Still the end effect is you took his good players to a weekday night and have your own new group his night. He in the end is left with nothing. An unintentional replacement. Which he may have taken a little harder than you meant.

I think there was one, but it got buried. Sometimes happens. Anyway it is a neat tool. I hope once the sub wall comes up the print button appears and that monster stat blocks are added in. Be great if you could print the encounter out in the adv format.

That makes it okay to just be goblins not modified for the realms at all? The adventure doesn't bug me as much as using enemies we've seen in multiple other products. Have the stat blocks but at least have something more original.

Which is my bigger problem with this book. Why do we have so many goblins! Having some low level lackeys in the adventure would have been great. Make it more useful and in the vein of a FR campaign book. Instead more goblins instead of new creatures/villians like those in the threats part.

The loudwater sections is about 30pages in a 300 page book. 30 pages that could have been used in giving a little more details on the threats. Instead we get more stat blocks of goblins. The problem isn't so much the adventure, but that the adventure doesn't really take advantage or show the Realms.

I think it all depends. A broken character should be discussed before hand and banned. Pretty much at that point its the player who is out of line, since it most likely will be bad for the game. For other things, I think the question is does the dm always disallow it. I mean if I have an Iron...

I knew I spelt that wrong, been a while. He was a sorta ally in our old campaign, more he helped to annoy Fzoul. I remember him playing with the Shadow Weave. Be fun to have him be the main villian, especially using the Zhents. Be intresting since the new harpers dont seem to be focused on the...

Well there is very little of player information in this book. So crunch and even background fluff for players is missing. This is clearly a dm only book. Which I think is a good thing.

Read a bit the other day in a store. I'm not a huge fan of the spellplague. However, I hated all the rse in 3e realms (2e was last campaign in the realms). So I wasn't expecting to like this book. However, the overall guide is quite nice. The loudwater is a bit of a waste. I would have rather...

Mostly my group will get it for the classes. However, we did have a massive campaign in 2e where a character or two became powerful wizards allied to the Harpers and BlackStaff. Got to epic sort of levels. Been thinking of having one of the players survive the spellplague. Lost his powers...

I've been dming the Rise of Runelords and we have switched it to 4e and it runs pretty well so far (5th module). My group is still on the fence with editions (testing a bit, but the summer is tough) but paizo 4e would switch us over fully.

My group has had only one session so far at 13th level (we converted over our Rise of the Runelords/AgeofWorms to see how it worked). As DM it was hard to tell. However, the Radiant servant cleric was noticeable with an increased critical 19-20 on radiant attacks as well as the action point...

I dont think Hickman was terrible with doing it either. However, once the plot story heavy modules started to be made and be popular, railroading was inevitable. Of course the best railroading is when the story is logical enough, that no one notices. :)

Have to agree I love T1-4, but the start up is all up to the DM. So much to do even in T1, but a lot of people missed it. The older modules tend to rely far more on DM story design and provide more locations and challenges. Hickman adding the story element in Dragonlance brought a new...

In no order, my favorite have been to DM (and the first play) Temple of Elemental Evil Adams Wrath Night of Dissolution (with the Ptolus path intro) Rise of Runelords: Burnt Offerings and Skinsaw Murders

So I guess Ravenloft isnt core DD? That sucks. Sorry to hear about it. Hopefully your other book can find a home.

I did mention plenty of groups saw it broken. I agree with the reasoning even if it wasn't a huge problem for my group. As I said in the following paragraph it should be left to the dm. If a group can't handle it don't use it. 4e is a very balanced system. However, a lot of things in fantasy...

I don't think summoning, famaliars, bards, animal companions and odd effect magic items were at the end of 3.x. To some people it will be incomplete unless some of those things are added. My group didnt really use splat books. I don't like that I feel I need to. (and yes I know companions and...

Banewarrens is quite long, but good. Id actually suggest Night of Dissolution. Its a little shorter and easier to cut parts out. :) (Of course I mixed the two and side things in Ptolus to make a mega campaign, but you did mention a time crunch). Also a number of people have posted the maps of...
