Brother Berengar, It is with grief that we read the news from your Abbey. The loss of Abbot Jacques will be felt indeed. Unfortunately, such a loss is not infrequent in these dark days. Nevertheless, we await news of the appointment of a new Abbot. In the interim, we shall continue to...

Bob, We had a good time at GorillaCon. Got to meet some folks from the forums and some new folks from the Kansas and Missouri areas. Some of the afterhours games were just the ticket and we were glad to be a part of the event. GorillaCon is a small, but growing, event with a good group of...

You might look at Tabletop Adventures' Bits of Darkness and Bits of the Wilderness titles... these contain random bits of terrain description that are useful when building your own adventures, stitching together or customizing modules you've got on hand, or for those times when your characters...

Happy Chinese New Year... for some of us Hey guys, The smell of that chinese food is really getting old. The EO intercepted the delivery guy from the chinese restaurant. In his... ahem... benevolence, he went ahead and paid the guy and sent him on his way. Then took time out to personally...

I wouldn't say crabby... I'd say passionate and forthright... & occasionally misguided... ;-) Welcome back, by the way! - Marcy

News from Oubliette #4 Guess what! The Tabletop Adventures' Print Store now features a picture of my new office here in Oubliette #4. Just follow the link to the store and click on the menu item for Oubliette #4. The minions managed to sneak the shot just as I was given the first tour of the...

Tabletop Adventures' Print Store is back to normal operations. From what I hear, the EO has whipped his minions back into shape and has had them updated the Tabletop Adventures Website with new information for the New Year as well. Of course, with all this activity, it means that this little...

Well, we have good news and not so good news to share with each of you. The minions are happy to report that no minions have been harmed in the preparations and celebrations for the Holiday season…thus far. Unfortunately, the minions failed to anticipate the annual company audit. Apparently...

The Christmas Spirit is catching hold among the minions, several holiday acquisitions have been made and things are looking festive here. Pretty colored lights are up and a tree has been requisitioned, appropriately coded for budgetary purchases of course. So far, we have been successful in...

Tabletop Adventures Print Store has received a makeover for the holiday season. The EO has his bah humbug on and his cranky ways are in full swing... but this of course means he may be too busy to pay attention to the minion revelry. So this minion at least has high hopes of retaining her...

Its really only problematic when one or two players have a different perspective on pacing than others in the group.

Maybe its just my style, but half the stuff some PCs wind up investigating is unneccessary - and we should just walk on by. But does this happen??? Nope. Some folks can't seem to avoid fixating on piddly details, eating up game time, which results in a subsequent rush through the good parts. I...

So when adding fleshy bits... do you routinely drop in decoy stuff, so that players don't always think the things they encounter have significance in the storyline? When you add in fleshy bits, how do you handle time management in running the module to fit the time that your group has available...

To summarize... tips for running "unbreakable modules" so far include: - GM/DM prep (plan on a module cutting prep time in half, not eliminating it.) - ability to keep characters on a loose leash, allowing them to find their own way thru - customizing module to current campaign needs -...

So do you play with folks that are ex-military or architects????

I guess I'm not thinking wholesale breakdown.. can't complete the module because we ruined something in the beginning that we needed at the end type of thing... But breaking in that we don't seem to do what the module anticipates that the characters will do... given the set of circumstances...
