The Fires of Dis I thoroughly enjoyed running the Planescape adventure. A paladin's holy sword has been stolen and must be retrieved. The PCs must explore Dispater's tower in the Iron City of Hell to find clues to its whereabouts--this part has the most screwed up but interesting encounters I've...

The Dungeon Masters Guide 1e It may not be worth much now when compared to the 4e DMG, but its still a classic. Features include: a random dungeon generator, disease charts, random monster tables, a "+2 backscratcher," the combat tables NOT FOUND in the 1e PHB!, Gygazian Prose, and poor...

Axe of the Dwarvish Lords This high level adventure focuses on retrieving the "Axe of the Dwarvish Lords." It's a long adventure featuring goblins, goblins, and more goblins. The adventure starts with a disrupted wedding and soon becomes a vast dungeon crawl through a huge dwarven fortress...

I'll take a crack at describing the ones I own on that list. There will be SPOILERS, of course! The Apocalypse Stone Warning! This adventure will end your campaign and destroy your world! --page 3 After what appears to be an ordinary qwest for an artifact "The Stone of Corbinet", the PCs...

From what I've seen where I live, 3.5e is not experiencing a renaissance--people never stopped playing it. They took a look at 4e and stated that they will not be playing it. I'm currently running a 4e game, but half of my players long for 3.5e. I like DMing 4e, although it is a little...

The Empire created warforged... ...they rebelled. Some continue to fight against the Hordes of Chaos... ...others rule over small fiefdoms of man... and they have a plan.

I just ran this module for a local convention. The seven players used the pregenerated characters in the back (Option I). At times the players went from being extremely cautious to downright reckless. The first 1/2hour was spent investigating the three entrances, but without going into any of...

Speaking of Character Deaths from the 1970s... This Friday night I'm running the AD&D Tomb of Horrors at a local gaming convention. I'm doing this partly out of remembrance of Gary, partly because I want younger players to experience an old school module that isn't based on combat, but mostly...

Here's a plan... 1. Hastily write up your own "official" PHB2 2. Sell it in PDF form on the internet. 3. Get sued by WotC for violating the OGL 4. Counter-sue, claiming that your version was published first. 5. ????? 6. Make lots of money. ;)

Sorry double post.

No. But then again, aside from the Drizzt novels, I never really was a fan of Forgotten Realms (as somebody else said "I think they should be forgotten"). I did sort-of like the 3e version. And, after skimming through the 4e books at a bookstore, I can totally understand why long-term fans...

Hey Grodog, I really enjoy your contribution. Thank you so much. It definitely has that "old school" style of play where you just explore a dungeon and have fun. :)

I like 3e as a player. Even when playing only core rules I can customize a character as I see fit. After all those years playing 3e, I still feel like I haven't exhausted all its options--like playing a gnome fighter! :p

Oh yes, I think 2e is also easier to teach new players D&D or even RPGs. In fact, one class is perfect for the newbie to play to get the basic rules down: The Fighter. :)

When my current 4e campaign that I'm running ends, I'm going to run a 2e campaign using the 1e DMG, like I did back in the day. I really enjoyed 2e, even with its power creep. 2e focused more on storytelling and roleplaying rather than all the cool powers in later editions. Still, you could do...

Wandering monsters helps take care of the 15-minute workday. At first it might hurt the PCs, but it will teach them not to blow all their powers in one or two encounters.

1. I'm sort-of over it 2. I'd rather play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 3. I'd rather be playing D&D than arguing D&D 4. I'll run the Tomb of Horrors in 1e, no matter what. 5. I hate converting modules into whatever edition 6. The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh is not all that sinister. 7. SHARK is...

I've used Dungeon Tiles in my games fairly irregularly, simply because it takes too much time to set up in game. Instead, I save using dungeon tiles for an important encounter. I use a combination of dungeon tiles and dry erase battlemat for my sessions. I find this works out as a happy...

Okay, I just got a year subscription to DDI and I am impressed with all the features they have so far. Character builder won't run on my Mac, but that's a minor issue. As a DM, I will be taking advantage of the compendium... ...and its all because of this thread! Behold, the power of...

Because of all the negative publicity about DDI early on, I wasn't going to invest in DDI. But, I have to admit, the ability to copy/paste monster stats would be really really helpful... I'll take a second look at what's offered. My main concern is that I want to buy something I'll use. I...
