Hi all, Just came to report on the first play test of D&D – Defend the Dungeon. To create the dungeon, my players and I used MapTool, with the players using GM logins as well. Normally I will set my login to only see what a player can see but left it off since this is a play test and knew I...

So where exactly is this token vault and how do I get access? :)

My first play test should be this Thursday and I’m going to see how the PCs do playing a proxy of a demi-god that allows them to possess monsters. One of the things I want to figure out is if being just a spirit is enough progression wise. Thanks for the suggestion of the template – it might be...

What are the Dungeon master games? I'm not familiar with them. Thanks for the story, I'm hoping that this game gives my players the similar experience - I intend on making them name their creatures :)

/casts raise dead on thread Hi all. While I haven’t been in the forums for a bit, I have been slowly working on Defending the Dungeon. I’m currently trying to flesh out the non-combat activities of the dungeon denizens and fill out the rooms and objects available to the players. I’ve got 4...

Hello all, Thanks for taking time to read my plea. Four of us are getting together with our DM in two weeks to play a game. Two of us haven't played D&D and know almost nothing about Pathfinder, so I'm hoping you can help. We'd like to build our characters to be sort of a dynamic duo, working...

Here are some of the rules I've been fleshing out, sorry for the wacky formatting but I'm too lazy to spend a good deal of time on it today: Nests Each monster must have its own nest. Each nest must be within a lair. Monster Size Nest Size Tiny 1x1 Small 2x2 Medium 4x4...

Thanks for the feedback. knightofround I appreciate the insectoid/hive mind idea but I want this to be a narriative for a classic dungeon. What you’re suggesting sounds like the D&D version of Sim Ant – which honestly could be extremely fun. Thanks for the suggestion but I’ll pass. Ceres...

I was thinking a good mechanic for this would be to have one PC lead a group and the rest serve as that PC's minions for battles. So, in game, one player has the orc chief possessed and another has the gnoll chief, while a third has the blade spiders. When the NPC adventurers wander into the...

Sigh, formatting didnt work.

In helping to tell the dungeon narriative, I’ve come up with a couple simple rules/mechanics. First, all monsters must have a nest. This doesn’t mean that a evil necromancer is going to curl up every night in a pile of old cloth on the floor, it simply means that each and every creature must...

So I've been hammering out a few ideas to make this work. The first thing I went with is that tasks are going to either be PC controlled or NPC. The differences: PC Can react/control NPCs (if goblins foraging get attacked, they can react) Ability modifier is applied to the task NPC Cannot...

One thing I haven't mentioned above, I'm going to replace XP with treasure. I haven't decided if that's per person or a group treasure... I'm leaning toward group. For an insight to the rest of the game I see it breaking down into this: 50% in the lair doing monster things I've started to...

The big split here is that I do not want the players playing adventuring classes. If they have Fighter powers, they're going to be a challenge for the adventuring group invading their turf - that's not the direction I want this game to go. A goblin fighter is just a fighter who went with a...

Hello all, Thanks for taking a minute to read my thread. A number of my players have expressed an interest in playing D&D Dungeon Keeper Style. (Dungeon Keeper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) I'm trying to answer their request by designing an expansion for 4e that will allow them to play...
