Hmm, I would recommend both Lost City of Barakus and Vault of Larrin Karr by Necromancer Games, if you like to play less linear adventures.

Wikipedia Entry I was confused, too, but after reading through that wikipedia entry I would say, German-Style-Board games are what I expect modern games, that are not designed as party games, to be like. If someone says to me, I have bought a new board game, I would expect it to fall into that...

Having done a bit more research and considering those great ideas above, I deviced a new Background for the Campaign. This plot will rn in the background though, I plan on using it as an event guideline and watch what my players will do. The finale if and whenever it would happen, would be the...

Hmm, my friends, my family most people I know and myself played monopoly occassionaly. Before there was Settlers of Catan. Settlers of Catan is huge here. Many people own a copy of Settlers (though not as many as monopoly, as nearly everyone owned a copy of that game in the past) and I am pretty...

Well, I'm seriously considering getting into that path at this point. I just looked through some of the adventures, they are fantastic. But being the kind of DM I am, I would try to do a late entrance (ie. somehow starting the whole thing with the level 10 adventure, Tides of Dread, maybe doing...

Well, they do what ever I present them. Which is one of my major problems with the campaign as is. It put my players pretty much in Adventure Path mode. They follow the story like well behaving little puppies... they do that because they do not want to ruin my plot! And thats the worst thing...

I that might be pretty cool. I allready have some of the old planescape material (I love those cheap 2nd ed. pdfs :-) ) but there is one major problem with that plan... how to make them stay with out cheating? (Cheating= "Sorry folks, new campaign, old characters, do not try to get back to...

Maybe I should have been clearer about this: I will finish the current storyline, which will take (depending upon my players actions) between 2 and 4 sessions. After that, they would be without a base (having rested at the same Inn appr. 8 times hardly counts as a base) and only knowing like...

Yep, you are right, if a DM plans a story, he will sooner or later know the possible end. The best campaigns I have both played in and DMed were Sandbox Campaigns, though. Where you do not really create a campaign, but "wait" for the PCs to do something and react. I had a blast being a player in...

okay, I need some more help here, as this is something I am really bad at: I want to turn my campaign into a site based campaign, with my players being firmly planted in a city with lots of adventuring going on around that city. I have often done this for low level parties. They come to a big...

Hmm, I do not like APs. Both as a player and as a DM. As a DM, they bore me. Why bother playing when you know the end allready? I feel like someone reading a book to my players. A book I know the end of allready. Not someone participating in the creation of a story together with my players. As...

Now thats a horror story... shudder. You're right, changing the tone of a campaign did not ever serve me well with D&D 3rd. Once you hit upper levels, characters are highly specialized. (For example, one day I want to play "Return to the Tomb of Horrors" ... but I have aparty built to fight drow...

I gave the whole thing a few more thoughts. First, I really love creating a setting. Not homebrew worlds, but bringing a setting to life, creating NPCs on the fly, the players will remember and interact with. My campaign startet out in Tilverton. I have put work into the Gond Temple (and Olaf...

Okay, I need help! Seriously... last week, something happend that happens to me again and again. I lost interest in my campaign. Burn Out? I doubt that. I love to DM. I just really have a problem with staying focused. I read something, and think, hey, I want to play a game like that... hmm...

:D :D :D Actually, playing WoW was a very strange experience for me (played it for maybe 6 month without reaching level 45...). I had to force myself to continue playing. (Which I wanted to do, in a way, as I really liked the opportunities you have concerning talents and equipment and...

hmm, I like the basic idea. Of course, ending a campaign with: Sorry, did not matter at all would be a total desaster. But I think you could create a fine campaign and a superb ending, out of the basics. A long campaign of searching hints and following those hints. Speaking to members of an...

so, the game is tomorrow. Any "last minute" ideas? I'm particulary stuck at the succubus' items and feats. She could get equipment up to 10000gp and I could change her feats, I just do not have any good ideas... any help would be highly appreciated.

hmm, to be honest, I simply would not offer a feat that enhances the draconic aura. The first one was a must have and I see the chain as being balanced. But, I think what will happen is, your player will take the whole chain, because he thinks it is neccessary to make his class as powerfull as...

the first feat seems to be a "must have" feat, to me. Something I do not like. I do not think it is a good thing when you, as a player, seem forced to take a certain feat because all it does is improving your class' base ability in a huge way. There allready is one feat like that for the DS...

1. yep, I know. Sadly, till now, I did not come up with a descent idea. (It does not help that the player did not gibe me any information till now. Oh well, some time left till thursday...) 2. Hmm, how would you accomplish that? Currently I really do not now how to make my players belive them...
