There used to be a thread here with a link to a download of this game and the fix that allowed it to run on current machines. 30 min of searching turned up nothing. I'm switching computers, and still like the game so.... can someone link/bump it?

Its a typical saturday night in the Angry Badger tavern. Kazador is serving his finest brew at the bar, his old warxes straped on the wall behind him. Valandra is cooking in the back (using an indestructable scroll as a pot holder). Kennth is almost done with his warm up prestetigation act, he...

4e has 'daily' rests which are 8 hrs down time. These are easy enough to discourage/plan for. My players are usually reasonable about when or if they are taken. There are also 5 min breaks which restore HP and some powers (including healing spells) These are harder to discourage, and they...

Another battle report: New dragon + 2 duegar scouts, 2 kobold wyrm priests and an l6 skirmisher (vs a level 4 party, 6 PCs and an ineffective NPC) 1775xp -NPC = level +2-3 encounter. This was a great battle! PCs loved it. The battle ground was very crowded, and the dragon appeared in...

Last session started with one PCs foster father showing up and giving him a suit of +2 Dwarven Scalemail as a gift. His uncle Mr Bierstadt had been working on it and was hoping to give it to him as a going away present, but you can't hurry good crafting. The PC was a goliath raised by...

this thread makes me want to run an invisable maze. But game / edtiton is important. In 4e a single monster or trap rarely a threat or challange. So that exploring the maze slowly would mean that the tradtional challanges, like a pit trap or single monster are ineffective. (One of my players...

Are you suggesting we roleplay while roleplaying? I have edited my books from day 1. and illustrated them. (I was 9) My 1st ed books are kind of embaressing - due to bad coloring of all black and white artwork, and the dragons hand-drawn on the inside of the covers. My 4e books have minor...

Two sessions ago, two of the PCs made a deal with a Scaven Witch, to stay in her lair for protection and to learn new rituals. After a day of playing nice, she confiscated thier personal spell books, and specified that protection did not exclude her people from beating them unconcious, if the...

Essencials is a stealth driven 4.5 edition. Its aboselutely unfair that I have to by new books. Im super unhappy with all the changes that I will be forced to make to integrate the new rules to my existing campaign. (twenty eight to go.)

Dingle, Ireland is great! I stole the whole town and ran a great adventure based on it. PCs visited 13 of 52 bars looking for a famous drunkard. Had to change the name of the town though....

"3" that will succeed at nothing. besides the d20 I also have a d8 and a d6 in my desk drawer. I have no explination.

thanks for the new dragon, I added it to MB immediately. althought I did drop the shroud power to an encounter ability. I like the acid blood - would dropping it to 3 damage (8 if vulernerable) bring it back in-line? I also updated the young white with better damage, instinctive devouring...

My campaign is similar to Plane sailing in that its more like an interchange than a railroad. Even when I don't want or expect it to be. Perhaps my hooks and implications are too subtle. Or maybe I'm just dissapointed the PCs avoided a hook that was supposed to help set the theme of the...

Theres alot of good ideas here... Im goint to break the challange into 2 parts: the first part is preperation, (nature, history, religion, or heal) Ill let the players descriptions tell me which skill they are using. The check will be hard, but if sucessful will reduce all DCs by 1. (if...

Does anyone have a good mountain climbing skill challange? or remeber one from a dungeon adventure? The Goliath in my group is being sent to the summit of a mountain, as a tribal coming of age quest. He has to carry a rock with him, to make the mountain taller. You would think I could draw...

Im glad I read this thread, despite the tangent. I just started a 4e campaign, (3rd session coming up) and slowing advancement would really help me. The PCs hit level 2 in the middle of the second session, mostly because they went past what I had planned and I gained 20min to write up the next...

Here are three riddles I have prepped for a upcoming Fae riddle contest. I think I got them from googling "Old riddles" and following links: the first is my one of my favoriate gaming riddles. I am the beginning of eternity The end of time and space The beginning of every end, And the end...

A slight tangent - I applaud 4e actually making clockwork horrors useable. I mean come on they were supposed to be little buggers that showed up in the thousands and ravaged worlds and yet thay all had less than 5HD So you could either throw just a few at low level parties, or throw many at...

This is a hugely one-side response. I think if you want to run option 1, you start the world normally, and develop the threat as the game progresses. Its really the lack of player choice, and the thought of having to save the world right from first level that would suck. It might work as a...

Since 4ed yes. I set up a world where each god takes turns as the "Ascended One" The turn of each god is called an age, and they currently last 200 years. Only the "Ascended One" or their lesser gods, have the direct power to use Avatars, give prophecies, and in other ways directly...
