I guess my main question is are there any dates when submissions for events needs to be completed by, or is it going to be pretty much a case of filling all available slots until the convention starts?

A few points that I dealt with while running this encounter. First off, whether the PC's are in the bar or their room, they are likely to be caught unawares. This means no armour, possibly lacking certain key items. This depends entirely if your players have their characters wandering around...

The following post was from my DM's notes. I was in the process of writing up my own journal entry, but he grew impatient and beat me to it: Session #2-3-The Forgotten Legacy 4th of Planting 594 CY With matters settled and an advance of gold the party purchases some supplies from a nearby...

An now Caelam steps up to detail his own experiences.... Session #2 4th of Planting 594 CY I slept … how odd it is to think of sleep… poorly last night. During my trance I fell into a rare slumber. There my dreams were haunted, plagued by shadows. These were not the memories of childhood I was...

This first post was made by our DM, and as such contains none of the personal criticisms you will find as Caelam chronicles the story. Session #1-The Forgotten Legacy 3rd of Planting 594 CY The party came together, while on the road to Istivin, each with his and her own goals and desires for...

About a month or so back a friend of mine (Savage_ScreenMonkey on the Paizo boards) started a new campaign based around Sterich and the city of Istivin. Drawing from the Istivin trilogy of adventures in Dungeon #117 - #119, as well as countless other sources, the campaign finds our party...

No this is pretty much the case. Basically if a low-level cleric were to try and switch deities he would be out of luck. I could always lower the skill pre-requisites however, since taking levels in this class would be more a result of role-playing elements than the mechanical restrictions. My...

Spell Focus [Good] might be a good ability to add in there. I don't think Smite Chaos and Detect Chaos work since I was hoping this prestige class would be more generic on the Law/Chaos axis (for example, it could work for an ex-cleric of Nerull converting to Pelor as well), but maybe it should...

While true in most games, in our campaign a simple case of switching deities and an atonement spell would not be enough. My DM feels (and I do agree with him) that changing gods should be a long and difficult process. My other option would be to switch deities and spend several levels as a...

Some background: I recently begain playing in an Age of Worms campaign. I'm playing a Lawful Neutral (border-line evil) cleric of Hextor. My goal, over the course of the campaign, is to eventually redeem my character and become a devout cleric in thye service of Heironeous. My DM has...

These examples you cite are, in my opinion, perfect points supporting Harrison's argument. First to address Jordan and Goodkind. I think others have already offered accurate criticisms of their work. The fact is, the "world-building" does little more than pad the books with pointless detail...

This is a very interesting campaign idea. In fact, it sort of fits along an idea I've been toying with for a while, attempting a campaign without the standard core casting classes. In the campaign I've been working on, I would like to eliminate all core casting classes, but leave options to...

Yup, adding in my agreement with everyone else here. For a long time I was burning out as a DM. I had very little time to prep any games, and my campaigns kept stalling or falling apart because I just couldn't get enough matieral ready. Since we started playing Shackled City, though, things...

snip I think one of the issues is that the balance (and tailoring) talked about here really apply to the game mechanics that form the backbone of the game. Mechanics in D&D cover a lot more than just combat, since they also cover social interaction between PC's and NPC's and how the PC's can...

This was my second Gen Con and I had a great time again this year. Highlights Getting to actually get in a serious 20+ hours into my own Shackled City campaign with my gaming group (all but one member was at Gen Con this year). It was a good way to catch up on gaming time missed in july...

Well they should be at Gencon because I'm signed up for one of their games on Thursday night. I think most of their games at gencon this year were being held late at night (10 - 2am) The game looks fascinating, very free form and you're right, the jenga element does seem like it'll up the...

Yes, we refer to it as the "Egg Incident" This was a few years back with my ex. She had insisted on joining the game so we could spend more time together. I agreed. She rolled up a druid and joined the party. At this time the group was investigating the ruined dungeon beneath an ancient...

I was also considering increasing the number of feats across the board (PCs and NPCs) but I'm worried about the amount of extra work it takes. Since I only have a limited amount of time to prep adventures (hence why I am currently running Shackled City) I don't want to have to spend too much...

The people I game with are my friends. While most of our social activities are gaming related, we do get together for movies or parties from time to time. I would find it hard not to become friends with people I hang out with at least once a week (if not more often) doing something I really enjoy.

Yup, as long as we don't get stopped at the border for too long, but we have a feeling at 7 people under 30 in a minivan are going to get pulled aside and searched. I think we'll be happy if we can keep the search to under 2 hours and avoid any body-cavity checks :) So we're basically...
