There's nothing wrong with them going and getting the city watch...just open up the DMG get the stats for a level 1 warrior and have them tag along. OR...you have the city watch thank them and then ask the party to stay here while they go deal with it. It's not like the police will ask you for...

I'm currently playing a character that wields a trident and net...it's fun...but as a fighter I sometimes feel like I should have just taken a two handed weapon for damage, or polearm for reach. I constantly hear: "You would be doing more damage if you had specialized in a [Insert 2 handed...

Since you seem to be using undead..maybe some sort of burrowing undead creature would be a nifty surprise? Start off the combat as per usual with a swarm of zombies..and then have the creature come up right underneath their feet. That should shake them up a bit. What about a combination of...

Honestly...we're pretty much doing this now with adventure paths. Instead of hiring someone to run the game we're paying someone to plot out an entire campaign for us. Other than time spent reading and making our own modifications we've pretty much payed someone to DM for us. 90% of DM'ing is...

I don't know if I agree with the above. You don't have to up the ring which gets you more Wound Points. You can ignore it if you want to..and it's not automatic.

That's a really cool idea! A narrow pass..where the pc's expect the same old boulder/arrow attack turns into a really cool scene. The World of Darkness Message Board has a great thread like this. It's comprised of one or two sentence hooks that you can turn into an adventure.

Thoughts The only reason I could see for a good roleplayer to react this way is if they feel that the game that was presented during character creation is not the game they're playing. For example..I've played in games where I'm told there won't be a lot of combat..more political intrigue. So...

Showdown at the Drop Point This could be fun if you're looking to bust heads. 1. Steal the armor 2. Tip off the mob that there's a new crime orginization (The Yakuza) run by a Mr. Ishimura that's going to be picking up this new fancy armor at the drop point. Your friend who runs the mafia...

The funny thing is that we decided to go whole hog and use just about any book for D&D that's out there. Not only that but we use the By the Numbers System, combined with Action Points, Iron Heroe's Token Pools, and just about anything else we want. So while the clerical side of things is...

I'm looking for a little guidance to help my group track their bonuses and resolve combat a little faster than we have been. My character and the archer of the group each have anywhere from 3 - 5 attacks per round/ depending on bonuses..spells cast n' whatnot. How do you guys handle all of...

I think the Undead are groovy. There's just something thrilling about being confronted with your own mortality. Oh..and when the zombies do rise from the grave you'll need to be prepared. Grab a copy of the "Zombie Survival Guide" by Max Brooks. It's a life saver. =P

Hmm..you know his character conceptually sounds really cool. I just think that this guy isn't being helped the way he should be. First time players should really be guided as much as possible. When you setup the first few combats the whole party should be making suggestions and attempting to...

Interesting Ok...I couldn't get a good look at the map so I'm not sure of the layout. I do remember that you said it's situated above a cliff. I'm figuring that the city is probably using that cliff to as a way to get rid of sewage. If you're lucky they probably have their sewage system...

Back image.. I'd shrink the coin a bit and place it in the center of the image. Copy the image in the left hand corner and use up the empty space by pasting a copy of it in each of the four corners. Change the colors of the lady pic for each corner. Black & white, whatever...

This looks great Quick question: How much can this ship hold? You're going to instantly drop 12,000 men with armor and equipment onto it. Will it be able to sustain flight with that kind of wieght on it? I also think you should have the ship head towards the city the PC's care about while...

Quick Tip I'm a new DM too so the advice on this thread is very much appreciated. Here's a mistake I made recently. I had a character grabbed by a creature lurking in a pool. They're struggling uderwater and the scene is great until I realize I forgot about drowning rules. I had to stop...

This might be fun... 1.) The evil druid doesn't touch him...instead he sets up two pools of water next to his victim.. In one pool the PC can see his friends as they attempt to rescue him. In another pool the evil druid is seen in the Druids grove...(If he needs to torture the Druid for...

Interesting campaing process.. What if this time you had the campaign start at the big battle? They all sit down at the table and you tell them to roll initiative and let the confusion begin. Then you can work the episode backwards as they try to figure out just what the hell is going on.

Thankyou...Midnight, Scarred Lands, Oathbound..must buy." Seriously though, thanks for all the input. I just realized that my username initials are BS...ah hell -BS

Cool idea. Since your bad guy is a Lich maybe you could have this continent plagued by Draco Liches...Your Lich friend has been hunting/killing and re-animating dragons for his own nefarious deeds. Your PC's are finding dragon lairs but no dragons..they've been inhabited by other creatures...
