This is a good example of why things need to be laid out in a single official spot in an OP campaign, and not scattered across umpteen different FB groups and forums. If an Admin randomly mentions something "official" on one of the nigh-infinite social media sites out there that is catering to...

True. Altho I seem to recall a documentary on how being a servitor to dark powers can allow you to claim a kid of your own, so there's still hope if you want both. Look it up on IMDB, I think the title had something to do with Rosemary or something...

I didn't read that as "forget," as in, "Oh, no, I forgot to get milk at the grocery store," forget, but more of a "All right, that's done with, now let's forget all about them and get on with our hedonistic, sadistic lives as we slowly descend further into madness and depravity." It was...

Never mind, then. I can only assume that those of us who have seen the deleterious (even if unintentional) effect a single over-optimized minmaxer can have on a table full of casual 'want to have fun and feel useful' players are well in the minority.

This sort of stuff has nothing to do with intent or not -- just by virtue of being a min-maxer, it can sap the fun out of the game for a lot of other players by essentially causing their 'average' character to be effectively useless in comparison. When you're running around doing your 1d8+4...

I feel like you've not actually played with a true min-maxer at your table. For those who aren't min-maxers, few things are as demoralizing and un-fun than simply not being able to contribute in a significant manner because the min-maxer simply overloads the adventure. And as min-maxers become...

Beng that thisis the key issue there, I don't see as how it would likely be problematic. I had plans to play a charlatan as well, and in preparation, i had an entirely fake character sheet done up I would have out at the table (because people are nosy and curious), but I'd use all the stuff...

Does anyone know whether they released (and possibly have a link to) a copy of Death House in a printer-friendly format (i.e., no background patterns, etc.)? I didn't see one, but thought maybe I might have missed it, since I think the previous three hardback excerpts had such a version.

I kind of assumed that with them 'behind the walls' as it were, they had likely been walled up alive at some point in their wretched past, and only when some adventurers get too close do they gather the strength to burst dramatically from their happenstance tombs. I was actually going to have...

I'm of... mixed feelings about the way they've decided to set this all up, so i'll have to see how some of this stuff works out. That said, however, after seeing some of this stuff, I'm pleased that I decided to run all the Season 4 stuff for my local group, seeing as I have zero interest in...

I would actually argue the opposite -- it says "Target Adventure Level", so I would think that it refers to the APL that the module was based around ("optimized for Xth level characters"). If it referred to the actual table APL itself based on the currently playing characters, then there would...

Sorry, yes, I was referring to the cheap little battery-operated ones (definitely don't want actual exposed flame!). I got a 4-pack at Walmart for like 2 bucks or something.

Somebody, on these boards or the old WotC one, suggested using the little cheap disposable tea lights that you can like pick up at Walmart for 50 cents each, and have that lit in front of a player (or DM) that is currently maintaining concentration on something. That way, everybody is reminded...

Lordy, has this discussion tanked. The long and short of it, Rooneg and others, is that just because a DM says they'll check their player's logsheets, doesn't mean they automatically and inevitably will disallow anything they don't immediately recognize. All they are saying is that the AL...

I'll be chopping up the map for printing purposes at some point here; if you want (and if i remember), I'll upload them here for you to use if that'd be helpful.

Ah, nice! I had come across his site, but hadn't seen that specific one in the Maps section. Thanks! Still has the numbers and such, but with the hi-res version, I might be able to work around that with some Photoshop tweaking.

That's fine. But what they are saying is that the next DM might not agree with your approach, so players should keep that in mind when choosing their spells, effects, even mundane purchases, etc. For better or for worse, that's the double-edged sword of having no verifiable way of tracking...

Sounds like they updated the adventure; I know the broom/sword commission was an error that was missed, and mentioned in one of these threads, so it's good that that was updated. I was hoping the severe drop in KB was them removing the patterned background to make it more print-friendly, but I...

Yes, they've had a couple presented there in the past. And they all have the big 'legal for AL play' graphic plastered on them. :)

I think you are factually and literally incorrect on that assertion, but regardless, we're starting to hijack the thread here, so I'll just agree to disagree on that one. :)
