I run the campaign when it came out. The first half was hard, but not only taking about combat. Starting with no items and trying to escape is not easy. Dealing with underdark wilderness is not easy. I used the mad npcs to spread chaos on the pcs. But after the first half the party was...
I kept looking and it seems that she is only mentioned in a Dragon Magazine about Graz't but no much more. That's cool I can makes up something.
Thank you!
Long story short: I'm running a Tal'Dorei game where one of my players is playing a Ranger lizardfolk. He has a dark and confusing background and the result is that he casts spells with power from a demon entity. The way the character acts make me believe that Rhyxali is a good option/conection/...
I think my notebook, for pdf reference, initiative, session xp and hp tracking, map I can draw and erase easily and miniatures. Also some rigid wire areas for spells. And sometimes a DM screen (mostly for dragon age since I don't need it for end)
Mmm I sold a LOT of forgotten realms products from ad&d that never used also selling lot of 3.5 FR books. Now I keep only things I use or have plans to use. I think that maybe, following your idea, Dragon Kings* is the book I have to choose. For sure I have read it but I don't think that book...
Like two years ago I run out of the abyss. In the first half the players understand more or less what's going on. At the time I had just receive a shiny new Tome of Beast book. So it was obvious for me that I should use some of the weird new demon lords on my library. So I pick up Akishigal...
My favorites:
Tome of beasts and Creature codex, two awesome books full of ideas and FUN monsters with interesting abilities.
Tal Dorei Campaign Setting: even if it is "standard fantasy" it is one of the best RPG products or there. IMO it does great with giving you a solid world but also has...
I booted one politically. He was screaming what he wanted, was angry for difficult encounters, for easy encounters, for having to cooperate, for others not cooperating with him. Extreme selfish character, etc. First I talked with every player (they all felt the same) then I asked him to stop...
Well here's the thing. I DMed the first 3 adventures (Freedom!, Road to Urik and Arcane Shadows). The group is super engaged with the campaign. Next session we are supposed to start Asticlian Gambit. I only read on internet bad things about it being to much of rail-roaded.
Have anyone run it...
I'm running a dark sun campaign and between modules a player asked me to change his pc. The original had a focus (a madness every dwarf have in Athas). And he went on a solo quest to complete it. He needed a champion and at that point he realised the party's gladiator was that champion so he...
I voted d20 because of d20. And d8... When I was a kid my brother came back from one of his friend's house with a d8 and gave it me saying something like "in there they play like videogames but with dice". That was my first real contact with roleplaying games. I kept with me that dice for many...
My case is a bit special. I live in Argentina and it is really expensive to buy books from local stores (not because of the price, but the economy and the taxes to anything you do, specially business). Also there are not "official" wotc stores. So the final price could be close to 100 USD per...
I do award RP. Last Dark Sun session some wild muls attacked the party traveling sand desert. The cannibal halfling rogue was hidden in the caravan. She was hiding and shooting for the sneak attack. The player thought correctly that it could be awesome to roll behind a mul and stab him in the...
Wooow. Lot of information. I just want to come back home from work to check your recommendations. Awesome. Thank you all. I'll check and tell what I found!!!
Hi all
I'm running a sandbox campaign on my own setting. The party decided to help the dwarf to go to the dwarven ruins of Komek. Nex monday they are reaching a secondary entrance.
I was wondering if someone knows about good maps/adventures/inspiration for a ruined/abandoned/undermountain...
I use mostly fanmade docs, and I choose what I want to use from every pdf.
Regarding psionics we use a custom doc based on the mystic, but with the dark sun feeling. I created a random list for wild powers, they all have one at lvl 1, also it improves and can gain new ones with lvl advances...
I totally support Dragonlance.
Right now I'm running a dark sun campaign. It is freaking inspiring. I'm running the original campaign (freedom, road to Urik, arcane shadows, etc).
I can tell you, it is the best campaign I ran so far. My players love it, they are engaged with their characters...
Since I'm dming Dark Sun:
An update on races: and I won't accept things like "use goliaths for half giants". That's non sense. I don't want them to force any race. DS is about a dying world with extinted races, not new ones like tieflings on 4e.
Rules for weapons: inferior materials
Rules for...
I'm looking for an article (from Dragon #391) its name was "Traveling the Sandswept Roads". I'm reading Dungeon #202 which has a link to that article but the link is broken. (Also the pdf I have for Dragon #391 hasn't that article, that's why I believe it was a separate article)
Is there a place...
