I'm in with Whizbang, in that I try to nest them together. Most of my adventures (small scale problems) are puzzle-ish. Most of my campaign issues are much more character driven, and therfore mystery-ish. I rely on my players to help make the qualitative decisions about the direction and mood...

I gotta respectfully disagree with you, Nonlethal. I like the way the core is setup because if you are a player, then you only have to buy one book. If you want to make a larger investment to be a DM then you can. I can see a comprimise, in putting your Book of Magic into the Player's...

In my homebrew, dragons are the last creation of the uber-goddess who created the gods and goddesses who in turn created the world. The dragons' purpose is to guard the Weave that is Magic, which they do until it is stolen from them by proto-humanoids. Half of the dragons are happy or don't...

I'm finishing up my Master's in Opera Performance, and debating whether or not to go on for the Doctorate. The other option is to teach music in the schools and audition, audition, audition. . . Not much $$$, but I wouldn't/couldn't do anything else! RavenSinger

Thanks folks, Some great food for thought here. I appreciate your cautions, Daniel. But I think with Rob's idea of making the 'Golden Boy' and the rest of the party need each other, that is the way to go about it. It still makes the GB the center of attention, but less so. I am reminded of...

Thanks for all the responses. I will respond to each. . . gfunk: Can you tell me where your Pacifist character gets introduced. I started reading at the beginning and you were playing Pez the Fallen Archon. Derulbaskul: I have the same attitude as you. I like the idea, I am just worried...

Cool! Thanks for the tip GFunk. I'll go check it out now. --Brian P.S. Man, are you FAST!

I am starting up a campaign in a week or so with four players. Three of the players are essentially brand-new roleplayers. The fourth is quite experienced in DnD, but has not played since the advent of 3.0. We have done a couple of short dungeon crawls so that everyone is somewhat familiar...

Certainly an inspired idea. I personally do not care for the drug user/addict angle of the class, but I understand that is your choice as the author. I love the ability to create "potions" for higher level spells. I would prefer to have an ability to create more powerful chemical grenade...

I would like to add my thanks to the many that have come before. Your maps are of excellent quality, and are greatly appreciated by we DM's who are forced to have lives. I especially like the sea caves and the smuggler's cove, because much of my campaign takes place in and/or around the ocean...

Sometimes when I send a reminder email for the upcoming session, I'll do it in the style of a movie trailer or (more often) in the style of the old radio teasers. Such as: When we last left our heroes they had just come face-to-face with their arch-nemesis Larry the Lich, in the Temple of...

Love your list Takyris. I'm a little surprised no one has thought of one of the most classic swashbuckler/pirate plots: the secret and/or stolen and/or cursed treasure hoarde. Complete with vague and sinister tales about death visiting any who dare try to find it, and a subtlely misleading...

Amen Brother I think that was very well put, Berandor. I especially appreciate your comments on the key being maintaining equality amongst the PC's in having importance in the plot. This is something I struggle with in every session with my players, mainly because they are all good and...

I understand. . .I think. :) Thanks for the tips. --Brian

I have just started learning CC2, and I am really enjoying the possiblities that open up with the program. My problem is that my primary campaign world takes place on the coast of a very large continent. So I start with the default landmass tool, and draw my coastline (starting and finishing...

Thanks for your response. I think I will begin with the smaller scale map, as you suggested. No use in getting too far ahead of myself. I'll post it in a new thread when I feel it's ready. Thanks again, Brian

Question Hi Knightfall, I really have enjoyed looking at your maps. You obviously put a lot of thought and care into them. As you seem to be somewhat of a CC2 guru, I have a question if you wouldn't mind. I have just bought CC2, and I am looking forward to using it. I have a fairly good...

I might suggest William Manchester's short and somewhat fluffy read "A World Lit Only By Fire." Some of the descriptions of the corruption and debauchery of the monarchs and papacy of the time (Dark and Middle Ages) is just great for imagery for Lawful Evil religious cults etc. Just my two...

If anyone knows where I can stats for Dire Hawk and Snake online, I would very much appreciate it. I'm trying to put tonight's scenario together at work and forgot my copy of MotW. DOH!:o Thanks in advance, RavenSinger

Can I just say, all my coworkers were startled when I let out a heathy "WOO-HOO!" when I read this. Thanks Sagiro and Abernathy's Company for such a GREAT campaign! :D --RavenSinger
