I seem to be the one in the thread with the biggest issue with items. 4e items are pretty limited in power, but also in versatility. They work much better as part of a character build. I.e. this weapon, with this feat, with this power in this circumstance is great! The player chooses the feat...

Having escaped Vralkek after the "murder" of Glory, the group flees across the plains. Krusk, the new guy, is a wilderness guide. He knows the lay of the land, and starts by directing the group to one of the hunting lodges outside the city in order to buy supplies for the overland journey...

Meh. I do both of those things, and let PCs swap out items as they level. Magic item treasure is still completely boring. How many artifacts am I going to hand out? Mostly, I just don't give out any treasure, then about once per level I say "here's 5000 gp!" Which is functional, but boring. The...

In our last session we did 3 big combats with no grid. We busted out the old wargaming terrain and just measured everything. Played a little fast and loose with adjacency, and modified blasts to be an arc (90deg) instead of squares, but otherwise just ran it pretty straight. It certainly felt...

I do. Treasure is pretty boring now. This game used to be about killing things and taking their stuff - heck, it used to be about taking their stuff and you only killed them if you couldn't get it any other way! I'd love to see magic items become interesting again. PS

Had the fight yesterday. First half the dragon flew everywhere, slide everyone around (including two off a cliff) and generally scared the pants off them. Eventually they immobilized it and fought it down. Pretty much exactly how I hoped it would go. PS

The Desolation of Smaug.

Which is fantastic. :D There's enough detail to get a campaign going without stifling. I have a crappy wiki book here about my Goblins of Eberron campaign. http://www.enworld.org/forum/showwiki.php?title=Books:Goblins+of+Eberron PS

Despite running Eberron a few times, and it being my favorite setting, I rarely read those articles. I just don't need a lot more material than I've got, and there's so many different facets of Eberron that they rarely touch the things I'm doing in my campaign. I like Keith's work in general...

These are the PCs so far.

These are the player characters of the game so far.

This is the master list of all the various adventures the group has undertaken. Most of them required multiple game sessions to accomplish. Vralkek

Hopefully I can compile all my Goblin campaign articles into a book here . . .

After returning Tuktuk to the land of the living, it was time to fulfill Luuz' gek's prophecy, and get Kyuzo hitched! So we did the Amazing Wedding Planning Skill Challenge! (tm). There were gifts to procure, guests to invite, ceremonies to write, defensive preparations to manage, and a...

Here is where the game took a strange turn . . . Tuktuk, the goblin wizard, died during Kidnap a weaponsmith. His player wanted to bring the character back as a revenant wizard, and rather than just bring him back, I decided to do a session in the Shadowfell - or Dulhurr as it is known in...

This adventure was a dungeon crawl. Kesh Sharaat is a powerful rival clan. A replacement PC had acquired a secret map of a forgotten tunnel into the Kesh Sharaat throne complex - a series of extremely defensible caves deep in the Sharaat complex. Seizing the opportunity, the Clan leadership...

I've been tinkering with a campaign wiki here. I put together the list of PCs so far in this campaign. Thought I'd share. List of Characters, living and dead Originals Grunnok, bugbear (reskinned Genasi) warden Original, Retired, grizzled sergeant of the Clan army Jin, bugbear (both bugbear...

This is the matrix. Click to enlarge.

Obviously there is some kind of secret passage - an escape tunnel, for instance. This secret exit can now be used by the PCs in reverse to gain access to the interior. Since it's the elf fortress, the PCs should have access to various maps of the interior, or be able to interview people who were...
