    Narrowlands Campaign

    This is just too much fun, poor stupid thief. Good writing, keep posting and I'll keep reading.

    Seriously, though, do you prefer homebrews?

    I also must include myself in the "homebrew" catagory. I have ran the same world for over 10 years now, and it all started with a small tower on the edge of civilization. I will read anything to gain "inspiration" for my world and how to progress it and add to it. So far about 112 years have...

    Have you ever had an NPC surprise you, when you are DM?

    All of my NPC's like yours seem to have their own agenda and life. My players treat my NPC's with a good amount of respect because they are just as alive and part of the game as any of the players. This has lead to many episodes of banging my head on the table when the PC's forget or do...

    Caravans / 3 Days to Kill

    Some ideas I might go with besides the good ones you already have... 1) Someone in the caravan is smuggling goods or spices (a poison merchant perhaps) 2) Someone has captured a "pet" and the mother comes looking for it... (along the monster lines you were thinking) 3) A merchant's daughter...

    A History of a World.

    First off, I like the history so far. Having said that, I would like to agree with some of the others and ask: Where are the villians? What obstacles are set up for the players? How is Magic viewed in this new region? Is it feared because some thought it caused the old drought? Is it...

    Mapping Techniques

    Just a comment on soaking your paper for the aged look. I have found that using tea bags works better than coffee, especially on heavy stock paper. I usually do about 20 sheets at a time, so they stay flat enough to run through the printer afterwards. Depending on the shade you want, I...

    Good Spouses

    I just hit the three year mark in our marriage and my wife has always been supportive of my gaming, even when she didn't understand what it was. Recently I finally got her to come play with my group. You can read her exploits as Aurora in the SMALL BEGINNINGS story hour, but even though she...

    Silver Golem - Help Needed!

    I ran a campaign where the big evil bad person was attempting to build the ultimate golem. The party actually worked for her at first as she had them searching for artifacts to stop an evil that she lied about. The artifacts were really the components of the golem. The artifacts were a sword...

    Ice, Luck and Honour

    Except for the sidekick thing...you've got it the wrong way around. I also applaud your ability to stay in tense and your detail. P.S. Diety attention is always a fun thing....Enk still has nightmares about the things I've done to my group. Make the DM's of the world happy and use your power...

    [ENWWC] ENWorld Writer's Circle Story Hour!

    [ENWWC] ENWorld Writer's Circle Story Hour!

    Hello everyone, I just wanted to get on and let everyone know that I will be posting very soon. I have been caught up with Enk on the small beginnings story hour (We had a softball tournament and got behind) and I also welcomed my wife back from her trip from hell. I am in the second rewrite...

    [OT]Would you be interested in group writing fiction?

    What about an item that changes shape or is semisentient or controls the posseror? I think the item should be something that can be a focal point for any story though or just be a standard prop.

    [OT]Would you be interested in group writing fiction?

    Since I haven't poked my head in here yet I thought I might as well jump in and say HI! For the record ENKHIDU is, was and always will be my sidekick and not the other way around as he previosly tried to state. He will be tortured by mean angry gnomes for his insolence. I would also like to...

    Terrible News...

    When the dice go silent all the worlds shall mourn. May the next roll be to their memory. My sympathies and prayers.

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    This campaign started about 6 months ago but I just graduated (yeah me) and now I have time to work with my sidekick Enk. We have wanted to do this for a long time. We have other campaigns that we want to try to get published. So far we have managed to do about the first half of the first gaming...

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    DM Chat. These are my favorite moments as a DM. The ability to banter in character with the players as they are roleplaying their characters for the first time. They know how they want to play the character but it is not that easy when they have to interact with other also staying in character...

    Summon Monster... check it out

    This all seems viable to me except the part about teleporting to where your enemy is. It is my understanding that the summoned creature needs to stay within the spells range. If there is another ruling that I have missed I would be grateful to know where, but this is the ruling I have used in my...
