I would have loved a course in adventure writing. . . Or any course on RPG's would have been awesome at University.

I guess one of the main things is playtesting. Adventures should have some playtesting to (this is the reason 'The Sanctum of the Fiery Ladder' was released as an open playtest) but this is less critical then for rules design. I've actually begun designing a simple freeform superheroes RPG and...

Hmmm. Well first I'll admit that I am hardly a prolific adventure reader, especially if I ignore all the Dungeon articles I've read. That being said there are some elements I'll mention about a couple adventures that I find good and bad. In the Belly of the Beast (by Mike Mearls, a 3.0...

Thanks :o, and your quiet right about the hazard of mentioning grammar, spelling etc.

Five things I learned writing a competition-winning Adventure Back in June, I won the Summer 6d6 Fireball Adventure Writing Competition. Since then, I have spent a fair bit of time mulling things over and learning some new things as well. So here are a few tips and thoughts on the process, and...

Simplicity and Diversity To me this really sums it up. Generally I prefer simplicity in the rules because I think it is the story, or rather the setting, the events and how the characters chose to interact with them that is the most interesting point. Still that does limit diversity to...

The second one is pretty great. I've had that feeling on multiple occaisions. ;)

marcobravo - I will send you an email :) I should mention for anyone else who might be interested that I don't have the 4e books. I havn't really given it a fair chance but from what I have heard it doesn't seem to be something that appeals strongly to me. (At least as a DM.) I've run a fair...

Well . . . I am trying to kickstart a 1st edition game. Maybe not qite what your looking for, but then again maybe it warrants some more discussion? Let me know. (The easiest way is probably to drop me a Private Message, or an email by clicking on my profile :)). You may want to know the most...

It seems rather odd to me that they would chose to redo a adventure that had already been done in C&C given how close it and AD&D are. But then I suppose it could have made the changes easier.

Gotta say that the support for men in kilts and 'unbifurcated' garments on Garb the World and Kiltmen.com are really awesome. I feel so repressed. I'm actually being serious here.

Well I am still lurking around and would be happy to pick things up again if you are up to it. Some of you fine folks have been playing this game for over a year know. That's pretty impressive. I'll have been involved for a year if we make it to November. :)

It totally was me. That's pretty awesome. We didn't even realize it! I believe you actually spelled it Unger on the character sheet by the way ;). There wasn't that much left on the isle that you hadn't an idea of. There was a trio of medusae with a 'pet' gorgon. Which are extremely deadly in...

I know. Seems we got the info in to late to be on the official schedule. Ah well. Maybe I'll see you at table 7.

I'm going to be running an OSRICTM adventure Stone Giant's Isle A First Edition Fantasy adventure for character levels 6-9. A colossal stone figure dominates the cliffs of this isle, giving its name. The place has been shunned for centuries as ships either disappear or turn up near its waters...

If you can't use a cliché starting for a group of brand new players who can you possibly use them on? I love having new players because you can fall back on the old reliable clichés and its brand new to them!

Thanks for the link. Anyone know if there is a method to pre-register for specific games. The other relevant schedule link for RPGs is here. Unfortunately my 1e/OSRIC game is not on the schedule, guess we got in the details to late. Not sure if they'll update it. When I find out the details...

Hmmm, haven't heard of it and googling it results in nothing. It would be a confusing name to pick for a con as there is a Palladium RPG book company . . . There's the Playdium out in Mississuaga that's a arcade/kids fun place. In terms of other con's (that aren't really in the Toronto area . ...

Dacen rushes as quickly as he can towards the leader, moving in barehanded for a grapple (first thing next round). Init (1d20+2=20) I believe he can get next to the leader in a move action if adjusted by 5ft first. Note Dacen has improved unarmed strike. Dacen HP: 12 Current: 12...

Sorry, Dacen did give back the sword, the purpose of course was so that Norim would have a magic weapon!
