    Your Gas Price

    My wife saw gas for $1.88 at Sam's Club and I saw it for $1.97 at another local station. There are still lots of places over $2.00 though. That is the latest from Myrtle Beach, SC. DM

    What are the "best" Dungeon adventures

    I second the Shadows Over Istivin series, as we just finished it and it ran quite well. Also Torrents of Dread was nice. I will have to think back over those I have run and I will post some more. DM

    What issues should a new group settle up front?

    Good stuff already. I would also add: - Depth of character immersion - Humor level (in-game/out-of-game) - Playable Races/Classes, etc. - Rating (G, PG, R, NC17, X, etc.) - Genre/Style DM

    Powdered Milk - Yum! (Or, what is your favorite weird drink?)

    I drink vinegar when I have a sore throat. It actually works. DM

    How do you move things along in a campaign?

    Have some of the townsfolk interact with them every time they are in a town and give them some useful information that they couldn't have accomplished their goals without. Make a practice of it until they are used to getting info from NPC's around town, but gradually lessen your initiation of...

    Rogue PC in undead-loaded adventure

    I agree with Reveal on this one. I just finished the Istivin camnpaign arc from Dungeon and in the conclusion of the final adventure, the Rogue of the party was useless. However, he is useually indsipensible for the party, so it was good to see others shine while this PC took a backseat for...

    Powdered Milk - Yum! (Or, what is your favorite weird drink?)

    I love Clamato. It is a clam and tomato juice mixture. They also make Beefamato, but I have never tried that. DM

    Darkness & Dread vs. Heroes of Horror

    I think that they are aimed at two different styles of horror game. Darkness is a more hopeless, gritty game with low levels, low magic, low hit points and almost a CoC feel. HoH is more true fantasy with a horror feel. I got them both and I like both, but I don't think I would try to...

    Where are you going for Thanksgiving?

    THAT sounds like a lot of fun. I am so jealous. We were planning on driving to Akron, OH to see my sister-in-law, but several things have conspired against that trip. I get a long well with my in-laws, but was not looking forward to the long drive. We have spent a fortune fixing the car...

    Inspiration and hobbies

    My other favorite hobby is railfanning/model railroading. I know this is a wierd combination with role-playing, but I find it very relaxing and satisfying. If you think about it, both DM'ing and model railroading allow me to create a world of my own. DM

    Does anyone else hate having their photo taken?

    My wife detests having photos taken of her and generally does not allow it. DM

    I Hate That I Lose Enthusiasm...

    Actually, yes. Another player is going to DM for a bit while I finish getting the new game ready. I don't think I am having "DM burnout" so much as excitement for my next idea. As MerricB said, I have had many more campaigns end than I have actually finished. I think I have "current...

    I Hate That I Lose Enthusiasm...

    I hate that I lose enthusiasm for a campaign when I know I am down to the last few sessions and I have the next one all planned out. The current game has been going for basically a year. Only two of the original 8 players are still in the group and only one of the original PC's is still...

    Darkness & Dread vs. Heroes of Horror

    I am not coming to the thread to argue or really even to debate. I am coming to the thread to give my viewpoints on the merits of both books according to my personal needs and preferences (which are different than anyone else's). I purchased both after deciding to run a "Heroic Dark Fantasy...

    Village module

    I second Crucible of Freya and also suggest The Vault of Larin Karr. It is also from Necromancer Games and contains several decent villages. DM

    Best Module Modding

    I have: - Placed Crucible of Freya (NG) into the plot of Temple of Elemental Evil (of course, I removed the Crucible and changed the deities of CoF) and located it south of the moathouse. They became two outposts for the Temple. - Placed Tomb of Abysthor into ToEE 's plot as well. The...
