I dunno, you haven't met my players :) Really enjoying reading the setting, thanks for such a good product!

Those are the only published WotC settings. I don't follow every publisher, but I do follow Goodman because I'm using Aereth (the setting from their DCCs.. it's 3E but I'm just using the fluff anyway), and they just released Amethyst to quite good overall reviews. Magic collides with Tech in a...

I think this makes me very happy. No more telling my level 8 players, we're using the level 13 DCs, deal with it :P

Skill Challenges are something I've been struggling with in my campaign, and I'm making myself keep plugging at them, because I think they COULD be really cool. I think a large part of my group's problem with them is that they're so used to just rolling skill checks when asked, in previous...

Yeah, I guess that's what I was getting at -- with all the monsters in the adventure tools, even if you can't find the exact match, it shouldn't be too hard to find something comparable, I'm thinking. So, if the story is the thing, really I'm just switching out rules. I was just wondering if...

So I'm thinking about some of the 3.5 modules I have read about and would like to run, but my group is playing 4e. Aside from the obvious needs: monsters, checking that the encounters are built at the correct levels, treasure, making sure the rooms are large enough for 4e style combat... Has...

I don't know, I run my campaign in their Aereth setting and I'd been really looking forward to a 4e version with updated maps, etc -- I only have the electronic version of the 3.5 setting, so really was excited about getting my grubby paws on an actual set of books. As late as December, Harley...

My reason for having the numbers be lower than one might expect on ships this size was that I didn't want to have the inevitable boarding combat be unmanageable (6 PCs, plus 4 named NPCs, plus an ungodly number of rank and file sailors and pirates, my head started to hurt -- not to mention the...

Looking for some feedback on the below. It's sort of a mixed combat/skill challenge. I know the ship speed stuff doesn't exactly jive with what's been done in the past for boats, but I did base it in actual math :) I don't want to have them spend a week on the water to go less than 400 miles...

Moved to the right forum. Sorry. :)

Thank you for reading my mind and being able to translate it into actual text. I started a reply to this thread 3 hours ago that was trying to say that :) I am hopeful that druids will get some abilities that will address this issue, I think it's really OK at low levels (I have a baby level 2...

If you're OK with getting away from WotC modules, Goodman Games has a series of them that my players enjoyed quite a bit. We played the Punjar adventure path, with the Mists of Madness (I think it was a freebie from RPG day 2008(?) but it's only 2 bucks if you find it in a store) thrown in...
