Thread Title : insanity and 3e

this might only be marginally Mystara related, but is there a 3.5E version of insanity type rules ala Geoff's article (http://pandius.com/insanity.html)?

Maybe not exactly like what you're looking for, but here are the rules for Sanity (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/campaigns/sanity.htm) from Unearthed Arcana (all Open Gaming Content). It's essentially the same rules they used in the d20 Call of Cthulhu, which were more or less the Sanity rules from the non-d20 Call of Cthulhu.

Thanks for directing my attention to this interesting article by Geoff, Stan. IMC I'd use Will saves modified by the creature's horror rating. The result of a failed save could be temporary INT loss. If the INT is temporarily reduced to 0, the character won't die, but probably develop a permanent derangement. 

This doesnt work too well with your average heroic campaign however. Ofcourse, some campaigns may have acess to easy magical cures for such illnesses.

I believe Heroes of Horror  has rules for madness and insanity, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

From what I understand, the Heroes of Horror rules use a variation of the Taint rules from Oriental Adventures/Unearthed Arcana (which, btw, are also available on the Hypertext d20 site and System Reference Document). Not sure of the specifics on how they vary, though.

yep, that's fairly extensive

yeah I've thought a couple of times when looking through the Vaults myself that maybe I should have some sort of "highlight such-and-such an article of old" type thing to remind people of things like this

yeah I had a bit of a flick through earlier, but having a bit more of a closer look you may be right - or at least it's as close as Wizards go to that sort of thing

That is a pretty cool idea. If you have time to do something like that, I think it would be useful.
