Started the campaign last night. Group consists of: A Deva Avenger A Human Barbarian A Tiefling Artificer A Human Warlord We made it through the first scene, with the group making very short work, amidst the flaming ruins of Finner's joint, of the Black Horse mercs who ambushed them. They...

Question for the peanut gallery: Does the Wisp Solon appear in a source other than the adventure? I've looked in the MMI and MMII and cannot find it anywhere. I ask because I'm unclear on its appearance. Is it like a will o the wisp? Or has it taken a humanoid form (its kinship for...

I trust you've read the Thieves' World series, edited by Robert Lynn Asprin, the first four or five in particular? If not, that would probably fit the bill for Leiber-esque low magic sword and sorcery. If you're willing to go a little higher up the magic scale (but with the book still...

Great to hear. Thanks, PC. Paul

Does anyone know if the release of the WotBS 4E subscription is on schedule? The Scouring of Gate Pass was to be released this month, but is still not available. I tentatively plan to subscribe and use WotBS in a new campaign, but I've been holding off until the first adventure was released...

Thanks, all, for helping me pin this down. Much appreciated. Paul

That's what I'd hoped (and kinda figured). Thanks, Tilenas.

In the case of a multiclass monk, does the BAB from the non-monk class stack with the flurry of blows attack bonus? As an example, does a fighter 1/monk 1 have a flurry of blows attack bonus of -1/-1 (taking account of the fighter BAB of +1) or at -2/-2 (not factoring in the fighter's BAB). It...

Sad, sad news, though I choose to believe that a few lucky souls in the afterlife are even now enjoying a romp through the D-series DMed by the father of the game. Carry on, Colonel.

Awesome, everyone. Thank you kindly. I think my three likeliest candidates at this point are the linked bits from DCC, War of the Burning Sky, or the Istvin Trilogy in Dungeon. I'll check some reviews and summaries and see which will fit best. I really appreciate you all helping me out.

I'm open to just about any subject matter. I know Paizo has its various APs but those start at 1st level and run through to 20th. I think it would be hard to jump in at the midway point. So what I'm hoping is that Necromancer (could the website be any more annoying to navigate, btw?) or...

My group is soon to wrap up the Red Hand of Doom mini-campaign and I'm looking for a mega-adventure or series of linked adventures that run from 10th-11th through the 18th+ level range. The hook doesn't matter. I'll link it to RHoD somehow. I'm just looking for well-done, pre-packaged, follow...

I have a vague recollection of a spell that more or less created a time bubble, in which tiem passed more quickly within the area of effect of the spell, such that it allowed either a single caster or group of casters to come out of the spell and rememorize spells as if they had rested a night...

Fantasybookspot is another excellent site for reviews, commentary, and discussion (the most recent reviews are on the front page but much discussion goes on in the forums).

How about: "Shouldn't they consider it pointless and stupid to try to stop the troll rampaging through the city streets? After all...." Sheesh. Tough crowd. :)

See, I find it persuasive and here's the reason. In any given day, Elminster (or any high powered individual we'd care to name) sleeps, eats, hits the loo, smokes his pipe, prepares his spells, tends his garden, discusses the weather with friends, plays a game of chess, reads a book, and...

One of the best market guides online is at Ralan's.

I hear that position a lot, SR. To my ear, it sounds exactly like this: "My current "to read" list is a thousand books long. Books clutter my house. I'm swimming in books. They're all literary fiction. None are genre fiction. I tried genre fiction, read quite a lot of it -- mystery...

My short story, "The Signal," will appear in Horrors Beyond II, from Elder Signs Press (it's got a kind of Lovecraftian vibe). "The Spinner" will appear in "Sails and Sorcery -- Tales of Nautical Adventure," from Fantasist Enterprises; and my story, "Confession," recently appeared in Dragon...

I haven't had any ideas shot down, but that may be because I have written primarily character-driven stories, where the "idea" is more about character evolution than an "gib event" type plot. I've never gotten an assignment, as such. The process has been much more organic. More like: I tell...
