    Arcana Evolved

    When I DM AE, I find myself trying to come up with the basic tropes that help to identify the races. Things like: Verrik are mysterious and have mental powers, giants are wise and mostly peaceful, etc. Although it isn't any different than doing the same with orcs, dwarves, elves, etc., it is...

    Arcana Evolved

    We are currently playing AE using The Ruins of Intrigue. One of the players made an interesting observation yesterday and since Ken helped write The Siege on Ebonring Keep, it had some validity. He noted that of all the AU/AE games he had dmed or played in, roleplaying was significantly less...

    Why aren't paladins liked?

    Do you remember the scene in Army of Darkness when the evil Ash is created and he goes on and on until he says, "Goody two-shoes! Goody two-shoes!" Well, he's talking about paladins right there. Then, the "good" Ash replies with what all players wish they could say after shooting the evil Ash...

    Overwelmed and in need of assistance

    Take a look at Dungeon #124. In it, you will find the new Adventure Path series that starts with The Whispering Cairn. Then, go here and download the web enhancement that gives you the information to set the AP in the Realms. 11 issues of Dungeon later and you'll have run them through an entire...

    How Big is the Big Picture?

    In the current Arcana Evolved game we are playing, the "big" picture is a ruined city (Serathis) that is being explored by both dragons and giants (the two main factions in AE). The PCs are doing their part, but nothing catastrophic has happened...yet. :] Things will start to pick up with this...

    Hardcore gamers

    But normal clothes have no AC penalty. I guess you could cast Cat's Grace, but it's a touch spell! Yes, I do read OotS... :p

    Hardcore gamers

    My story isn't as hardcore as some others, but here it is. We usually game on Saturdays because that is the only day everyone has off. Well, one Saturday, the person who owned the house that we gamed at announced that he had to move the next Saturday and we wouldn't be able to game. Not game? we...

    Punishing your players

    It's punishment enough just having the players roll their dice. Man, do their rolls suck! :\

    [June] Campaign reports

    Thanks! The only problem right now is that we are only playing once-a-month because one of the guys (perhaps you've heard of him-MEG Hal) got a new job and has a crazy schedule. Starting in July, though, we will be playing weekly. Luckily, I'm playing in a WFRP game right now and Merkel Vogel...
