Two words: DRAGON MOUNTAIN!! If you can find this adventure laying around somewhere it is has some great ideas. Let me see if I can remember some of the things that made it so deadly... oh, I guess some of these could be spoilers if you're actually playing this old 2e slugfest. 1) About 3/4 of...

Any more comments? Going once...going twice? :)

I was always a fan of Dead Gods by Monte Cook. It's got so many mini adventures and gimmiky goodness :)

Well, it's not a mystic theurge, but Geomancer from MotW works quite well too. I think the class was probably meant to be a wizard/druid build, but a Cleric 3 (with the nature domain)/Sor 4 can easily qualify for the class. I've got just such a character in a long running campaign (he's 12th...

From someone who eats out with a large group almost weekly: keep it at Rock-ola. The only resturant nearby that could have maybe supported us was Darrel's, and they just recently closed. There is an Applebee's nearby, but they never seem prepared for large groups and we have frequently gotten...

Yuppers, and I get tired of the same old, "He's so darn evil he's....uhm...SUPER EVIL." And yeah, that's exactly the point of having him pop out now: his support is almost necessary to push the orc hordes back, but once the Silver Marches have accepted him, they have to deal with him once the...

Hmmm...Henry I'm eyeing a spot in that AU game. I'm one of those Monte Cook fanboys that's heard a lot about AU but hasn't gotten a chance to play it yet. If there's room, and no conflicts with my Grimm game, count me in! NCSUCodeMonkey

Thanks for the replies! All excellent points, thanks. I plan on having the NPC be very "knightly" in the storybook sense, so in roleplaying situations I don't plan on having him be belittling. If anything he will praise the PCs for being champions of good. I am my player's biggest fan, so I...

First and foremost, if you're in the Fractures in the Ice campaign at NCSU, please hit the back button :) My players are about to encounter a rather epic event in our campaign and I want to make sure that it goes off well, so I'm looking for advice because I'm sure that this has been done...

Well, assuming that Fantasy Flight Games keeps to their release schedule, I was going to offer to run a game of Grimm, which I haven't played (obviously) but which looks to be a lot of fun. I could probably take in about 6 folks, all pre-gen characters. I'll try and get in touch with Eric (the...

Wow, so many good ideas already so I'll throw out something different. I seem to remember seeing somewhere (Song and Silence maybe?) that a rogue could use pick pockets to set a search DC when concealing weapons. I'll try to track down a more specific reference when it's not 3 am :D NCSUCodeMonkey

Whoops, I thought the subject was DMs - Do you thrive on decapitation? I guess that means that I need more sleep :D Seriously, I like using deception from NPCs, although sometimes I find that it's not necessary. Most of my players tend to be so paranoid that they "trust no one." Of course, not...

Dang...beat me to it :D

Boy did I ever come in on this one late! That's what I get for doing my homework... :) Regardless, $35 sent via XRP. I love this place... NCSUCodeMonkey

Is the spell really that much more powerful than Last Breath from Masters of the Wild? I mean, the limit on Last Breath is one round, but there's no danger to the caster. NCSUCodeMonkey

I agree. New players are not necessairly idiots! My current campaign started with almost all newbies, and I let them make up their own characters as they saw fit. Of course, I guided the process but they were creating the character they wanted. What I encouraged was for them to try out...

Yeah, that was Eric. I don't think he lurks here, but I'll let him know the next time I see him. If I can dig up the e-mail address I'll send him this URL. As for the games, yeah I'm interested in running one, but NCGDIII seems so far in the furture that I'll have to think about it for a while...

Ok, looks like it's going to be the Walnut room in Talley Student Center on NC State campus on January 31st 2004. NCSUCodeMonkey, Pimpin' NC State's free space yet again. :D

Thanks, everyone :) I am a big fan of Monte's stuff, so I think I'll go over and pick that up. NCSUCodeMonkey
