We played last night - huzzah! Two players couldn't make it - boo! The Avenger and the Bard couldn't make it last night, so two players were running two characters. This meant the Undead vs Drow vs PC battle was probably slower than any of us would have liked, but Ian (the newcomer to the...

That's a good point. I'd been wondering how to draw him in as written - as you suggest I might ask my players for an NPC that they knew of old and through them in instead. I'll have a few weeks to think about this before it becomes relevant, happily. I'm going to press them for some more...

So you always TALK IN BLOCK CAPITALS when they're on stage? :) I think this a good way of putting it. I'd certainly disagree with anyone round the tablet that stated that the Raven Queen was "unaligned but actually evil". Uh, no, she's Unaligned. Says it right there.

As before, I'd really appreciate it if you'd READ THE MODULE before criticising it. There are some extremely good reasons for allying with the Drow in DQE - a new Exarch of Orcus is on the way and the Drow are currently the thing that's holding him back. If the players refuse to help them...

That's the quote I'm looking for - right there. 20 years of collective brain dump is a perfect description of the book, and I think the book is fantastic. If you're a new DM, or even if you're not I think you'll find a lot to work from it.

This can go in General Discussion, as it relates directly to RPG's. I'd copy your first post over and start a new thread there, otherwise hardly anyone will see it!

Next game on Thursday, so let's bring the discussion back on again. I'm going to open with a quick recap of last week, hand out some minor magic items (from the Eye of Flame's hoard) and then launch into the 3-way fight with the Drider & Drow vs the Undead. I've realised that this fight...

I played Tower, the Warforged Artificer in the WWD&DGD game, as a pirate. I also insisted on him being called "Cap'n Tower" a couple of times. Brilliantly, one of the other players gave his character a pirate-esque voice without even knowing it was ITLaP day!

I haven't been keeping up with the thread, but just wanted to chime in on my experience with the "schism" at WWD&DGD on Saturday. I was there all day and spoke to about ten people that had come in to see what was going on. They were a mix of 3e and 4e players, but interestingly all the 3e...

Put me down as an eager reader of a "Tales from Ye Olden Times of Gaming" column.

I'd be very opposed to this. The whole point of the implied setting is that it is unmapped, allowing DM's to pick and choose which bits they do and don't use. As soon as the map is created, it limits what you can do, in that particular areas are suddenly "officially" next to other areas, and if...

I'll be in Brighton, UK, participating! Looking forward to it.

OK, so that nearly made me spit water across my work keyboard. :) My real question, though, is this: Can you imagine an imaginary menagerie manager managing an imaginary menagerie? More to the point, can you say it?

Whilst I've not voted for serialised fiction, I'd like to clarify. Extracts from published works - not interested. Short, complete stories - very interested. Really interested in opinion pieces, not interested in game-crunch as I can find that in rulebooks and the forums. But would really...

I think we have just collapsed the waveform.

I both do and do not agree with what may or may not have been a post.

I read it that the sequence is: Attack with main weapon Deal 1[W] dmg + Str damage and slide 1 to a square adjacent to you. Attack with off-hand weapon If you hit, deal 1[W] dmg + Str and slide a further 3, but the enemy must end in a square adjacent to you. Nifty power for moving an enemy...

Relique, I'm also certain that Dannyalcatraz and me aren't even in the same country... but if I'm wrong I'm going to be very amused. For the record, I was in London. :)

We'll get Schrodinger to adjudicate.

Went to a friends 40th birthday party. Started in a pub by the Thames in London at 1pm, ate a huge chickenburger, stayed till about 7pm with a couple of beers. Then went on to a club that had opened early for us so we could be the DJ, danced until about 11pm before heading over to his house and...
