    Homebrew settings and player appeal

    things i have done in non homebrew worlds as a player: acted as a high level npc's pawn (for good or ill), 900000 dungeons, brushed shoulders with literary characters weither it made sense or not, endless prefabed encounters from published materials things i have done in homebrews: set up...

    Level 1-12 around red hand of doom?

    also, to get them to 4th level i used the free mini adventures on the wotc site. there are some good, some bad http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/oa/20030530b I liked the ettin's riddle, secret of the windswept wall, and i believe the unwavering path. as i recall they were generic enough to...

    Level 1-12 around red hand of doom?

    I started my group through it at level 4 and they had no problems with the adventure as a whole. They kind of leave the hammerfast holds area undescribed for the most part, if you want to build higher level stuff underground after the rhod adventure, it's a good spot. I would add npc's to...

    Product with Armor as DR?

    a couple other products that use armor as damage reduction are iron heroes from malhavoc press and a game of thrones d20. I've been running iron heroes for a few months now and the only aspect of it that doesn't seem to work well are the feats that come along with it. they make a great number of...

    Inconvenient PC death in D&D

    I usually leave it up to the player. if they want rezing, it's up to the other players how to get it done, if they want to bring in a new character, I'll give them a few options based on the area they are in and reccomendations for common archetypes and let em run with it. ie. if we're running...

    You can tell when it's game night...

    I have to empty mine, everyone brings their own beverages and snacks to mine, nobody seems to agree which cola is the best for game night and one of my players is diabetic, taking a good number of the preffered snack types completely off his menu. carrot sticks at the gaming table? eew. pass the...

    Thoughts on the alignment of Assassins

    as I recall, the assassin prc in the dmg is based on the guild that operates out of the city of greyhawk, a decidedly evil organisation. hence the requirement to kill to get in and the assassin needing to be evil. as for the class in a different context, it's a skill set, having a skill set does...

    Best way to distribute free adventure

    you could always stick them on a free hosting site and then email morrus with the url to be posted on the news page. who knows, perhaps one of the many publishers who frequent the site would see them and like them? and if you are emailing them to people, ashthompson3 at hotmail.

    What are your thought on the Mystic Theurge?

    I have found that in smaller groups, this class is sweet. particularly if nobody wants to play a cleric or bard and you do not have a wizard either. I actually was considering making it manditory as the only way to get spells higher then level two in a homebrew i was dreaming up. the main...

    I'm a bad DM

    I am not saying that missing a single game night is indicative of a lack of respect but to use one of the innitial examples of poor excuses, why is it that the 39th or 37th day anniversary of the beginning of the relationship could not be celebrated in stead of the 38th? I should have specified...

    I'm a bad DM

    i think the core issue here is that when everyone agrees to do something a certian night, whatever it may be, with their friends and then does not follow through on that agreement it shows a lack of respect for the time and effort spent by their friends. Trying to come before a guy's girlfriend...

    Help me challenge my 12th level party with hobgobolins!

    here's what i did in my DL game to make the hobgoblins a lot more dangerous, though my pc's were lev 15 and had arcane and divine magic galore. I designed a special piece of equipment for their scouting patrols. It was a belt with eight chains that looped off the belt to be held by everyone but...

    Victory *and* death: Would you enjoy this?

    I would infinitely preffer this ending to most that I have encountered. If I was playing the appropriate character type and the scenario fit that ending as the way to make the biggest difference, I'd be all over that. It's better then dying in a random encounter or having the conclusion feel...

    Why dont you kill PCs?

    In my games, death is a far more permanent situation then most. It's an Iron heroes game using the setting info from FR. I have told the players that I am going for a low magic style of play and none of them have seriously complained about not playing clerics or wizards. When death is...

    Failing motivation to adventure

    frankly, a character that does not have an inwritten reason to go on adventures of all varieties is just a poorly written character. when i'm dming my answer to these problems is pretty much: "then create a character that would, i'm not running two games at once because your character doesn't...

    Wuxia in D&D?

    what i did in my oriental adventures game was get rid of maximum ranks in jump balance and tumble, give everyone improved unarmed combat and up the damage of an unarmed attack by one dice size to d4 subdual, only monks weither gestalted or not did real damage. i also just threw in a feat that...

    A survey on player choice... or taste... or something...

    the music is by far the best part of that site, makes me almost cry, and that clearly is the best mini for my current grey elf bard/druid gestalt character. lol sadly i have yet to ever actually play a ninja of any sort other then as npc's :( well my tremere has a bit of a ninja bent to him i...

    New campaign, hunters of the undead, I need class ideas.

    there is some great stuff in the book of exalted deeds, i had a paladin take some levels in a class i can't remember the name of that essentially gives you exalted feats as class abilities, if taken correctly, you can do damage to any undead that close to melee.

    Why not simply slaughter them?

    because it's far more fun to give them fates worse then death, plant cursed items in easily found locations and send the pc's false leads to get them there. a character in my L5R d20 campaign was only level 5 while the rest of the party was level 8 because his "cool new sword" had actually...
