    Need help designing a one shot low paragon tier adventure!

    I was hoping to keep it in the campaign setting so I could add a very unique, cool location to it. A valley with floating islands, a perpetually flowing volcano that leads to a lava lake, stuff like that, which could add character to the campaign setting. Interesting idea. One of the other...

    Are Animals in D&D Too " Eurocentric " ?

    :hmm: Whether he is assuming or using sales figures, he is correct. The majority of D&D players are from North American and Europe. You do know the creators were from America, right? No where does he say if you are from outside this region you aren't allowed to play.

    Need help designing a one shot low paragon tier adventure!

    1) The cult was competing for a valuable resource called meteor ore. This resource is the basis for the economy since the cataclysm. The cult also attempted to stop any form of a peaceful civilization from forming. 2) The crown, along with other artifacts, was thought destroyed. A piece of it...

    Need help designing a one shot low paragon tier adventure!

    Last year, me, one of my friends and my girlfriend had a pretty good run playing table top. It was the first time I had played table top in many years. I usually just play PBP because it is much easier to find players and work around schedules. Our table top game stopped when my buddy moved up...

    Game fuel. Post about an upcoming session; get suggestions

    Mine current setting goes like this, levels 1-15 may be doable on the prime material plane. Levels 10-25 are doable on the Feywild or Shadowfell dealing with something that involves saving the setting. Levels 20+ are when the PCs realize they have killed someone they weren't supposed to and will...

    Dragon 405 & Dungeon 196 ToC Are Up

    I hope this month didn't come a month too late! I just got tired of the Chaos Scar and my players moved on to Gardmore Abbey. Now their is an adventure coming with a dragon that uses the cards in the Chaos Scar? Oh well, might still give me some useful ideas.

    Someel, home of the Satyrs.

    If/when it ever gets used in my game, it will be more of an exotic stopover for PCs to make it to the Feywild. ATM, my players are running through Gardmore Abbey, which I set in the Shadowfell. I've given it a darker feeling where there are trapped souls throughout the abbey. The main goal is...

    What do your PCs do with prisoners?

    The last prisoners for both of my groups let them go. I don't surrender NPCs very often just because it is a chore. They spend days arguing over what to do, and in the end, they always let them go.

    Someel, home of the Satyrs.

    Me and my girlfriend created this village not to long ago. Since the Satyrs were posted, I figured I would share. One day, a satyr was out traveling the Feywild. He was a wanderer, and rarely stayed in one place for long. He came to a lush field of rice that was naturally growing. He wandered...

    Movies, Novels, Heroes and D&D.

    I DM PBP, and I prefer not to kill of my PCs. Why? Because finding new, reliable PBP players is hard. Creating new characters takes time as well. My players know that they can die. I will kill off a player if they make a completely stupid move. However, if the whole group makes a stupid move...

    D&D 5E Monte Cook working on 5E?

    3rd Edition came out in 2000. 3.5 was a significant change that caused everyone to have to buy new books. This was in 2003. 4th edition came out in 2008. Even if you consider 3rd edition to be the same as 3.5 (which I don't since I had to buy new core rulebooks), that means the edition lasted 8...

    Autolevelling Items

    All items in my campaign scale. At 6th they become +2, at 11th they become +3, and so on. I have a low magic system, so this helps with the group not randomly finding tons of magic items while on the home world. However, when they venture to another plane, like the Shadowfell, they find all...

    I do want 5E (and 6E, and 7E...)

    I used to work full time and go to college. I was always broke so I didn't get to get all the 4E books I wanted but now that I can afford one book every week or two, I'd like to be able to collect an entire edition. Now, if 5E sucks, that won't be it, but I'm ready for a new edition to try. I...

    Deck of Many Things Replacement

    The deck is definitely weak compared to older editions. My players are starting the adventure now. I homebrew and change any published adventured, but the basis will be to complete the deck. Currently, my group entered a portal to the Shadowfell, which is where I am placing the abbey. In my...

    Where are you buying Mordenkainen's Magnificient Emporium?

    I voted if its not on Amazon I'm not buying it. I try to buy as many products as I can. I don't have an FLGS. I'm all for exclusives, but for the "Votes" sake, there is a reason I won't even consider buying it. Most of my purchases come from the points I earn via my Amazon card. If I can't use...

    How fast do your PCs level up?

    My tabletop game, 4-5 hour sessions per week for 7 months made it to just at level 11. So one level every 3 sessions. Worked pretty well. My PBP game has made it from 1-5 in 9 months and everyone seems to be happy with that progression. I think leveling depends on the group. I've read about some...

    One Encounter Per Day

    If its just for travel, just have an encounter that will require their daily powers to be used to beat it. No need to all their healing surges to be used... that would take a lot of potions for an entire group to use all their healing surges. I think my current longest fight for my 5th level...

    Gardmore Abbey is pretty darn good

    I have mine on preorder. Though I haven't gotten yet, from the reviews I am already planning on playing it. My characters underground and I plan on having them pop out somewhere on the grounds that suits the game the best.
