    D&D 4E Running player commentary on PCat's 4E Campaign - Heroic tier (finished)

    I think this thread has gone horribly horribly awry. ;) -Ashurm

    War-based modules

    The Witchfire mega module from Privateer Press ends with a full blown invasion of the town by an undead army. And the PC's are leading it :cool:, so I thought that was pretty cool. When I ran that series of modules my players had an absolute blast with them. The invasion is handled well, and...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder - Second Darkness adventure path

    I'll toss my two coppers in that I wasn't grabbed by the first part either. I think I just kept looking at the module thinking how are we going to go from street thugs to heros of the elven people. Not that I can't see it happening, but I just couldn't see it happening with the adventure as...

    Black or white?

    Black is best. The white is just way to bright on the ol' mark one eyeball. Especially if I need to stare at it for any lenght of time. -Ashrum

    Temporary front page

    still a touch slow, and a bit of lag, but hey, at least the pages show up at 1:30 in the afternoon instead of just clocking away like crazy. -Ashrum

    Could I? Should I? Would I?

    If you're interested and have the time I say go for it. Right now I'm just a little sick and tired of people that have to complain about everything ruining things for the rest. She's the business manager, which makes her an administrator. Unless she's off "losing" applcations and what not then...

    In Praise of the Fluff-Light Monster Manual (Forked: Ecology of the Dragonborn up)

    Guys, I have to say I stongly disagree. A monster manual with no fluff for the monter is fine for a DM that is experienced with former editions. But if I was walking into 4E cold, I'd be ticked as all get out. Without having that fluff it becomes darn hard to get a handle on the creature, to...

    Guns in a fantasy setting

    I'll add in that a look at firearms in the Iron Kingdoms is really worth a look. Gunpowder is an alchemical compound, and they even the playing field for the common man to compete with the spell casters and the mounted knights. The down side is that they take blasted forever to reload most times...

    "Lorraine Williams Scenario" Forked Thread: from Death of the LGS

    Okay, am I totally happy with the direction that wotc has taken DnD? Nope. I miss my non-combat related skills, I miss poison that last more than a few seconds, and I miss being turned to stone forever. Do I plan to add these features back in, sure do. But even without these features in the game...

    How will you DDI

    I will not be using it at all. I have an aversion to paying a subsciption for computer only items. I won't play WoW, I won't use the DDI. Give me a paper subsciption to Dungeon and Dragon, and I'm there though. -Ahsrum

    Worst & most common DM mistakes

    I'd have to say that here I disagree very stongly. It's the DM's job to judciate the game so that everybody has fun. To say no and enforce the rules when needed. And to say yes when the rules need to be broken to facilitate the fun. The DM's job isn't simply provide cardboard XP cutout of...

    Sci-fi & Fantasy News Page at CIRCVS MAXIMVS: what happen?

    I'll also toss in that it took quite some time for me to recieve the activation email. I assumed I should receive the email pretty quickly (ie a few minutes to a few hours) but it seems to have taken the better part of a week before it showed up. I can now view everything fine, but I had...

    What do you make and what do you do?

    IT support, with a degree in computer engineering. (Dang economy and the glut of engineers in the market) -Ashurm

    What have you done to Drow in your world?

    In my Arcana Unearthed Homebrew I've renamed the drow to Quiless, and they have become something of a mystery to my players. On the one hand they are the descendents of a race of humans that worhsiped the personified force of chaos within the world. These orginators of the line used magic to...

    How Are You Passing the Time Until June?

    I've been DMing shadowrun 4E and having a blast with it. It's helped to remind me that there is a sweet spot for rules as well as characters. The sweet spot to me is a system that has a robust enough system to cover most of the major issues you'll run into, but flexible enough to allow the DM to...

    Pathfinder 1E PPP (Post Pathfinder Poll)

    For me I've loved everything they'ver produced up to this point, but sadly this news means my subscription will lapse after the second AP is through. I buy the AP's to save myself time, that my job, wife, mortage and two year old no longer allow me. Converting them all to 4e just is not in the...

    Wulf Ratbane's DARK HERESY

    Thanks for the response Wulf. I'll have to check around and see if I can get my hands on a copy of the book then. I look forward to your future installments! -Ashrum
