Definitly Troublemakers, Elementry My Dear Watson and a modified Long or Short Fork When Dinning on Elf. Other favorites are How Much for Just the Dingus, Hidden Base, Delver's Delight, Breaking and Entering, No One has Soiled the Bridge and Ounces of Prevention. I'll often mix and match An...

I look forward to it. Keep us informed.

When you can go down and buy a full module for the same price as Dungeon, that's when it started to cross a boundry for me. I only have so much money a month to spend on adventures. So, would I rather get a full module or a mini module.... Guess which one gets my dollar. When I could get 4...

OGL vs Strict quality control I think the OGL has allowed a lot of modules that would never have seen the light of day to emerge in 3E. Instead of being squashed by the all knowing, all caring hand and eye of TSR, the crappy modules are allowed to go out and prosper. You get more, but it...

I totaly agree. Seems like it survived for much of it's life as a non-glossy cheap source of adventures. I always chalked it up to Wizards people that came in and wanted a slick production value face lift for all of D&D. That was fine for the handbooks and maybe even for Dragon, but I never...

Except that those 4 adventures used to cost less than $2 and now they cost closer to $15. I also wouldn't call what we are getting today higher quality than the older modules. As someone with both era's of modules, I find myself going back to the older modules much more often than the recent...

Work and life have revenge on me Hey Rob sorry for missing you two weekends ago. We showed up late, but you had already left. In the end it doesn't really matter. Work has flared up to the point that I won't be able to run that game anyway. Sorry for taking up everyones time.

I didn't like that they said it wouldn't raise prices I didn't like it because they said it wouldn't raise prices and then a little while later raised prices because of increase printing costs. I dropped my subscription almost immediatly. I liked dungeon better when it wasn't glossy as well...

I voted rogue because with a cleric and a fighter, their are plenty of people fighting in the group. The rogue will allow you to have the skills that will round out the group nicely.

Stargate On TV you might check out Stargate SG1. That is essentially a plane hopping campaign. Different milleu, but you might be able to pull in ideas for where to take the story.

Let me rephrase. There was nothing chaotic about Odo. He had a set of laws that he followed, and the laws of the government in charge of the station where inconsequential compared to his internal set of rules. There's good, there's evil and then there's my set of rules. Example: Something...

Buy him Robin's Laws Buy him a copy of Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering, by Steve Jackson Games. It is an excellent tool for newbie GM's. Talks about all the social stuff that a good GM must do to make the story fun. Also, make them read the running the game sections of the DMG in 3.5...

"Totaly New World" Not that it's bad per se, but I'm just sick of every GM with a long running campaign putting out a book based on their world.

I always liked Odo from Deep Space Nine's code of ethics. 1) There is justice, and I know it when I see it. 2) The rules are in consequetial compared to my sense of right and wrong. 3) I don't care who is in charge, they will bend to my rules of order. 4) No one is above the my sense of law.

I've seen this go both ways. Sometimes it's the players fault. They are new to the game or had GM's that thought them to only wait for the story to come to them. The GM needs to realize that these players are going to need special care and feeding. As a GM, you get rid of this by rewarding...

Are we on for this weekend?

I also have one or two other people that have contacted me privately about gaming. So, the only thing left is to set up time and who is GMing. Remember, it's me and my wife, so that's two players here. 3 PM on Saturday works fine for us.

I think the things that engross someone in a story don't change just because you move from high to low magic or back. Good character developement, proper plot developement and a sense for the heroic should be present at all levels of gaming. If you want to engross your players, make them care...

And I was hoping I was on your ignore list. Oh well.

Odyssey Sounds like that Odyssey campaign was a complete dud. Just proves a point about low magic. I mean the DM started out with a whole ship load of players. Then focused on just one character. By the end of the campaign there was no one left but Odysius. I think the players voted with...
