I'm playing this under Pathfinder 1st edition. 5th edition D&D is kind of 1/10 of the money of the wealth by level it kind of looks like. Between adventures I let the players re-spend without any restrictions, they can buy any magic items they want. Favour is irrelevant here. There are a lot...

I assumed that all rings are a part of a ritual magic and share the same spell. Your ring is bound to you as part of a ritual when it is made for you and inscribed with 3 words of OBS. One of the things about the rings is that they only work for you. The core of the ritual probably needs...

Instead of allowing the player to pick the character’s spells per day, the GM does so and keeps them secret. At any time the player wants to cast a spell they announce their character is praying for a blessing. If the GM sees a spell in the list that will help, it gets cast. If not, nothing...

You need to talk to your players and work with them. I'm running a Zeitgeist campaign and everyone is an agent of the RHC so the requirement that you have that background and are loyal to Risur makes it all work. They also have other backgrounds elements as well that make them all very...

And this is why Int should not be a dump Stat for anyone

trains are simple. Ignore the real world scale and use the human scale. A train is 2 seats, 1 carriageway and 2 seats wide. That's 5 squares wide. That's your scale.

The biggest problem is that the B-Team aren't the players characters. They haven't grown up with the love care and attention of the players. It felt like something foisted on the players to do and distracted from the main plot. My players want to play their characters, and weren't invested in...

I have to agree about the Von Reklinghausen name, it's very memorable

I had the RHC offer a group insurance policy where they would price match what the players put in, and so had the players contribute 50% of the total required. That made it attractive enough that they went for it. The RHC cares about it's operatives, it's not a faceless evil bureaucracy.

Here's your hard choice Mr GM. Who are you going to find to play your game in my empty seat thereafter?

Link the players to relevant allies/antagonists and insert those into the backgrounds of the players. Offer some of them up to the players before they do their backgrounds. Surprise players by introducing some of the NPC's and link them to the players there and then (he's an old friend of your...

I've taken many of the maps and other locations (including the Coaltongue) and had the blown up and printed out by photobox.co.uk on their largest poster sized printouts. Sure I could draw them out on the battlemap, but the glorious full colour maps look great and get awesome player reactions...

The first time I cast fireball is awesome. The 47th time, not so much so.

Cults of Prax and Cults of Terror Trollpack Borderlands Back in the day when they were released they set the tone for awesome world building and fleashing out.
