    Mad King's Banquet 4e: To Bresk via water?

    Ran this yesterday. Thanks for the advice, Ryan, I ended up going with brigands like you said. The party ended up capturing a brigand and I just tweaked the Refugees story a little bit so that they were indeed once refugees from Ragesia/Rego but turned to brigandry after Rego kicked them out of...

    New release schedule?

    So, um. It's been a week since the last update, any word on the new adventure? We're plowing through Mad King's Banquet, and while I'm sure you'll have it out well in time, I have to admit that three and a half months is far longer than I had planned for each adventure. Is this the estimated...

    Fantasy Grounds

    Thanks, talwynor, glad someone found some use for it. Dracomaxis, I run WotBS on FG2. The community at Fantasy Grounds :: The Virtual Tabletop for Pen & Paper Roleplaying Games is extremely helpful, but you can feel free to post any problems here, too, and me or someone else familiar with FG2...

    Mad King's Banquet 4e: To Bresk via water?

    We completed Act 1 of The Mad King's Banquet last session, and during the final "trip planning" scene one of the players expressed an interest in travelling by boat. :hmm: Once he explained the route (across the bay and up the Nasham), all the other players agreed this was a good plan. Luckily...

    Dead Rising Encounter too tough

    Well, pretty harsh, in my view. It's your responsibility as a DM to balance the encounters appropriately. If, indeed, you felt this encounter should be incredibly hard or even unbeatable, that's fine -- but it seems more of a case of you not realizing the monsters are overpowered. At that point...

    Ritual Interrupted

    I ran into a sticky situation with my party... half of them wanted to save the forest, the other half just wanted to get out. I don't think I impressed on them enough that the Shahalesti involvement in the fire was the key to the entire adventure, plot-wise. So, yeah, I think revealing that...

    Ritual Interrupted

    Um, spoilers, incase it wasn't obvious above. Well, I think you've got a pretty good handle on it. Frankly, I think Buttercup (nice name) might know much of what Nelle does, so you may want to refer to those snippets. She wouldn't know about Bhurisrava or his experiments, but she could provide...

    Starting Campaign - Monk Class

    Blade of the Resistance is definitely overpowered. +2 to damage against nearly any opponent as a free background feat goes beyond the very limited scope that background feats exist to fill in 4e. Compare to any of the background feats in PHB2, or Scales of War, or Forgotten Realms. I have yet to...

    Dead Rising Encounter too tough

    It actually worked out really well for me. One of the PCs was killed in the depository tower (wisp solon got a crit on her with its most powerful power, if I remember correctly) and Buron was reviving her. So I had the dead wake as an effect of the ressurection spell. That said, I agree with...

    WAR OF THE BURNING SKY - the novel!

    Since you said you're looking for feedback, I just thought I'd post that I mean to read it, but haven't gotten a chance to. I'll post something more substantial once I do so, but I don't know when that'll be. That said, I skimmed the post lengths and they seem fine to me...

    Help me understand Kurychek

    You've got it. I hated the fact that Kurychek and Kazyk were nearly identical, I think I started a thread about it some time back. So I ended up combining the two. If you'd like to try the same, here's what I suggest: Have Kurychek attempt to negotiate with the PCs. If they are suspicious and...

    NPC Dictionary of Name Pronunciation

    This is a good thread. A few off the top of my head, but I will probably be back later: Innenotdar: IN-naen-oh-dhar? Tiljann: TILL-jhan? TILL-yhen? Lyceum: lie-SEE-um? Pretty sure about this one. "Lie" as in to tell a LIE. Jutras: ZHOO-tras? JEW-tras? Er.... YOU-tras? Also, I like pronouncing...

    4Th Ed: Act Two: Rivers Flow to the Deep - character level?

    There's actually a lot less focus on level correctness in 4e in general, and even less in WotBS (partially because of the conversion). The level "ramp" is less steep, so you won't find a huge difference between level 4 PCs and level 5. Indeed, the difference is that they get their second daily...

    WotBS Redesigning Burning Sky Skill Challenges

    Awesome -- I'm glad someone took this up, since I haven't had any good ideas for redesigns since the river one. The Mushroom one was in bad need of a redesign, this look great! It's too bad I already ran it (I didn't really focus on the mushrooms, but I probably would have if this skill...

    Review of The Fire Forest of Innenotdar (Spoilers)

    I considered having Tiljann or some of the townspeople talk them out of it -- but I've been trying to use the "never say no!" rule of DMing...not to say that's a good thing or a bad thing, just trying it out more often. Also I'm starting to feel like having a character talk someone out of...

    Review of The Fire Forest of Innenotdar (Spoilers)

    Thanks for the ideas, RangerWickett, but I'm afriad I chose a much more complicated option... One of my players is a stringent follower of the Raven Queen. Unknown to him, I wanted to take advantage of WotBS's godless world... gods like the Raven Queen and Correllon and so on are just local...

    Ways to get hold of War of the Burning Sky

    This might also be a good place to mention that those who purchase the PDF get access to the Fantasy Grounds 2 Virtual Tabletop version for free! There are links to the modules on the WotBS front page.

    WotBS WotBS #4 - Mad Kings Banquet

    I'm tired of praising this adventure path, and I've only read the first three adventures! Enough praise, I say. :D
