    Give me the idea, I build the monster

    Brilliant! Thanks for posting. (I can't give you more XP so this post will have to do.)

    D&D 4E Forgotten Realms 4e Changes: Good/Bad?

    I like the 4E version as well as all the earlier versions. I am currently using the 4E version, spellplague and all, and have sketched out another half-a-dozen or so campaign arcs that I expect I will run at some point in the future (and I've been running campaigns in FR since the grey box). I...

    A Frostburn Campaign - Dreams of Ice and Madness (Fishing for Comments)

    I'm working through several campaign ideas at the moment for my next game but the overall theme will be Fimbulwinter. Fimbulwinter is the great winter that precedes Ragnarok in Norse myth. I'll be running my game in Forgotten Realms and I and will set the game in the northern Moonsea where the...

    Saved by my players - Thoughts about structure and implementation

    I read your other thread about your gaming schedule and, damn, it's punishing! It sounds like getting some sleep (and, no doubt, exercise) is really the key for you. Why not drop a game? Maybe if you're not so worn out by the schedule you will find your tactical ability and whatnot improving...

    Classic Adventures Modules -- wishes and failures

    Wishes: I have always wanted to run D1-3 (Descent into the Depths, Vault of the Drow) and, at some point, I will before I give up RPGs for good. Failure: Echoing some earlier posters, I rate Temple of Elemental Evil as one of the worst adventures ever half-published. Like most, I loved T1 The...

    Next Deities & Demigods (now with poll!)

    I would really like to see Tharizdun.

    Finally Synnibar gets some love.

    Not only that but it laid the foundations for an improvement in editing and game balance. Actually, it has never been surpassed on both points. I'm surprised that it has taken this long for someone to put a patronage project together. I know Piratecat often speaks of his love for Synnibar and...

    What do you always use?

    My only rule is that every campaign must have at least one aboleth.

    10 Necromancer Games Adventures: Which Ones Should I Get?

    I would also recommend Tomb of Abysthor and have also voted for all the adventures on your list. Their stuff is great: just buy them all.

    Keep on the Chaos Scar

    It's the Beverly Hillbillies. Lord Drysdale? I really like the article but there is no way I can use this name in any of my games or I will be listening to The Beverly Hillbillies theme music for the who session.

    Ever had a game stolen from you?

    Something similar happened to me 25 years ago... except I was a player and it was the last time I played. My group banned me from playing ever again. I was permanently awarded DM status.

    PHB4 content

    What about if someone drops a spoon? Does that let my ninja also Flip Out and Kill People? Is Flip Out and Kill People an Immediate Interrupt, Immediate Reaction or Free action? How many action points do I get as a ninja? Is a spoon an implement for a ninja?

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Adventure Path: How Successful?

    I buy every PDF that Paizo produces even though I am running 4E and unlikely to change. The only reason I stopped subscribing was that the postage costs increased and it made no sense to subscribe. However, if the postage costs drop again then I would subscribe to all of their lines. I just...

    PHB4 content

    Hmmm, if it's going to have bullywugs and dinosaurs as races I can only assume that we're going to see classes for ninjas and pirates.

    10 Campaign Settings: Which Ones Should I Get?

    Midnight. Probably my single favourite third-party product from the past decade.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo re-invents Hexcrawling

    No need to do the conversion work yourself: Tales from the Rusty Dragon Scott Betts did an excellent job converting Rise of the Runelords and made everything available at his on his blog. If you use his stuff, make sure you drop by the Paizo boards to say thanks to him.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo re-invents Hexcrawling

    I was really looking forward to this until I saw the Player's Guide: now I am rather excited! I'm a 4E DM but I buy all the Paizo stuff and have plans to run at least one 4E campaign in Golarion at some point and I think that first campaign is likely to be Kingmaker. I really hope it will be a...

    Brawler Style "Empty Hand" Definition

    That's the way I would rule.

    Brawler Style, free hands, and having a target grabbed

    RAW I agree with your DM... but I would never use that interpretation. There is probably a stronger argument for the AC bonus when the brawler has an opponent grabbed because the opponent ("the grabbee") can effectively becomes a shield. In fact, maybe there should be a feat to boost the AC...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder on Amazon?

    I was also wondering what happened. I had the Pathfinder RPG, Pathfinder Bestiary and the Campaign Setting all in my cart and then they became unavailable for sale. That said, the Campaign Guide is now available again and Guide to the River Kingdoms has also been released today. I'm hoping...
