    The Spycraft method to Dungeons-what do you think?

    Sounds interesting to me, provided all those rolls don't take-up too much time. Try it, go on, try it - tell us how it goes! :)

    AEG's Adventure Keep series: experiences?

    Nice, thanks Chris. Did you plan it out in advance, or did the area and campaign develop off the back of the party actually doing the adventures?

    guilds

    Do you want to port stuff into your game? Both Bastion Press and AEG have published guilds-themed supplements. I have the Bastion Press one, but I'm not that big a fan.

    AEG's Adventure Keep series: experiences?

    Alrighty, thanks very much. How about the campaign angle - any experiences/advice for stringing them together, or are they by design better suited to non-core-campaign sessions? I figure, jrients, that if your game is infrequent, that you have less need/desire for a mor eintegrated campaign...

    AEG's Adventure Keep series: experiences?

    Hello all I have both Adventure I and Adventure II, AEG's compilation of the best of their Adventure Keep series of mini-modules. As I read them, I have lots of "Hmmmm, okaaaay..." moments, where things look a little shonky. From past experience my gut feel is often way off-beam. Has anyone...

    DM runs an adventure you know

    Hey I wasn't suggesting a list of modules for him to avoid - but a list so he knows where to do some minor tinkering.

    Green Ronin -- 3.5 Holy Warrior for Book of the Righteous?

    This consumer (and fellow BotR evangalist) say "YES PLEASE!" to a 3.5 pdf update on RPGNow! I have both my hands up, and my feet for good measure - that's four votes!

    DMing terrain well

    I'm not sure if you want to use props, but I find that second-hand bookstores often have back-issues of National Geographic very cheap. Even better, on the spine they have the locations featured in the issue, so you can simply scan across until you see something that looks like a good fit.

    DM runs an adventure you know

    It might be tricky given the sheer number of adventures you read Crothian, in particular that you read quite closely (for reviewing purposes), but can you supply a list to your DM of adventures you have played/read? Maybe categorised into 'Know very well/know well/know a bit'? When this...

    Ruins of Intrigue (PDF)

    Thanks for the pointers - most appreciated.

    Ruins of Intrigue (PDF)

    Thanks. Specifically, I was thinking of Eberron (or, at least, the mutated Eberron my game looks like becoming). Giants and dragons are fine, I think, and them plus ruins should fit nicely into Xen'Drik (or some equivalent). Setting aside, it sounds as if you think that AU mechanics...

    Ruins of Intrigue (PDF)

    Conversions? Hi - any thoughts on Ruins of Intrigue 's compatability with other settings? Could it be converted into a more standard D&D ruleset (ie with standard races, monsters, classes), or would the whole begin to fall apart with such tinkering? Cheers

    Houses to rob?

    If it's floorplans you're after, I've used Mansions and Manors by Darkfuries (available on RPGNow). It's cheap, and has about half a dozen large houses, with maps and residents. It's a little program you load onto your 'puter. It's pretty basic, but gives you the basics.

    3.0 Wizards adventure path: war stories?

    Hmmm, not exactly ringing endorsements from the players... Perhaps there are simply all a bit much when strung together? Am I asking for trouble here?

    3.0 Wizards adventure path: war stories?

    Yes, and here we once again find the eternal stuggle, the struggle between 'the need to modify' and 'inherent laziness'...

    3.0 Wizards adventure path: war stories?

    Glanced through it. It's fun stuff, but (mainly due to its form and intent) it doesn't really address what I'm interested in - the linking of the adventures into an overall campaign. The impression I get as a reader is that the party's patron simply sent them out, one adventure at a time...

    3.0 Wizards adventure path: war stories?

    I've scoured through these boards, and not found anything on this subject, but apologies in advance if this is a re-hash of an old discussion... Has anyone actually run (or attempted to run) the original Wizards 3.0 adventure path as a campaign? I mean right through, from the Sunless Citidel...

    Magic: The Science and Art of Causing Change

    PHB spells? Thanks for the review. You mention that some spells (eg Magic Missile) work out being 'harder' to cast than the standard version in the PHB. In general, how well do you think this new system would handle conversions from the PHB, assuming a fantasy d20 game? I'm in that (probably...
