I have it and use it and find it very handy during session. My only quibble is that it was quite nimble with just the core SRD in it. Now they have the option of adding the APG SRD materials and it has slowed down considerably when you do searches (just more material to search through). Of...

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful. :)

Pathfinder support would be awesome!

Well here are my 2 cents on it. I think maybe 60% of the stuff in the GMG has already been covered in other DMG books you already have, or already know from experience. For the other 40% there are some cool ideas on encounters like chase scenes. There are some nice tables: Random NPC creation...

I finished running Scouring about a month ago in my online campaign. FYI I am running the 3.5 version. I had the same impression as you on some of the encounters. Many I skipped, and some I added based on the flow of what the PCs decided to do. For example, the fire you mentioned. The group...

Yay!!! Thank you thank you! *bows* :)

Any update? Not that I'm anxious or anything.. ;)

I haven't gotten all the way through it, but I concur that the material is hit and miss for me personally. Some stuff I knew, other stuff presented neat insights, but due to the nature of group individuality is hard to actually apply. The section on building worlds is nice, though I don't have...

Thanks, Morrus!

Perhaps it is just me, but I see you have posted the 4E version in the Subscribers content area, but I don't see the 3.5E version. Will it be posted, or am I just not seeing it?

I certainly understand the desire to be the best DM. However as others have pointed out, that title is very subjective. The relationship you have or establish with your group of players, your style, your strengths and weaknesses all play a part in it. I think that striving to become a good DM...

My party killed him. Of course I made him a less sympathetic and more driven character. A black sheep who was an embarassment to his father the general who was trying to prove himself and cement his family's influence in the new regime. I figured it was a good reason for a general's son turn...

Thanks! Been awhile since I ran 3.5 so I missed that!

In the 3.5 version of Scouring of Gate Pass... There is an inquisitor who is listed as being a cleric. However he carries and used a scroll of Mage Armor which is arcane. Normally Divine casters can't cast arcane spells or use arcane scrolls. Do the Inquisitors have some special ability to...

Yep, that lines up pretty close to what I was thinking as well. Lots of potential for new races (both PC and NPC). Strange and unique cultures. Politics of the underwater and surface realms. Perhaps a threat to surface dwellers that needs to be stopped could be an overarching plot. Flooding...

I know it may sound strange, but I've often toyed with the idea of a sunken Atlantis sort of setting for an adventure. It introduces a lot of challenges to the designer in order to make it workable, but a mostly underwater setting is something that would certainly be unique. The bonus is that...

While this sounds interesting, it would be much harder to adapt the AP to other campaign worlds. A real selling point (at least to me) of WotBS is that it can faily easily be incorporated into just about any fantasy setting.

What I haven't seen mentioned is the effect of subject matter knowledge or sophistication on the outcomes for many verses few choices. It seems to me there would be a correlation there. As a non-gaming example. I know a lot about computers and love to build them. So when I shop for computers I...

I have run a few WotC modules, many pre 3.0, some 3.5 and 4.0. Although with 4.0 I only bothered with the first module, KotSF, to get a feel for the system. My first impression on reading the module was that the entire purpose of the module was to introduce DM and players to the 4.0 rules. Like...

Aha! Thank you very much for clearing that up! I am on the subscription model, so future events are a mystery to me. ;)
