Oh, now that's a good one!

Have you ever had a game completely derailed by a word or sentence that you mangled? Last night, I meant to say, "The Hobgoblin responds to you in broken common". What I actually said, "The Hobgoblin responds to you in broken condom". The game was almost a complete loss after that. I laughed...

I think it is an excellent supplement and I ran a long term campaign there. The one problem that my players ended up having is that commoners are so restricted there compared to the Empire, that it becomes very difficult to A) Deal with the nobles and they way they treat you B) Deal with the...

Fine with me, I've got Goodman Games and that's about all I need.

The best option has already been posted, don't worry about sticking exactly to the map provided in the adventure. For several adventures I have pre-built rooms and have them ready on nearby table. Recently, I just stack various terrain pieces that I think I will need on nearby flat surface and...

I purchase and paint miniatures for my player's characters.

I think that this thread and your intentions could be summed up by stating that yes, people have certain problems with 3.5, but some of the problems that people have claimed to exist also have official, or unofficial (as some prefer) rules that help to address these issues. Now, with that said...

I think you probably would have gotten a much less hostile response if you hadn't listed problems that people have with 3.x as misconceptions. Some of the things you list are fixes for problems that I had with 3.x, but I don't agree that all of them are good fixes or valid reasons for me to...

Absolutely YOUR opinion. Don't try and put power behind your arguments by stating that something subjective, is indeed fact. I happen to have quite enjoyed Keep on the Shadowfell, and after reading the rest of the released adventures I'm more excited than ever to be running D&D for my group...

I suppose it's possible, if the encounters are fairly small and there isn't much roleplaying to be had.

Yeah, the nature of "encounter" is fairly subjective now.

I've run many 10-12 hour sessions and we never got anywhere close to running 20 encounters, in any addition.

Did you just make up this number out of thin air? From what I've read in designer's blogs hear during podcasts, the game is doing quite well. I think you are projecting your own issues with the game onto the entire gaming community. I've run Keep on the Shadowfell for three different groups...

I almost always make the choice to pay the extra five or ten dollars and get it from my FLGS.

I agree with your review of this and the other core adventures. I'll go a step further and say that when reading through these modules, I find that they remind me of the old classic adventures from my 1st Edition days. Thunderpsire Labyrinth already inspires the same sense of excitement that...

I honestly cannot fathom the statement about not installing .NET to use the Character Builder. I too am a .NET developer and the installation of the framework is, in most cases, fast and easy. Most people use it without ever realizing they even have it. The notion that this is some kind of...

I've been running Forgotten Realms for over twenty years and more or less own all the products. My favorites, in order of usefulness to a DM. 1)Lands of Intrigue: You simply can't find a modern setting today that has the level of details both on the maps and information presented. The plot...

It seems that in situations like this the first reaction is to blame the DM for making the combat too hard or setting up a no-win situation. It definitely does not sound like this was the case here. The DM made sure he presented the party with the proper descriptive text and even dropped...
