Thanks for the link! That sounds reasonable, but the main reason I didn't go ahead and reduce the treasure value is that I like the idea of welcoming PCs to paragon level with scads of platinum pieces. I think I could reduce the number somewhat and get the same effect, but what I'm wondering is...

I'm ready to run the last stretch of Trollhaunt, where the PCs are truly ushered into the paragon tier. I understand that there's a big leap from heroic to paragon in terms of treasure, but the rewards here seem to be a bit much. The first feywild encounter rewards the PCs with 570p. The...

Is this adventure Call of Cthulhu, 3.5 or 4E?

By the accounts of Ryan Dancey and others who saw TSR's financial situation in its final days, those printings were not in response to demand and unsold or returned copies were a major factor to TSR's bankruptcy. A print run also only means that a batch of copies has been produced, and gives no...

I've heard that one of the designers of Blue Planet is a marine biologist, and I think the setting does a pretty good job of creating an imaginary ecosystem. I even saw an alien taxonomy in one book. But for the most part, RPGs are willfully ignorant of biology and ecology.

A lot of the powers in the original were mismarked as immediate interrupts when they had no triggers, and should have been standard actions. As far as I know that was the only problem.

Replied to subscribe. I'm very interested in this. :) Can this idea be extended to My Little Pony? Because there was a lot of adventure in the old series, more than guys probably realize. I think it lends well to a role-playing game.

Oh, I read Set as saying "there is a class that's new," but "there will be a new class" makes a lot more sense. Yeah, the monk is just new-er.

This thread was already making me nostalgic, after a post like this I am going to have to run another Mystara game. One of my players suggested dropping the Nentir Vale in Mystara. I wasn't sure about the idea, but I'm liking it more and more.

The new class is the monk. Druids have been "planned" forever, but still no real news on them. The new content patch may be adding the druid, but I would not hold my breath. Wild shape and dozens more spells is a much greater undertaking than adding, say, an unlockable assassin class.

You and I are the only people on EN World who get Mystara. ;)

Badwrongfun is the silly, unadulterated fun of a party of anthropomorphic humanoids flying to the moon on an airship and befriending a village of intelligent flying squirrels. Because that's what Mystara was when we were ten years old. I think you read too much into that comment. My point was...

Mystara is a hollow world with an internal sun. It has the Princess Ark, among other airships. It has the Red Curse, which can transform the unwarded into monsters. It's populated by creatures not seen anywhere else in D&D, and some that might be familiar, such as the nagpa. It has a metaplot...

Has anything been said about the price of the PDF?

At $50 Ultimate Toolbox is anything but cheap. It's a sequel to AEG's Toolbox, which should be just fine for what you need and significantly less at $15 used on Amazon. For treasure lists, I really recommend Necromancer Games' Mother of All Treasure Tables. But neither of these things are free...

I couldn't dig up the thread with Google, I may be misremembering. Sorry.

No, according to Rouse and others DDM have been made in the US for a long time now.

Solo difficulties were added to many quests and dungeons a while back, but if you ask me around level 4-5 it becomes obvious that all they did was scale everything back ~20% and call it a day. There are solo dungeons I could not possibly complete with any build, and on solo difficulty you can't...

I really thought that changelings would get an additional language when translated from doppelganger. How bizarre that the social chameleon of races is now one of the least linguistic.

You can do better than that as a duo if you don't mind spending some money. The recently introduced hireling mechanic lets each person bring an NPC hireling along and they are generally pretty good, especially the clerics. You can also command your hireling to stand on triggers or interact with...
