This adventure came out of two things: 1) a PC (Grunnok, the bugbear warden) backstory, where he and 6 others were the only survivors of a rearguard retreat of the clan, and 2) a Postcards from the Dungeon podcast about running a Noir game. This game reunited 6 of the 7 survivors of that...

In our first 4e campaign I played a stereotypical dwarf. He was raised in the human lands, and learned everything about being a dwarf from watching human comedies about dwarves. When I pitched the idea to the DM he said "so the real dwarves laugh at your lederhosen?" which exactly nailed the...

I once played an epic level womanizer in the Forgotten Realms. My followers were barkeeps and whores and children that claimed to be mine all over the world. Whenever we teleported to another city my memorized locations were always in brothels - where we would immediately meet one of my...

I want a nice, simple system so I can invite people that have never played any RPG before to my game, make characters in 10 minutes, and start gaming right away without any system knowledge at all. I already have fantastic complex games I can play with my serious RPG-veteran friends. Hopefully...

I would avoid listing "The Complete Works . . . " of anyone. Pick a couple exemplars instead. My list ideas: Singularity Sky by Charles Stross (inventor of the Githyanki!) The Wreck of the River of Stars by Michael Flynn A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge (I haven't finished this one yet...

Are you looking to create a ~1978 version, or is this an updated list? There's a lot of interesting stuff that's new, and a lot of old stuff that's dated. There's also a lot of well regarded stuff that I'm sure Gygax would have disdained. :D PS

Let me add my thanks and praise for your efforts Morrus. You've done a great job with all the trials and tribulations you've had to put up with. I appreciate your efforts. PS

They'll torch those defenses. AC of 26, likely to grant CA, means the lowest attacker hits on a 10. The thief will need a 7. The wizard has a bunch of feats and powers poured into juicing up his Magic Missile, so if he has to he can auto hit. That's how I build most of my fights, so I'm...

Thanks guys. Looking over Monster Vault gives me what I need. Calastryx is a freaking beast. I'll be using Vestapalk tho. Its powers match up better with how I want the fight to go. PS

Despite how ridiculously suck-up it sounds . . . ENWorld forums. PS

hey all, As we know, the monster math got revised in the MM3. I need a good monster for my upcoming game. In case my players are poking around, I continue behind the spoiler block I want to throw a solo dragon at them. They are level 9, there are 7 PCs, and they are a pretty formidable...

List of Characters, living and dead Originals Grunnok, bugbear (reskinned Genasi) warden Original, Retired, grizzled sergeant of the Clan army Jin, bugbear (both bugbear and reskinned human) ranger Original, Dead, expert tracker and hunter in the Clan army Kyuzo, hobgoblin (reskinned Githzerai)...

We would run a 1st level adventure. Then we would run another 1st level adventure with different PCs. Then we would pool the survivors and run a 2nd level adventure. . . "I stand atop the pyramid of death!" - said every one of our high level characters. PS

General Mog is a hobgoblin that likes his comforts and his money. Somehow he's become the richest member of the clan, but he wants to stop sending the newfound Khyber wealth out to weaponsmiths by bringing one into the clan. He has a smith in mind, and the brute squad has to go and "recruit"...

Having finally found the Khyber mines, the group encounters the ghost, the lava pits, the exploding Khyber shards, and the remaining insane miners, taken over by the ghost. This was a big, sprawling fight over the whole mine complex, chasing the ghost, that was insubstantial and phasing...

We got our asses handed to us every time we tried Secret of Bone Hill. We just did not grok how to succeed at that one. PS

In my last extended dungeon crawl I used a couple sheets of easel pads with a 1" grid. Using various sources the PCs had for information, I drew out about 2/3rds of the dungeon ahead of time. I then gave this partial map to the players and let them strategize about how to attack the dungeon and...

The group opens a secret tunnel in the midst of the clan common room. It leads to the spooky depths below the city of Graal Morth. This was a skill challenge to explore the Underdark and find the Khyber shard mines. Interspersed were a mushroom man combat that I made some terrain for (that got...

I would if I were any good at that sort of thing. Neonchameleon and The Jester are giving better advice here. PS

Those are some crazy monsters. :D I think your minion has a little too much book keeping for a minion (recharge and tracking total damage they've inflicted), and some of your powers and traits could use some streamlining, but I like 'em. PS
