Thanks for the idea Jester. My players and I were going to take a few weeks break from my campaign when we hit paragon, just to freshen up. I think I'll use the old "6 months later" time advancement.It should fit in with what I'm planning. I never really considered it until now.

A friend of mine has the originals, doesn't even play D&D anymore, but still won't give them up. Portability + re-usability = awesome Tact-Tiles.

Just saw this thread and thought I should plug my Random Treasure Generator. I've been using it myself for the past 6 months and love it. Keeps the PCs guessing what they might find. Also makes it easier than making all the little decisions yourself, as there are a lot of possibilities for...

Let me know how that goes Hobo. I'm an avid baker myself, so maybe I could help you out in advocating how well the players bake the bread. I think we here, on this thread, have reached a bit of an impasse on why the players are hunkering down. It could be the DM is not giving them enough reason...

The way I see it, the DM should not just be some tool to be abused at the will and whim of the players. I, as a DM, am a player as well, and I have just as much a right to enjoy playing the game as well. If the players set up a bakery* and ignore every type of hook I throw at them (bad hooks are...

Yet Another Update Bumb: I've added some more magic items, some from the Adventurer's Vault 2 playtest, and a Tom Andre Vibeto put together a set of items from the Buck-a-Batch Magic Armors and sent them to me, so those are in there as well. Enjoy.

I guess what I really meant was that the wizard just doesn't feel like part of the team when taking these tactics. Sure the party is protecting him, and he's dealing out damage, but that's where the synergy stops. Everyone else is helping each other out with CA and other bonuses. Also, count me...

Here, I will clarify then: Running a bakery and not adventuring is not D&D. getting a group together for D&D is, at least an implied, social contract. The requirement of the DM is to come up with adventures and heroic moments for the PCs to perform, as well as play the role of NPCs. The player's...

First of all thanks for all the great suggestions, I'll definitely try and integrate these ideas into my next dungeon, which I'm just about to begin designing. By all rights the wizard should try and be as evasive as possible. When I do manage to get someone around to smack him, he definitely...

I've been a bit annoyed with the party's wizard lately. I've been sending them through a sizeable dungeon, with doors and every combat, he simply sits behind the door and attacks from there, while the rest of the part moves in and actually engages the enemy. I know this is part of the wizard's...

My players seem to have an odd habit, not unlike Station Squatting. If I'm not actively dangling a carrot in front of them, they do squat, as in nothing. They'll stare at me and and each other until I throw the hook at them. It's like they need railroading. I'll come up with a million different...

I've put my PCs through the ringer with a nasty group of gnolls that pushed the PCs into a corner, right where they could get Pack Attacked every round until they started actually killing the gnolls. That Pack Attack is nasty, espcially with the archers. I hit one PC with a barrage of attacks...

Just a quick update: I've added in the items from the latest Bazaar of the Bizarre in Dragon 369, as well as a guide to adding your own items. These can be found in the Treasure.zip file at the bottom of my page. Enjoy.

I just got my D&D Insider account, so I'll be adding in the few items from the latest Bazaar article this coming week, it shouldn't take too long. After that, yes, I will finally be getting to writing a quick how-to guide for adding your own items. Maybe if I get really bored, I'll even write a...

Update Bump: Version 2.3 released, with consumables from the Adventurer's Vault added to the parcel system, as well as bug fixes and some improvements in functionality. Enjoy!

I can work on that after I'm done the consumables Guyanthalas. The difficulty is that those lists are dynamically generated. It still shouldn't be too hard though. The question remains though, would it be better to have new items checked, or unchecked?

Hmm, not sure what to tell you there Jester. Just make sure you have .NET 2.0 or higher installed. You can check which version by going to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework, or wherever folder you keep windows in. Random Treasure Generator.exe is the file to run it you're looking for. Otherwise...

wagenejm, could you tell me what exactly were the circumstances of the unhandled exception? Does it happen any time you try and make a level 30 treasure, or just once. What was the size of the party? Any information helps so I can track the bug down and kill it with prejudice. Bug fixes are...

I think Asmor's programs are better suited to those needs wagenejm. My original plan for the Random Treasure Generator was to stick to the major sources of magic items, like Bazaar, PH and AV. I know I hate hunting around in books, especially PDFs for one item. Also printing out every item can...

Just kinda curious if anyone else is running/playing or knows of Delve Night being run in their area. I've teamed up with a local retailer to run Delve Night in his store. I've gotten a chance to look through the material, and it looks pretty fun. I'm not completely sure how we're supposed to...
