Rats, I didn't run through an adventure beforehand. It's for 4th level PCs but I have a group of SIX players, so I started the campaign at 2nd level and worked through it that way. Haunted Halls would be a great starter for the game! -DM Jeff

3.5 for us, slowly migrating over to Pathfinder by year's end. -DM Jeff

It's no doubt the most generic of the set, which in my opinion is a good thing if you don't want a lot of preprinted stuff in your rooms. So it's pretty good for that use, populating your own rooms. -DM Jeff

Not quite sure where you get this. At the end of book 3 if the characters stop the evil, there are plenty of continuing adventure ideas to keep the campaign going. It does not play out the destruction of the Realms as we know it either way. Regardless I'm not going to be advancing any timeline...

While the last part of book 1 seems a bit railroady during reading, the book was actually very much NOT railroady in my experience running it. Maybe our definitions differ a bit. I think it was once supposed to tell you "how the Realms end" because at one point book three had the subtitle "The...

I am running this series for my every-other-Saturday D&D 3.5 group. Just last night we finished the first book: Cormyr Tearing of the Weave. Overall impressions? It was good. The delve format many dislike meant my prep time consisted of simply gathering minis and tiles and that's a big relief...

Revenge of the Kobold King by Nic Logue is easily the item of choice where I went, luckily I grappled one before it escaped. The WotC tile and mini were very nice as well. I didn't see any dice as part of the stuff at the store I went to. I also supported them with some purchases to show my...

I'd just like to chime in that I just showed my wife Buttercup's initial post and we agree, tonight we're dringing a toast to Ryan, Peter and that amazing gaming leap of greatness, the OGL tonight. THANKS GUYS! -DM Jeff

nevermind

Lite WotC put D&D on a diet, yes. The new PHB is on a diet. Larger font, loads of less options than before, and lots of missing stuff you would expect in the core. The new MM is on a diet of fluff. It can't fit the fluff because it stuffed itself on numbers. Half the monsters but more...

Well, I don't like it. That comes as no surprise to any who have followed my meager posts on it and may just say I was predisposed to disliking it to begin with. Mostly true. From WotC's bland website offerings and failed promises to their mud-dragging marketing torture, to the leaks that did...

These are challenges, and yes, they require the attention of botht he players and DMs. I don't find doing a little extra work to keep 'in shape' to challenge the players to be a bad thing. The going gets a little tough and folks get going? Wow. It is yet to be seen, but if 4e really...

FANTASTIC idea. Sign me up. I thought of this a while back but didn't have the faith to post. I will participate in this. -DM Jeff

I'll be sticking with 3.5, and tossing in what I like about the Pathfinder RPG, which at this time is a little more than half! -DM Jeff

Sure! http://64.223.12.31/default.asp?x=dnd/dd/20060929a And in fact here is the exact text I was referring to in that article: Dice Expressions I Wouldn’t Wish on My Worst Enemy Another weird thing: You might notice that the damage for the rogue’s sneak attack, the wizard’s meteor swarm...

There's been some awesome replies whilst I slept! For one thing I am really glad I'm not the only one enjoying our teen-level games, that's great. In fairness, I guess without proper prep time it might not be as fun. When I run a game (any, but high-specifically) I scan and print or photocopy...

I am one who has had no problem with grappling, attacks of opportunity, running monsters or all the other moaning pitfalls so many find fault with in D&D 3.X. This deals with high-level D&D play. Not epic, just high level. What's wrong with me that my 3.X campaigns had one end at 15th level...

Wow! Takes that whole "sharkskin is a bit like sandpaper" and turns it into "sharkskin is a bit like a thousand vorpal demon horns". Super stuff! -DM Jeff

The 3.5 to 3.0 to what PF is to 3.5 is actually an example used by Paizo when we were first asking about how different the systems would be. This is good news! "Exactly the same as 3.5", no, "easily converted on the fly for someone who still wants to use an old 3.5 PHB he adores", that's great...

Interested? Of course they should be, that's great. The fact they're drawing ire and being asked to flee is funny because it mirrors the activint of the 4e forums since whenever. But, as has been pointed out we're being juvenile now so consider my comment withdrawn. I'm not laughing now. -DM Jeff
