    Annoyed with City of the Spider Queen (SPOILERS)

    Greetings! Hey Green Knight!:) I'm glad that you are inspired!:) The gp allotments mentioned are what the DM's Guide says such characters come with, in equipment and magic item values. For example, the level 1 followers arrive with (900gp) in equipment. True, it isn't too much. They start...

    Annoyed with City of the Spider Queen (SPOILERS)

    Greetings! Well, mmu1, I wish you the best of luck!:) If I recall, the scenario is appropriate for 12th-14th level characters, or above. I assumed 14th level is about right. Assuming a group of four characters, with minimum of 14 Charisma, and a few of the modifiers going, each character would...

    Annoyed with City of the Spider Queen (SPOILERS)

    Greetings! mmu1: Well, others have made some excellent commentary and offered some good advice. I would say the following: (1) Good Intelligence/Aggressive Scouting Operations The party should be using their magical intelligence and information gathering abilitites at all times. The party...

    What does the paladin do when...

    Greetings! LOL! Remathillis! That was pretty funny! Cynical and jaded seems to be the path that many DM's want their paladin players to go down, huh? Tonym--indeed. I liked your post, too. I suppose, like you say, if the campaign sessions previous made such a situation reasonable, then it...

    What does the paladin do when...

    Greetings! Wow! Elder-Basilisk my friend, you said pretty much exactly what I was thinking!:) I agree fully.:) That said, on the occasions that I have encountered DM's that get a kick out of scenarios such as this, I can't help it--there's this sick, vicious, sarcastic side of me that wants to...

    Party Conflicts and Different Moral Agendas

    Greetings! Hey Barsoomcore, your world sounds quite interesting. Your players argue and fight all the time?:) It's fun to see the players sharpen their characters' views and defend them against the views of other players. I think it is an avenue for the players to "get to know" their...

    [Dragon] Lord, the cheese...

    Greetings! Thanks Bran! I'd like to think I am trying to look at this subject with as much dignity and common sense as possible!:) I can see that the Europeans have a different view of pornography and sexuality than we Americans do. That's ok, really, and it doesn't mean that we, as...

    [Dragon] Lord, the cheese...

    Greetings! Wow. You know, my friends Elder-Basilisk and Celebrim make some good points--and I of course respect you both very much. Basilisk, you and I have been friends for quite awhile, too.:) Then, my friends Barsoomcore and Meepo the Mighty chime in, and I respect them as well. Barsoomcore...

    Party Conflicts and Different Moral Agendas

    Greetings! Well, LairdRauri!:) Indeed, you play the Vallorean cleric of Vallenar very well! It has become a staple of the campaign I think! The elves usually have such philosophical conflicts with the Valloreans though! I think, as you mentioned, the characters in question are just coming at it...

    Party Conflicts and Different Moral Agendas

    Greetings! Dragonblade! Zenon! Volaran!:) There you are my friends!:) Yes, it was a great session. My players are all mature enough to engage in dramatic roleplaying without "bleeding" over feelings into a real-life personal conflict, which I'm glad for. I stress often that they should...

    Party Conflicts and Different Moral Agendas

    Greetings! Hey there S'mon! How are you? It's good to see you my friend! Well, I think it is kinda important to keep the "truth" as far as Gnolls' alignment a mystery. I mean to say is, I don't think that I want to explicitly decide the issue for players, because then the answer is out in the...

    The World of Thandor (The Company of the Bright Dawn)

    Greetings! There are both male and female players. Players often have multiple characters.:) Certainly, playing with this many characters can be challenging, and it takes a good deal of organization as well as skill in improvisation and winging it!:) Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Castles of Crystal, Wars of Genocide!

    Greetings! Well, good show! I think we were talking about *epic level campaigning* which includes *epic level characters* and certainly doesn't exclude *epic-themed campaigns*. For my own campaigns, of course, besides epic level characters, there are epic-themes throughout. If participating in...

    Dragon Subscription - UK

    Greetings! Hmmm...I am not a Lawyer, but here in the United States of America, if you, a customer, pay money for a product, and said product is not delivered, you can then retain the services of a Lawyer and sue the company for FRAUD in a court of law. Perhaps if many of you hire a lawyer to...

    [OT]Teh Aussies Have Arrived!!!

    Greetings! Hey there Snoweel! Well, Aussies are certainly good at many sports because I think they embrace rugged, violent, masculine sports. They are up for anything dangerous, rugged, and violent!:) Never fear, though, rugby is popular in America as well. Indeed, it is not as popular as...
