    Starting New FR Campaign, Need Advice

    Consider reading of Al-Qadim materials, especially two fundamental books. You can find a lot of fantasy-medieval-Arabic flavor there, plus a lot of desert / sea / jungle spells, classes (converted for 3e in Dragon), magic items. Especially sha'ir can be useful for Your adventures. Al-Qadim...

    Red Hand of Doom reloaded

    We played: one part = one session (6+ hours) = one level up.

    Is Originality important ?

    RPG is not fine art, so originality is just nice addition, not obligation of DM.

    All PC dead, what to do?

    They are not regents, they have one hamlet (150 peasants) in Moergen. But why you are talking about bloodline loose? They were not bloodthefted, but killed normally by daggers-in-their-eyes, so they not loose bloodline. Oh yes, they as ghosts earned a gratefulness of all knights and even...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    My players decide their PC stay in this world as ghosts, with limited area of influence. They need to finish their business within those limitation, otherwhise afterlife claims them and they are truly lost. We use Ghostwalk types of pseudo-ghost to not modify their sheets too much. There was...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    Today I will run a session - cold meat party. These are solutions to talk for my players. 1. 2. 3. 4. The only female character of fellowship was absent, and she will help her friends if she can play next session. 5.

    All PC dead, what to do?

    ad 1. But from the other side. You are playing assassin. Your DM demands you to make move silently check each round. Probability you fail is 5%/rd, so everytime after 20rd you are lame. IMHO one chcek was enough, because there was one challenge (reach victim silently). Now I think, I could make...

    Does getting treasure equal fun?

    Sometimes - I don't need treasure for fun but it relaly helps. Another topic is a distribution of them, eg. in the group I'm a player, one of us have sword+10, armor+10, bracers of Str+6, and the rest found none until 10 sessions. And when he finds amulet+5 and we find non again, I'm not happy...

    The Night Below - your experiences?

    I ran it. D = Below average but passing. Dungeon crawlin' in the style of Icewind Dale 2 or NWN Hordes of Underdark. A lot of stats to converse from AD&D. A lot of plotline inconsistencies which had me frowning in consternation.

    All PC dead, what to do?

    This is my first TPK in 12 years DM career, so I'm little confused. So, I have another interesting idea to propose my players. And another, because only female character of fellowship was absent, and she will help her friends if she can play next session. The rest ideas to handle TPK are...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    DC10 is quite good DC for the lock in little inn situated in the middle of nowhere. There can be no lock in such doors, too. Idea is good, but cheap, and I'm not Quentin Tarrantino to turn cheap ideas into cool-again. As a player I will imagine: "Everytime I will die, DM will turn it into...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    Yes, I gave them a warning, that a woman tries to listen their conversations with patrons, when they ate a supper, but they ignored this. But it's not fully their fault - they suspected the villagers hiden the child my PCs seek, so players thought they are watched because of this child.

    All PC dead, what to do?

    There are single rooms only in the adventure. It's quite strange by medieval standards, so my inkeeper proposed the PCs expensive single or cheap common dormitory. They chose single rooms. I think, from this day until the end of the world it will be first thing my PC will do. :D Len answered...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    :lol: They have mithral chain shirts, amulets with glimmering fireflies, inteligent talking extremly-fancy-crafted scimitars (weapons of legacy, feuding genies forced by ritual to not fight among themselves), signet rings with heraldic seals (all PCS are lord knights and some are inquisitors)...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    I was panicked if I were she. I know I killed powerful guys with a lot of fancy (magical) items. They have that terrible magic, they find me! I must run away as fast and as far as possible, probably to the thieves guild, because only they can defend me against all these terrible divinations...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    Thanks all for suggestions how to handle with game crisis. I have another question for DMs on this topic now. I assume my players were not fully responsible for situation described above. I don't want to make >>redo<< action, so there will be probably raise dead or something similiar. Lost...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    The point isn't all PC are dead - it's acceptable for me and them in the climax, eg. fighting The Gorgon or other Manshoon, but they died at hands of little cowardly ruffian from Coeranys' thorp - she's sidekick of sidekick. So it's not like D&D :(. I will do it, but I'm asking you...

    All PC dead, what to do?

    I saw it like that: She smears the lock and the hinges with oil, then silently opens the lock. Then she waits and listens, the target is still sleeping. If yes (eg. he's snoring), she comes into the room <- in this moment I made opposite checks for PC Listen and her Move Silently. Then she...
