I just had to drop a note; what a wonderfully underhand plan! I was so disappointed for you that the poison has not taken affect, I can only imagine your own responses! When did Morrus engage smug-mode?

Yep. When we were students, beer (and I mean the proper British pint of ale, not some euro-fizz) was always consumed. Now we're all working family types who usually have a drive at the end of the night, but the host usually gets to have a couple. The lucky occasion we get a weekend of RP then...

Jurgen, It is a good premise for a campaign arc. It will offer a very different game for several levels, and really make the PCs the centre of the game. It should provoke clever play as well as a few agonising plans. You know your players best and will know how much prep they will need, and if...

It is an interesting scenario. It does mean the characters can think in new, creative ways for their spells and items (as suggested by use of plant growth, what items come priceless). It will require quite a creative DM as fighting yet more low cr zombies will get boring. Clearly from phindar's...

On the question of future campaign sagas, Morrus/RangerW, how are the presubscription figures/other sales proceeding? I know its early to say as more people will dip in once more of the campaign is published, but are the figures good enough to make this a success? I certainly hope so.

Whilst this is a good idea and a challange to the PCs promising hours of fun there are a couple of points need consideration. This is not to dampen the idea but to make it a more thought out experience. Firstly contagious undead is nothing new. Ghouls and their fever are reasonably common...

What makes a traditional zombie plague so lethal is the alien nature of the zombie. The unending need to devour life, forsaking injury to self, the incurable infection, all these make for something terrifying. However, in DnD undead are relatively commonplace, certainly there's a means to...

Are they special? Yes, in the sense they are leveled characters. That certainly sets them aside. Are they "the chosen", no more than the fact they are real life players. I think if they were the ordained ones then I'd have to ensure they survived or find a really clever way to overcome their...

Here's another "it depends" answer. Because it really does depend (I DM and play). A character dies. How, why? Stupidity - new character please and I'll work a way in for them, trying to avoid cheese the best I can. Usually this is easy as the PC's have made a number of social contacts with...

Quite often I would give a description of what style the character follows, but not detailed in writing. Gives a feel of the character to the other members of the group. If its important to the character then more detail would be supplied (so a cleric clearly showing his allegiance, a noble...

At mid-low levels, get the PCs involved with a heroic NPC, his cause of hunting a fell wizard (necromancer, orc shaman, something intelligent). They take good money to aid him. They take out a reasonably powered minion and earn trust. Then the npc and forces push against the BBEG. The PC...

Lord Tirian, thanks very much, thats a really cool tool. Shall have a look see. Now you see, the problem with where I live is that FLGS are very few and far between, most of my purchases are from the web.

Thomas, those are nice. I like the fact you've put shots up on the demo (tomb of the damned), so can see what you get for your money. And more on your website too. Next time I DM and need some tiles I shall look up "the forge studios".

I've brought quite a few 0one games tiles, really quite like them, esp printing the corridors time and again for massive areas. I've been reluctant to buy the wizard ones as I'm not sure what tiles are in each set; would I get proper use out of them? Is there a link or site showing the...

Check with the DM if he thinks this is possible (changing an always E creature through nurture), and see what he says, then you, the trickster and DM all understand if this is permitted in the rules. Then you can see about the in charactrer discussion (as the always evil part is rules related...

Common practice for our group; DM gives us the setting, where the adventure starts and asks us to create around this. As we try to balance the party out we openly discuss classes and get a view of what people are intending to play. The process tends to create a reason why these folks are...

Yep, I would play in such a setting. No reason not to. Well thought out setting would allow for the recovery of HP some other way (or encounters would be less frequent so not such an issue). Never having confirmation of faith makes for a stronger faith. The lack of assurance might mean the...

How high a level PC group? I ask as I was planning something with a shapechanger but then hit a stumbling block - namely true seeing. I've also stumbled across a spell (in phb2 I think), "Discern Shapechanger", possibly level 4 arcane. Both could screw over a well thought out plot. So if the...
