    Desert "Ranger" needed pronto!

    Anyone remember the Desert Elves in this ancient comic book series? They were nifty. "ancient"??!!- damn I feel old right about now.....I grew up reading those. "Sorrow's End" was the home of those peaceful, desert dwelling Elves.

    Help with Pandemonium in the Veins

    I am about to get my PCs involved with this great-looking adventure from Dungeon mag #96, Pandemonium in the Veins. The hook for the other PCs is one of their party members has been captured, and its been determined via Divinations that he has been taken as a slave to this arena. MY QUESTIONS...

    Best Dungeon Magazine Adventure(s)?

    I will second (or third) the kudos for "Out of the Ashes" from Dungeon #17. I think I still have that one lying around here somewhere, along with a few other old issues from the first 2 years. Then I quit gaming of any sort for several years. It wasnt until right before 3rd Ed came out that I...

    [LotR] Return of the King spoilers!

    Yes, Denethor does not appear until the first chapter of RoTK, but I suppose it wouldnt have been unusual to see some scenes of him in the first 2 movies. Perhaps to stay true to the books, and not confuse the casual audience, he decided not to introduce him sooner.

    NPCs as Party Members

    I have been tackling this problem IMC for the last 6 months. The PCs are an average of 6th or 7th level, and there is an NPC in the party that has been part of the group since 1st level. For story reasons, he just hasn't left. He got killed once, but most of the party felt enough loyalty to...

    (ot) OSU-michigan week

    I dont think the OSU defense could stand up to the Hawkeyes attack right now. JMHO. They(Iowa) are having their best season EVER and there is not a weakness in any of their units: offense, defense, or special teams. The only near weakness is Iowa's secondary, which has given up alot of yards...

    What to do with this character down the road?

    I also want to note that the feat I selected at 15th level was Spell Penetration, but if anyone has any other suggestions, fire away. FYI, our party definitely MUST go back and clean house at the Temple of Elemental Evil. Anarion made a pact with a Planetar (Summon Planar Ally) to defeat Imix...

    What to do with this character down the road?

    This is my character after a long run in the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. That campaign was on hiatus, but now we are thinking about returning to it, as we left some unfinished business with the Temple. Anyway, my reason for posting here is that I leveled up after our last session...

    Help! Trouble at the gaming table

    Some players are not happy unless they are "hogging" the attention/glory, and thats not an indictment on the thieving rogues alone; there are Paladins for example (with all their special abilities) who can hog the spotlight in some games. With their high charismas, some tend to relish their...

    Mega-Adventures Vs. Normal Adventures

    I would have to agree with the majority that mega-adventures tend to run too long and therefore my players and I tend to use shorter published adventures if we have the opportunity. I am currently DMing a homebrew campaign in which i have used several different modules in this order( with...

    Recommendation for a 1st-level 3e adventure?

    I would also have to have Sunless Citadel first on my list. Its a short list: 1. Sunless Citadel, for reasons others have described above. A good dungeon crawl with good opportunities for diplomacy, and opportunities for each class to shine. 2. Ne'Morens Vault by Fiery Dragon Productions...

    Soliciting Advice & Stories pertaining to RttToEE

    WARNING!!!----SPOILERS TO PLAYERS!!--DM INFO ONLY I didnt DM the adventure, but I have the advantage of having been through it, and also looking through a copy of the module afterward. Our group started this monster in the early summer of 2001, and we didnt finish until about 3 months ago, and...

    Which classic adventure would you like to see republished next?

    I selected the Desert of Desolation series; mainly becuz it would be very useful IMC, which is set in a world where the elemental planes have sort of "fused" to the Prime Material Plane, and Genies, Genasi, and Half-Elementals have most of the power in their respective areas of the world. A...

    When was the Dragon Magazine at it's best?

    Here's to the Old Guard!! I have to agree with those that favored the early days of Dragon. I started gaming in 1982, and after about a year of gaming with basic D&D, i switched to what my friends were playing exclusively, AD&D 1st Edition. I bought up every 1st Edition hardbook available...

    tolkien as an intro...

    I was introduced to D&D initially through the library in about 4th or 5th grade. I would go to read books on King Arthur and other mythology. Once, while sitting at a table minding my own business with my nose in a book, i heard a group of kids laughing and carrying on at a table nearby...

    What are the classic adventure modules of 3E? (with a tally!)

    I have to say i think that Nemorens Vault was very good, and so too was the Crucible of Freya. My players had a lot of fun with the latter, as well as the introductory tie-in, the Wizards Amulet. I dont know if they are classic, but time will tell. I have to say I was originally...

    Who do you play with?

    Count me as a part of a group of old buddies that still somehow find time to game with many adult responsibilities to hurdle. Our current group does include 2 relative newcomers, but one of those is my brother-in-law and has been gaming with us now for 2 1/2 years. The core of the group is 5...

    How big is your party?

    6 Pack please I guess our group averages 6 PCs. In the Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil we just finished, we had 5 players running 6 PCs and one cohort. Now that is finally finished and i have gone behind the screen to start a homebrew campaign i have been working on. For that, we have...
