I don't get the 4 encounters per day thing. Been playing 30+ years with literally scores of people and never once as a player or DM have I (nor anyone I played with for that matter) been 'counting' encounters (well...that is the 4th encounter today....time to call it a day and its Miller...

"The winds of change are upon you and yet still you cling to childish notions. Our beloved country no longer can afford such indulgences. You have sown that wind....NOW REAP THE WHIRLWIND AND BE SWEPT AWAY!!" <teleport....boom>

Depends. What defines the party? Its members, its compostion or its purpose. If it is members, the party is not the same as the original members are dead. If it is composition, the party can or will not be the same party depending if the capabilities of the party is more or less the same as...

Interesting party. The one meat shield better eat his wheaties and be a nice big lad, cause if the party doesn't consistently win on initative, all the monster 'loving' is coming his way. Tactics to get and maintain standoff distance is going to be key. The party will work (I have seen...

You could always take whatever class you like (unimportant...read on) and when the first big bad monster shows up, you can show the party how heroic types die saving their friends or being a speed bump when the rest of the party cuts and runs. Then roll up a new character and hope for better...

Obviously, it didn't catch on, since I never heard of it either.

Arcana Unearthed and Arcana Evolved (AU revised) from Malhavoc Press use a system that does away with divine magic. Works great, either as a AU/AE campaign or non AU/AE campaign using some of the AU/AE rules.

I would like to see an AP in which there is multiple villains working at cross purposes. The APs so far have featured principally one main foe and their sponsored groups. I would like to see an AP in which there is two or more main foes. And the main foes are not working together... in fact...

Well, if you are talking well rounded, then you should have material for the 'underside' of Waterdeep - like the 'Ruins of Undermountain' , 'Ruins of Undermountain 2' and 'Skullport'.

Dragons of Faerun has some answers for you, if you can peruse or buy a copy. Bahamut has been around since the beginning and his major surfacing in known history was during the Dragonfall war during the Age of Dragons, which was a war (more like a proxy war) between the followers of Bahamut and...

Well, rancor threads are like car wrecks. One just can't resist gawking at the carnage. :lol:

From various FR sources and novels: Mage Fairs in the realms are held in isolated in areas due to the high potential for collateral damage if things get out of hand. Entry is allowed only to someone who cast an arcane spell without any item. Even a cantrip is acceptable. The entrant is...

People forget that If you ask for a opinion then you will get responses that validate your point of view and you will get responses that run counter to that point of view. People forget that opinions are not facts. They are just that... opinions. Confilct occurs when that happens. As long...

It one of those settings in which you either love it or hate it. Our group didn't like it. There is nothing wrong with the setting mechanicially but one of the players summed up how all of us felt when he said he felt that all the effort and suffering by the party is basically for naught since...

It is even more fun if you find a real spider and hand it the player and say - "Eat this and your character is full up in Strength again. :lol: Sort of a perversion of Pirate Cat's 'Peeps for EXP' where a player can get enough experience to level when they a just shy of the experience for...

Its a bit of a drive from The Pas, but I may be able to make the 25th since preliminary planning at this point indicates that I may be in the 'Peg on the 23-24 Nov for meetings. Staying another day shouldn't be a problem. Of course, this is all conditional on the meetings happening in the...

You can use a potion (or spell) of bull strength. Gets him up and going in a very minimal way (Str 4) for a short period of time. But seriously....why take the gimp along? A guy with a minimal strength is more a liability than a asset to the party right now. Either give the player a NPC to...

Ye Gawds! They need a new server. I've tried off and on several times during the day so far and I am getting less than 1K transfer. Not to mention, the downloading has turned the rest of their site to molasses speed.

Heh. At least you weren't a 13th level Barbarian who died facedown in a bowl of oatmeal (he suffocated in the oatmeal) Happened to a character run by one of my players. He is still trying to live that down, even though it was a event some three years ago....

The first time I DMed, I made plenty of mistakes. No one noticed because we were all learning this new game called D&D and noone DMed before, I being the first. Live and learn from the mistakes and don't sweat it if it doesn't seem like it is working out well. Chances are good that noone is...
