I'm actually a player right now, not the GM. We are coming up on our third session, and I'm looking for something that works well (fair and keeps the players balanced with each other). The GM has already done his part, in announcing that treasure is by the book with wishlists. The current...

Hi Everyone. I'm playing in my second 4e game (I GMed the first), and how to divide treasure amongst the players is causing a bit of confusion. Our GM is giving our group treasure as per RAW (parcels, wishlists, etc). What we are having dificulty figuring out is how to distribute the monetary...

Hi Ferdil, Yes, I read your thread before working backwards from Keterys's work. I'm sorry I didn't credit you, I thought the idea a little too derivative to need crediting. I absolutely would have, if I knew it would upset you that I didn't. I would love to hear any other ideas you have...

Now that the Dragons have HP comparable to the PC's, I think I'll just give them a comparable number of healing surges as well. We'll see how it works out.

I have found Keterys's excellent guides for converting standard->elite->solo. By working backwards from them, I present the Young Red Dragon as a standard lvl 16 monster, roughly comparable to a level 16 PC: Young Red Dragon Level 16 Large Dragon XP 1500 Init +12 HP 155...

I'm looking to start a Redwood City FR Game...

I created a sample set of characters, for one of the players. I'm concerned I might not be able to top this for the second set: An Adult Red Dragon, let's call him Novarus, until someone comes up with a better name, is our hero; he is just coming into his power as the fiercest and strongest...

It looks like people are getting interested in the story a bit, so I might as well talk about what I am planning. I picked Adult, not just for the Grandeur and Awe at interacting with a grown Dragon, but also because Dracoliches are paragon and low-epic enemies! Basically, my plot is simple...

Krensus, As for advancement, the adventure should last about 1 level, so I'm hoping to not have to worry about it. If they really like it, and want to continue, I may tie levelling together, but I'm not sure yet. Having most, if not all weapons be Dragonbane is a great idea! About healing...

Hi Everybody! My girlfriends mother expressed interest in playing D&D. She especially wants her character to ride a Dragon. I'm the kind of GM that loves to say yes to players, but this is a doozy. The setup: me running an adventure for my girlfriend and her mother, both playing 1 Dragon...

Saga edition also introduced an interesting mechanic for using "force powers" (read: combat magic), the Use the Force skill. This mixed with talents to make some interesting mechanics. for example: Talent: Diviner You can Use Magic checks instead of initiative Talent: Improved Diviner You...

Starting from level 1 can be frustrating in a higher level game, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. It important to remember that lower-level characters earn more experience points from the same encounters than higher level characters do. A level 1 character adventuring with 3...

Why whould the elemental keep hitting him if he was disabled? In situations like that, it's best to make the PC want to act by having the bad guy attack his friends instead. Don't do things as a GM that make the system not make sense.

Check out the Tome of Necromancy on the WOTC forums.

Mutants and Masterminds is my all time favorite roleplaying system. It is point based, and you heroes improve incrementally session to session, instead of leveling. It can be played in a very dnd-feeling way by starting out at, say, PL2 with 30pp. It includes rules for learning the...

Bump. Are there no east bay players on this board?

See subject ;) I am looking to run an eberron game in Berkeley. I would like it to be reasonably mature, no high schoolers. The game will be intended to have an Indiana Jones feel to it, and will centre around exploring strange places for knowledge and profit. To get a mechanical feel, a...
