Ahhhhh the holidays have breached the gate and are raiding and pillaging! I hope to sneak in one before xmas this weekend. Merry Christmas y'all

I remember a Bart Sears article in Wizard, he had a monthly how to draw column called "Brutes and Babes" one month it was on accessories. He said if you want to make them really tough give them a seemingly useless shoulder guard. Because only a BA would knowingly wear something that encumber...

nahhh Lamia post away. Thank you for your contribution. I like that I had never really thought of it before. This shall add yet another facet of my npc development. And there are no bad ideas. Sometimes a vein of thought may not be exactly what the poster is looking for but in my experience...

Well I think Kratos done right and dynamic would be superb. I would love to see the Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver universe mini-ed out. I'll go back 2-d Original Ninja Gaiden would be BA. Hmm I could do this forever oh how could I forget....Castlevainia. Heck throw a large sized King Koopa...

Thanks guys! I love all the ideas not all of them doable but very good indeed. I think I will run with the battlements in which they sort out some people for mundane tasks and then a special drop off where the criminals and deserters are found. In the backstory of the campaign vampires and...

WFRP is a lot different flavor. But I don't blame that on you. That was something that should have been caught in your backstory. How hard would it have been to take a break and have a small meta conversation. What you are missing in flavor, they are missing as well. PC's are hardly all...

It depends what we are doing. If it's a one shot or particular AP such as Red Hand of Doom then the hooks are pretty pronounced. I usually don't go the sandbox route. Often times I find if left to themselves they will become beet farmers. They are adventurers the stuff of hero's is in their...

hmmm I like the entry points idea, even the games as well. I doubt I can use the dryad thingy, I do not believe I could communicate that over very well. I am thinking that once the pc's have the item that takes down the veil they have to take to a certain location within the vampy kingdom. I...

Seems to be an awful lot of hostility in these threads...:erm: Oh well. I think sometimes we forget that the DM and the players work in tandem. Each one has a role, if one or the other doesn't do their work the game fails to function as it should. Nor is it the Players vs. the DM If you tell...

This could be a problem since 4e builds up encounters a little differently. It is always difficult to solo game a dungeon you create because it is impossible to be objective. You know the door to this room is trapped. Maybe you could run some pre-builty encounters or just take some a character...

ahhh sorry I had meant that they harvested blood from the crop. the actual vampire population is rather small 50 maybe a 100 at max but I am thinking way smaller. there is day and night. I was thinking the general population doesnt even know there are lands beyond the veil. Idk this becmes more...

Ok so in my campaign there is a realm known as "The Pale Lands" almost a millenia ago it was sealed off by an event known as the veiling. This was in response to a particular brutal uprising by an upstart vampire who tried to raise an army and assissinated the unofficial vampire leader...

I remember during the 2e Ad&d days of Dungeon they had a module in which the party was polymorphed(? for lack of a better term) into orcs in order to infiltrate their nation and strike from within(there was a much more specific goal but I am at a loss for it). In the meanwhile you had to avoid...

I find this interesting because I have always viewed adventures/ap/campaigns as a series of interlocking railroad-sandboxes. I also find it interesting that these terms come into play usually when DMs and players don't see eye to eye. Communication is huge. Is there a third term that can...

Hoping to get an update in this weekend. Do you guys have a favorite character yet? Need more info on an unclear subject. I think I will post some mechanics and dm notes at the end of the season.

What do you hope to gain through the whole amnesia bit? What is gained by introducing a son that he doesn't know? Is he actually the son? Just some questions that might help us help you. The son would know that the man is his dad...right? The strange color changing man is following him...

yes win indeed. Happy bonding!

Hey everyone I am curious what little things you guys add to your campaigns to make them feel more believable. Much akin to Otiks spiced potatoes in the Dragonlance setting. I remember one character in a campaign I ran was a drinker and wanted to know where the brewery was located ect...

I like this as well thank you very much. I was thinking of fleshing out the pale lands a little and now this gives me a reason to do it. In events that led to the veiling there was huge evil overlord nasty vampire guy. Epic battle bbeg slain. Leaving his two vampiric sons. They actually hate...

Hey thanks Ry! I appreciate the support!
