I thought this one would be a lot of fun, considering the location. When I downloaded it, I thought it was so terrible, I canceled the event and sanctioned a new one to get another adventure. Just ran CORM 1-1 and thought it was really cool. My party decided to chase Dark Skull and it ended up...

Oops, good call. I don't quite get the naming/numbering convention and just assumed "-4" was one of the higher level adventures. It does look interesting...

I've started running some RPGA adventures for my group and I am curious which ones people think are the best. Picked from a thread from the WotC boards, which of these Level 1-4 adventures did you like a lot? If Other, please specify. Please respond if you played or DM'd it. This list is almost...

You might want to catch that show Numbers on CBS. Non-technical but fundamentally adventuring with mathematics. I also would recommend material on Chaos theory--sensitive dependence on initial conditions sounds like something that could drive a character idea.

We didn't even consider them until I spoke with him. Maybe it was how they were presented for sale? Were people concerned about limited use? Thought they were only aimed at DDM? I do know we really like them...

You may want to provide some direct feedback to WotC (dndinsider@wizards.com ?) about this. When I was at GenCon a few years ago, one of the marketing guys told me that Fantastic Locations didn't sell as well as they thought it would have. As an avid user, perhaps you should give some feedback...

The real question is will sales increase? Setting legal issues aside, the real concern is dollars and my guess is the level of piracy is irrelevant as long as sales increase.

In 4e, giants are mostly Large, but the titans are Huge.

Some ships in the 18th and 19th century would go pretty far south to get into the 'westerlies' (about 40-50 degrees South latitude). Might be interesting to find one frozen in a glacier... who knows what sort of evil and sinister things the sailors resorted to with their ship frozen in for the...

This sounds kinda like a bad-DM recovery group. "My handle is Dedekind and I was once a bad DM..." I echo the "Yes, and..." comments. The side benefit for me is I find things more interesting to DM when I get to make it up on the fly. I would like to add that, as a player, I hate gotcha...

I go back and forth on the names. My favorite one to laugh at so far is Enduring Wallop (a feat) and Rub Dirt On It (a power). Someone used Dark Moon Revenge, or something for their warlock the other night and we all started to giggle.

I remember that encounter so well. I came so close to killing the party. That is a tough one all around. You might want to check to see if the old Paizo board is still up. This one was talked about a bunch. As for the Aushanna, why don't you just decide there is a ward such that she can't go...

Given that the incentives exist, the anecdotal evidence given in this thread suggests it isn't a particularly strong one. I, too, add to the other comments that healing surges are the primary determinant of when we rest. I grant, however, that a less hardcore rpg player might give a different...

Conceptually, I think it is awesome. There is an in-game mechanic that encourages more play and also makes things seem heroic. As a DM, I don't think it provides enough encouragement to not have a five minute work day. As a player, I really like them, but I wish there was more in-game benefits...

We had 15 total character deaths for Shackled City with one TPK. The Paizo boards ran a thread on it and it seemed that the average campaign deaths was 17-20. I have no idea how that compares to most non-AP campaigns. I know for my group, they complained because it was by far the highest number...

$7 a month is a pretty big amount. I wonder how much it takes to run the whole thing? Is the material retroactive? If you subscribe, do you get all the old material? I know pay news sites (like Wall Street Journal) have only limited archives available.

Probably not a bad idea, but it seems they are committed to making everything that is core also fit in their settings. I know that was the philosophy on Eberron and I think it was the case for FR. So, Divine would have to be included with these parameters.

I sorta did this. I made raise dead/resurrection/True resurrection pretty easily available once the characters hit 12th level. In exchange, they needed to keep the same character to keep continuity. As for "punishing" characters that died, I modified one of Andy Collins' optional rules...

I'm expecting a whole new setting. Didn't they retain the rights to the best three from the campaign setting competition several years ago? If that is true, that have two setting bibles that just need some expansion.

As someone who loves being team player, the warlord has been the best thing ever. In fact, it was the class I always wanted to play, but never could. As a counterpoint to the thread, if you are not willing to play as a team, than basically all the class abilities of Defenders and Leaders are...
