Adventure ideas

[Mystearia]

Hey there folks i just wanted to know what types of adventures people are interested in so i can come up with something that i can get at least 5 people together to play for a weekend or something.
please drop any and all ideas, though i've never DM'd anything higher than 5th level without house rules before so just letting everyone know before they drop an epic level idea on me

Not to derail your advert, but I'd be curious to know how many people have run games beyond that level without house rules of some kind. I'd think that customization of the game is a common occurrence.

hey, i like undead adventures or something along that line..spooky adventures rock..anyways, i have to agree with warbridge on rules as well. i think rules are going to be needed just for the simple fact that if there are none, you will quickly find yourself having to up the number of enemies attacking the players or throwing some ridiculously high powered creature within the first five minutes..my suggestion is to have those interested in playing to also make new characters for that specific adventure. the reason for this is to keep the characters within the standard rules and avoid overly powerful players. this gives everyone in general a level playing field. thanks

For me, this comes down to:

Define weekend...
And what rules...

Because both become pretty troublesome for me.

Ok weekend- the best time for all parties involved to get together and be on at the same time, now i'm horrid with time zones so i usually go by easter standard time myself
As for rules- well i'll leave that up to everyone involved, i'm an extremely flexable DM if i would do it then my players can do it, though i tend to slice out the skills part and think along the lines of if i wouldnt be able to do that then my character cant, the other thing i slice out is money for starting characters, i mean Its not like a 1st level char is going to be able to afford everything they might need for an adventure or journey, but i do assign money from fights and exp as well
also, if it's in a d&d book it's fair game for a character unless it cannot communicate with others or is so advertly powerful that it would wipe a city off its setting map.

Now i've started mixing D20 with D&D because i love mutants and other odd things and i also love the feel magic and medieval settings give things, so if you've never played D20 or you have and liked it i use it to some extent when i DM, if you need to know what books i have in case you are looking for something specific i have: PH 3.5, DMG 3.0, MM 3.0/3.5/2/3/4/and 5, as well as the feind folio, the monsters of faerun book, and the D20 future book along with the D20 modern book on a disk i can use eberron as well

Ah-ha i knew i sat on something!
Um well in all actuality i've not seen in a game a spell used beyond 4th level unless a monster was useing it, but in my game if the players dont mind then i want to use mutation thingies from the d20 future book, of course there are drawbacks, and if anyone needs a list of mutations and how they work let me know and i'll stick a list of them and drawbacks in this thread, and most mutations can fit into the settings fairly easily such as haveing four arms cause some monsters have up to eight i think

Heh...

I doubt I'd be an appropriate player. While I have weekends off...my saturday and sunday are your friday and saturday nights.

And well...I'd have to learn the rules...Be slow, painful and tedious and only weigh ya'all down.

I myself as i said before am a very flexable DM not only because i like to keep players interested but also because i dont really have many rules when i play or DM.
my lack of experiance is part of the cause and the other part is that i myself dont really like some of the rules in the books. also i have not turned a player away because sheesh its a game after all it's supposed to be fun not boring and tedious. but then again i know some people would rather bend a rule than ignore one so its up to you if you want to play, i dont have a problem one bit, except time, i usually spend weekends with my girlfriend and she goes home around 11pm except on sundays when she leaves at 8pm but other than that i'm free to DM whenever i've even started a story called red marsh in a series i am proudly calling D&D Future (dunno if thats trademarked or not)

Trust me, regarding combat you start having to deal with low Epic level stuff at 16th level as a wizard, and your party will hate you. Shape Change alone is that powerful not to mention you have other favorites like Wish, and Weird.

The D20 system was built on a modular idea. It all uses the same set of rules over all, but not all of the pegs match their holes.

I'd advise to copy it down into a word pad file or something, then hand the list out on a case by case basis because the Mutation/Drawback lists are fairly long when added together and not everyone wants to scroll through it when they look through a page. On another note, check out D20 Apocalypse for some more 'Fantastical' mutations and their draw backs. Book might even give you a few ideas while you flip through it.

Okies dokies folk, i have a good portion of my adventure "The Red Drift" finished mostly the Red Mars region of the area, now i know that not many people have applied to take part in this adventure but currently i'm looking for only about 3-4 players that are willing to make or reuse characters for this thing, oh and if you do remake a character or reuse one, no paladins or clerics cause there are no gods inside the Red Drift.
