Just last week, our party, composed of an incredibly varied and disfunctional lot of characters, stumbled upon the lair of a green dragon. The dragon seemed more than happy to barter with us and was cheerfully asking us what shiny things we might trade for macguffin in question. Unfortunately...

While playing the classic thief or sociopathic murderer can be fun, I have a soft spot for complex characters suffering from internal conflict. Certianly the template of the evil character has plenty of room for inner struggle. Think of the adventurer whose heart has been turned to ice...

I'm assuming that within the framework of the adventure - if not the campaign - the character is willing to work with the player characters. She may want to rule the world, destroy various enemies, or even find pleasure in killing and violence. These motives are not difficult to cover up, at...

I was giving some thought to character creation last night, when it occured to me that party dynamics shouldn't always be open and honest. Let's say you have a character that is lawful evil, but finds herself working alongside characters that are generally good. While she can be a "team...

This is the first encounter of my first adventure. I have a rough draft finished, but this will be the copy I use and share with friends. Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

Thanks for the advice, everyone! From what I'm hearing, it sounds as though I should purchase a battle mat, and perhaps a couple sets of tiles to supplement that. Maybe I'll invest in more if they work well for me.

So I'm putting together materials for my first game, and I'm torn between using a steel squire flip map (used by my current DM), and the dungeon tiles put out by WotC. I'd just like to hear everyone's thoughts on the subject of in-game representation. What are your methods? What works best...

Hello everyone! I'm a brand sparkly new DM, who has only ever played 4th edition D&D. Having said that, I'm a big fan of the old school charm that made this game what it is today, and would love to run some dog-eared classics in my upcoming campaign. So how difficult is it to update AD&D...

Thanks for the warning!

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a published adventure to supplement the (first) 4th ed. Dungeons and Dragons campaign I'll be running, and I'd like something with a great storyline and fun action. I'm intrigued by the adventure "Anointing the Seer" by Unicorn Rampant Publishing, but I noticed...

First off, thanks for the great replies everyone! I'm sure I'll love it here if everyone is so helpful. Plane Sailing, thank you for moving the post to a more appropriate spot. I absolutely understand what everyone is saying about letting the players create the story. What I like so much about...

Hello everyone, This is my very first post on the Enworld forums, and I'm relatively new to the world of dungeons of dragons. I love the game, and it's become my favourite way to unwind from the stress of university. At the moment, I'm very comfortable playing a character, and wouldn't...
