Goodman Games has two modules that are only $2 on RPGNow. One is Transmuter's Last Touch, which I think is a blast. The other is "The Dragonfiend Pact", which I purchased, but have not had time to read yet. I have read through other Goodman Games modules, and they tend to be of high quality and...

I have not read the Strikeforce Manual in detail, so I would not be willing to consider this a full review. However, I have skimmed through it and gotten an overview. Frankly, I found the quality of this PDF to be disappointing. It looks more like a campaign document someone threw together than...

I received this e-mail today. I was able to successfully download the Strike Force Manual. I did have to go to the product page and again click on the free download. For some reason, it did not have a download link in the previous order where I purchased it. It does also show up in the...

I received a response from Customer Service about this product:

If you are already a local hero, then convince the King/Mayor/Whoever that these abandoned building pose both a threat to the safety of the city and aren't providing any taxes. Have the government seize the property for lack of taxes or immanent domain or whatever else and either give it to you...

On a hunch, I just checked my Account page for some items from before this Thanksgiving sale that were free. They're listed as an order with four more downloads. You might try for today's stuff of clicking on one, getting to the download page so you know the order is processed, and then...

I found a trick that gets around this for this special offer. It will only help you with the Thursday and Friday lists, however. (Assuming you read this on Wednesday.) Go to the Thanksgiving page. Switch the view to another day. The products will all be listed with their normal prices. Open up...

If you want even more obscure: There was a custom at one time (I honestly don't remember which country this was) that the part of the noose where it wraps around itself had to have ten windings. This was my first thought. I could make it fit the riddle, but I don't think it really solves the middle.

This video is painful. Made more so by the fact that I actually know people like that. (Though without the really cool gaming room.)

When it comes to third party products, the three I've gotten the most value for my money are "Elements of Magic" and the "Magical Medieval Society" line of products, especially "Western Europe" and "Silk Road". The EoM with some heavy rewrite has become the standard magic for my games and those...

In my early days, we used very few modules, so I never got to go through this or most of the other classics. However, I had just started a 2nd Ed campaign and one of the players had requested the module because it was a classic he remembered. The group had a blast rampaging through the caves...

If the party has any kind of reputation at all, the religious leaders should also have people scrambling to figure out if she really is on a mission from their god. Just because you think Joan of Arc is crazy doesn't mean you don't check to make sure if she's not also RIGHT.

I wouldn't limit myself to the "wrong" faction. If you are working from a model where the church can follow the will of its human members and not necessarily of the deity itself, why not have ALL of the factions try to stop the party? After all, there is bound to be someone in each faction who...

In college, we had a chess and gaming club where we had to take any student and put them into a game. We never had enough GMs for anything, so I've had 9+ players before. * Have a party leader who speaks for the party. This can help move things along if you have a decent player at the helm...

I have done this before, though I do it infrequently. The most amusing example for me was one where the players managed to realize a trap was about to happen and save the NPC from the first death trap, and then the second, and then were so determined to keep the poor sap alive that he ended up a...

My current signature: "It wasn't supposed to turn out this way. If they had talked to the rabbit, they would have figured that out."" --Prophet2b It's from a description Prophet2b gave of how an adventure went truly, horribly wrong. I still laugh when I think about it. (The quote, not the...

I have never had a campaign end because of a bad module. I have never quit a game because of one bad adventure. (Well, once, but that was because in my first session the DM ended up killing the entire party with an NPC he'd saddled us with who was about ten times our power level. I think we were...

Good luck with the upgrade. I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible. I too have to put myself firmly in the camp of "the new colors hurt my eyes".

Mazes Are About The Story You can have a lot of fun with a maze, but only if you play it right. I agree with Thunderfoot that what is fun about a maze is the story. If the point of a maze is that the bad guy can get through it because he knows the path and you have to track him, then it...

Not only is this Kitsch, I own a copy (on VHS). I loved this movie. It was one of the really fun and campy 80's movies in the genre. Now, you cannot hope to take it seriously. You watch it because it's funny -- not in a comedy sort of way but in a B-movie sort of way. I wouldn't have through...
