First of all thanks! Well, it's not like we're not enjoying storytelling or cool background or that passive. It's just we're both not experienced with it. Usually she's just 'floating down the river'. And I've learned to DM through PA PvP podcasts and never played myself. In our country it's a...

First of all great story! Second, I couldn't come up with this kind of stuff on the fly. I stutter and choke. I've tried random rooms with random monsters, tried to stat them out on the fly, to look into random tables in game, and it was very slow and my wife got bored. It was a disaster that...

Thank you! Hey, Quickleaf! Thank you very much. This is exactly what I needed! The funny thing about random tables, is that I'm not using them directly, another words I don't roll in game, cause it slows me down and my player is bored. But some of them just pure cool ideas you can steal from...

Well obviously. But imagine I have 1 day to prepare and no time to read books casually. What are the good sources to steal FAST? :D

D&D 4ed. I have some essentials pregens of 5th level for my wife to choose from. Going to pull some stats from monster builder to compliment minis I have and scale to appropriate level. I'd say that battles are not a problem. But would be glad to hear advice for designing combat for 1 pc I...

1 player character campaign. I DM, my wife plays the PC. The plan is to play whenever we like short session in the evening. I don't want to use any ready adventure or to invest a lot into the story or world beforehand. Want to try something new, smth other then published adventure (I'm a...

Cool, thank you! Can you tell me, which tile sets should I buy to be able to construct those encounters? I wonder if only Dungeon Tiles Master Set: The Dungeon would be enough. Or maybe you have some suggestions on that? I have erasable flip-mats but want something more special for that game...

No, I'm OK with kobolds. But there are ONLY kobolds. Look at Robot Chicken game: - talking door - magic trap with statues and magic ballista - stirges - skeletons Thats diversity! But still that adventure is considered to be good by everybody.

Thanks. But can I use Quick Start Rules pregens for Forgotten Realms adventures? Have never went beyond Nentir Vale. The only problem I have with Dungeon Delve adventure is that there are mostly kobolds. Dragon is good though ;)

I'll give it a look. And thank you for additional suggestions! Very helpful.

Thanks, I'll give them a try. Whole campaign of short adventures! Looks nice so far.

I've dm'ed a couple adventures http://www.flickr.com/photos/chr0n3/ , but still not experienced enough to design from scratch. Need help in choosing a nice adventure to run 1 shot game, through which I want to introduce D&D to my friends. Ideally it should consist of 3-4 not very long...

I've DMed 4ed games for almost a year now. Almost finished Keep on the Shadowfell, played Slaying Stone and half of Treasure of Talon Pass and a couple of Starter Set encounters (old one, not essentials). My friends, I haven't played with yet, want me to introduce them to RPG's in general and...

Hi! I'm crazy russian newbie DM. I have a question about this power: Arcing Fire Sorcerer Attack 1 At-Will * Arcane, Fire, Implement Standart Action Ranged 10 Target: One creature Attack: Charisma vs Reflex Hit: 1d8 + Charisma modifier fire damage. Any enemy providing the target cover...

I see. Thanks guys. I begin to understand the SC presentation. I guess my main problem was, that there are skill examples, there is a goal and consequences. But there are absolutely no situations described to use those skills in. So the main thing that confused me was that I have to come up...
