I let the whiners make their complaints, then try to shut them up once they start over. If the complaint is fair I try to deal with the problem. If the complain is unfair I say so and ignores future complaints.

I'm not using it, but I enjoy reading the realmslore section. I hope to use it when I get around to run the Dungeon Cauldron series. With SS (with its realmslore from the North) and some minor tweaking I should be able to set it in Neverwinter, which I think is great. The realmslore from the...

I run a "low magic" game from time to time, and find it very enjoyable. Here's my take on the subject: 1) I do like magic shops for a number of reasons, so I keep them, but they are organized by the church of the god of commerce, which has a number of sinister agendas going on. Mages never have...

I have never used counterspelling in my games. That's it. Everything else have mentioned here have been used. I especially thing the NPC stats are great. Metamagic are moderately used, but out epic campaign use empowered and quickened spells routinely. Empower Spell and Extend Spell are...

City of Ravens The City of Ravens by Richard Baker is my favorite FR novel so far. I was pleasantly surprised to see crunchmeister Baker produce a novel full of action, intrigue and romance with a swashbuckling rogue/wizard as the main character. The plot was kinda weak, but Baker obviously...

I think it is a great idea. When I planned my current campaign I outlined a story using published adventures to figure out what I wanted to do. I strayed from the outline very quickly (something I now regret), but I do believe planning around published stuff is a great way to save time and force...
