rounser - I appreciate the advice - I can tell we do come from different points of view and that's cool... My own design is a world setting, so it's probably bigger than you would like, and I'm definitely in the school of slower advancement (I'm pretty much devoted to C&C now). But I take to...

Glyfair - That's probably why I find Dragonlance the most problematic - it's great story and so many great books, but no way to engage without dealing with enormous "canon."

rounser - by Micro do you like to see details (including stats) of encounters? I ask because in creating a generic setting that can be used in a variety of settings that drifts into system-specific crunch. or do you just mean basic information on locations and context of dungeons, towers...

Oh, and the fact that a torential downpour might affect someone trying to set off a burning hands spell, even if it is magical. John Maddog Wright

The important two things are flavor (a sense of the world actually moving about them) and opportunities - which is what festivals offer in the possibilities for adventure hooks through meeting various people gathered in a central location. The biggest drawback is when you are trying to convert...

Greetings - I am currently developing my own campaign setting and after reading various threads I wanted to put a call for ideas as to what different people like in their campaign settings - both published and home-grown. I purposefully want to avoid phrasing like "what's a good" setting...

I agree that Eberron would probably not be what you want. I've run Kalamar and used one of its series (The Coin series) and another larger module, as well as my own-designed campaign where the characters started off as escaped slaves at 1st level with defective equipment and unreliable spells...

I was browsing through this thread because I'm actually in the middle of designing a campaign setting and plan to market it, as well as writing adventure modules for it. I asked the illustrious Mr. Gygax for some advice in "good" design, and he said something pretty basic that I think fits...

While not "perfect" - and guess what, no adventure ever is, certainly not my own homewritten - it was the arrival of Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury that got me back into gaming. These modules were the 1st products in years that took me back to the early 80's, and I used them as well as the...

Thanks for the message - I understand and have to agree with you that it just really matters to the individual gaming group and that reminded me that I'm really just making the world that I'd want to play in, and that's good enough advice for me. I think the same can be said for so much of the...

Good morning Gary. First off I wanted to say I've finally gotten all my questions straight on LA - thanks for guiding me towards the rules forums. I also recently finally got my first copies of C&C books. LA most definitely appeals to me as a player, and I hope to make it down to Lake Geneva...

Hello Gary, I have been spending time the last two days with my new LA essentials set and have a few questions. I downloaded an Avatar sheet and have been doing character creation - I am assuming a few things on the sheet are from the full rules and not part of the essentials (Intellect...

Chronicles Material Hey Gary, I joined this thread about a year ago but got consumed with work directing plays and teaching so it's been awhile... since my wife and I live just a little ways north in Manitowoc we had hoped to come down for the Con several weeks ago but alas medical problems...
