Well I ran it for 3e and the party enjoyed the moathouse, and Nulb bits. they got to the CRM and like others have mentioned it turned into a slog. At somepoint I got bored and ruled that the imbalance between the temples (caused by party) resulted in the entire mountain exploding, (thnaks to...

If the PCs are sucked in what if they can't get out? A few days with all the food and wine they can drink, only to have the bottle opened 1-5 years later, and then they have to grant wishes to the fisherman who opened the bottle. One of the best genie patches I ever read was the genie who...

I ran thunderspire labyrinth (H2) but with lots of changes, and added links between the adventures. It was a pretty good time. I don't remember many of them but I do remember the ex-wife of one NPC showing up in the pit of demons. Ran Caern of the Winter King too, it was supposed to be a...

That is very useful zenfox. I used the Ultimate campaign rules to set up results for an upcoming large battle - 1000 legionaries + 200 archers + undead VS 2000 rebellious slaves backed by 300 elven archers and the PCs. I didn't notice the damage bonus to the offensive roll, so the armies were...

Im sorry you burned out on 4e. I switch back and forth between 4e and pathfinder, and I find the lack of dynamic battles, and the lack of solo monsters the most frustrating going the other way. Im not DMing PF so I don't have to build Classed enemies anymore either. Have you tried Pathfinder...

I agree that companion characters RAW are more like 1/2 characters than PCs. I tinkered with them a bit, never derived a system to make them better. Giving them a role and stealing essentials class features was the direction I was heading. I found 1 at will and 2 encounter attacks and 1...

When I make a character I strive to make characters who are predictable, and who change over time, they tend to go with one personality Shtick and apply it at every opportunity. In literary terms they are flat, but dynamic characters. B.B. Halls was a 1st level ranger with adventuring...

I have never reached epic levels, but I had similar concerns with Paragon Paths. I worked with each player to find a path that they liked and was thematically appropriate. I knew where they were going before they hit 10th level. I also asked if they wanted a specific quest that would lead...

I really disliked 2e and (late 1e) skill system. instead of a skill roll based on a modifier, it was based directly on the ability score. This over emphasized the role of ability scores, and adding a second NWP for a +1 was an option that was never taken ever. I played with a Fighter who...

well I think your over thinking it. Are your players interested in this level of detail? How will you show it to them in the campaign? with that out of the way, I think you have some reasonable ideas. The Orcs probably live is small clan groups, one group to each valley so they don't over...

3: a weapon that has the throwing (range increment 10 )and returning properties counts as a +2 bonus. If your blade gains reach 10, during your turn, that seems like a reasonable +1 modifier. a weapon that gives you reach all the time is probably +2. level 4-7 i believe limits you to +1 power...

I worry. I don't think 4e is playable without a character builder. It just got too complex. It bothers me that my ability to play the game is based on WotCs supporting it. So any sign of discontinuation is very alarming. I hope the tinker gnome variant makes it to the builder before it comes...

I hope so! I guess we will see if there is some more interest.

68. A long cone shaped hallway, with a small-sized slit at the end. 69. quicksand floor, with submerged path for minions. 70. poison gas/icy mist/explosive gas, in easily broken clay pots.

So I just read Dungeon World, and it blew my mind. Now I want to try and run it. Alot of the system is about improvisation, and it is very map light. It is a perfect match for my preferred style of Pbp. Its like AD&D, but with lots of good game mastering advice coded into the rules. Online...

well im a little jealous now. That dragon looks fantastic. anyway 9 painted! (half are kobolds) really? at least a couple would have required me to merge 4 slots. there are probably 20 that dont fit into a single slot, so I picked my 6 favs of those and left the rest in the original box.

I got a shipping notice about 3 days ahead of time. I had a pretty simple order 1 vampire +1 case. two other people in my group are still waiting for theirs, but they both had more add ins I'm still working on a way to distinguish out minis, so far im painting the bottoms of the bases white...

Thanks stevelabny. the forums over there are full of good advice and details. I primed 22 of them, and painted 2 and a bit. not priming them should speed things up. (a little)

So now I have a full vampire (212) of resin minis. Its amazing. So many characters and monsters just waiting to be written into a plot or tried out as PCs. Over an hour unboxing and bagging them and fitting them into the case. Now what? 1. I have heard rumors they need to be washed before...

Drizzt can be found in sometimes be found in castle neverwinter. Leave him out. I ran a city campaign based on Neverwinter. It was in my own world. I changed some of the NPCs, downplayed the spell plague. The spell plague is heavily involved in the setting, it might help to know more about...
