A thought that hasn't be covered yet is to consider the intangibles of your enterprise. I assume you are going to have a place to sell your mead: an inn, a pub, or some other establishment. Or perhaps you have a partnership with several proprietors of such. These connections could lead to...

And will these stamps work with Tact-Tiles? If so, you have a new customer (read--I suck a drawing, my players often can't tell the difference between my doors and my walls).

Care to explain?

I use the WP/VP system for two campaigns I run, one modern and one standard D&D, and I have to tell you, you really need to exercise some forethought when you implement this system. Since a critical goes straight to WP, combat is deadly, even if you take away the damage multipliers. One crit...

Thanks. That's what I'm doing now. Wish me luck!

I've just been selected to run the Adventure Path for my group. I've only paid casual attention to the story in Dungeon, so I'd appreciate any advice from DMs who've run this in the past. Oh, did I mention that the game starts in two hours? HELP!!!

What a lucky dog the ogre is. Not only is he right across the page from the 3.5 nymph (YOW!!), but he's even drawn so that he can check her out when the book is open. Some guys get all the luck I tell ya. And to top it off, when you close the page, they lay right across each other. *snicker*

Tears for Twilight Hollow, from Dungeon, is a fantastic adventure.

I don't know what world you play in, but with a slogan like that, any half-orc worth his salt is going to get results. I never bought the whole charisma=intimidate line anyways. Think about the real world...there is a reason the shady types always have a big, hulking oaf around: he doesn't have...

I've been longing for some Tomb of Horrors action myself. Not as a player, mind you, but as a DM. My players have been getting a little too sure of themselves for their own good. Maybe a trek through something which the best they can hope for is survival would do them some good...well, at least...

Thanks for the pointers. I'm thinking about making the character a veteran returning from Otto II's failed invasion of Italy.

A Call of Cthulu Dark Ages game is coming up for my group. I'll be playing a brigand of Germanic descent with a military background. What I need to know is what was going on in the area (northeast Europe) around 982CE; important wars, political upheavals, things like that. Thanks!

I'm not sure about suicide, but it does make me break out in an awful rash whenever I hear it. Seriously though, D&D does lead to Satanism. In fact, up until a couple of weeks ago ol' Beelzebub was a regular at my Wednesday night game. Had to kick him out though. I mean, sure he played a great...

Thanks for all the great ideas, everyone! Another idea that has been brewing in my head for some time now is the affect of a truly gigantic metropolis (I'm talking a million+ residents) on a standard fantasy campaign world. Some ideas include a techno-religion (similar to the Hammerites of the...

Deal. I never take anything personally, unless you talk about my mother, in which case I'll be forced to kick you in the knee. I yanked your email addy off of your site, so I'll send something your way in a couple of days.

Well, thank you! As it so happens, I'm in the early planning stages of this right now. You know, the really fun part where the plate is still clean and everything is wide open. I'm looking for someone to bounce ideas back and forth with. I know you're a busy mouse and all, but if you're...

Explorers into the unknown I'm tossing around an idea right now to put the fear of the unknown back into d&d. The basic premise is that on the campaign world, the human settlements all cling to the coast of a vast continent. The players would all start as humans and would be a part of an...

Good question. I mean plothooks, adventure ideas, world design ideas, alternate races or other oddities that never saw the light of day. I'd like to keep the rules out of it as much as possible, but if it is an integral part of the idea than they can be included as well.

What is the coolest idea you've ever had for your homebrew that never actually made it into your campaign world? I ask because I think it would be neat to create a depository for unused campaign ideas.

I've tried about every adventure creation method known to man. I've tried the scene format mentioned earlier, played around with flowcharts, and even (much to my pain and sorrow) a completely free-form player driven format, which basically involved my players sitting around the table staring at...
