A room of nests with fake eggs representing the number of spawn of the lizard king. A sigil or marking is on the bottom of each egg, which are (now) the marks of different tribes of lizardmen. Piles of lizardman skins from previous sheddings/moltings. A larder with the remains of lizardman...

In game problem, in game solution. It sounds like the party is ready to drop the druid. So do it. The other party members form a new band of adventurers and the druid is not invited. Not every pc partnership or friendship lasts forever. Unless there is some reason that these particular...

I'm at work. I'll have to check and see about the name when I get home. I may not be correct about the name. Stormbringer is sounding better to me as I think on it though. I've heard about the adventure, but I've never located that issue of Different Worlds.

Regarding the sword wielding character in the V&V section you have listed as unknown, he is called Excalibur. (GMV has almost all V&V modules and game books :) )

In the comics, it wasn't a matter of the Kryptonians being conquerors. Jor-El felt that because of the powers Kal would possess and his Kryptonian heritage that it would be natural for him to rule the earth. It was a matter of Jor-El's feeling that Kryptonians were more "civilized" than humans...

In the comics Rogue was fighting Ms. Marvel (who had flight, superstrength, toughness). Rogue touched her and, because Mystique, whom she was working with, told her to hang on to Marvel even after she had absorbed her powers and knocked her out. She permanently absorbed Marvel's powers...

There is an overview of the various areas with the Seven Kingdoms and Cymril given more attention than the rest.

They are pretty good modules. For B12 the players need to use their head or they will get overwhelmed pretty easily since the odds are stacked against them.

I salute a fellow commo-geek! As well as a fellow servicemember who was interred, I mean stationed, at Ft. Hood! :) What unit were you assigned in "the land where the clouds are higher than the sun?"

US Army 31K (Combat Radio/Wireman) formerly of the 89tm MP Bde, HQ Unit. While in Gulf War I, I ran a Basic D&D campaign and a street level Champions game. I was even able to run/participate in a Car Wars circuit. (I was the Southeast Asia Autodueling Champion of 1991. My buddies in my...

Thank you very much. :)

I've gotten my group to choke up three times. 1) During a Robotech campaign the players were defending a Robotech Factory during the "Zentraedi Breakout." Arriving a few hours before the Z attack, emergency repairs and ammo reloads are provided to the PCs. They met with the other destroid...

I'm afraid to use my Central Casting books (there were 3 for background and 1 for dungeon creation) because they are so worn out now. But my players had fun using it. I tended to limit the squirreliness so it wouldn't get too weird by not allowing additional rolls on the tables. I even had a...

Yup. Usually new players use it, but after a couple/three times they start having their own ideas and don't. Which is fine for me, saves paper, ink, etc. My experienced players will either hand me something they've written or will fill out the questionnaire anyway so I can have a reference...

Sometimes my players don't have any ideas or feel like they are being given some kind of homework assignment. I found a pretty decent background character questionnaire on the net and use it regularly. A quick and simple 25 or so questions asking about family, friends, enemies, personal...

I don't have a lot of d20 adventures myself. However, as Dave knows, I am an OD&D fiend. I would recommend the following (with the proper changes of course): B1 In Search of the Unknown - Finding and searching a lost castle B3 Palace of the Silver Princess - Finding a lost kingdom! B4 The...

Have you ever ran a superhero campaign? If you have, use that experience to think through what you could do since superhero campaigns have differing power levels. I have ran mixed level games and the important thing to remember is to match the lower level PCs with the appropriate challenge...

I agree. The out of game problem (railroading) cannot be solved with an in-game solution. I still think that an in-game problem should always be solved with an in-game solution, not a meta-game one. Agree to disagree though. :)

It doesn't bother me if players talk over the table. However, if I think they are getting too nitpicky tactical or trying to pull off a realy complex plan on the fly, I will ask for Int, Spot, Listen, or any other check appropriate to portray the PCs being aware of each other and acting...
