We just completed the first module "Shadow in the Sky" - playing under the PFRPG system (with conversions of the encounters by daemonslye on Paizo's boards). Overall the adventure went really well. We completed in 4 x 4 hour sessions, without doing the "set piece" adventure. Three out of the...

Ultimately there has to be some "sequencing of events" in an adventure, assuming the NPCs aren't static. If the NPCs were static, I think that would be a site based adventure. L2 - Assassin's Knot (DnD 1E, TSR) There is some information of when individuals will take certain actions...

You can PM me if needed for short-term hosting (I still have a student account at a university I can still use until May 2008 and has web access). You can also look into various online free hosts: Google Docs Geocities I've used both of these - the docs.google.com site is nice because of no...

T20 has a free "quick start" PDF. It only contains one class (Merchant) but enough of the basic rules to get a game or few out of it. Free T20 Trial PDF

I'll join the "I think it's rules-medium" bandwagon. There are heavier weight rules systems out there. DnD 3E (d20) seems to be about in the middle in terms of level of detail overall. In terms of combat options, I'd say it is heavier than most (but not all, by a long shot - HP makes it more...

I'll echo the "Savage Tides" adventure path, especially the first portion through "Tides of Dread" (very coherent plot and build up - the rest integrates well, but isn't my personal style as much - I'm less fond of planar hopping adventures) If you're up for upgrading old adventures, the old...

A leader/buffer type would be good, as several of the adventures give the opportunities to... ahem... acquire and employ allies. Good diplomacy will get people more allied and bypass some combat. If the leader-type can do buffing, all the better. If you get involved in more RP (utilizing the...

My wife, who has been so gracious as to feed my hobby in gaming, was wondering: "why aren't there unicorns, pegasi, faeries, or other fantastic good creatures. The adventures seem to have lots of evil creatures, but where are the good ones?" I think she had a good point. At the moment, I do...

You obviously need a ziggurat, pyramid, or other structure which "helps you focus magical energies". The benefit is that you also get to build the dungeon in this as part of the design.

My father introduced me to gaming with AD&D1e in 3rd grade (8/9 years old?). Our fist adventure was U1: Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh Still a favorite.

Morality of the act likely depends on the nature of the conflict between the PC's state and the lizardfolk. If the lizardfolk consume sentients, then leaving the lizardperson alive would not have been a good act. Consider the oft-mentioned "Geneva-Conventions" in this thread. Those provisions...

Probably not, as indicated here, Traveller5 is probably going to be the next licensed version of the game. While I liked the OGL/d20 version, there is something about heroic fantasy that didn't translate as well fro me when I could have a TL-15 FGMP that could obliterate most medium/large...

3rd sentence, adding BAB to oppose a feint is part of the SRD.

KQ was print from the first issue (I have them). Issues 1 and 2 are completely sold out, issue 3 still has some print editions remaining (checked www.koboldquarterly.com just before posting). He is still selling PDFs of all issues. My understanding from posts Wolfgang Baur has made is that...

I see your points. I guess I feel that Dragon and Dungeon were more in the HBR category because their were niche publications with a fairly fixed audience also. Of course, HBR is probably considered to be an "essential publication" for people involved in executive leadership. If the demand...

From www.d20srd.org on Dominate Person: "because of this limited range of activity, a Sense Motive check against DC 15 (rather than DC 25) can determine that the subject’s behavior is being influenced by an enchantment effect (see the Sense Motive skill description)." Basically, they have a...

Listening to the discussion, there seems to be some feeling as to how much a magazine should cost in print, that gets into stores. However, many people don't subscribe to "non mass market" magazines (those being things like Time). Here are three that I purchase on rare occasions. These are...

My list of love them in DnDX 2e: -Clerics were significantly different from each other, more than just domain differences in 3e -2e NWPs provided for skills outside "core competencies" much more easily than 3e skills (3e puts too many "core adventuring skills" into skills, and thus forcing a...

Generally the house rules were items requested by players to either: try something new/different or simplify something too odd in the RAW. Often, we just removed rules that didn't support the style of game we wanted to play or built in some short cut. The rules in 2e weren't very integrated...

I'm also in "the editorial left me cold" camp. This boils down to a few items for me: FACT: DDI (specifically e-Dragon and e-Dungeon) are explicitly in a promotional phase by their publisher (WOTC) FACT: DnD 4E is upcoming in approximately 6 months FACT: DnD 3.5E is the current version that I...
