Ah yes new wave. Like others I had problems with them to but in an opposite manner. I saw a product in their catolog that I wanted that had been out for a while. I ordered waited two or so weeks before I called and found out that the product was out of stock and might never come back into stock...

Paladin diversfication Theirs options for making a paladin, different from other paladins that can be found as an optional rule in the dmg. This option let a paladin choose what mount they gain from a wider variaty. Thats not the only place to look for options though. There are 7 core races...

I suscribed breifly and I wasn't that impressed with the quality. Being able to custimize the adventure to a certain level was nice but I wasn't that impressed with the stories and such. The real problem is that for the last say half a year new cotent have come at a snail's pace if at all so...

Some of my favorite games as a player have had no pubished modules being run. The combats were also slow because of the scale. I think of the times like when the party lead the dukes troops in battle against a group of bandits and their leader escaped. I also remember the later battle and the...

Sandstorms are an obvious answer. Consider planting some potential plot seeds that you can draw upon if your main plot goes astray later. For instence you stumble across a stranded adventurer who was magicly transported here to be killed of thirst or hunger, and the caravan happens to run...

As a new dm rotating dutys with another dm I haven't run enought adventures to classify whats the most common. But the one I'm planning to run after the current one is Quest For the Sparkly Hoozits with a lot of twists planned starting as We're On The Outside Looking In, and containing...

I've bought a whole lot if I had to guess around 60 with the majority being wizard of the coast esds. I've bought from the wizards of the coast store(when it was around), sv games, and rpgnow

As others said there are many ways to interpt hitpoints. Its a good deal of luck and skill for characters and a fair bit of toughness above what a normal human has. Normal humans usually are level 1 commoners or experts and don't role 4d6 drop the lowest after all. For monsters it really...

My first monster encounter was with 2 goblins I think in first edition (although I think second editon was already out). Don't remember any details. The game stopped shortly and I did not gain intrest in the game until near the end of second editon when I started playing for real and never gave...

Almost everything in books and movies can be used, it just a lot of it makes for a bad game. A few things that are inbetween not usuable at all and usable in the realm of only a good dm can use them well with the right group would be the following. 1. Scenes where the narration moves to...

I used The 3.5 players handbook The 3.5 monster manual The forge of fury (adventure being run) I had the 3.5 dungeon masters guide with me but I didn't need to look anything up in it so it didn't get used.

Yay, an update. I'm glad your writing this again, its an enjoyable read.

If I was a player I would remember that there is no magic spells in reality and ignore it. If I was a dm, well just ignoring the fireball is no fun (If it was really targeted at me the dm, not a controlled monster or npc). I'll change it into a meteor swarm, intensify it (meta-magic feat...

The best way to make grunts (like the arctic kobold warriors) useful against high armor class opponents., is touch attacks. Give them all some tanglefoot bags which are no big treasure at high levels. Bombard the fighter with them to slow him down, or the spiderclimbing character to make him get...

My pc's have never killed innocent npcs. Quite the opposite really, they have let captured orc shamans leave alive, and defeated troglodytes continue to live their lives and even left those troglodytes in a position to keep their young protected. I'm glad that my group shows mercy, for thats the...

The cleric and the sorcerer failed but they were mainly casting spells a few things of note. We were playing 3.5 so the trogs stench wasn't that effective on the casting characters. I had a party of three who went around the trogs for a while so they were all level five. The fighter made the...

It continues to heal them unless they die in which case the fast healing stops. I believe that it shoud stabilizes the pc as a cure minor wound does the same, but I don't have my books with me. The one thing I'm not sure of is on the pc's first turn unconsicus does the bleeding or the fast...

Sorry for bumping this thread but as this thread is now a treasure trove for a dm running the forge of fury I thought I'd archive the session I ran in the Forge today. It was a interesting session. It started by a battle in the troglodyte caves against the 5 warriors, the giant lizard, and the...

You know what there is only one element that is constant in good adventures (and wether a adventure is a good adventure varies depending on who you ask) This one element is that the adventure a good match to your group. I'm not going to explain what makes it a good match because that is very...

As much as dead gods is a good adventure don't you think its a little too long for 8-10 hours of gameplay. But as it was asked what the adventure was let me describe it a little Its a huge planescape module for second edition, where the players slowly find out about
