Region E worked really well for me, with the beleagured garrison providing a good base for operations in to the other areas of E. The different tactics needed to fight the shadows, the barghests and the shadow hounds made for good variety, and having the garrison present gave the party a focus...

has anyone DMd the northern part of Region M? tips, comments and gotchas welcome. I'm dumping my party across the lava river with a promise that they leave the Spider Kings alone. They may decide to try and get back to the Garrison in E via J and I. It just seems that the top half of M is a...

I'm still here as well, but have been over in the US for the last few weeks, so it will be a about 3 weeks before we game again. The party has just hit 10th level and is now on the other side of the lava (having been levitated there by the Spider Kings).

and the party have finished with the Drow and Driders. A battle with Elotor started mid-conversation as the party interpreted his defensive casting (displacement) as hostile and threw a silence spell at the table between him and Sinalith - disrupting their spells. Flesh golems moved forwards...

still in region M with the players of the dwarf eldritch knight and human cleric still away I felt justified in having had them captured. The party holed up in the hidden drow infirmary (having been taken there blindfolded by the rebels). The Mystic Theurge helped Umressintra, so she helped heal...

Two weeks before Easter the game session had ended with half the party unconscious, a freshly summoned paladin, and the Driders and Drow steadily gaining the upper hand. The continuation of that session happened last night. Two of the players who had still standing characters last time (Dwarven...

thanks for the suggestions Ogg. She has in fact just come out of a major battle (in G). She's not the brightest character (int 12) but her wisdom is 15 and charisma is - well - let's just say that failing a saving throw or having to hold back dispensing LoH is rarely an issue. She can assess a...

a battle too big for one session feeling confident and having healed themselves back to full hitpoints (though now starting to get low on spells) the party decides to go and tackle the spider kings. They have a map showing the cavern with the machine. The rogue sneaks off to have a look - sees...

Wish I'd had that in A now, though my group pretty much went straight north through A and missed 80% of the region (they did enter the dungeon at level 6 though). Might do something similar if they get to N though - maybe with scarab beetles ala The Mummy. Agreed. My group also went there from...

It says in the opening paragraphs that the Derro cracked the roof (flooding here and L), and later that the dragon has gotten too large to leave, so perhaps there are fissures in the ceiling allowing reflected light to pass down. I'd be half tempted to add a degree of phosphorescense to the...

Hussar did one - available on my website (holding pen for stuff that never got put on James Lorimor's site).

Invisible Stalkers rock. The party are slowly changing their tactics, delaying actions until the ones with good spot rolls are able to pinpoint a location, and the sorcerer keeps casting mirror image to lessen the chances of getting flat-foot wallopped. Oh - and Blind-fighting, with the not flat...

sounds like a good idea - might change it a little as they might see it as a way of collecting arrows ;) I figure that the party will still go after the World Eater - tying the regions together and giving them a sense of the bigger picture with the 2 garrisons (even though they only visited...

and in to Region M Discussion within the party about whether or not to search for the reagents needed to complete the ritual to destroy one of the twins looked like having the group go backwards, especially with them worried that the Spider Kings would be harder to stop after Eight-Strike Fang...

post 2000 on page 50! w00t! :) have added a map (http://150.101.101.161/wld/rebelM.jpg) of M that the drow rebels in the north east corner of region I can give to the players. I'm planning on having my group move there this weekend.

looks like things are going fairly well with a nice mix of combat and roleplaying. just some tips from a long time DM (over 25 years) ;) there is a tendency for first time DMs to be a little over-generous with the treasure. My players would be drooling at the goodies that your characters...

I haven't spent any time going through D (except very briefly well over a year ago), but could you somehow use the mining to destabilise the terrain? Frequent rockfalls from the ceiling, collapsing ground underfoot, with perhaps some residual celestial magic that tries to heal the damage to the...

It has to be all the same case? You are "jim pinto" on these boards and inside WLD, and "JIM PINTO" on your blog and on the front cover of WLD. Ah - it's a reversible spell! Summon jim pinto, or SUMMON JIM PINTO gets the happy helpful variant, while the Summon Jim Pinto, or SuMMoN JiM PiNTo...

Ah HA! we now have the verbal component of the Summon Jim Pinto spell ;) But seriously Jim - your book has spawned the largest thread on ENWorld (even discounting the 600 posts lost in the server crash), countless adventure blogs, an audio podcast (rpgmp3) and more hours of roleplaying (at...
