Is it CR8 because it's an 8th level spell?

I'm running two different groups through this now (a monthly game and a 1st,3rd & 5th wednesday game) I've been reading your blog for a while now, it's excellent and it's nice to see what the players have faced.

Personally, I found that PC's were in much more danger of dying when I started rolling in front of the screen. I always have to fight the urge to fudge in the players favor. If I suddenly find myself in <u>need</u> of fudging, monsters start getting extra stupid or suddenly don't have as many...

With a group that big, I'd be using the scaled encounters at least 50% of the time if not 75 or 90% That should help. Also increasing the frequency of random encounters should help just a little bit...

The magic missle solution is <i>shield</i> or a brooch of shielding.

We had a campaign that started at 12th level. My wizards cohort was old enough to be his son, but since my wizard was a former slave who was discovered by the slavers to be a spell casting prodigy he USED to be much more hale when he was younger and figuring out a way to free as many slaves as...

I used to game with someone who is just like this minus the charm person spells. I'm not talking about his character, I'm talking about him. He was a pyro expert and has a penchant for 18 year olds and he's currently 38 years old.

You know, a week isn't going to buy you as much time as feelings you could spare. If you had more time to plan, then maybe, but at this point I'd announce that chargen will happen next session at the end of this weeks session and then you still will have the ability to plan because if you don't...

I think as long as these kinds of books come out in this kind of frequency, you won't be seeing 4e anytime son.

In my groups we are all equally here to have fun. Equally here to participate (for the most part), and equally here to game. If balance is wayyy out of wack somebody is dominating the fun, participation, or spot light time and that's not going to fly where we game.

For the most part our current DM has the NPCs who are tougher than us show up, do their special nifty trick we will never be able to duplicate and then just sort of leave. We have only ran up against one uber powerful NPC that was an adversary. We are still after him but all the rest of the...

That's what worries me. It also doesn't entirely bode well that we're discussing my next campaign's start date. You don't think about those things if it's not a possibility (TPK --> Next campaign).

I specifically meant I'm not sure if we are the hunters or the prey. He lead an ambush against our employer. The campaign started off with the idea of when somebody put say a portable hole in a handy haversack it would open a rift to the outer planes and leave you there without your memory and...

We rotate DM's in my group. The DM that's running right now is running a planescape game where we've been to sigil, bytopia, all over the outlands and in various worlds across the prime. Personally, I've had my share of outsiders. That's an especially odd comment considering that we've been...

I'd be very interested in playing but not running such a game

Hmmmm, both definately have possibilities. Especially if the PCs decide to help the mind flayers get back control of the elder brain in exchange for a sessation of hostilites. Then of course they are betrayed.

Just trying to find a good "fit" for the particular race. Yak Folk for example seems like a really good choice for the mountain based Golliaths but they wouldn't exactly be invading the Shire to enslave Hobbits.

Rakshasa were the big evil for my last campaign. The campain started with hints that all the city-state leaders were actually Rakshasa. They had finally gotten control of all the city-states and it was time to see who would be the last Rakshasa standing. When the party figured out they were...

For my next campaign I'm going to ask the players to all be of the same race (from the list below) The general theme will be that they'll be living quasi-peacefully in their mostly isolated racial community/lands until the big evil comes. I'm going to ask them to be all Dwarves, Elves...
