    Switching Editions Mid-Stream

    As you probably know, WotC is barely supporting it's 4e DDI tools these days, with no updates to the tools and a rejection of any new customers. We've already switched to playing without the charop guides (which we used largely for whittling down the 1200 feats available during level up), and...

    What if Rock Rackus dies?

    I have a PC Vekeshi Mystic who chose to kill Rock Rackus in adventure 3 when he thought he was ordered to by the Brotherhood. However, now we're in Adventure 5 and Rock Rackus is scheduled to make an appearance, and it looks like he'll be even more important later in the campaign. How would you...

    Introducing a new character 1/2 way through The Island at the Axis of the World

    Seven Foot Dan has become a PC in our group. :)

    Isobel = Kasvarina?

    I failed to mention that Asrabey is the elder brother of one of our PCs, so having him abscond with Kasvarina/Isobel would greatly enhance the drama of that move. I dig it!

    Isobel = Kasvarina?

    Hey, ya'll~ I've been attempting to reduce the number of Eladrin women in the story in order to reinforce the fact that they are special and rare. (One of my PCs is an Eladrin nationalist, so this plot thread is important to him.) Thus far, this has only really resulted in two changes: the...

    How are others handling RHC Item Requisitions?

    I'm running 4E instead of Pathfinder, so I don't know how useful my response will be, but I feel similarly about generic magic items - I want magic items to have emotional importance and to have a place in the narrative. "Dr Von Recklinghausen gave me this sword to pay for smuggling him out of...

    ZEITGEIST 4E divine power and Zeitgeist

    I did the exact same thing - alignment is not a thing in my campaign, and things like "detect evil" go right out the window. Everything is cast in shades of gray, which makes the constantly-shifting relationships the party has developed with groups like the family, the fey terrorists, and the...

    ZEITGEIST 4E divine power and Zeitgeist

    For what it's worth, in my campaign I required all PCs who have a divine power source to be adherents of the Clergy. Particularly religious followers of the Old Faith got steered toward primal power sources, instead. This doesn't reflect on the validity of the faiths, but is rather an attempt...

    Flint's Finest Entry-level Field Agents

    Update after Adventure 2 So I've fallen off the wagon when it comes to taking session notes, but thought I'd give a general update for the campaign... We've just finished The Dying Skyseer, and a bunch of notable stuff has happened: The PCs escaped the abandoned church in The Nettles cleanly...

    [SPOILERS] Gale and the Unseen Court

    In our campaign, the jury is still out on whether Gale can actually fly or not. Rumors certainly suggest that she can, but thus far the party hasn't actually seen her doing anything other than jump really high and land really gracefully. Given that the weakened connection with Avilona (which...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist in 5e: high elves vs. eladrin

    I would replace the Eladrin with High Elves, and give them a racial teleport cantrip. There's already enough stuff in the setting without trying to find room for more races. (Gnomes and halflings, in particular, seem to be included in lanjyr out of obligation rather than because they make the...

    Pathfinder Act 1 hardcover ready. Seeking volunteers for final pass proofreading.

    I would totally do this, but I'm on vacation through Monday so I wouldn't be able to meet the Sunday deadline. If there is more work to be done after Sunday, I could pitch in.

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist Adventure 9

    If I had a magic wand, I'd make Wizard of the Coast hire the entire Zeitgeist writing staff and pay them to do nothing but write full time since the stuff they put out is so much higher-quality than the WotC adventure modules. Since I don't have a magic wand, I'm reconciled to the fact that they...

    D&D 5E Which campaign setting material (AP or Sourcebook) would you like to see first/next in 5E?

    1. Spelljammer 2. Ravenloft 3. Dark Sun 4. Dragonlance I know that it wouldn't be a smart business decision, but I'd also like to see a new setting come out, perhaps a swashbuckling Renaissance setting akin to 7th Sea. I'm a sucker for nautical adventures, which is probably why Spelljammer tops...

    Flint's Finest Entry-level Field Agents

    Session 3: Assault on the Duchess's tower This session went largely according to plan, with a couple major differences: Eogan managed to ditch the guy he was supposed to bodyguard and rejoin the party just in time to recognize his brother, Asrabey, cutting his way through the Risuri ranks. He...

    Flint's Finest Entry-level Field Agents

    Eamon and Hirou: That's some solid advice! I think that when/if the party gets access to the Detect Planar Energy ritual from Gale, I'll describe Eliza's pockets lighting up like ornaments on a Christmas tree. The rock from the blue swamp will simply confirm something they already suspected...

    Flint's Finest Entry-level Field Agents

    Session 2: The Three Towers The session kicked off like this... Delft: Congrats, everyone - you'll be rewarded for your success last week. What's the most amazing reward you can possibly imagine? Zahn: Another opportunity to serve our king? Delft: Precisely! From there, things proceeding...
