You should think about NPC personalities and such. Looking at Dungeonscape may help. It would difficult to get fully fleshed out NPCs with their own personalities and unique roles in fifteen minutes, though if possible, it would be fantastic. My struggles in my campaigns have usually been...

Has anyone said simply avoid the edge? Its all in knowing your enemy. If you figure out he has the power to push you around, its your responsibility to maneuver yourself to a safer position on your own time. And its not like they push you out of nowhere, they need to get past your defenses. (I'm...

The reason I don't do this often, and I bet most other people as well, is because we're stuck on the idea that if it's official, it's balanced. Stuff other people make is either over or underpowered.

Hmm... Have we verified death at 0 HP? I'm probably missing something because everyone seems certain, but if you do 4 damage to a minion, would he not just be at -3HP? Only if you deal 11 damage does he actually die. Though I think I'm missing something, since that defeats the purpose of...

I've never really understood the whole skill challenge concept. It seemed a bit contrived for me. Like, the PC's are going to say "Alright, I have three successes so far, and it isn't done, so I have at least two fails before I'm screwed." And like you said, if it takes more then a move act to...

My half-orc bard. He took the unarmored defense feat from swashbuckler (or something, I don't really know, the DM showed it to me) and whenever he wasn't in a city or something, he would take "unarmored" as far as it goes. The DM ruled that everyone within 10' of him whenever he was singing and...

I had a GM with a cool idea once. I don't remember his reason, I think he said that he was really busy, but the result was that each session was held at a different venue. We didn't realize until halfway through that this was to make us feel more in the game. For example, when we were...

Wow. Thanks for the great ideas, everyone. I would rather an isolated city, so the small surrounding villages idea sounds perfect. Plus building it on top of a larger city seems like a good idea to keep them safe from the guards. (Perhaps some are searching down there, giving the PCs the task...

I agree with your point about city size. The reason I wanted it to be away from other settlements is because the town capital probably has a problem with it being taken over. If it was difficult to get to, chances are the capital wouldn't interfere for longer. However, I never thought that this...

Started playing DnD a while ago, absolutely in love with DMing. Currently in BC, Canada. Going to be starting a Game Art Design course soon, and if my dream of going and working for Atlus or Squaresoft as an artist doesn't work, I'm planning on working on artwork for roleplaying games. These...

Hi, I'm kind of new to the forums, so this is my best guess as to where to put this. Anyway, I'm going to be starting an adventure in a while after I move, and I've hit a snag. I have ideas, but none of them seem to work. The start of the adventure has all of the players in the sewers of a...
