Risk. No, Seriously. Do up a map of the battlefield done up in rough sections. Have each of the PCs start controlling certain areas, and break the enemy into parts controlling others. When certain conditions are met (such as 'a PC takes the gatehouse', or 'an enemy takes four sections in one...

The Mission: Track down another member of your organization that's gone missing in the horrible, violent wilds. The Twist: The guy you're tracking down has gone insane! Though still honorable in a way, he has joined the enemy! Name that story! a. Heart of Darkness b. Apocalypse Now c. Heathen...

Wizards still has DL, and I doubt they'd sell unless it was part of the rest of D&D. Last time they didn't have it, it was licensed out to Margaret Weis Productions, and they ended that license in the leadup to 4e. As I recall, there was some talk that if they did DL, they'd roll the setting...

To expand upon my earlier post; FR (and Golarion, since it's been mentioned and it has the same problem, IMO) have never been able to grab my attention; they're both way too 'Kitchen sinky' - they have no apparent overridng theme, things are all over the place, everything seems like a pastiche...

Like (Psi)SeveredHead, except switch the first two. It helps that those are my favorites to begin with.

As I understand it, the RPG Industry Forums are specifically for this sort of thing. You could probably post in 4e General, too, assuming it was more 'What do you guys think?' and less 'Check out my product!'

Well, there's Tiamat and Vecna, as I recall. Possibly also Bahamut, Bane, Torag, and Moradin - I can't recall exactly. Basically, though, they're always statted at the very far end of the power curve, meaning you'll only ever face one of them and if you do it's probably the campaign's finisher.

Let's see... What I like... The System is almost entirely combat What? Why would that be a positive? Well, it's actually really simple. I don't need rules telling me how to roleplay. I can do that myself. Rules get in the way here. There is only one place I want rules, and that is to adjudicate...

Dinotopia strikes me as possibly a good setting for RPGs. I'm only really familiar with the first hardcover picturebook, but damn do I love that book.

If you know an existing formatting-based programming language (such as javascript) it's pretty easy. You basically define the various areas in the mse-game file, then define their placement and looks in the mse-style folder. The best way to learn it is to take an existing template and mod it...

A little OT, but my inner Eberron nerd is telling me to spew some lore. Apologies beforehand. Thri-Kreen are in fact a part of the setting; they are native to the Menechtarun Desert of Xen'drik. Additionally, they were one of the previous civilizations to inhabit Stormreach; underground, Kreen...

Exactly, I wasn't saying it did. I was just noting that I recognized the author. :erm: I still plan on running that module, FWIW.

It's disappointing to hear things like this... One of my favorite Eberron Dungeon adventures (Murder in Oakbridge) was written by this guy. I'm actually writing a campaign that uses it as one of the first few modules.

My favorite settings are Eberron and Dark Sun, and in both cases, the presence of an extended omniverse doesn't quite mesh with what I consider to be their 'feel'. It's no surprise, though, since both have their own cosmology and neither has active deities, which always seemed to me to be...

Q: How many skeletons does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: Just one, but you need a cleric to turn it.

That's how Zarash'ak always been spelled. Eberron, however, has only one B and two Rs.</peeve class="pet">

While I'm pleased about the new Eye on Eberron articles, I'd still like a bit more support for my favorite setting...

I'm going to be running this adventure on Wednesday, so I decided to make the appropriate maps to go along with the trifolds that came in the module. All of the maps are 8x10 1-inch grids. I made them in gimp, but made extensive use of Dundjinni images I found on their forums. They'll be a bit...
