Yes, Thor's sons Magni and Modi are present in the religion of the world. Magni is sort of Thor's heir apparent, and the strongest being in the universe, and still wields Mjolnir, as well as Thor's magic belt. Modi is patron of berzerkers and battle. The genasi are same as the rules out of...

I should post a note here about the races of this world. Humans fall into 2 groups: the Northmen, and the Wulgash (a swarthy people that are refugees from a dying world). Elves are either Moon Elves(Drow) or Sun Elves, followers of the Vanir. Moon Elves are said to be the original race of...

Greetings all!! This is the initial foray into the story hour of my homebrew campaign, the Sundered Realms of Midgard. The campaign takes place in a world that is rebuilding itself 1800 years after the epic battle of Ragnarok. The surviving Norse Gods are joined by newer Deities. This...

Well, after 2 years of real time and about 13 levels of adventuring for these heroes, they do understand one thing by now in my campaign. I have no problem killing PCs if they do something stupid, have bad luck, or just get in against overwhelming odds (again, maybe stupid). They do not suffer...

Well, the campaign has taken a short break with differing schedules and what not, but we finally got together for a session last sunday and the PCs are still messing around in some of the lower levels of the Burial Halls. However, we are meeting this sunday again, and perhaps this will be...

As a Dm I find modules provide a good basis for adventure. But I tend to tweak them quite a bit, as some others have said. A map from one module may be spliced to a city from my homebrew campaign. Especially if the map is memorable. For example, my PCs were venturing towards a seedy...

In 1st Edition(Unearthed Arcana Era), one player in our campaign had an elven Mage/Thief-Acrobat (around 11th level or so both classes) who was reknowned for being impossible to kill. With his spells, his thieving skills, and his plethora of horded magic items, he was always the last man...

I should also note that in a previous campaign, as a player, I ran a Cleric/ Radiant Servant of Pelor through the RttTOEE and he ended up being possibly the most powerful character in the party. I dont know if I intended that or not when I was lower level and making decisions on his feats...

Yes, I agree that as a GM you ARE NOT playing against the players. But in my game, in the role as judge and jury of game balance, I find that relying on the average player to consider the big picture is often futile and overly optimistic. I find I have to take the initiative on these matters...

-the monster stat cards from 1st Ed. -Dungeon #1 and several other early issues -Dragons 60-150 -Ist Ed Core Books -Warduke, Strongheart, Melf, etc. action figures, although they are in bad shape -Basic and Expert Box Sets(Erol Otus art circa 1981) -many 1st Ed modules, including the separate...

I have been running a campaign for the last 2 years and there have been multiple NPCs tagging along with the party at various times. But none that I considered my PCs. They were little more than an afterthought. They had their support role, and if the party wanted them to stay, they stayed...

I voted "Lengthy" due to the fact that I use an altered Norse Pantheon from Deities and Demigods, but I probably should have gone with the last choice, as stories of the Gods and their religions dominate the history of my campaign. My campaign takes place about 1800 years after Ragnarok, and...

Thank you for all the replies. I have put out strong hints already, and a couple players recognized enough to have the party use the alternate entrance. but after several encounters in the lower levels, they keep talking about going back up there. Now, in their defense, they are coming up...

I am suffering from a party of PCs that seems to know no restraint. They have recently encountered a well-fortified group of creatures guarding the Burial Halls of the Tomb of Abysthor (see NECROMANCER GAMES module). The fortified group is purposely tough, but the PCs know of and have used a...

I must say that for myself I am pleased with the sound of these changes. I never liked the addition of Polyhedron to Dungeon. I have used Dungeon adventures since the SINGLE DIGIT issues to supplement my DnD gaming material, not provide me with useless d20 games. give me Dungeon by itself and...

3.0 still gets my Vote! Have been running a 3.0 campaign since the summer of 2002, and other than a 6 month break while I was at Fort Leonard Wood on active duty in the Army, it is still going strong. Someone else DMed a short campaign while I was gone, and they had begun incorporating 3.5...

Staffan, Thank you very much!!

for background, this question is due to a character "rebirth". Several sessions ago, an Earth Genasi Fighter/ Berserker was killed before his time. The Earth Mother intervened and sent him back, but transformed now. He will return an Half-Earth Elemental of 10th level. As a Genasi, he was...

so can anyone help me out here? I have Manual of the Planes and cannot find the ECL adjustment in there for a Half-Earth Elemental. (the CR adjustment is +2 I believe, but that does not help). Perhaps it is listed elsewhere, but I dont know where. If anyone can at least point me in the right...

SEVEN times...thats right.....PJ fooled me seven times!! I kept going back because he swore to me he was bringing my character back for the final installment. He brought Gandalf back, so I figured it was only fair. Anyway, I kept watching and watching, but never saw my scene. I guess I will...
