Mr Pink, are the people playing in this game the same folks that are playing with you in the game you described in the "My DM is retarded" thread? If so don't risk having one of them starting a similar thread about you. Taken as a whole the proposed house rules come across as tools of a...

This is an excellent question. If there is no precedent of surrender set in the campaign, than PCs would be less likely to surrender. On the other hand, the PCs were not facing imprisonment. The Dragon was basically "mugging" them, and at the same time openly letting the party know that she...

Awesome, now the party is not only out the funds needed to re-equip the two PCs, but also have to pony up for Resurrections. If I were playing one of those PCs, I would have handed over my stuff. When she flew away I would have turned to other PC and said "She is going down, nobody steals from...

After the dragon killed the PCs, did she take their stuff? If kill people and take their stuff works for PCs, it should also work for NPCs.

I missed the guy first time I looked at image, figured you might have done the same. It looks like a cave, brown walls are visible behind the crystals. The guy is there to give a sense of scale.

Rechan, Look closely at the area a little below, and a little left of the center of the image with the crystals.

I loved Dark Sun, but it has been about 15 years since I did anything with it, and I converted it to another system. Other than Athas.org I do not think Dark Sun has much of a web presence. For questions about 2nd Edition issues and problems you should check out the forums at Dragonsfoot On a...

What is keeping you in this campaign? The issues you listed in your first post are way more than enough to justify walking away. I cannot think of a reason to stay in a game that angered me enough to ask the question "Am I right in hating this DM?". I am with Umbran on the hate issue...

Life in an underground city or town is very different than a surface city or town of the same population. In order to make the dwarves not just short, industrious humans play up the cosmetic differences(tunnels instead of streets, either lots of carvings and frescoes on walls, or no decoration...

I have a couple questions about the Dwarf Kingdom Are most of the Dwarf towns and cities above ground, below ground, or a composite of the two? What factions, that might want to use the PCs to further their agendas exist within the Dwarf Kingdom?

Another way to represent height differences in battle is to draw a cross-section of the area. Our first encounter in the campaign I am in was in a circular tower. The second floor had collapsed onto ground floor, next to the stairs that went from where the 2nd floor had been up to the third...

I know it is an abstract combat system. However, what I was pointing out is that it does have a detailed system of positioning armed or unarmed combatants, 5'x5' squares, that has many rules applying to a wide variety of situations and conditions. What it does not have is rules for close...

Very good point, if the fight is just about avenging the slight made against the Enterprise, and thus not to the death. Having Bloodied be the point where PC or opponent "taps out" is fitting.

Along the lines of a brawl, does anybody have any houserules or has Wizards put out official rules for two folks occupying the same square? I think those rules would improve brawls quite a bit. Moves like a head lock, an arm lock then bouncing opponents head off the bar or wall, small...

Re-Skinning printed adventures is a great time saver. For converting ones set in a warm or temperate climate to a cold climate Google Image Search is your friend. For towns type in "Turf House". For any other area the PCs will go just type in "Winter" before the terrain (Forest, River, Hills...

Are you looking to slow down the PCs once they reach the liar? Or slow them down in getting to the liar? If it is the first one the demi-plane idea provides a bunch of possibilities. If Epa created the demi-plane she could have included things like terrain that changes from time to time, if...

One thing to consider in Epa's plans, is that she does not have to defeat her enemies before the ritual is done, just slow them down and distract them long enough. Having her flunkies cause problems all over the kingdom, in edition to sending an undead army will keep the PCs and the Kingdom's...

Sounds like a fun game to play in. How powerful are the PCs? Is Epa too busy with the ritual to intervene directly in the PCs plans to stop her? Do you intend to have this be the "Final Fight" of the campaign? For the Kingdom's Army vs. Lich's undead Army their is a thread in the General...

When dealing with overland travel I tend to what was done in the 2nd Edition Runequest adventures. That is I come up with a group of pre-made encounters, which I spring on the PCs as random encounters. This group includes opponents, and neutrals(many of which are drawn from groups or...

I have extensive time in desert environments (American Southwest, Sinai, and Saudi Arabia). The most important thing is water. An active Human needs to drink around a liter every hour when the temp is above 100F (38c). And half a liter per hour in lower temps. The desert is made up of a...
