I certainly take the players opinions into play, but for my group, the final say for all of these usually comes down to me (as both DM and host).

I was always interested, at first my older brothers and their friends played briefly but wouldn't let me. I remember the covers of Pharoah and the the Moldovay Basic & Expert sets attracting me, though by the time I got my own stuff and started playing, is with the Elmore-covered Mentzer red...

It looks like they'll be using the new tactical (aka delve) format for the online Dungeon. Bummer, not a fan, but then, I'm planning on going to Paizo for most of my adventure needs anyway.

Plus, I'm sure that a lot of that extra (non-adventure material) in Pathfinder will be Paizo's take on exactly this kind of stuff.

Well, I'm not complaining, I always felt traps were too big of a part of D&D. They're usually only a challenge for one character (the rogue), and the frequency in which they have generally been a part of most D&D structures makes it hard to suspend disbelief; who would really trap an area they...

In D&D, I'm partial to Ivid the Undying. In real world history, my favorite is Ethelred the Unready

Actually, I'm the DM, and am just trying to help my players with their PC selection. I actually have read the adventure, I just couldn't remember how necessary a normal rogue was and was hoping those that have played it might have opinions. For some reason my mind tends to gloss over traps and...

Great to hear that Chris West will be a regular contributor, he is top notch! Rob makes maps that are visually very appealing, but you guys should stay on him to make sure that the maps stay functional, and that they match the text descriptions of the rooms...sometime there seems to be a...

I know that historically the consensus around here is that bards are sub-par performers, however I was interested in whether or not people think that a bard would be a viable option for the "skill-user" role in the party for Red Hand. It seems like there is plenty of opportunity for diplomacy...

I thought this adventure was nice little freebie; great production values, solid enough adventure for a 16 page introductory module. I like the slight variation on the stat block, with the tactics listed before and during combat along with morale (in this case, just a note saying that the...

A ranger with the right choice in favored enemies will have a chance to shine more so than in most campaigns. Other than that, I'd say that the basic 4 are all good, though I think a strong argument could be made for having a scout (from Complete Adventurer) instead of a rogue.

Thanks for the continued feedback. As for ability scores, we're not using point buy, we're using 4d6 drop lowest, arrange as desired.

My group will likely consist of 5-6 PCs so I will want to err on the side of the lower level.

Great, thanks!

I know that this has come up before, but since I don't have search function at present, needed to put the question out there again. The cover of Red Hand of Doom lists character levels 6-12, but in the intro it says that its designed for a party beginning at 5th level. Does anyone recall which...

Truth or Consequences used to be called Hot Springs but it renamed it self after the radio game show of the same name. They've voted a couple times since on whether or not to change the name back but so far have decided to stick with it. Additional details can be found here.

Yep, I'm with the Aussies here, it's certainly not impossible. I admit that I always found it unusual, but I just figured that the two outflows on the Nyr Dyv were at the same elevation, adn that the higher land in the middle that forms that Cairn Hills and Abbor Alz keeps the two drainage...

There are definitely bigger Greyhawk experts than I around these parts, but I think this came up recently and the verdict was that such a map has not been published. I'd just grab something similar from another source if I were you. For example, this map of Wheloon from the Forgotten Realms...

I doubt that if it was Vancouver, WA he'd have given it top billing.

I don't see it as a problem at all. In fact, I generally prefer to see a player start a new character when the old one dies. A meaningful death lends verisimilitude to the campaign, and is often one of the more memorable events of the campaign.
