Congratulations! Morrus, et al, I just wanted to say congratulations. The store sounds like it has some wonderful advancements for PDF ordering. Duncan Haldane

*bump* back to the first page with you!

I've been involved since the RPGA mostly since 2000, when LG started. I had a little experience with LC back in '97, and hated it. The only game I played my first level character was in a group where the next lowest character was 12th level, and this was in 2nd ed. LG I mostly DM, and don't...

I started a new campaign last weekend. One of the players wanted to play an oracle-type cleric. She then created a background which involved her having a prophecy that would bring the party together. I offered to create that prophecy for her. I wrote about a dozen single lines of verse. Each...

I just wanted to say that there is no doubt that the RPGA is now firmly in the camp of marketing - this is what was changed in 2002, when the RPGA became free. It was moved from the status of a club, to a tool of the marketing arm of WotC. They stopped charging for membership, and therefore...

Perhaps complementary would be a better term than symbiotic I think having articles that complement each other, while not relying on each other is certainly a good idea. Duncan

With the press gang at the start, just remember that they aren't willing to fight for their lives - have them back off, flee, surrender, etc when they've lost some collegues. With the rest - the players can withdraw before they finish, to rest and recover. If they do and you award XP at this...

I would highly recommend Death in Freeport. Pirates are a traditional opponent. The module is simple enough for the players to follow, the city is big enough to have fun with. With the other modules for freeport, including the rest of the series, the Tales of Freeport, Black Sails over...

Well even then there it was possible to have an RPGA number and to play their games for free - it was a level of membership, can't recall what they called it. If you paid you also got the LGJ, etc, but that wasn't essential if you just wanted to play games.

They have changed the rules recently on the ordering period for events. Home games, because they aren't listed on the events calendar, only need to be ordered a few days in advance now. Conventions, Retail and Games Day events are supposed to be open to all-comers, and so are required to be...

Sorry, I should have written that more clearly. What I meant that the RPGA *produces* the modules for those campaigns. ie, the RPGA accepts proposals, sanctions their editing, etc. They arrange for the modules to be written and available. Some are written by RPGA staff, some by WotC staff...

The RPGA only produces the adventures for Legacy of the Green Regent and Mark of Heroes, plus the classics. They facilitate the release of adventures by Living Campaigns. The Living Campaigns are separate to the RGPA. The Living Greyhawk regions are a wonderful idea in my experience. They...

I've been playing and DMing for the RPGA since 2000, and most of my experiences have been good. Firstly, you must acknowledge that the RGPA has two types of campaigns - Living Campaigns, and their D&D Campaigns. Living Campaigns are run almost exclusively by volunteers. D&D Campaigns are...

I've read all the Drizzt books. The ID trilogy were ok, pretty standard Sword & Sorcery stuff. The Crystal Shard appears to be a stand-alone, with the next two just being more adventures of the same characters. The Dark Elf Trilogy was the first to show the angst side - if you like that...

Actually, Yraen is in the UK, where watching Neighbours is compulsory. In Australia we don't sit down to have dinner, we are all busy on our farms making sure we don't have a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock. We just eat while we walk (or "walkabout" as we call it). I don't watch...

Hi, Just noticed this thread (don't normally look in this forum), and I thought I'd say, firstly, Great Work! I'm just about to start a new SL campaign, so this could be useful. Secondly, could I ask you to post the conversion as a file to one of the Scarred Lands yahoo groups. ScarnTalk or...

Stealing items can still happen with instances - but generally only by the group leader. For example, in WoW you have a number of ways the leader can decide to distribute treasure. One thing I know has been done is that the leader changes the looting to him only during the battle with the BBEG...

I've been playing both World of Warcraft (WoW) and Guild Wars (GW) recently, and I like the instancing, although they are implemented differently. WoW has instance Dungeons - ie, when you go into an Instance, you and your party (or even raid group) get their own Instance of the Dungeons. So...
