I've always wanted to do a "treant" encounter underground, where it's just the roots attacking you.

I've never played, and I've learned more in this forum than I ever knew before. So what's a game session like? What kinds of adventures do PCs have? Is there anything that's not shadowrunning? PS

You can easily make it work. But you have to make sure you players are interested. I've run a bunch of different treasure systems, because nothing really seems to work out right for 4e treasure. I'm currently giving each PC an artifact that grows in power over time, and then throwing out some...

TBH, I like Mearl's little blurb better than the 2e monstrosity posted (which I hadn't seen before - I skipped 2e). The combat section in the 2e version is terrible - it's an actual impediment to play at the table. A concise stat block is much, much better. Just list the claw attacks and the...

I have fond memories of both Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury. Sunless Citadel was fun because I teleported my PCs into the middle of it, so they had to figure out the structure. About that time someone here was doing analysis of the branchings of maps in adventures, and I realized that simply...

Just watched a Doctor Who episode, and one of the characters said "wait, they're speaking Russian? Wait, I'm speaking Russian?!" I think it's entirely reasonable that CL wouldn't tell you the language it's translating - and even that you wouldn't know it was translating if you had it up and came...

It looks like if you right click on it you can use View Image, and zoom. Then it comes out 12 point font. PS

I used Freemind mind mapping to design the encounter, so it grew organically until the outermost level as I collected ideas. Normally I would then go to the adventure tools and build regular stat blocks. But I realized I probably don't need to, because as VB said, I'm pretty familiar with it at...

Ring of Spell Storing, Major. Load with Antimagic Field. PS

I recently took our Scout troop to the top of a mountain. I carried as little as possible. Another dad carried everything he needed. Except I carried his tent to the summit because I got bored of waiting for him to lug his gear up! I should really revisit what I bring to game days since I DM at...

So I've started using Mind Maps to map out everything in life, including my 4e game. 1) do you think you could run this encounter based just on this info? 2) do you think would challenge 7 level 12 PCs? 3) are you in my Goblins of Eberron game? Then stay the heck out of this thread! :D PS

I was in Piratecat's GenCon game many years ago where we killed 17 clones before the end of the briefing . . . PS

In 3.5, Darkness cast in an area of total darkness lets you see: "This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain concealment (20% miss chance)." PS

Does Mutants and Masterminds count? That's my go to non-D&D game. I do enjoy Savage Worlds tho. PS

A tangentially related idea is for buying and selling businesses. How much is a tavern? A bakery? An armory? You can do a lot of suspect calculations to figure out sales, and profits and such, or you can just estimate from Price to Earnings ration. P/E typically varies between 5 and 20. So...

My players just informed me they're leveling up, so we're at 12th level. Started at 1st, but we skipped 3 & 4. PS

I think you've got a pretty good villain so far. Does he still see himself as a good guy? Sure he's leading an evil organization, and has to do enough evil to keep up appearances, but he's really about wrecking evil organizations. He's a big picture thinker. He's a long range planner. He's cruel...

Pretty cool. PS
