(Walks in with a Surgeon mask, in scrubs): Scalpel. I try to harvest adventures into TRAPs. That way I can put them into my game dynamically, combine multiple adventures into one, keep the heat on high. I would have done more of this (showing examples and whatnot) but I haven't had access...

I'm interested in this too, especially if people have particular episodes to recommend.

/thinks Hairfoot needs to turn on his private messages or e-mailability. Hey Hairfoot - re: Australasian settings The Great Hundred is a project to make an exotic open content fantasy setting. So far the influences are Mesopotamia and India but there's room for all kinds of australasian...

Yeah, I miss them too. But I traded them for wife, kids, and turkey dinners. I stand by my decision.

I felt people were pretty close with E6erron, I don't know if there are lessons to be learned from those guys. 4E6erron will be even closer, I imagine.

Portals.... portals... portals!

Drop skilled NPCs in once in a while; the PCs know a mason and another village that's not well-defended? They might commission some walls so they can get a decent night's sleep at its inn. Of course, that means getting materials... cartloads of rocks, mortar... angry bulettes...

If I was doing points of light with high magic, I'd think of the players as wasps. You have a lot of mobility, a lot of power, but there's a lot of other things out there that can kill you. How do wasps survive when big nasty humans can come by and destroy the nest at any time? Because...

The Freeport Trilogy has snakemen, and they're not that far off from Yuan-ti, trust me.

Casual my foot. Any idea how much blood, sweat and tears goes into that stuff?

LT - I've used a very similar approach and it was quite effective.

Hot diggity! Oh, daisies!

That is correct.

To clarify: I put E6 and Raising the Stakes out as 100% OGC because I'd like to see what people can do with them. If someone proceeds to release the exact same .pdfs as a promotion for their website, removing my name from the credits page and putting their own name in its place, there's...

Romance is the chase. Romance is the chase. Romance is the chase. Romance is the look over the shoulder, the note saying "Meet me in the gardens by the apple tree", the "I can't talk for long.", the hand on the arm, the "damnit, you can't be here, you'll be arrested!" the...

Lots of people. I've released two myself.

Well, releasing an SRD for your game appears to be sharing OGC. Using a monster from that SRD is definitely taking advantage of that sharing. Taking someone else's 100% OGC product, putting it in a new wrapper, and re-releasing it so it looks basically the same as the original and selling it...

Same here.

PCs were 12 year old Akavar children in the same Akavan (group of 4-6 children born in the same year and raised together). They and another Akavan were helping at a farm for the summer, and the other Akavan beat the biggest kid of the group senseless (that player wasn't able to make it that...

That's a great approach too. Some groups require "regular maintainance" to keep going; I thought the pressure was on, but if it's not, then yeah, chill out. But don't forget to be psyched for your own game. There's no substitute.
