The North for me too. You have Waterdeep and Silverymoon for high-culture, high-magic, high-tech surrounded by high-danger, varied environments with a scattering of other towns. It's gives a lot of 'vanilla' variety while allowing the party a lot of choice and giving the DM plenty of style...

Eric, this is a brilliant gift and a great way to honour your Grandma! It's also a lot of fun. :) Please provide us with lots of feedback on how Grandma and the rest of the family react! One postcard is on it's way from Melbourne Downunder.

Bump. And just think guys...how many hours of use do you get out of ENWorld each day, week, year. My minimum would average out to something like 1 hour per day so my donation was a pitiful sounding payment .14c per day. I don't get that sort of value going to the movies!

50gp sent via the Paypal spell. We'll get this church's roof repaired in no time. ;)

Eddings and Eddings have always said that they took character archetypes and used them in the Belgariad and Mallorean. Knowing that, I can have fun reading the books. It's like going into a movie knowing certain types are going to be played with (Kill Bill, Unbreakable, etc). That's what makes...

So now I have to quote you again. ;) I love the ferryman and will definitely use it. Your throwaway encounters comment has spurred me to start another thread here. Perhaps you can become my official muse. :lol: The paladin dictator? :uhoh: :confused: Perhaps a Champion from Monte's Arcana...

After I mentioned my little old lady NPC who was just trying to walk to the next town to visit her sister yet generated 2 hours of roleplay for the party who felt obliged help her, BardStephenFox used the phrase "I had two encounters I considered throwaway encounters that the players loved" and...

So there I was reading various threads, picking up ideas here and there and then on the How far do you go in planning solutions to problems? thread these two sentences... ...triggered a little cascade of thought. :) NPC's that block or distract the party from achieving their goals simply...

...which includes under water, mud or quicksand. Imagine the party wading through chest high muddy water when unseen skeleton eels start attacking their feet. You can also use them in environments filled with toxic gas.

D'oh! :o Thanks. Need to explore more

Has there been any thought about a resources forum? You often get threads requesting a particular type of resource in different forums and it would be nice if we could get them all in one place. If someone would be willing to manage it, a giant sticky thread at the top could keep an updated...

Hi level commoners have been created so evil parties can kill them and get experience. ;)

Happy 30th Anniversary, DnD! So how many of you will be celebrating World DnD Day other than participating in official events? I'll be playing with my group (we start in 40 mins) who I've gamed with for 22 years. And I'll play in another group tomorrow but as it will still be Saturday in the...

Shadow Dreams Shadow('s) Vengence Malice of Shadows Legacy of Shadows/Dreams Convergence: Call of Shadows

Definitely I3 - both the party and the DM enjoyed the pyramid. I4 was okay but nothing special.

He sounds like someone I know who has mild Asperger's Syndrome which is the mildest form of Autism. He has a very poor perception of emotions and cannot recognise or understand them well especially in others. As with many people with this condition, he can act/react intellectually with people...

I hope the hole is adjustable. If a smaller character dropped a little too much of themselves through the hole :eek: :lol:

50-50. I usually have broad story arcs in my head and start with a few absolute details. The rest I fill in as I go incorporating the players feedback and fears as well as the characters fears. This also allows someone else to DM very occasionally with me giving a core objective (the party...

What is the cause of the shared dreams? If that is the trigger, it perhaps should be the name or part of the name. Or Mix: Shadow, Fragment(s), Thought(s), Dream(s), Mind, Time, Across, Against, Return, Lost, etc Eg The Return of Shadows (hmm Tolkien's sequel to LOTR was going to be the...

Years ago I read an article in Dragon about magic items designed to ease everyday living like the comb of untangling hair, etc. Over the years I've given my players several magic items designed for everyday use (rather than being designed for adventuring, killing, etc). Some of them became...
