    Introducing Eberron to Newcomers

    Awesome! Won't be able to watch that til I get home, but that seems like exactly the kind of thing I was looking for! Thanks a ton!

    Introducing Eberron to Newcomers

    What I would really like to do is emphasize the kind of Cold War theme, and how there might be a treaty, but that doesn't mean there's peace. Start small in Sharn or Wroat and by the end of the heroic tier have the Last War restarted full-scale again. Then maybe play out the new war for paragon...

    Introducing Eberron to Newcomers

    Yeah, I've got a pretty good grasp on what kind of game I want to run. Honestly the Lanterns really was my idea, but I was wanting to kind of spin it from there - King Boranel has been replaced with a doppelganger (a member of the Church of the Silver Flame) who is using them to help reignite...

    Introducing Eberron to Newcomers

    So, my home 4E campaign is humming along nicely and I'm starting to gear up for the final push. I've already decided that I want to try out Eberron next (the current one is almost completely homebrew), but I've kind of run into a problem. None of my players have any experience with, or...

    Thank Goodness: Moving away from the Delve format

    I'm a pretty big fan of the Delve Format, but that's probably because I use almost zero pre-gen stuff. I like to organize my own encounters that I've come up with in the delve format, because it is handy to have everything all in one place, but since it is all homebrew, I don't have the problem...

    Why I dislike Sigil and the Lady of Pain

    Cool, thanks, Shemeska!

    Why I dislike Sigil and the Lady of Pain

    Probably off-topic (and I apologize if it is too far off), but this thread has been really inspirational to me. I've been kind of stumped about how (and when) to reveal certain information to my players during epic tier (which I wanted to take place in Sigil and make heavy use of some of the...

    D&D 4E your 4E game is set...

    We've done H1-H3 (just set in the Nentir Vale), but haven't played those characters in about a year now... shame. Currently, I'm running a game out of a homebrew setting I've kind of cooked up on the fly. It's been rather successful (and, for some shameless self-promotion, you can read about...

    PC lost in vague ending

    My story is about my cleric, Clarke. As our party neared the end of Red Hand of Doom, we started to get hints that we were going to have to fight "Tiamat" (our characters, obviously didn't know it was just an avatar), and my character - a follower of St Cuthbert - was intent on either...

    Does a Setting need gods?

    A setting with no gods would actually make for some interesting RP. Whether or not there are gods will not prevent people from creating them, or changing their views of them, or abandoning them completely. The difference in beliefs from the first century A.D. to now are startling, even though...

    Please Help Design - Level 30 Epic End Campaign Encounter

    This is a great thread so far. I'm planning on wrapping up paragon tier pretty soon, and I've already decided I want my party to take on Tharizdun in the final battle of epic - I'll probably be stealing some of the ideas here and reskinning them a bit to fit his flavor more! I used a room...

    Level one...hero or schlub?

    I take it character by character, usually. For me, personally, I like to consider my 1st level characters as highly capable, but unproven. My players all seem to have a different opinion: Sid, the Goliath fighter, had been on several misadventures previous to the start of the campaign, and had...

    I've got the crypt, help me make it ... cryptic

    I did a similar thing in my current campaign. I wanted to get the players together and find a way for the party to form. The characters were all strangers and were all at the execution of someone they all had reason to hate (before the game started, I asked them all to give me reasons their...

    Kitchen Sink vs. Parsimony?

    I'm in the middle of DMing a long-running campaign (at least, long running for our group - almost two years straight now!), and I started it fairly parsimoniously. I told them they could use any race or class from the main books, but to stay away from monstrous humanoids and strange races like...
