he sailed through at the mouth of the bay hadn’t been bad enough, now the dwarf’s raft was beginning to melt. The air had been growing steadily warmer as the tiny craft was drawn deeper into the bay—now, the heat was beginning to take its toll. Thugrun...

Hello everyone! Last weekend, I ran a few original modules at a local con and had a really great time of it. So I'm planning on running some more game at the next con in the area, which is coming up in August. I've already working on four modules (two complete, two incomplete) and I'd like to...

Okay, so I'm not the best, but I'm pretty good. Yeah, you might say, "If he's so good, how come he needs more players?" Well, by a strange coincidence, all my old players suddenly died (I swear I don't know how their corpses ended up in my crawlspace). No, they all just ended up getting...
