In answer to your questions: as to the mini's, I dont think you'd necessarily need 200 mini's for a 1-10 lvl campaign. By using a certain theme, it would logically follow that a more restricted set of different enemies is encountered. Think the Red Hand of Doom. Most enemies would be orcs and...

Now for the carnivalesque atmosphere: - someone (preferably some alien / weird species) proclaiming gloom and doom (the advent of a massive invasion, a meteor strike, a magical disease, whatever) which may or may not be true... - mage duels (sanctioned / organized or maybe not...) which will be...

Hmm... some thoughts off the top of my head: - a 'normal human' who somehow (fate, some magical process, chance?) is completely immune to all magical spells. This way, mages wanting to 'play' this merchant have themselves a real problem... - a disguised demon secretly selling powerful magics in...

Hmmm... in my mind there would be some difference between a 'real' campaign in a box versus throwing an AP and some minis and maps into a box. In my mind, a real 'campaign' is more vast and less 'linear' than an AP. A campaign in a box that I would be interested in leans more towards a setting...

I usually let the players come up together with why they are in the same place and how they met (and why they are 'on the road' in the first place), or provide some scene and then let the players decide upon how come they are there. Some examples I did in the past: - you are all on a ship en...

Muahaha.. good point. The real world is already very pluriform, and that even within one country, let alone across the world... there is no 'one right way' to even BE a male or female, let alone 'one right way' to play one in a fictional world... To get back on topic / the OP's question, When...

Ouch! My best wishes to you and your family... prayers are with you all...

That will be a nice Bday gift... Also understood that at GenCon there will be a fundraising for a statue for the Father of All DM's... that would be an even nicer Bday gift...

Also, both the book and the movie sequence is now at an end, so the 'saga is complete'. I seem to recall her main issue with a HP RPG was her fear that people would change 'canon' too much, and she did not want that interfering while the series was still under way. Now that things have ended...

Must spread around and the like...

Always create tons of stuff for my campaigns. One creation I am always fond of is the concept of the 'dragon mace'. The mace is shaped as if (generally) two or three bodies of dragons are intertwined. The wings are stretched outward and form the flanges of the mace (complete with hooks /...

More power to the founder...

We now have all these neato achievements. In the same vein of the 'power level gary' thread, I was thinking, shouldn't we bestow some achievements or special awards on Gary Gygax? Maybe a special 'Founding Father' achievement? Any other thoughts? Similarly, other, more recent authors /...

Fostering 'creative play' is a combination of two things: - providing 'hooks' for the players: describing their surroundings such that you imply (you do not need to list every item) there is stuff lying about that may be useful when used in a creative manner - saying 'yes, you can' as a DM when...

Hmmm... maybe delving deeper into the idea by NoWayJose, create multiple 3-level 'classes', similar to the racial paragon class idea, where each 'class' has a specific / limited selection of powers / spells: - the basic 'adventuring' class types: martial, sneaky, spellcaster - several more...

Must it be a puzzle, or can it also be more of a challenge. For example: water challenge: you open the door to the room. The room has no visible floor. It is basically a pool. There are no other doors / exits visible. Upon investigation, you notice there is some water creature (elemental?) and...

Well... the impact on the development of technology and on the economic system would be huge... Many technological items would never be developed, as no one would see the need for them. This goes for weapons and armore, but also for mundane technological items. When everyone can perform...

From what I understand, your world has gone through cycles. So now the heroes of the past are reincarnated. What if the invasion is by humans. In a previous 'cycle', they set out into space to explore now worlds. They got stranded somewhere on a strange planet. This planet altered them (magic...

Soo... have we topped Gary out yet? He should not just be the highest level dude around, but at the maximum possible level... a suggestion of title level: God of RPG's...

What if the 'old army' is not so much old in the sense they are worse or something, merely, the old army was given another purpose, namely, guarding against some other evantuality (the rise of some other evil). This other evil will take some time to manifest once the golems are gone, so the...
