PC's can become arrogant sods. Especially as they gain power and money. Especially if the players ignore the effects their characters have on the world. I was reading bits of Terry Jones' Medieval Lives and (from poor memory) he talks about a village that didn't want the king to use the road...

These are a must. The first, Under Sea,Over Stone is very young adult. The second, The Dark Is Rising scared various substances out of me as a twelve year old. I actually used these VERY loosely for a DnD campaign that ran for 18 months. The party had to track down the six signs of the Light...

And I would think that the plethora of Prestige Classes and other class variations and new spells and new feats would increase the chance of this.

Or more importantly, Tim Tams. Tiiimmm Tammms. Drooooollll. I've never really liked hotdogs but I love Mac&cheese.

Never heard of them before now. A quick google shows they have two stores in Sydney but most are o/s. Blooming Onions - never heard of them. Cooking Steak - usually grilled or bbq. I like mine medium. Steak has dropped in use over the years as the multicultural food revolution continues ...

Have them play in a game you or your wife runs. The other spouse observes the group in action. Afterwards the both of you talk to the would-be DM's about what they enjoyed or didn't enjoy and you explain what techniques were used. They then practice these skills with each other. Model the...

Actually, not so crazy. The group I originally played in (starting some twenty two years ago) gave the DM a small amount each game which helped him cover the costs for modules and the like. He also hosted the game so the money also meant we didn't have to think about buying coffee, tea, etc...

Thanks, Joe. I'll email you and Warden in the next few days with more details of my idea to see what you think. I just have to stop those other ideas trying to get on stage while I work on this one. ;) You guys are all great. This encouragement is doing me wonders. :) Thanks again everyone.

Thanks for that, Warden. Layout was not too much of the a concern for the sample as I'm just trying to unknot the ideas in my head and get them down on paper to see whether there would be any interest. Once I have a better idea of what my content is I will focus more on the page design side...

Thank you, Starglim. I developed an adventure where the party was tracking down the lair of a very powerful dwarven sorceror who went missing decades ago. While I was going over possible spells the dwarf would know, especially any that would help in creating and protecting his lair, I realised...

Thank you for the feedback, Pogre. I was planning to do 1 page for each 'version' of each expert type. ie. one for the low level, one for the mid and one for the high. That way, only the page of the character the DM wants needs to be printed out. In regards to a greater hook, I have other...

Battlefield Earth absolutely, The Bore and Armageddon are all up there. One of my big problems with sci fi films is when they break laws of physics outside of the movie physics of their world (eg FTL, transporter beams, etc). I didn't like ST:Nemesis ( I think it was that one). But the stand...

A Cast of Thousands - Expert Sorcerors G'day guys and gals, Wanting to share some of my ideas and I'm considering something a little more formal which may even provide me with some pocket money. However, committing the time and effort to publish something is a little daunting...

The unavailable 'smeg' for me.

Getting back to writing the letter... A couple of suggestions: * You don't have to write it all at once. You could write one paragraph about a very specific detail and then let it go for a day before doing another. Keep them in seperate documents so you don't read them all before doing the...

Work with another person as co DM.

I immediately thought of Enya who can do melancoly without it become a dirge. I like these (YMMV ;) ). For the songs in latin, gaelic, etc, I have no idea what the song is about. From "The Memory of Trees" Track 4 Athair Ar Neamh From "The Celts" Track 6 The Sun in the Stream Track...

I really enjoyed these. Waiting on the third to be released in paperback. Just started re-reading Stephen Donaldson's The Runes of the Earth, the first in the Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant. It's great to journey back to the Land again although this first volume leaves you discontented...
