Violence, explosions, and screams were heard all night even to the top floors and thick walls of the Flame Tower as the party rested. The revolt was at hand and men and elf and dragons were dieing. The Druid and Wizard had to turn in to rest. But, the Rouge and Archer stayed up a bit to kill a...

I want to DM for a party of bad asses, not the town average guy. I want to play as a mighty hero if I play. Not Harold the flunkie with all 10s and 1 12. Problem with rolling is you have a very good chance of rolling something with issues. Or you could get lucky and have something totally...

In a buddies Planescape campaign, in Sigil they had bars for fiends as well as dragons and other lot. I am sure other planar metroplises such as Union or the City of Brass would have simular. There could very well be a "demon brew" or VILEwieser in your campaign. feel free to invent effects if...

I have not seen not one gnome. I see why they decided at first to drop it in 4e. even in 3e, I saw Tieflings and Half-Dragons PCs.

Never reveal your campaign secrets. After the Hatchery assault, they would have to take off to confront the Taskmaster one final time in his lair located in a huge cavern system under a lake far (about 700 miles) to the west. What was not known to the players even to this day was the nature...

I would be one of those ones wanting graphical tile support. Hey, NetHack got it. It does not have to be Diablo, but a green orc figure means a lot more than a letter. The creator would not have to do it. His community would draw the tiles for him.

That is cool. I like epic high power campaigns to succeed. If it were not for some of the math in some editions, there is a lot of folks who dig it. I noticed the characters had armies. I have had a bit of experience with this. I also wanted to pull my hair out at times. How are you handling...

Of course, the Cohort is rushed to the Temple of Magic to be raised. Even though the Dragon escaped, he left a tuning device that after the Patron looked at just happened to be a sort of key to get into an underground entrance in the sewers to the hatchery. Along with a couple of magic items...

try to remember back to that whole battle. The PCs approached the Taskmaster, of course with the Rogue and the Cohort invisible and stealthed. In the party was the Wiard, the Freed Elf Archer, the Druid, and 5 lower level Flame gaurd warriors as 'bodygaurds" because of the PC's status as...

"It's time.", the Patron said after getting report back from the questioning of the bodies. Together with the PCs, a plan was hatched. The stadium was a huge place and housed around two to three thousand elven slaves. The Patron over the last few weeks had been requisitioning thousands of...

The Taskmaster's first love was the Arena. There were the gladitorial contests with the slaves during the day and Dungeon Ball teams at night. To him, all the drama of life and death and emotion were as filling to the gut as a few diced up elves. And, much better if he knew his food much like a...

The turning of the High Priest of Magic was a straightforward matter, once they got him to actually look through the goggles and take a walk with him. But it was no easy matter to get to this point. At first when they came in, he was asking if the Patron had sent them with bags of holding...

At this point, we got a new PC, The Druid. Good, too. I was not too sure how long a Cohort with a Staff of Healing was going to work out. They had not gotten into anything major yet and to be honest, after all this work, I did not want a Total Party Kill. I guess I could have the Patron pay to...

The next day, they woke up and later that day had a meeting with the Patron. The Patron scolded them."You know, with all that damage to the Temple of Knowledge library, there are some in Monastary City who want you in irons." But after they told him it was Shaw who did it the disappeared, the...

Turn that into one of those annoying Dragon Lance twerps the Kender, and all my characters will join them.

One of the things I usually do to emulate the flavor of spellcasting 2e/3e dragons is put a class template on them. Do not add the +HP, though... that is too much. Just the powers and +def. That way, it can have a cool flavor at will/ encounter/ daily and be a bit cooler than your standard MM...

Do not get too attatched to equiptment, lol. Careful. There are certain situations and DMs where you could lose said equiptment. Those kind of players sometimes get devastated or pissy when that happens. Particularly when the equiptment is attached to identity. Would not want your enjoyment to...

Outside the online forum world, though, there is no arguement. Only what you can play and what you canot based on where you live and who you know. There is a gaming store quite a ways away from me. If I was a new player hoping to get in, I have to play by thier rules. They play 3e. No amout of...

Is it just me or is there something really just wrong with the idea of a paid beta for any release? Even computer games. So, let me get this straight. Instead of paying a QA department, you get your customers to PAY and do this for you. Shouldn't we get PAID instead? Particularly if, like...

Oh, one more thing to add. I have actually run epic level stuff under both 3e and 4e. please do not take this as me telling you what to do with your group. It is more things that can help. I did so for years. 1. Epic encounters call for epic players. Even a low magic world like Greyhawk, there...
