Just personal experience. Take the group I play in now as an example. The DM is available almost every weekend. I am available every weekend. There are 4 other players. The DM will run if he has 4 players agree to show up (thus we need only 3 others to agree to meet on that date). Thus far, we...

The PCs do not have a map. The map is for the players' benefit. Ah. Perhaps there's some confusion then. Here's my idea of Hexcrawling/Exploration: "OK guys. Here's your starting location. Every Hex = 2 miles. Almost every hex has SOMEthing in it - resources, monster lairs/encounters, a site...

I would like to see your chart sir.

@Janx Thanks, that's part of what I'm trying to get at the heart of. Or at least, that deals with "How do I write an adveneture that lasts 1 session?" The problem expands to "How do I write 1-session adventures when I don't know how many, or what class, of PCs show up" but we're at least...

That really does not work. When I read your statement, I read "Write an adventure for 4 players, and if less than 4 show up, have the players deal with the discrepancy". Which does not work. If only the Cleric's player shows up, then he's not really going to be able to tackle an adventure that...

While I understand some of you like the "no map" or "draw your own map" things, that's not really my game style/what I'm looking for. The campaign's goal isn't 'draw a map' or 'explore' (or at least, I don't even know if any players are big on Exploration to begin with). I plan to draw a big...

Umbran - I read Eyes of the Dragon - it's straight fantasy, no real horror elements. Still a good book. Thanks trancejeremy - that's great, I'll send that along! Others, thanks; I'll send him a link to this thread.

A friend of mine is a horror writer, and wants to find an example of a horror story set in a fantasy setting, so that he can try his hand at it. I cannot think of any examples off the top of my head. Anyone have suggestions?

For the record, the map is of a place they have never been, and can find no loer of. I.e. Lost/New continent, so it's all new. So no research, no heard of anything, nothing. It was a group i only had one session with. They were upset I wasn't drawing a map, and that it seemed like "I didn't...

I generally dislike 'you're in the dungeon for weeks' type adventures, so the players would generally have a Home Base that they return to at the end of the adventure. In all honesty I'm leaning towards the Colony game, but will offer other options of that doesn't appeal. S'mon, I am quite...

Problem is in what I'm looking to do, I'd be drawing a big poster map of a large area beforehand. That would be the sole overland map. So as far as I'm concerned, my options are either:: 1) Draw the overland geography and big huge physical features (I.e. floating landmass etc). 2) Draw the...

So, I joined a group a group 5 months ago. They meet once a month, and the Dm will run a game if 3/4ths of the players can make a session. Before I joined they had a full 3 months of no playing because no one's schedules matched up. And since I've been with them, we've missed 3 months. That is...

Just a question for those that do Hexcrawling, played the Kingmaker AP, or generally do large area exploration: Do you show the overland map to the players before they've begun exploring? If you Do, what is on the map? Just geographical things (mountain, forests, river)? Structures? What? I...

Well I meant slow in the sense of... hm, Skirmishers have powers that let them quickly shift past the front line. They can get into the back ranks fast. It's not a measure of movement speed, but "ability to get past the defender" fast, or "deal their damage to someone not the blocker" fast.

I was playing Diablo 3 and there is a certain monster, a cultist that just stands there, summoning a demon into themselves. If you don't kill them in a short amount of time, they burst into a nasty demonic entity that is hard hitting, HP, and - here's the kicker: FAST. They dash right into...

Thanks; yes I need Metro accessible areas. The trick is finding those groups. ;) Also, I didn't know that Chantilly is metro accessible.

I've moved to Hyattsville, MD and I'm looking for gamers. I know that there is A gaming store in the metro area, and I'm part of the Meetup group, but still, things seem a bit quiet. Still, I'm looking for gamers. At a point I plan to DM, but not until a few months after I'm settled and find a...

Could you expalin why you need $1000? What exactly is the expenses that you need to use $1000?

Personally I'd handle it one of a few ways. 1) The heavy armor character has to position himself at a certain location and wait. The party picks where they will fight if they have to fight, and position the fighter/paladin there. Or, the character is in a certain location, and when the fight...

On the campaign content It's not James Bond style spies, but if I were running a spy-centric game, I would look into the TV show Burn Notice. It takes its spy stuff a little more seriously, the characters have a variety of talents (not just sneaky suave silent takedown guy), and the show...
