    Who Has Actually Played/Run Burning Sky

    Just curious, but has anyone done The Mad King's Banquet (adv. 4) yet? My group is starting today, and I was just wondering if there were any thoughts on it. Reading through it, I found the weather change from constant rain to absolute deep freeze a little jarring, especially since the time...

    Some Nintendo DS art.

    Medic! I think we've had a chupacabra attack! :eek: Getting back on track, anything new to share with us, HD? Also, what kind of homebrew card / device do you use? After doing some google & wiki searching, I found some good stuff, but I have to admit to being a bit overwhelmed by all the...

    Reality Deviants Announces Dark Harvest Adventures

    Sweet, I love horror themed adventures, and Mother already sounds creepy. Any more info on your initial release that you can share? Thanks! ~CE

    Some Nintendo DS art.

    I really like the one that looks to me to be an angler fish head on. Wonder if that is the last thing its meals see... Regardless, very cool, and thanks for sharing.

    Some Nintendo DS art.

    Wow, I want to be able to draw stuff on my DS now, too. Those are pretty cool. :D ~CE

    Experiences with Monster Manual V

    In my War of the Burning Sky game, my players ran into a Sanguineous Drinker, and I must say, I really liked how it went. For a CR 5 Undead, it is pretty nasty, and it has the hit points and healing ability (via Blood Drain) to really stick with a longer fight. A single Drinker and three basic...

    Your First Character and their impact

    I didn't start playing until AD&D came out, and my first character was a Human Paladin named Vortex. I still cringe at my grade school naming schemes, with such greats as: Sword, the human fighter, and his brother Lance, also a human fighter. :) Anyways, ever since Vortex, I've had a soft...

    Shark Week Starts Tonight!

    I did, and I thought it was fairly interesting, though I thought it somewhat odd that they combined real survivor testimony with dramatized testimony from the navy's hearings on the sinking. Wierdness. If you're interested in the subject of the USS Indianapolis, I read a good book about it a...

    Who Has Actually Played/Run Burning Sky

    I definitely do use them, but I usually just forget to mention them in my logs. The group has quickly learned that when Crystin has one of her visions, they should pay attention. Especially after the vision she has before Indomitability sends the fire stags to test the party. After that...

    Farewell, my Friend

    Like others, I would like to express my unending gratitude to all who were involved in making Dragon and Dungeon staples of D&D. I wish you well on all your endeavors, and while unlikely, if any among you make it to Iowa City, Iowa, look me up so I can buy you a drink! :) ~CE

    Who Has Actually Played/Run Burning Sky

    Gulp...I'm guessing that should be all kinds of interesting for the players who are there... Hopefully you have an extra tank to do, well, the tanking. My group doesn't really have a true tank, and they all have pretty abysmal ACs and strengths, so barring the orcish monk, Indomitability was...

    Who Has Actually Played/Run Burning Sky

    Yay, my group finally finished adventure two tonight. They got a lot done, and boy was the final battle scary at first, with the party's heavy hitters whiffing on Indomitability and him just tossing PCs and Seela around like rag dolls. However, a cheer went up when the elven commander, who...

    Contemplative (Complete Divine)

    If the character is Lawful, a Marut or any other Inevitable would work. If Chaotic, I don't know, maybe a Slaad?

    Ultimate healer

    Depending on what level range you are talking about, a Shugenja isn't terrible. Shugenja with access to water spells can cast Mass Heal as an 8th level spell at 16th character level. Also, with their huge access to knowledge skills, they can easily qualify for both Augment Healing and Magic of...

    WotBS Running WotBS with 6-7 players

    I've got a group of 6 right now, and I haven't really needed to change much. I threw in one extra encounter before they started the second adventure just to make sure they would be appropriately leveled. As far as group optimization, my players are about as un-optimized as you can be, so don't...

    Random Encounters in Adventure Two *SPOILERS*

    Ok, so some thoughts on how things went. The party bypassed the tower on the bridge altogether and headed straight for the temple of anyariel. They noticed the bodies in the tree, but chose to give them a wide berth. So later, whilst exploring the town, they find the den of the krenshar I...

    Random Encounters in Adventure Two *SPOILERS*

    Not to derail my own thread, but I like the shugenja we have, but thats sort of because we set the game up to focus on them as the main healing class. It's working out good so far, and I shudder to think of the time when the PCs make 16th level and the shugenja gets mass heal as a spontaneous...

    Random Encounters in Adventure Two *SPOILERS*

    Well, We've got: Elven commander from Shahalesti who venerates Anyariel (won't that be fun when he finds out what happened to the forest) Human Shugenja who worships the Tide Reaver Orc monk who intended to join the Inquisitors and then decided they weren't for him Human rogue from seaquen, , a...

    Random Encounters in Adventure Two *SPOILERS*

    My players will be heading through the elven village in act 2 of adventure 2 tonight, and I'm sure that they will both want to rest there and also explore it for clues as to what happened to the forest and the elves. The adventure calls for some random encounters, to the tune of a 25% chance...

    Stats at Character creation

    I'm playing in a game now where we had a high point buy system for stats, like 32 points or something. It seems really overpowering at lower levels, but honestly, once you reach 10th or so the extra stats don't seem nearly as important. Sure, they are nice, and it helps a lot at lower levels...
