    A Kitten, or a plot line?

    Another thought might be where the kitten came from. Was it just abandoned in the hole by its mother, or did an owner lose it there (deliberately or by accident.). If somebody the characters' know left it there to die, perhaps it might be a clue as to the NPC's personality. There could be...

    Dead Again

    What do the players say when you ask them why they are behaving the way they do?

    suggestion: mid-evil creature with raise dead

    Is it raising or animating the dead nearby? Raising the dead (as in, akin to resurrection) has been associated with positive energy. Perhaps some kind of mummy lies beneath, one with clerical spells? Perhaps some remnant of the former priest king remains, wanting to keep a watchful eye over...

    Which modules you really wanted to run, but didn't get to finish ?

    Mad God's Key from Dungeon magazine. The party all got killed by the undead rat pack. Too bad, was a real fun adventure too up until that point, went well with the Freeport flavor I was using.

    Hiding Vampirism

    One idea I had for hiding vampirism is to equip the vamp with a Ring of Sustenance to substitute for the whole drinking blood thing.

    DM's what kinds of monster features 'annoy' you or make your job harder?

    Level drain, just slows the game down too much recalculating everything and also angers the players.

    WANTED: Dark Secrets

    A young daughter of a prominent nobleman or magistrate has begun seeing visions. Her visions are vivid and inspiring enough that it has got certain family members and staff within the household. The patriarch of the clan knows, and has to his best knowledge shut up and confined the girl from...

    Honestly, how often have you used gnomes?

    I've used gnomes pretty extensively, two PCs (one a cleric of Tymora and the other a bard) in a mostly dungeon game. The gnome bard really worked well with the party, both for mechanically (boosting and illusions) and flavor wise. One comedic lecture (inspire courage) he did in combat about not...

    Need a crash course in Ravenloft (S&S 3.5 version)

    Generally Ravenloft enforces a strong code of ethics for players by hitting them with a chance to be corrupted by a powers check for doing things deemed unethical. Part of this code is alien to much of D&D, so if you're not up to the facing the forces of corruption, you have to be on your toes...

    OGL game that could simulate Naruto or Bleach combat?

    If you're wondering what the naruto characters might look like in M&M, there's a few writeups on the Atomic Think Tank (M&M's official messageboards) under Roll Call. Check out the anime and Taliesin's threads. I think there was some kind of d20 naruto netbook floating around too. Not sure...

    The K-Team: Best Undead Adventures?

    I would recommend Totentanz from Dungeon #90, for 4th level characters. My players had a hoot with that one. The dancing dead were macabre and interesting, and the Wraith King became a regular foe in my games. The players will never forget stripping the town of every door to create an...

    How impolite is it to change a PC with a cursed item?

    What kind of player is the player of the character? How will he/she be likely to react?

    3.5 "Planar" Adventure Path?

    I was thinking it might be fun to run a converted Dead Gods, perhaps proceeded by a converted Great Modron March, game that lead into the 3.5 adventure Expedition to the Demonweb Pits. That is, if you don't mind drow involvement.

    I don't think Exemplars of Evil is doing that hot

    I've seen fairly new 3.5 books get sold regularly on the cheap at the half-price books over in Richardon. DMG 2 seems to be the most frequent one, although a fair number of cheap "Races of" and some of the Eberron books get put up there frequently too.

    Mutants & Masterminds 2e: What PL is Heroes?

    I've never seen the show myself, but somebody on the Atomc Think Tank posted a thread with conversions for it: http://www.atomicthinktank.com/viewtopic.php?t=20885

    I killed Orcus!

    And equal rites too! Interesting story. I'd like to here more about the imprisoned deity.

    DFW Midcities area games

    Hi, I'm looking for some gamers in the Dallas/Fort Worth region, specifically in the midcities area who are up for something a bit different from the usual D&D, maybe a Planescape game, Mutants and Masterminds, or a horror game. Thanks.

    Dungeons and Discworlds !?!

    I ran a very successful Discworld game for 2E very long ago using the GURPS book as a reference, so I can attest to its usefulness. Might have some notes floating around somewhere if it might help anybody in their endeavors.

    Dungeon #142

    Riding the rail by Christopher Wissel Train rides in Breland are never as relaxing as they should be, especially when the trains being used to transport a monlith hauled from the mysterious depths of Xen'drik. An Eberron adventure for 5th level characters Tides of Dread by Stephen s. Greer and...
