Here's a table that I built. There is some short hand in there but you get the picture really. At this point, I only use it for when a player gets below zero, which seems to happen about once or three times an encounter (they have no healer and I try to challenge them in combat). 1 Your...

Once every two weeks. My group is all 30+. We have kids, wives etc, so it's tough to get time in more frequently.

Maybe you have Lennithon show up after the party jumps into the fray. Another possibility is having the dragon make a pass every 15 or 45 minutes and focus just on the castle until the PC's get into said castle, followed by attempting to burn the town rather than the castle. In my game, they...

He also created Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, which is a fantastic game system. I can't say enough good things about it.

I"m looking forward to this episode. I'm planning on throwing in something for Dragonspear Castle since it's right on the way, looking up the area on the internet has given me ideas for a number of minor encounters. There are all sorts of smallish things I plan on running as well: Hunting for...

Here are some of the tweaks that I put in: Episode 1: The gal who the party is supposed to rescue turns out to be Gov Nighthills daughter. When Cyanwrath issues the challenge, she runs out to defend them since it's her sister he has. The group is then taunted for letting a woman defend their...

I'm with DEFCON 1. It's given me a good, solid outline and I add or modify where needed. The Hack N' Slash blog has helped me with some ideas on refining things further and I've thrown in quite a bit of wrinkles so there's plenty of change of pace, not mention taking it from a rather linear...

How does your DM or you if you are the DM, handle what the players do with unspent wealth? Do have some sort of banking system set up or do they carry all of their wealth on them at all times? I ask as I'm very curious to see how it's being handled in other campaigns, since I likely need to...

This is a brilliant idea. If it were me, I'd include lots of persons from their past attending or possibly serving: people they've killed, family members, vanquished villains, etc.

I absolutely disagree with this but we don't play in each others campaigns, so it's ok :) The druid has zero problems with it and the specific circumstance has never come up since he always announces it beforehand.

Think of it more along the lines of a mechanic abstracting someone who's focused on combat realizing that there's a snarling wolf suddenly adjacent to them. Is it friendly, or will it attack them? Do they need to move away, etc. Another way I thought about playing it was for the druid to pass...

If you check out my original post, I listed a few things to the druid. The one in particular you are referencing is that if he Wild Shapes without announcing it to the party. Every time, he's simply stated, "hey guys, I'm going to change into XXX" then he shapes. Possible disadvantage avoided.

Anything they'll be rolling for, combat or otherwise. The idea being that party members might possibly be thrown off for a very short duration by an unannounced shape changing.

I told my Moon Druid upfront that several things will happen when he Wild Shapes: 1.) If he doesn't disrobe first, shaping into a different form can and will tear clothes/ruin equipment, ala the old Hulk TV show. 2.) If he suddenly shapes without telling his party, they need to roll perception...

LMAO!!! There will be more Sniks, which is one of the unspoken beauties of D&D: Have them save a family of Kobalds (Snik's family?) from a group of CE humans who are on the verge of murdering them. Rescue a wounded and dying animal/humanoid. Solve a mystery for a local family. Have them save a...
