Does being a "Rise of the Runelords Set" mean that the characters are just drawn from that AP, or is it intended that you could buy the full set somehow and have (most of) the figures you'd need to run the Path?

I miss metaorgs. My early days in LG was some of the finest organized play campaigning I've ever had. I really enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment when I'd receive a particular magic item cert or unlock new abilities or advance in a metaorg. Living Arcanis was similar in that it treated...

Hah! Yeah, I already played that one with my old gaming group before I moved out of state. Don't want to make that mistake again with the new group I found locally.

I've been impressed with a lot of the adventures WotC has been putting out lately for D&D. I can't wait to run my group through 'Reavers of Harkenwald', 'Madness at Gardmore Abbey', and the current re-scripting of the Giant series. Unfortunately, my friends haven't played 4e before, and I'm...

I don't care much for the hexblade. That may sound like the complete opposite of what you were asking, but please interpret that to mean I like all the other ones. A lot. But if I had to pick just one, I'd have to go with the knight. While it may seem simple to the read, I love the way it...

Basic D&D The way adventuring changed over the life of the character. Rather than just levelling up to fight different monsters, PCs would pass through phases of dungeon-->wilderness-->kingdom building-->multi-planar-->godhood. 1st Ed. Adventures based on self-serving dungeon looting rather...

::blink blink:: Too brilliant. I've been hoping for some 4e Mystara AND long for a detailed description of the core 4e setting. The idea of combining the two into a new Princess Ark series never occurred to me. Scribble, that's inspired. I mostly agree. This nebulous Middle World setting...

Can any of you give me a good gauge of how usefull this is for someone who doesn't play in Forgotten Realms? It sounds pretty awesome, but I may still balk at it if it's too specific to the Realms. More specifically, would it be worth the cost if I only wanted to use the post-Essentials...

Can you tell me more about the adaptability of the content? It sounds like it's all really good, but I don't play Forgotten Realms. Would I be able to lift the content completely out of Toril and drop it into Nerath somewhere? Could I even take the content and say that, instead of being...

Quick, name the TSR setting which featured absent gods and dragons as mere myths and legends. If you said "Dragonlance", you're right. If you also said "Dark Sun", you see where I'm going with this. I was flipping through my old TSR .pdf library the other day when the parallels of the two...

True, but the kingdom building's sort of the point. I'm only thinking that hex-by-hex exploration might get a bit old after six levels or so. By then, I'd certainly be willing to allow my hypothetical players to spend build points to send their army out to claim hexes while the PCs did...

Let me preface all this with the note that I haven't played any of these APs. My current lack of a gaming group means my sole RPG experiences these days come from reading the adventures and *wishing* I could play them. I got a late start into Serpent's Skull, only just now getting the first...

It's actually not that hard to sample both games to see how they work for you. The Pathfinder rules are available as a pdf from Paizo for $10, while a $15 fee will net you one month's access to the DDI rule compendium and a copy of the then-most-current character builder to use forever. Step 2...

I have nothing to offer this year except my loyalty :(

If you're willing to consider Age of Worms, I'm going to try to direct your attention to Savage Tide. In my eyes it's far superior to Age of Worms, not suffering from the same overflowing of undead enemies across the entire campaign and benefitting from a very diverse set of adventures from...

Funny, I did just that very thing as part of prep to run Curse of the Crimson Throne. It's skewed towards that campaign, but here's my big picture list: Ten Things Everyone Knows About the World The world is called Golarion. 10,000 years ago, the Starstone fell to Golarion, creating the Inner...

Golarion's biggest strength is that it is more or less a generic 3rd edition D&D setting. They basically made a list of any kind of adventure a D&D player could want to have and made a place for it. There's an Egyptian setting, a jungle setting, a place where a sci-fi spaceship has crashed...

The biggest hazard for me and my group in any Adventure Path is the very real risk that characters will die or the players will want to pursue goals aside from the narration of the Path. Any AP that's strung together too tightly can really derail at the loss of a key character or two, and...

$10/month is still a pretty good value for all the digital content (I suppose), but I'm caught up in the "increasing value and new content" pitch. Have there been comments on seeing some of the other DDI stuff they've been working on that would justify a claim of "increasing value"? Like any...

Hunh. I happen to really like the MM2 covergirl version of Demogorgon. I won't say it's *better* than any other version I've seen, but it's really nice to see some glimmer of intelligence in his eyes. On the surface, he's immediately recognizable as something that will eat you alive, but that...
