Looks great. Thanks for this!

Thanks for the great input, everyone! I´ve been reading through the heroic tier adventures and two things come to mind immediately: 1 - It seems that the adventures were really not planned through. The first one creates an anticipation regarding the hobgoblins (and the Red Hand) that goes away...

Thanks, guys! Yes, I´ve been reading the modules and so far I believe they work, albeit with a lot of "customization". As Goonalan pointed out, I have every intention of making it my own campaign, stablishing stronger and more recurrent NPCs and making cities and places matter more to them...

BTW, I always tweak the encounters and the treasure, so balancing things out really doesn´t bother me. My main consern is (and always is) the plot and how it develops along the AP.

Yes, that´s exactly what I was considering. Reading through the Red Hand of Doom and perhaps weaving everything into a bigger thing, perhaps involving a 10-year span. (Then again, I may be too ambitious here... LOL) ;) But the way it seems, the main problem is that it wasn´t thoroughly planned...

Thanks, guys! I was looking for adventures that had a Frontier/War theme, a bit darker in nature (trying to emulate some Dragon Age vibe). The first adventure I came across was Heathen from Dungeon 155, which I actually liked. Someone told me Scales of War would mix in well with Heathen (which...

Hi! Has anyone played/DMed through the Scales of War Adventure Path? I´m looking at the entire thing here and considering running it, but I´d love some feedback and opinions before I sink my teeth into such a big campaign effort. Anyone had any (good/bad) experience with it? Thanks in...

My wife plays with me since we started dating, over 10 years ago. Sometimes, she is even more enthusiastic than I am (and I love her for that). I just can´t say my daughter plays with us because she´s only 3 months old. But we´ll take care of that as soon as she comes of age! ;) Couldn´t get...

When people talk about Eberron, they always point out the coolness of warforged, the nomadic bad-ass elves, flying ships and dinossaur-riding halflings. Yes, that is all very cool, but I never actually managed to get a grasp of the setting itself. I always looked at it as an amalgamation of cool...

It is that obvious, but it took me some time to start reading the powers right. I only got into 4e a couple of months ago, and at first I also had some problems. I can see where you think that Swift Charge is a continuous power, but the point to have in mind is: think of it as a power. Standard...

I second Blastin´s suggestion. Myrdraak did a very cool job linking the adventures in the Gleemax forums. His PDF not only does the job (and looks cool too), but he´s been updating the whole thing every time a new module is released. I´ll be starting my campaign with the modules and my...

Al-Qadim 3e! OA style! SOLD! :)

Hi, guys! First, I must thank Joe G Kushner for the nice complimments on my artwork. I must say that I had a blast doing this one and I was able to discuss a lot of the concepts with Chad and Jeremy. It was a fun project and I am proud to be in it! (I hope I did not annoy the guys too much...

Oh, I have good memories of last year´s GenCon (and a few strategies too). I can say that Hellhound´s strategy is definitely the way to go (Hi, Jason!) and I would add Larry´s tip into that (Hi, Larry!). I came all the way from Brazil and spent A LOT of money just to be at GenCon. At the same...

I know what it is! I know what it is!:) ... Oh, man, I forgot what it is!:( ... Oh, wait! I remembered! But wouldn´t tell it for the world... What? Two bananas? Sure! :D Best, Marcio Fiorito ("I wanna be like Hal")
