I think Beastmaster (Complete Adventurer) is similar to what you are looking for.

Inspirational Adventure Reading I'm fond of the Victory Point accumulation method for two reason 1 - Enables results of mini-adventures before the battle to have some impact 2 - Enables most of the battle to be done "off screen" as accumulated advantages for the PC's whole side I'd suggest the...

The best romances in-character in groups I've DM'ed have been those in which the Players brought the focus to the table. In one case, the party Cleric/Mage (2e) had saved an NPC and her son in an early adventure. During an overland trek, he ended up being the PC that most often took care of...

I put print and some electronic. Like others, I like Paizo's strategy of giving subscribers free PDFs. Generally, I like the PDF for game preparation as it has things I need: ability to search, ability to create derivative game aids (NPC flash cards, maps), etc. These things also help in...

I've written a review of Paizo's GameMastery Module D0: Hollow's Last Hope. Can someone please add that to the products available for review? Many thanks

My condolences. You mentioned "they" - do you mean the city/police/coroner's office? IANAL - You can petition to become the administrator of his estate (if he died without a will). I have done this before for a tenant who died without a family or close friends (he was the last of his social...

If one player controlling 3+ PCs isn't an option (and likely, wouldn't be too satisfying), maybe something like a character tree? Let the player have a few characters, of which only one is "in focus" at any one time. You can fudge experience, so that off-screen PCs gain XP at 1/2 rate (to...

For The +0 LA; I may go with the the original SRD entry and just give +4 on move silently (why no bonus to hide in the SRD is beyond me) to make the extension into the full hobgoblin a direct progression. Full house ruling: I'd probably allow a character like this to take a racial level to get...

Something that I'm not sure about from the OP. How will the other players (not PCs) react to an evil PC in the group? Does this interfere with the other player's (not PCs) fun? Most likely the best course of action is to talk with the other players about the change and get them involved. I...

I generally go with: "We're friends here to have fun." DM acts to ensure that "friends" are having "fun" IMC friends means being reasonably polite between people (not in game, but OOC must be polite) IMC have fun includes everyone - one grinning player and 3 grumbly players and DM isn't fun...

FYI - email addressed to info@goodman-games.com bounced back to me. Apparently your SMTP server is trying some email verification that my school email account doesn't support.

Where "friend" = "father" Yup, my dad introduced me to the game around 3rd grade. Was fun to kill goblins. Also got taught the fine art of taking over fantasy game worlds by him.

Voted "Awesome and Magical" Basically, I'd prefer that elves be NPCs so that I can build elves as plot devices (with plots that last decades and centuries for the PCs to discover and either aid or hinder).

I'd have gone for the two option also - Humor + DnD in Comic Form. My main reaction to it was: "It's funny because it's true!"

Yes, as written. Players seem to like knowing what their rewards will be in advance. Provides for faster character advancement that I like for novice gamers - they seem to advance faster than they learn to utilize their abilities (i.e. characters advance faster than the players). Rate appears...

I put the mostly interpretation, but a bit more restrictive. Generally, I'm a simulationist - most of the campaigns I run will generally move to some aspect of world simulation - or at least, an expectation that the NPCs in the world to react rationally and take rational choices in that world...

One of my old (2E) campaigns was done without a world map. The players were all provincial people from various mountain settlements - they had a sketch map of their immediate area, notes on various mountain passes and trials to other places they'd been or knew about. As DM, I had a sketch map...

IME... your point about raising the CR is very valid. Multiple groups with more than 4 PCs that I've worked with find they can only barely hit the creature (17+ for the main fighter), while 2 or even 3 of the matched (CR equals average party level) tends to be most balanced. In this case...

Two technologies that I'm following: - 3D environments (not full VR to start, but more on the stereoscopic 3D than the faux-3D we currently have) - MMORPG's with AIs; actual AI's with complex story reactions (similar to the ALICE research begin done here: http://www.alice.org/ )

Back to the OP's question On question for the OP - adventures that capture "the defeat the villain and marry the princess" theme. There is a AD&D 2E solo adventure: Fighter's Challenge II The PC rescues the princess, returns her to family, with many encounters between. The module notes that...
