Oh sure... I do all the hard preliminary work, and then you throw in a few ideas and claim it as your own... :p But seriously, glad you liked my base ideas enough to give me input, let alone want to claim it for your own. It means a lot to me. We'll have to compare notes and see how our...

That's frelling amazing... and it adds a GREAT twist to the "raising of an army to battle Cormyr" that I wanted to do in the first place... Heh -- This is fun.

Hmm... seeing how this could work... so let's try this: The followers of Elistraee have seen a portent of dark things to come. Things are too far into motion to be stopped, but contingencies can still be arranged. To this end, they disguise themselves as Cormanthor drow and attempt to kidnap...

That's a great idea, but I'm having some logical problems with it... If Alec shows up first, then Azoun is captured, it's going to look like Alec did it in order to get himself on the throne. And Alec's as clueless in much of this as everyone else. If Azoun's kidnapped first, how can I make...

14th level... the groups' been playing too much Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark lately, and they're all gung-ho for high levels now...

I've finally gotten to a point where I'm happy with my various plot threads and how they connect together. As such, soon I will begin statting things out so the gameplay can begin. Before I did that, however, I wanted to show them to all of you folks one more time and see if there are any...

And on this note... I was thinking. I might have him start out as just his human self. The lich thing I going to be too hard to hide regularly at first, given all the spells you can use to see through illusions. So here's what I'm thinking now: He's human when they find him -- he's the heir...

He's in prison because he hopes someone will rescue him and he can get them to take him home... it's a lot less suspicious-looking than him just walking into Cormyr's front door and saying "Guess what? I'm a long-lost heir to the throne who just walked here all by myself and have no good excuse...

Well... one of the things I was kinda thinking of, in the interest of MAXIMUM dramatic potential, was this: Our first game session opens with the pcs in a dungeon (the prison kind, not the standard D&D kind). There is another prisoner with them, a young man, who offers to help them escape if...

So here's something I was just thinking of: how do I keep my little lich buddy's facade hidden from my players? They're the savvy kinds who have things like Arcane Sight permanencied on themselves... I was thinking of a combination of Misdirection and/or Nondetection, but I'm not sure -- what...

So, I started working on my Forgotten Realms game again. A while back I'd asked for help with ideas on both this forum and a few others. And I think I've finally got what I want to do. There is a lich. A powerful, dangerous, as-yet-unnamed lich. Through the use of enchantments and items, he...

Recently, I remember hearing something about a sci-fi novel (I think it's recent) that sounded interesting... I think it was described as a cross between Terminator and the original Alien wherever I read about it, but now I can't remember where I saw the description or what the book was called...

Thought I'd add on to this thread what I think I've decided on for my big episode 10 season finale, plus a rough outline of what I want to cover in season 2... 10: Loki (the System Lord in the Asgard body) has attacked the Asgard-worshipping world of Cimmeria. Apparently, he's managed to...

I've not seen much of Season 6 yet (I plan on getting the DVDs soon), so I was unaware of the Ambassadors thing. However, it doesn't change too much. Change "before China finds out about the SG program" to "before China uses the Goa'uld as a bargaining chip to gain a more active role in the...

So, borrowing a note from British tv, I've decided that the first "season" of SG-11's adventures should be 10 "episodes." We just finished #7 the other day, so we've got 3 more to go. I've got a lot of high-concept ideas and major ickies to throw out, so I'm curious how these sound. Bear in mind...

I want a monster manual that's not the core one, and I decided a while back that the Creature Collections are not for me... I've narrowed it down to these two, but I can't decide... what say you all?

Well, it's equal parts me praying my ass off and them finding out that "Von Doom" can kick their collective asses all over Toril without breaking a sweat... at least that's the plan...

Long term, with recurring villain I'm shooting for shades of grey here. Now that's just rude. I'm trying to keep this in mind as much as possible, but they always find some way to trip me up. Already thought of this one -- I was looking for something a little less ordinary than the...

I'm currently in the planning stages of a Forgotten Realms campaign that will start at 14th level (we've all played a little too much Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark lately), and I'm having a hard time deciding what to do with it. I know I want them to have a main antagonist -- a...

I've been working on a high-level Forgotten Realms game for a few days now... one of the things I want to include is some Realm management stuff, as well as some neato mass combats. The problem is, I can't decide which one of these two books I want to get for that. What's the popular opinion?
