    Shadowdale: The Scouring of the Land

    In short, I think it's excellent. I can't wait to run it. I've been thinking of how I might use it with epic PCs. I'd have to bump everything up, of course. On the surface, though, the situation does seem to call for epic PCs, since certain epic NPCs are MIA as a result of certain...

    An Evil party... Troublesome?

    There's definitely more to it than being a dorky hobby. There are people out there who consider D&D to be a satanic game involving witchcraft and brainwashing. The reading is out there. As in example, I found this article by Googling "D&D is satanic." It was the second hit. I don't agree...

    An Evil party... Troublesome?

    I agree. Tony shows love for his family. He loves his wife because she takes care of him and his family while he's having sex with prostitutes and strippers. He loves his kids because they're of his seed, and he would morn their loss like any mammal. On the same token, his best friend turned...

    An Evil party... Troublesome?

    How is murdering the person who picked your pocket LN behavior? The lawful side of your alignment should have called for a more reasonable punishment (as there was no justice at all in your punishment). Murder is an evil act. Your character's actions were definitely CE in my opinion (at least...

    Robillar's Gambit

    I agree with you wholeheartedly. I've really noticed how different books written exclusive of one another can really lead to a build that might not have been intended by individual designers. I deal with this every Sunday. My players have taken feats from Complete Warrior, Complete...

    Expedition To.... / Which Expedition do you want to see next?

    Holy crap what a good call. :) I ran this (from World of Krynn) 10 years ago with the same group that tackled classics like the I, Tyrant series, House of Strahd, Rod of Seven Parts, and the first half of RttToH. We had a lot of fun with Dargaard Keep.

    What do you carry your stuff in when going to a game?

    Blue Jansport. Three-ring binder under arm. ;)

    Did these old adventures suck? Nobody talks about them

    Rod of Seven Parts - I ran this module from '97-'98 with my 2E group. I had to change some things to make it fit into the campaign, but the role-playing element of researching the Rod and its assembly was a lot of fun, especially when a newly-assembled piece gated in a dozen spyder-fiends! ;)...

    July purchases...

    I order most things from Amazon (cheaper, easier, etc.). Recents orders include: Volo's Guide to Waterdeep Expedition to Undermountain (I've decided to use the old box instead of the book.:\) Shadowdale: The Scouring of the Land Three novels: Shadowstorm by Kemp The Orc King by RAS Swords...

    Passing notes at the table

    I voted yes only because they do it anyway. Not like it matters when the 30 HD beholder appears and starts disintegrating PCs. ;)

    Orcs: How Important Are They?

    Orcs are as important as the Tony Montana's of any campaign world. We need to be able to look at something and say, "That's the bad guy." And yes, there are other bad guys, but orcs are a staple.

    DMs are too easy on their players

    That's great. After nine years together, they know what to expect from me, and vice versa. I can't take all (or even most) of the credit here. My players know what they're doing, and none of the core players have made any stupid decisions or poor choices while role-playing or in combat...

    DMs are too easy on their players

    I'm currently running the Age of Worms adventure path from Dungeon (loving it!). We're about to wrap up the fifth module (Champion's Belt), and all four original PCs are still alive. Why? Because I'm running an adventure path, and I want to see them to the end. I want to take these four...

    D&D Computer Games

    I didn't get into NWN like I did BG 1 and 2, simply because I didn't have a computer during those early years of NWN. Once I got my PC in '05, I played NWN. I downloaded an Eye of the Beholder mode and just got lost in it for two straight weeks. I totally put down Battlefield 2 in order to...

    Memorable Phrases uttered by PCs

    This is more of a player quote: DM (me): "A large, eight-legged reptilian monster is lumbering toward you. It's eyes glow malevolently." Player: "Am I looking at it?" DM: "You are now. Roll a fortitude save." ;)

    Adventuring within the body of a dead god...

    Dungeon #100, in fact: http://paizo.com/dungeon/products/issues/2003/100 SPOILERS Most of the module takes place on the surface of a dead god, and as Vlaakith attempts to awaken its power with her wish spells, the surface shakes with tremors every so often. The portions within the dead...
