I like the idea of having a few undead animals pop up. Especially since undead are an extreme rarity in this world*, it should really freak out the players, and possibly throw them off track. The world is “high magic, where people can afford it”, kind of like technology in our world today. The...

In one week’s time, my PCs will end up fighting in a slaughterhouse at night, while a group of bad guys try to destroy and disable as much of it as possible. (Trust me, there's a reason). I’ve searched online, but couldn’t find much in the way of maps of slaughterhouses, and am having to rely on...

What I did was divide it up into two packets: One dealt exclusively with house rules, character generation guidelines, class/race restrictions, etc. That one had only brief explanations for certain rules. The other packet was the background stuff, divided up into chunks of 3-4 paragraphs each...

I had a character who was aiming towards Hunter of the Dead (it's from Defenders of the Faith, I'm guessing it's a renamed version of the one you mention). One adventure, we had an encounter with a vampire spawn, and ended up getting in a fight with it. Considering my character had a combination...

Thanks for the input. I'm also having fun working on short writeups on the major and minor gangs / guilds that will find their way into this mess... Like The Tick-Tock Boys, Eastside Sewer Lords, Red Cleavers, and the Howlers. Naming gangs is fun. :-) A mix. I've got one semester to go, one...

I don’t think any of my players read ENWorld, but just in case: This post is concerning the “Adventures in Moribia” campaign I’m currently running in Athens, Georgia. So, if you’re a player in the game (Jason, Justin, Jon, and/or Karl), hit the back button now, ya punks. Anyway. I’m going to...

I'm in a game that's working it's way through the trilogy right now, and I've noticed a couple of "oddities" about them, one of which is due to the timing of publishing and other things. The stats for the Witchfire Sword weren't published until the 3rd module came out, and apparently this thing...

Read ALL the fine print. A couple months ago, a friend of mine signed up for a credit card for Best Buy (a huge store that sells computers, TVs, appliances, stereoes, etc.). He didn't buy anything, but got a $100 "activation charge" on his account, which he ended up having to pay. Just be...

Grand Theft Auto 3 is comprable to a solid R-rated movie. Tons of violence (it IS a mafia game, after all), a good bit of language (but nothing too over the top), and a bit of sexual content (the most notorious example of which is being able to pick up streetwalkers to refill your health)...

...compilation of their most popular and memorable classic modules converted to d20, so people who have gotten into the hobby recently can now understand some of the more obscure Dork Tower / Nodwick / KoDT jokes, and so older gamers can play it again for the first time. Cecil

This is getting fairly off-topic, so I'll make this quick... In discussion with online acquaintences after the Matrix came out, one of the common theories that arose is that the humans are wrong about the cause of the war and the intent of the machine. One theory goes that humans fought humans...

For my first time DMing, I ran a one-shot dungeon crawl last night to get a feel for being behind the screen, with the PCs at 9th level. The dungeon itself I wrote up in less than a day, and while I wouldn't say I was trying to kill the characters, I did want to get a "feel" for the CRs . Some...

I know that TPK stands for "Total Party Kill", when the entire party of PCs gets wiped out in a single encounter (and thus posing quite a problem for the DM). Dunno what IRRLC stands for, though. Cecil

Re: oops Have you read the "Ender's Shadow" parallel novel and it's follow-ups? Achilles (pronounced "ah-SHEEL", as though it were French) is even better / worse. Cecil
