Absolutely a different module and hopefully a bit more rules-lite! I'm looking forward to having her. NCSUCodeMonkey

Feng Shui! Feng Shui! I read the rulebook a long time ago and I've always wanted to play. Sounds like a great group, so I'm in for that. Errr...crap. That conflicts with my game :( Oh well, maybe next time. NCSUCodeMonkey

Whoo! I will absolutely be there, for at least Saturday. And I'll be GMing Underoo Avengers in one of the Sat. afternoon slots. I don't really have a room preference although I will need some room to spread out...there are a few props involved :D. It'll take a bit of surgery to fit the...

"Denw smash!" and "Are there any ponies?" are my wife's catchphrases for her berserker character. My current characters don't really have any catchphrases, but my paladin halfling has a speech impediment; he often confuses words that sound vaugely similar. His battle cry, for example, has been...

One of my favorites is to have the PCs relive history, or foreshadow the future, by having them play different characters in a dream sequence. Sometimes the characters are statistically the same, sometimes they are different, and sometimes there are no stats at all. I stole the idea from Monte...

Hodor? NCSUCodeMonkey

Here's the dates I reserved at Talley for all the upcoming gamedays: NCSUCodeMonkey

Have fun :) I'll see you guys in April (I think it's April, anyway). NCSUCodeMonkey

I said 1-5 because I'm usually looking ahead about 5 levels. I tried playing a character once who wouldn't really "come into his own" until like 10th level and it just wasn't any fun. I'm too much of a "butt kicker" type player to have a mediocre character for the first 10 levels. So I tend to...

I've still got one from the first NC Game Day that says (black letters on white): I R.P.G. Nice and simple, although it wouldn't mean much to a non-player, I suppose. NCSUCodeMonkey

It might be possible to do both. It is possible to convert HTML to PDF. There are several free tools that do it, and several on-line publishing applications (such as Daisy Wiki) are capable of rendering content as both HTML and PDF. So, you could update your HTML and then convert it to PDF. Just...

See, I was going to say that about 90% of what I prep gets "used" for this reason. Most of my prep consists of what's going on in the bigger picture, so usually the PCs bump into that in some way or another. I might not use what I have verbatim on the page, but I'm able to respond to actions...

I think it means that there's a staircase going up about 100 ft with a bridge at the top of it. So, you go from the low side of the river, up the staircase, and across the bloom bridge at the top. So I guess that's 9d6 damage? Ouch. NCSUCodeMonkey

The encounter sounds lethal, I like it :D. The most important thing that you need to do is make sure that the rules make sense and are fair to the players. Lethal is fine so long as the players don't feel cheated. With that in mind: + Even if the ninjas get a surprise round, remember that they...

You might also find that there's a higher respect for authors on ENWorld, since the folks here tend to keep a close eye on the industry. I've often found that, when I'm talking to non-ENWorlders, they say "Monte who?" Anecdotal evidence at best, but it's worth mentioning. Oh and authors that...

The most important thing that I've learned about mystery adventures is that they are particularly hard to predict. What I usually do is to figure out the main players (the murderer, his lackeys, eye witnesses) and locations. Then spend some time thinking about when they spend their time where...

Had a session not too long ago where a great sword weilding BBEG executed a coup de grace against the group's berserker (we're using several Black Company character classes). The fort save DC, after damage was dealt, was 28. She could only make it on a 20 (a fact that I noted before she made the...

The short answer is that you won't be able to make him/her happy all of the time. Generally speaking, I try to make sure that there is at least one combat in each session so that my "butt kickers" stay happy. Last session was combat lite and my combat guy was chomping at the bit, trying to pick...

Worldwide D&D Game Day AND Kill a PC week all at the same time. Coincidence? I think not! :uhoh: NCSUCodeMonkey

I'm with Crothian. The party has threads that they're following, but none of them are the "meta-plot" of the campaign as of yet. They'll bump into it eventually and figure out that they've been mixed into it all along without realizing. Right now they're following the animated body of a past...
