    Are you tired of being told you hate 4E?

    Actually, I don't see any problem in being called a 4E hater if that's what you are. Me, I am. But I respect other people's opinions as well. Call me a moderate hater... ;)

    Pirate-style Treasure Hunt - any advice?

    Thanks everyone for the feedback! Eh. I know what you mean. I must say that I am usually good at avoid such dead-end situations, either by giving the players multiple clues or - if it works fine - by adapting my plot to their intuitions. And that unused dungeon can easily become the next...

    Pirate-style Treasure Hunt - any advice?

    Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at DCC #46! You are so right, but I fear my players expect a little more than that. You know, they want to find clues pointing at other clues, pointing at people who will speak of other people, and so on. Complete with red herrings, maps, riddles, lateral...

    Pirate-style Treasure Hunt - any advice?

    Hi all, I am currently running a D&D pirates campaign in the Realms, most of the players being rogues, bards or swashbucklers, all 2nd level. A lot of plot hooks are on the table already, but some players have hinted they would like to go for a proper treasure hunt. Now, given that the job and...

    OotS #497 is up/The Grand Fighter [Merge Powers Activate!]

    Uh, am I wrong or grampa's sword is two-handed? It looks slightly longer than Roy's and he uses it with two hands... :uhoh:

    QFT. If the opinion of an Italian is worth something... (been studying Latin for 8 years at school) :)

    LOL! And Retreater, you should heed Shilsen's advice.

    Rogue / Cleric combos

    I totally second that. What about Divine Agent? (I don't remember the prerequisites though :\ )

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    I don't get it, why did the Tempest ignore the call? And why was she so easily led away when the hathran showed up in person??

    The most important people in the world (my players stay out)

    Three Formians - a Captain, a Warrior and a Taskmaster - enter the hall. They bring gifts only to some of the most powerful leaders in the hall, and then silently stand aside. They are only the physical facade of the Formian Delegation, which of course includes the Formian Queen herself...

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    I never enjoyed space opera - or whatever you want to call that Jack Vance mixture. And I never liked dwarves with guns (or elves with katanas, for what it's worth). But I realize that may be just me. :) As for the dragon pregnancy, for which you sound slightly excusing, the potential for...

    Oh, he's a sorcerer! I missed that. :heh:

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    Great twist! Sounds like it was a great fun to play! I liked the alienist's travel in the Far Realms. Just one question: did he recover his own spellbooks during the escape or has he got Spell Mastery in Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum?? :uhoh: And I would love to see some PC stats too...

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    IIRC, the monk is a PC - couldn't this be a bit frustrating for the player? I do have one player who would get along well with that, but I, as a player, would not. I mean, I would have a little less fun than usual. And gaming is all about having fun, IMO.

    You can run. But you cannot hide! About DMing, ideas?...Münster guys: STAY OUT!!!

    What I would definitely do here is: 1) the Shadow Masters wait for the Hathran, kidnap her and kill the bodyguard 2) the PCs receive the head of the bodyguard. This would possibly force the PCs to make the first move, which, in my experience, does not lead usually to good results for the PCs...

    Help me with this plot

    The (highish-level) sorcerer and his beautiful sister were visiting this city, curious about how its inhabitants thrived happily although they had little to no knwoledge of magic. The king is not a good person, though, and when he sees the charming lady, he wants her. She turns his offers down...

    Character secrets

    When the character of one my players died in our running campaign, I offered him the possibility to take over an NPC (not specifying which). He accepted. Since then, he's been playing this former npc - an assassin who had previously framed the paladin of the party and killed another npc...
