I'm going to be running Arkham Horror at GASPCon in Pittsburgh, PA this weekend. I've only played the game a half-dozen times at home, so I have not played with all the Ancient Ones. Does anyone have a suggestion about which one might be the best for a 4-hour session?

Here is an article about the subject: 20 Celebrities Who Play Dungeons & Dragons

Patton Oswalt Another good link.

How about when a hero (or his sidekick) is shot, but saved by some object under his coat. It's usually a whiskey flask for extra comic relief ('cause drinkin' is funny), but might also be a Bible, a medallion of some sort, a badge, etc. A close cousin to this is the "bullet-proof vest...

A friend of mine made this... a steampunk pumpkin!

Right, hopefully those will see the light of day. The thing is the recently released 3.5 modules were already ready to go when 4e appeared on the scene. That is, they were formatted, laid out, etc. I don't think that is the case with parts II and III of Slumbering Tsar. That might take a while.

"...all three by rick Sardinha..." Actually, Rick Sardinha is the cover artist. The authors are: The Eamonvale Incursion - Nate Paul Slumbering Tsar - Greg Vaughn Demonheart - Anthony Pryor

For those keeping score at home, I wasn't 100% correct here. Actually, the only "higher is better" bit about Gamma World 4e was combat. Skill checks and such were ala AD&D 2e (lower being better).

Actually, I always wondered if Gamma World 4th edition (written by Bruce Nesmith and James M. Ward) had some relation to 3e D&D. It's the first TSR game I played that had a unified mechanic. It felt like a tweaked AD&D 2e (higher was always better, etc.).

Yep, I'm the same with Treebore. It would bring me back in the sense that I would buy some of their products (the old edition PDFs). However, it wouldn't make me switch to 4e because I'm not interested in that edition. I think PDF sales could be a win-win for them (at least 2e and earlier; 3e...

I picked "publish more older-edition material in parallel with 4e." If they started producing 3.x or or 1e stuff, I might pick it up. 4e just doesn't interest me. I can't imagine them actually do this, though. Edit: My interest in 3.x and 1e is because it is easily usable with Castles &...

Yep. I DM one 3.5 campaign and play in another. We play every other week, switching campaign every other session. Here are the materials we're using: In the campaign I DM: Player and DM Sources * Core Books * The Hypertext d20 SRD * Player's Handbook II * Various "Complete..." books per DM...

4 ft x 7 ft piece of shower board (tile board) scored off with an exacto knife into a 1" grid. It works like a great big dry erase board. Pictures here: The Dungeoneering Dad: Gaming Setup 101: A cheap, kick-arse battle map.

Another vote for "The Eternal Boundry" here. It was the only PS module I ran, but it was an excellent introduction to the whole setting.

This is a bit off topic, but I thought you might find this useful as a new DM. For generating dungeons on your own, I highly recommend "Engineering Dungeons," by Troll Lord Games. It's a Castles & Crusades product, but it really is a universal product, in my opinion...

Rappan Athuk Tomb of Abysthor Mesopotamia Vault of Larin Karr The clockwork stuff in Siege of Durgam's Folly sort of threw me, but my players really enjoyed it. I'm being DMed through Grey Citadel right now and am really enjoying it.

It's been a while since I looked through these, but I used Mithril a good bit back in the day. IRC, it has a pretty cool frontier town feel (sort of like the Keep on the Borderlands, but a whole city). Yes, I always assumed, perhaps wrongly, that the name "Shelzar" was sort of an homage to...

Joined. I like D&D 3.5, but C&C will by my system for my next campaign. It suits my tastes perfectly.

Nice suggestion. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks guys! Glad I checked back here!
