Well done!

I'm going to be setting the DC's by hand for a while, based on the skills of the characters in my party succeeding at the rolls around 75% of the time. That way there's still a chance of failure with bad rolls, but the party will succeed at skill challenges more often than not. I'm hoping that...

Actually, I'm pretty sure it's the minimum amount of damage a comparable monster would do, based on looking at several low and high level minions and the Damage per Attack table under Creating Monsters. Which is appropriate, given that the minions as a group often get more attacks than a...

The players don't pick easy/medium/hard, and the default DC for the primary skills chosen by the DM is medium. If the players try to use skills not anticipated by the DM (but offer a good explanation for why they apply), the DMG recommends using the hard DC. If the DM uses the easy DCs for the...

I disagree. I was a subscriber to Dungeon for it's last three paper years. I looked forward to each issue and read it cover-to-cover within a week of it's arrival. The online adventures have been nowhere near as interesting, and the delve format makes them less readable to boot. I'm very...

Read Superhero Comics I've been reading the Essential Marvel comics, the first twenty issues of Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Captain America, Avengers, etc. Superheroes always end up fighting each other (because the villains are not enough of a challenge). Here are a couple reasons: 1...

Get a specific response from all the players. If the majority are interested, give it a try. If not, give it a pass. I wouldn't do it with my current group. They hardly want to speak Common before killing things. I would like to do it in the future. Having lived overseas, I appreciate the...

Yes, Cry Havoc can handle a unit battle (tens or hundreds) with units of wizards, outsiders, or golems. Skip does a great job of explaining the battlefield uses of most SRD spells and special abilities (extraordinary, supernatural, and the like). If you are using abilities and spells beyond...

Toric, I left you a message in the OOC thread.

Toric, I need to withdraw from the game due to an increase in RL responsibilities. Thanks for DMing. Sincerely, Derek "GruTheWanderer" Poppink

Hi Everyone, I've decided to close all my PbP games due to an increase in RL responsibilities. Thanks for your enthusiasm and participation throughout. I really enjoyed the characters, the dialogues, and the action. I'm sorry to leave the story unfinished. Please let me know if you would...

I didn't read beyond the first page of this thread, so others may have echoed this already. But if not, I second the idea of a Shackled City anthology.

Hi, All! Life is intruding on my ability to post regularly. I'm preparing for a conference next week, so I probably can't post until 10/19. See you then.

Oraltor follows the discussion, listening intently. "Ryn, you just said you think there might be a rebel base on Dantooine. The more I think about it the more that idea rings true. Surely the Empire would not send a Star Destroyer to capture a single spy. There is something larger going on...

Dyrnas did not have time to study the hand. It remained in Krug's possession until he was disarmed by Nicalon. Malikar is headed for the abandoned manor (and the Sealed Door, presumably). As far as you know Kalarecent should be standing guard there. Are you all going with him or would you...

Bellus' kukris fly out and slash at Groknar's back only to slide off his thick armor. Verra pours on the speed and manifests Time Hop. Qataria vanishes. Zelestine turns on Darian with her greatsword. She slashes the wizard twice (31 damage). The demon steps forward and flanks Groknar. It...
