Email it to me. I can't do it, but I can ask my friend who's quite versed in Photoshop to take a look at it. What's the issue with the drawing?

Anyone still alive out here? Halaster? You there? This site's been awfully quiet lately.

Re: Need input on Ruins of Undermountain III: The Deadly Lev

So would 5 new variants specifically designed by Arcturia be satisfactory, or should there be far more? Five should be enough if they're sufficiently interesting enough and freely "distributed" throughout her level. Combine those five with the other 10 uniques, as well as any known monste...

Heh. After that post, I guess you'll find it funny, Hal, that I'm also working on re-creating some of the rules for my game. Psionics, NWPs, and certain elements in combat just to name three. You might be asking yourself why bother. True, the existing rules for these systems work for most people. Th...

I didn't mean split an individual layer. I meant releasing all of Level 7, then all of Level 8, then the sub-level, each in its own release. But it seems like something is gonna get missed that way. I'll forget a major character or something. I think you're worried over nothing, besides, that's wha...

If it got this out sooner and wrapped, I'm all for a three-part PDF of RouM3. As for how to split it up into thirds, I don't know the layout of the dungeon (or, if I do have the map, I haven't looked at it for some time), but I'd try and slice it into thirds either based on creature location, room s...

As for new monsters, well to put it simply, I'm a thief. I cheat and steal. Why rack one's brain trying to invent the new when you can convert the newest? I wouldn't recommend this for a commercial product or a product like RouM due to the inevitable panty twisting that would result, but I enjoy con...

Re: Halaster is in love...

Varl, you're the expert on these things...I got the FR Deities & Demigods book, and Powers & Pantheons . Love both. So much detailed info! But is Demihuman Deities worth getting? I'm not all that impressed with the various dwarven and gnomish gods (they all seem the same to me), but I'm won...

I've always been the opposite, Mira. I like the flavor defining my NWPs. I never liked the uncertainty of making a rule decision on the fly over some NWP, and then hoping I either remember how I did it last time or write it down and not lose the note so I remain consistent. I don't trust my memory t...

Sorry to hear you're sick, Hal. Get well soon. As for your post, I can't agree with your thoughts that AD&D is perfect. If it were truly perfect, I wouldn't have as many house rules as I have. Then again, I'm a born tinkerer when it comes to AD&D's systems, always looking for a better way to...

Tawnos, that is SICK, and I totally mean that in the positive vein it's sometimes made. Here come the questions you had to know were going to come... 1. How much time did it take to make? 2. How delicate is it? 3. How do you store it? 4. How does being merchant marines or pirates suit your players? ...
