I also had a hard time with the "rescue the children" skill challenge. It was a strange one to do on a combat grid. SCs are pretty abstract but movement in combat, not so much. Still, its a pretty good running series of encounters isn't it?

The xp charts have been very useful. I don't mind dividing by five.

My friends and I stumbled upon a pretty cool thing while playing some casual DnD last night. We three got together sort of last minute and the idea was have round table gladiator fights where in we took turns running an encounter against the other two PCs. We each made up a character and...

There are lots and lots of positive threads around about improving the module. As it stands my main suggestion would be to consider trimming a combat here and there if things get too slow. Also, if you have a hardcopy definitely download the revised PDF from Wizards. It has a few key changes...

Deathdealer Re: Fire and Ice, in my regular War of Fire and Ice campaign there is a barbarian named Blackwolf... So, for the finale of the adventure I thought it would be cool to throw in a twist. It's something I worked with in my last campaign, Legacy of Brutality, wherein a character...

That would be great! Sort of like how in the Deathdealer adventure I'm running now the mission is to unleash said Dealer of Death and even though its a one-shot side game I'm tripping out on what that will do to the campaign world. In this case I think one of the players is going to become the...

We played through the Angra Swamp tonight. The skill challenge was successful, though they did choose to seek out the witch, Shanti. I made it a bit of an rp encounter with the "druidess" trying to convince them that the quest to slay the Deathdealer was a big mistake. Then they started...

At my table we call it the game of "Oh Yeah? Well..." Strings of interrupts and reactions can really wild out a combat round.

I've been ruling 1hp per square.

No, that's a photo of Cara the Mord-Sith, a character in the tv show "Legend of the Seeker", an Aussi actress. In the show she's a saucy mage-killer turned good, and all my players watch the show so it works for us.

Katrina Here's what I'm using for Katrina:

I have the same question. Is this part of some inflitration plan on the part of the Rags? What did you do with it SteveC?

Rangerwicket, are you still planning to publish the rest? Its great stuff!

I've found as a player, that it really helps to have a decent back up ranged attack (I'm a fighter) for those rounds when dazed, slowed, immobilized etc. A worse problem are my die rolls!

treasure request I would like to request detailed treasure parcels. I know DMs have to really tailor treasure these days but today I was running WotBS with minimal prep and the only hiccup I had was when I ran into "insert a lvl 7 treasure parcel here." I would really appreciate suggestions...

Session 14: Traveling in the Kingdom of Dassen Today's session was long on RP and long foreshadows. We played through a loose narration of the heroes' travels through the various Duchies of Dassen. They learned of how much the Lords differed from one to the other, both in policies and...

Yeah, I was planning to keep that one, and probably Shalosha as well. I'll give them a synopsis. They can read it or run with it... Can you tell me a bit about how you ran Giorgio and Shelter in general? I haven't got a firm handle on it yet.

Seaquen Council I have an idea for the Seaquen Council scene that I will hand out Councilor cards to each of the players so that they may play out the speeches and arguments given by the various luminaries. Might be fun. It will keep me from blabbing on and on while the players tune out...

Sesssions 12 and 13: Shelter from the Storm The last two sessions have changed the pace alot. Some players have switched around and so have some of the characters they are playing. We have two original characters and three original players from the start of the campaign as we begin Shelter...

Session 11 The story now returns to civilized lands as the heroes descend out of the Two-Range Pass into the Kingdom of Dassen. Rather than play out the mountain skill challenges, I decided to simply describe the travel and offer a couple of side-encounters. The first was a trail in the snow...
