    Best Laid Plans....

    Last night my players were attacked while they slept by a drow priestess on nightmare-back, who blew a hole in the wall of their second-floor room at the inn. While a spell duel raged, the impetuous fighter climbed up some convenient stairs to the roof and attempted to leap off onto the drow...

    Advertising in the Arena

    Great stuff! Just looking at the Monster list is a solid source of inspiration. "Got a monster lich? Boom! Try tough-actin' Tinactin"

    Advertising in the Arena

    My group's about to enter the Champion's Games (part of the Age of Worms saga). I thought it would make the city (in this case, Waterdeep) more memorable if there was advertising at the games, similar to what we have on the walls at baseball games and such. So far, I've got a wall banner that...

    Invisibility

    I came into this forum looking for something just like this. My players just fought an invisible stalker in the Age of Worms campaign, and it was simply a PITA. Now one of my players (whose character died shortly afterward) has come up with a pixie character. Even bigger PITA. He knows it's...

    Sneak attack inside a creature?

    I was just thinking about this situation, and bingo! here's the thread. FWIW, I agree - the chances of recognizing the vitals of a creature from the inside are pretty freakin' slim, particularly when you're knee-deep in digestive juices and constricting stomach walls.

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Rogue PC enters a magically darkened room in the WLD. PC: "I move in 5' and feel around." DM: "You don't feel anything. It smells like a wet dog in here." PC: "I move in 5' and feel around." DM: "You don't feel anything. You hear a low growling..." PC: "I move in 5' and feel around." DM...

    Never played D&D and taking role as DM

    Bunch of short, good, FREE modules here. You could play for years on those alone.

    Can you check my account as well, please? I just became a supporter when the sale came back on (after the crash, I think), but I can't find the Search function (except when I reply to a thread - bizarre). Thanks!

    Mearls redesigns the Ogre Mage

    Where was this just three days ago? I just put my players through a battle with one of these and her barbarian ogre 'lover'. After the Cone of Cold, this thing was almost useless - just flew around regenerating and sneaking in invisible to try again. Fight took two hours!

    Tell me about Affiliations

    I'm introducing them next week into my Age of Worms campaign as the PCs hit Waterdeep. I think it will be cool to try it out with this AP, but even more afterward. Their epic-level PCs can retire to running these affiliations/guilds, and their new PCs will be trying to work their way up the...

    Help! My players are spooning apart my campaign!

    Why was the artifact "long-lost"? Because the combination of Adamantine and this particular magic caused a radiation disease in the user. Incurable, never-touch-it-again, ability-eroding, "and that, laddie, is why I pitched it in the bog" disease.

    An Alternative to the Tavern Cliche

    My campaigns (other than the AoW I'm currently running) take place initially at the little burg of Corm Orp, in the Western Heartlands of Faerun. The characters are all members of the local militia. Each daily shift consists of three squads, two of which guard each of the roads leading into...

    What next for FR?

    Western Heartlands. All my campaigns have started in the quaint little village of Corm Orp...

    Dopey things DM's have done.

    Dopiest thing I do is drink beer while DMing. Besides spitting and belching, there's frequently some 'cool' little magic item that I may-or-may-not have made up on the spot that appears at next week's game. Eh, what the hell. They keep coming back.

    GameMastery Item Packs

    I introduced the cards into my game last week to good critical reviews. Bought card protectors for them so that I could write on them and later reuse the cards. Don't see me buying the boosters, even though I need a trident badly. I can make my own.

    I hate to DM

    After creating my own FR campaign from scratch and running it, I found the strain on my time to come up with something new each week was killing my desire to DM. Published adventures to the rescue. I started with some of Goodman Games' stuff, then moved to the Age of Worms. They have been...

    3 Dragon Ante in actual play?

    I echo the statements made her, mostly. I bought the deck, and we had a good couple games on a non-D&D night. I wanted to make it part of the campaign (as a way to introduce an NPC), but the rules for skills just didn't provide enough oomph to drag out the D&D session with it. As a bar game...

    Goofy figs.

    I represented a horde of lizardfolk with the appropriate cardboard counters, but had them standing upright in a Kraft caramel with a slit cut in top. "Eat what you kill."
