    Greetings! Indeed!:) Hey there Sword Dancer!:) Well, as to "High Magic" campaigns, much of the previous advice and commentary are quite excellent. As to some ideas about running High Magic campaigns, there are some thoughts in good order; In a different thread about "High Magic" campaigning...

    Going Down the Road to Hell....out when?

    Greetings! Thanks very much for your interest, BlackMoria, thanks very much. Also, mmadsen and Emirikol, thanks as well my friends for looking out for me.:) Unfortunately, the market for adventure modules isn't very strong. Companies change focus and have to evaluate their resources on a...

    Do you use "evil" races?

    Greetings! Hmmm...interesting thread, SemperJase!:) Yes, I use Evil races in my campaign. I have Orcs, Goblins, and Beastmen for example. These races are generally Evil. The fact is, most of the Good races would have all of these creatures exterminated off the map. In truth, there are a few...

    D&D is best when the magic is high, fast and furious!

    Greetings! Ash--Thanks there friend! "High Magic" campaigns are great! They offer unequalled freedom, and a dizzying array of options and choices that quite simply, "Low Magic" by its very nature, precludes. In many ways, "High Magic" expands, adds, grows, and is about many different choices...

    D&D is best when the magic is high, fast and furious!

    Greetings! Heh!:). It seems that my friend Dragonblade has started quite discussion here! It's an interesting view into different people's motivations, styles, and perspectives. I actually like "gritty" games, but games that tend to be "High Magic" as opposed to "Low Magic". Then again, as my...

    The Company of The Jade Hippo

    Greetings! Log #4 ____________________________________________________ Berrech sat there, resting against the pillar, and began to casually light his pipe for a good smoke. Memories of his childhood and homeland drifted before him. He missed the cool, misty forests of the enchanted island of...

    The Company of The Jade Hippo

    Greetings! Log #3 ____________________________________________________ The sound of the crashing waterfall roared in everyone's ears, and the light from the strange cavern glimmered luminously as Zerren peered into it. Inside, there were four priests leading a congregation in prayer before a...

    The Company of The Jade Hippo

    Greetings! Log #2 ____________________________________________________ The smoke from the small cooking fire curled lazily into the air, as Malabar watched carefully at the darkness surrounding the group’s encampment. The cavern was large, over 120’ long, 80’ wide, and some 90’ high. The...

    Party Conflicts and Different Moral Agendas

    Greetings! Indeed, Endur, it is a group of players controlling more than one character, as well as several DM-controlled NPC's. Chris has four characters, Chrissy has three characters, Brenda has four characters, Mandy has two characters, Adam has four characters, Louie has four characters...

    Party Conflicts and Different Moral Agendas

    Greetings! Indeed, Teifling, I may have made some of the statements by various characters somewhat more melodramatic in my paraphrase, but the gist remains accurate to what they said.:) After all, on occasion, characters do say some things that I simply cannot repeat *verbatim* here, as I'm...

    Modifying Rappan Athuk I, II, and III

    Greetings! Indeed, Melan, thankyou. I like your suggestions! The priests of Orcus shall be busy indeed bringing up reinforcements to the upper levels!:) The party should experience sheer terror!:) Gotta love it! mmadsen: Hey there! Yeah, the larger force will of course be seen by the defending...

    Modifying Rappan Athuk I, II, and III

    Greetings! Modifying Rappan Athuk I, II, and III I am running a group of about 25 characters of approximately 4th level, composed of both player characters and non-player characters. I am contemplating running the group through the Rappan Athuk series of modules, and I thought it would be...

    Dragons, Dragon Lairs, And Defenses

    Greetings! Dragons, Dragon Lairs, And Defenses Dragon lairs in published products always seem to be lacking. How do you approach creating Dragon lairs in your campaign? It seems that Dragons should have highly developed defenses for their lairs, as well as themselves. Of course, it also seems...

    Titans And The Campaign World

    Greetings! Titans And The Campaign World I use some Titans in my campaign, and they rule their own kingdoms. It seems that Titans are hugely powerful, and very skilled, and yet also very intelligent. Titans should be heavily involved in the local area's politics, should they not? What are the...

    Elves And Levels

    Greetings! Elves And Levels It seems to me that elves, with their incredibly long life spans, should often reach much higher class levels than the non-humans in the campaign, because if a human can reach 20th level in ten, twenty, or thirty years, how high would elven adventurers be after...

    Deploying Golems In The Campaign

    Greetings! Deploying Golems In The Campaign Do you like Golems? How do you use them in your campaigns? I think that Golems can be excellent additional muscle and defenders for evil forces, but also, player characters can build and deploy Golems with great effect. The Runic Guardian from MM2...

    What Is Wrong With Sylvan Creatures?

    Greetings! What Is Wrong With Sylvan Creatures? I have noticed that through many observed conversations, apparently many people don't like Sylvan creatures. I often use creatures such as Sprites, Brownies, Nymphs, Dryads, Satyrs, Centaurs, and Treants throughout different areas of my...

    Annoyed with City of the Spider Queen (SPOILERS)

    Greetings! Hey there Green Knight!:) I would also say that even though cohorts get a share of the experience points, they are worth it in the long run. The recruitment of cohorts provides, as I demonstrated, not only additional "firepower" as it were, but also increased operational flexibility...
