The Jan/Feb 2002 issue of Dungeon Magazine has a great adventure called "Totentanz" that has a ton of undead. I played this adventure as a player and it was a blast. It has maybe 1 level of experience in it but you could expand it or string it together with another adventure.

hmmm...I might use Evilhalfling's idea of having the PCs have different agendas on the adventure. I can do this even though I am not creating the PCs. I could just put the PCs in a city ruled by a syndicate of the heads of the most powerful organizations in town (Temple of Pelor, Wizard's...

I'm writing a one shot adventure for 5-8 8th level characters. They are only allowed to use core rules and items when creating their PCs. Here's my request: Give me an idea for a one-shot adventure. We should have about 8 hours of game-time to play with. I'd like the adventure to have a...

That was a hillarious session! But the ending went like this: the cleric and the unconscious party wizard are sealed up in the wall of force that rapidly fills with water. So, the cleric (who wore only leather armor luckily) grabs the wizard and swims through hole #2 in the dam. But...

Also: with the headband of intellect - that affects the DCs of my spells but I DON'T get more bonus spells for having it, right? For determining bonus spells, my Int is still a 22, right?

Wow, these are all great suggestions. I think I am going to specialize in divination. I'm also going to take leadership to take advantage of my PC's Cha of 16. I would have never thought of Boccob's blessed book, but I totally see the benefit. I think I am going to take Mastery of Shaping...

I'm building an archmage from scratch. Sun Elf, Int 22, Wiz 13/Acm1 I've got 150,000 gp to spend. Here are my questions. 1. Should I buy the Robe of the Archmage? It costs 75,000 gp (half my wealth). Should I go for the same effect with different items? +5 armor bonus to AC. Spell...

tonystrongman, I replied over at the other boards! I'll make a detailed response tomorrw night when I have time (Mondays are a very busy day). In short, I'm in. :D

So, here' s the deal. I really like the Realms but my pen and paper group doesn't really care about the setting (or ANY setting for that matter). So, I really would like to be a player in a pbp FR game. I'm calling out to a potential DM here. Yo! Whoo hoo! Let's bash some Zhents! Let's...

I like AoO and I understand them. I can avoid them if i want and I like the tactical layer they bring to the game. But my players all started playing with OD&D. They are all smart people and could grasp AoO if they wanted - but they don't want to. They just want to roleplay and kill orcs and...

Here's what I'm considering doing. 1. AoO don't exist. This means that combats should take less time because players won't be sitting there thinking of ways to avoid the AoO. 2. Because this change makes it too easy to flank, flanking doesn't exist either. 3. Rogue can feint as a move...

Has anyone here dropped AoO? What were the results? Did it work well? Did you have to change other rules? Which ones? Does it make the rogue's backstab ability too easy to use since they can flank with impunity?

The realms are huge, big, big, really big. I would focus on giving her the flavor of thearea they are in and its sourrounding lands. So, If they are in the High Forest, focus on that plus Cormyr, the Marsh of Chelimber, Aunorach, the big trade route between the Heartlands and the Sword Coast...

I fall into the "I don't see why this is even an issue" camp.

That's a very good idea. The second dungeon does seem superfluous. No reason why the slave auction can't be going on in the gnomish city.

Yes - I'm going to shorten the first dungeon. I think maybe half of it suffered from a cave in. :) The second dungeon will probably also get shortened a bit.

Thanks for writing this - I'm enjoying reading it. I'm also putting out a shameless call for help. I'm planning on running the new adventure path series this summer. If any of you can chime in with some advice, please see the thread referenced in my signature.

I promise to *bump* only once....

thanks! this is all very helpful, especially the index. Keep it coming.

"Beast of Burden" from one of last year's Dunegon Magazines if you can find it. This adventure takes a lot of pre time to run properly but its tons of fun. I ran it as a one-shot and had a lot of success.
