WotC's Strahd figure: Reaper's Rafael, Vampire Noble from a couple of months ago: Hmm.

Yeah, I think he was the Evil Master of Six-Sided Figures. :p

5th level Commoner, Human, CN with NE tendencies Loot includes several Nobles' Outfits (I do the Ren Faire thing a lot) and a couple of unsharpened blades (rapier, cutlass, dagger).

We had a "technical" party wipe last week. Only one character survived, and really that was only so the DM would have a way to continue the campaign. He should have died right along with the rest of us. We were in a kuo-toan temple to rescue a dwarf, and we had just finished off the priests...

As a group? Little to nothing. The players make their characters using the guidelines set down by the DM (either verbally or via email), and the DM does his thing. I've tried doing surveys of players before, listing a number of in-game elements (combat, exploration, romance) and asking them...

It was a homebrewed world, and the area we were adventuring in suddenly came under the effects of a supernatural winter. All of a sudden, the bounty hunters who were chasing us had all kinds of arctic gear with no logical explanation of how they could have gotten it so fast. No, they weren't...

I second the suggestion to have something happen which forces the games to be delayed. On top of that, I would throw something in there to add some impetus to the PCs' involvement in them. Make it personal. Have a loved one kidnapped by a crime lord who wants to bet a fortune on the PCs...

So far we've seen that he has the following powers: --Create undead minions (his crew) --Breathe underwater (assuming he needs to breathe at all) --Limited teleportation (any area that is touching water?) --His heart acts as a lich's phylactery He has an artifact on board the Flying Duchman...

My decision in what race to play is determined by two things--character concept and the racial distribution of the party. If the rest of the party is human, chances are I will play a demihuman. If there are no elves in the party, then I will play an elf or a half-elf. Character concept plays...

Paladins are my favorite class, in concept if not in mechanics, and it always bugs me when the world designers stick in a god/dess who is clearly nothing more than a patron for paladins. Bye-bye, Heinous One.

Wait--did you say Feburary? I got a subscription last month and still haven't gotten my December issue! Is there some kind of weird three-month delay that I don't know about?

"Curse of the Dragon's Eye," IIRC.

What I really have to wonder is what happened to the real Locke and Mog (the characters Elan and Thog replaced)? :uhoh:

I just have Santa leave a Deck of Many Things for them under the Christmas tree. :]

As player and gamemaster both, I prefer rules-medium systems. Just enough crunch to define a character's abilities, but not so much that it becomes an exercise in mathematics to perform actions in-game.

I've volunteered to run a short (12-session) campaign while the current DM's wife is on hiatus. Does anyone know of any good published adventures that could be stretched over twelve sessions? I'd like to avoid dungeon crawls if at all possible. Oh, and it's not limited to D&D, either. Thanks...

It's a comic strip that runs in Dungeon Magazine.

I'm the biggest culprit of this, in or out of game. The DM's wife drops her fair share of f-bombs, though.

A technique known to a powerful ancient Precursor race, lost to the sands of time. In other words, the PCs can't do it. That way, finding a magic item is a big deal again.

Actually, your max ranks in Spot and Search should be 11 since they are class skills for one of your classes (PHB, Pg. 59). However, they would still cost two points per rank using fighter skill points.
