    Astronomy questions (edit: questions answered Thanks guys!)

    In this case they're outer space guys flying robots through a wormhole in space. So for my purposes, it sounds like barring something weird they know where they are. Which is fine, because they don't have FTL. So if I make the wormhole go bye-bye it's a long walk home.

    How do gods make themselves known?

    How smart are these gods? I mean, do they know any first aid or agriculture or anything like that? Honestly all I can think of is that gods will reveal themselves based on their own personal nature. A god of war might appear to a caveman in a dream and show the advantage of fire-hardend...

    Astronomy questions (edit: questions answered Thanks guys!)

    OK, so as long as they had some kind of reference point they could figure it out sooner or later? Thanks. I was hoping for something a little more disorienting while staying within the same galaxy, but you can't have everything and it isn't really that important that they be lost. Thanks again.

    Was I wrong?

    This guy does not want to play a servant of Ilmater. He wants to play a a chain fighter. He's not going to change his mind. So you're going to have to decide how you feel about that. But make no mistake this dude has made his decision. It may not be a concious one, but he's made it...

    Vote and discuss the campaign ideas that you prefer!

    If you end up going with #3, I highly reccomend Tournoments Fairs and Taverns from ENworld press. http://www.enworld.org/shop/index.php?do=product&productid=60&source=Publisher%20Recent&internal=1 It is absolutely excellent for a "challenge based" game.

    Fiction in Dragon magazine

    If you look at the Dragon Magazine CD-ROM, you'll find some outstanding fiction from issues 1-250. Personally, I suuport short fiction in Dragon. An idea can come from a story just as easily from a new feat.

    So, you all meet in a bar and decide to start adventuring together...

    Dang. Now I'll have to think of something different. Maybe the players each own properties with houses and hotels. They are each competing to have a monopoly on property. How does that work for you?

    So, you all meet in a bar and decide to start adventuring together...

    The best start of campaign I've heard of was that the PCs were all beneficiaries at a funeral. The Dead Dude was killed by your Bad Guy. The PCs all show up to the reading of the will. The Bad Guy doesn't know if the PCs have the Vital Information That Could Spell His Doom, so now he wants...

    And now a taste of things to come....

    My group meets infrequently. What I've done for a long time is give a summary of the last game before the current game starts. That way everyone can remember things like the clues that were given out, etc. In my last game I gave a "preview" of an area that was a little hard to describe...
