Thanks for all those considerations kengar - much appreciated. Another tactic I'm employing is to create an interesting party dynamic in 'who' is undertaking the journey - differing objectives, possibly conflicting personalities etc. Hence the story of the characters relationships with each...

So adventurers have gathered and are setting up to travel to the legendary lost city of 'whatever', but a huge journey must be undertaken to get there... What role-playing elements make that long journey something that is truly stimulating and exciting?

Beam me up... lol - loved your take on Shatner mistergone!! Just wanted to write and say my Lynch D&D adventure is progressing fantastically. Recent sessions have involved strange locations (think black lodge) that dissapear, the ministrations of eerie angels and a weird scene where a player...

Erebus Red Yeah there doesn't seem to be any information on a cure - unless I missed it. Well - if you want to be really clever have them arrange to meet a purveyor of rare cures at the Lucky Monkey tavern - leading them straight into chapter two 'Flood Season'.

Silent Majority I'm writing because I DON'T have strong feelings on this issue. Does that make me the silent majority - heh! I think Dungeon magazine is excellent value. I think the quality of the adventures is pretty good and I can convert most of them to my own campaign. Vile Content? I...

Much interesting reading - thanks for the nominations. Personal view on the Lucas issue - he does set up battle scenes well and I've plaguerised the 'Phantom Menace' climax a few times. Not so much the 'simulaneous triple climax' as the protege vs. master villian theme. I also think Taratino...

Character Character: Fay Race: Elf Location: Forgotten Realms Apparence: Fay is the rose of the forest, with long golden hair and the face of an angel. Born of a long noble line her expressions, gestures and posture always suggests great grace and regality. Clothes and Equipment: Dressed in...

What if you could have a celebrity director come and DM a few sessions for your group? What unique stories, moods or themes might they bring to the game? In fact the concept is not just pie in the sky. At the moment David Lynch is 'directing' my medieval campaign. The players don't know this...

This is interesting reading - sounds like something I've been looking for. Would someone mind expanding just a little on heroic paths? Sounds very Joseph Campbell (which is a good thing). What is it?

Personally as a DM I dont like to have a copy... My reasons: First to set the scene - in trying to create a 'realistic' environment I don't 'scale' adventures or NPCs that the party might encounter - the world is full of people, monsters and things that may be very easy or very hard for the...

'I give you the right to bear arms and the power to mete justice...' And so our young knight sets out in search of adventure. Fresh to the field and ready (so they think) for anything. What encounters/adventures might meet a novice knight and squire on the road?

Just digesting your comments Dagger - I think that DM's need to have the courage to call 'time-out' when the players throw them an unexpected turn. Go home, prepare for new activities based on the players decisions and come back to the table prepared to give them something worthwhile. On the...

but that is a bit unrealistic in a way - surely many intelligent creatures could 'level up' and increase in power. I;m kind of throwing the rule book out on this one and just looking at the species interaction.

Some great stuff coming in - thanks ... this place is gonna look like Michael Moorcock had a nightmare !

It strikes me as unlikely that humans would have such a predominant stronghold in worlds as full of diverse and powerful monsters as say the Realms for example. Any speculation as to what man's place in things would really be and which creatures would be running the show?
