Hi Everyone. After finishing my Nentir Vale map, I decided to learn how to use CC3's City Designer module. So I decided to develop an expanded map of the Village of Albridge from D&D's "Reavers of Harkenwold" Adventure from the Essential's DM Kit. It's now finished (I think), complete with...

It's been more than two decades since I wrote those. Glad to know that someone enjoyed them :) At the time, I was ICE's youngest writer. I can't say that anymore :) As for going off map, I'm wondering if I should move towards Mithralfast/Dragondown coast, or if I should move south towards...

Thanks... Although I'm not sure if it talent or just dumb first timers luck. I did learn a thing or two about mapping years ago, but I think I am still a little rusty. The real test will come when I use city designer to create tactical-regional maps for when my crew does Reavers of Harkenwold. I...

I wrote six books in total. For Middle-earth Role Playing I wrote Ghosts of the Southern Anduin, Hazards of the Harad Wood, Rogues of the Borderlands, and was a primary co-author for Gorgoroth. I also wrote Disaster on Adanis III for a Space Master and Islands of the Oracle for Shadow World. I...

Hi Everyone, Some 20 years ago, I both played and wrote a few books for Iron Crown Enterprises, four of which were for their Middle-earth Role Playing game. I was admittedly taken with the maps that Pete Fenlon did, and when I had a chance to write for them to actually see some of my own...

Alas, no Wilhelm Scream, but it does have a number of FX sounds that work well. :)

Both situations you describe are part of the DMDJ library. It also can handle sci-fi and horror ambient sound and music too.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the iPhone or iPad app called "DMDJ" from Blueface games. It provides environmental sound effects and music that can be adjusted to circumstance, and time of day. I'm not sure if it exists on Android, but I will check. This is a fantastic piece for providing...

One of the risks I run with the transitional adventure is that the intact Deck's own propensity to disappear once it has been used. I could plan out a whole adventure as a quest to destroy the Deck, and yet the players decide to throw caution to the wind and pick a card... Irrespective of the...

It's a thought, although given the story arc that is building with Reavers/Madness I almost need a transitional story/adventure that would link Trollhaunt. I don't think it's too hard to link the Iron Circle to using the trolls as a destabilising force, but as with anything Chaotic Evil, it is...

Again, thanks for the tip on Pyramid of Shadows. I plan on avoiding it now wholesale, even if I do have a copy of it. I've been working through up scaling Reavers. I think it is going to work really well, but upgrading the treasure parcels may be more of a challenge. I figure with those, I will...

I have it, but I don't plan on using it unless I can modify it to follow on Madness at Gardmore Abbey... Which isn't too likely. I picked up Vor Rukhoth as a setting, and I may get Hammerfast and use those settings to pull together something that will transition them well from 8-10. I could also...

Well... using Masterplan this at least makes playing around with some options much easier. Using some of the Daggerburg Goblins from Threats to the Nentir Vale, I've swapped out the Bullywugs for the Goblins/Hobgoblins/Bugbears although keeping the location and encounter sequence the same. I...

I've discovered masterplan, which makes scaling fairly easy. I've decided that I will do a mix, upping the levels of some creatures while increasing quantity of others. I'm also going to replace the bullywug encounters with Daggerburg Goblins, as I think it fits the intrigue angle better, and...

Thanks for the input. One of the things that I've noticed with DDI's tools is that with a complete library of monsters, I can call up all the critters/cretins in Reavers of Harkenwold, and edit them simply by upping their level and it takes care of the rest as per the DMG's guidelines (and any...

I don't have direct access to the search function yet, as I'm not yet as subscriber to EN World... I felt kinda stupid when I couldn't find it, and then I found the fine print :) I've done some google searches as well to see what people have done with Reavers. Mostly it has been about setting...

After some 25 years, my original role-playing group has gotten back together, using the 4th edition rules. I'm the DM this time around, and much to my surprise, this old crew who had given up on 1e AD&D for ICE's Rolemaster way back when, now quite enjoys 4th edition. I don't plan this as an...
