    Plot-Artifacts - Five Rings

    Excellent point... I did discuss especially the magical element with the Ranger. He brought up the feeling that he felt sort of like we could both use an arcane character and that he half-wanted to play a controller. I discussed with him the prospects of a future gameplay element that would...

    Plot-Artifacts - Five Rings

    As part of the plot there are five rings of an ancient order that must be collected on their way toward the final battle. Early in Paragon, they will begin to grab these rings that they are individually destined to have. I only have four characters and the fifth ring is the betrayer of the order...

    Good times under the Dark Sun

    The DS campaign I DM'd was fantastic... we had players go in and out but two stayed the whole way. We got to a big turning point and then couldn't pick it back up and then 4E came out. I'm really hoping to rejoin that world. I invented 2 "new" cities that were slightly smaller and...

    Solo Adventure Scenario in Dungeon!

    I totally misunderstood what this adventure would be about... I expected 1 DM 1 solo player. Dang! Well I can't wait to give it a try...

    Dark Awakening (solo adventure)

    Doh, sorry! Heading over to that thread now... I encourage everyone else to do the same.

    Dark Awakening (solo adventure)

    Just saw that Dark Awakening was up. Interesting idea, and I think it's a good choice to put it in Dragon. They also did us a good one by including a PDF of all that is needed to play - maps, counters, etc. (without reading it too much) It seems like a good effort toward getting folks into the...

    Why I am giving up on Scales of War

    I try to get one "adventure" (read: scales of war single-issue adventure) done every 4 sessions. Sometimes I go over and sometimes under, but overall I think we've got some good pacing. I try to keep a lot of the more NPC/rp into email/wave and pick out the most exciting encounters. If there's...

    Debut: Ardent

    I still am not digging the "halo" art at all. I also sort of think that Tiefling looks significantly more primal than he does psionic - and reading that Ardents are the closest psionic class to the divine power source, that kind of threw me a bit, too. Other than the halo though, cool picture.

    Debut: Ardent

    I didn't see a thread, but if I remember correctly this was not on the calendar before. Now it's listed as the 15th. Psionic Leader was the speculation, I think... it'll be interesting to see what this one is like!

    Musing of an Epic Virgin

    I too enjoy your comments. Yes... I think I've resolved after reading a lot about epic play two different things 1) It sounds very interesting! and 2) I'm not necessarily sure it will fit my campaign as easily. As it stands I have stuff planned through ~22, but I'm worried I haven't laid...

    Winning races:tiefling is up

    I agree with the power's strength... I wonder if it'd be more balanced if it was JUST the daily and not combined with the other power?

    Winning races:tiefling is up

    Yeah some of those racial powers are interesting... and the replacement feat that replaces infernal wrath is pretty crazy... while I can see other feats being taken over it early on I think by level 10 it'll be pretty high on the list. I've always sort of disliked Infernal Wrath comparatively, I...

    Greatest Villain Every

    He even saved Sue when Mr. Fantastic & Co could not... simply saved her so as long as Mr. Fantastic was alive he would know his wife only was there because of Doom, as a constant reminder that he couldn't save her and had to turn to his enemy for help. Man. That's rough.

    Greatest Villain Every

    Voldemort 1) Track record: Nearly took over the world, killed countless wizards, and developed probably the largest evil following in recent history. 2) Success rate: It takes a while, but comes back and subversively regains control and causes the ministry to fall. Many plotlines seem to work...

    More Dark SUn tidbits by Rich Baker

    This was my criticism. When I ran it, the NPCs were vital and used a ritual that actually split Kalak into several lower-level mirrors of himself and I had the PCs involved in the crucial fight. If players aren't directly involved in Kalak's fall as part of an adventure, I don't mind seeing Tyr...

    Dark Sun Cover Poll

    Mmmm brom artwork! Someone here also posted a link to a guy with a bunch of darksun concept art. Good stuff, good flavor. I just hope that we don't get Core/FR/Ebb artwork with a muted tone. There was something about the original artwork for dark sun that made me flip through the books and...

    Darksun titles are now in the WotC product catalog

    Yeah, I think the really good settings let the DM figure out what the secrets are. The speculation about what the mourning was all about or the prophecy would be known to any character in the setting anyway. It's up to the DM to come up with the "answer" if that's the part of the setting that...

    Darksun titles are now in the WotC product catalog

    Yeah this is pretty concerning... I'd love to hear Rodney chime in about this... So I guess we can figure... [Player's Guide - (CG Redundant Material + Full Class)] + [Campaign Guide - (Monster Stats)] Does that equal 224 pages? I can also see creature catalog: ...as having more room for...

    Anyone interested in this

    MapTool is open source and some of the most useful additions late in this version cycle have all been contributed patches. Now, I understand it isn't 100% control, but still something to consider. Even if you aren't interested in "joining up" - which I expect is so since you're so far along -...

    More Dark SUn tidbits by Rich Baker

    Woah, good stuff there. Definitely has captured the feel in some of that art. If they can't chain up brom... they should have a look.
