This is cross-posted with Candlekeep: Candlekeep Forum - 4E Rules but 3.5 Realms Flavour For a couple of reasons I want to use the 4E ruleset but keep the pre-Spellplague flavour and fluff intact which means that, inter alia, I need to update the races to better match (IMO) what has appeared...

I knew a girl named Nikki. I guess you could say she was a ... fiend (I think that was a template of some sort). I met her in a hotel lobby, um, reading a magazine. She said, "How'd you like to waste some time", and I could not resist; I blew my Will save. Fortunately, I made all my Reflex...

I've started a thread at Candlekeep asking for help with a similar problem: I want to try the 4E rules but I don't want the 4E version of FR, nor do I want my elves compressed into eladrin and elves- give me more flavour! ;) Here are my first thoughts on elves and half-elves which I have also...

I would suggest Savage Worlds with the free Advanced Dungeons & Savages PDF.

In the main I hate, loathe and detest most gaming fiction and most particularly anything set in the Forgotten Realms (which is otherwise my campaign world of choice)... but the various books by Paul S Kemp are not only great FR stories, they are really well-written. I think you will find he has...

Yep... that rocks. Congratulations on another great piece of work. "SAVED"

Points out that Mork and Mindy contained free-range drivel.

The overwhelming utility of the Compendium has meant that not only am I delighted with my one year subscription I am now determined to start a 4E game. Being able to grab stat blocks from the Compendium is simply going to save me so much time, and I will use a fraction of that time creating the...

I think RttToEE almost got it right. I like my stat blocks on separate pages and I like to be able to read an adventure without it being broken up by pages of stat blocks or having to flip backwards and forwards as happens with the encounter/delve format. When I prepare my own homebrewed...

and NPCs.... I do love the lower prep time and see that as the biggest difference for a DM at least.

This pretty much sums up how I feel. I like hearing about home games and rules development/designer thinking but nothing else.

This is the model I use too. I have a range of NPCs statted up at 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th levels (I never use 3rd, 5th, 7th etc... because there is little real difference anyway). I never use the warrior class (I just don't like it, conceptually) but I do use the expert, aristocrat and fighter...

It also depends on your players. Some are time-wasting spotlight hogs and these sorts of requests are about indulging their inner narcissist at the expense of the other players. Of course, saying yes and then finding a way to kill their character (or even the players) might be the way to go...

Well, considering one of the supposed design goals of FR4E is to make it easier to use as a campaign setting I would argue that it is entirely consistent with that goal for any adventures set around Loudwater to be designed for levels not covered by existing products. Anyway, it's no big deal...

OK, I keep asking about what the overall plot is because I thought you were looking for suggestions for adventures that tie into the plot and make it feel like you're in the Forgotten Realms as opposed to a generic campaign world. So, how about something like this: Introductory Encounter...

Hmmm... what if, instead of having two mirror copies, the stone has an "echo" that was in Abeir. With the return of Abeir now the stone itself has returned. Perhaps the existence of this "echo" stone has diminished the power of the stone in the possession of the Netherese and that is what has...

I was surprised that this was designed for 2nd level. As it stands, the adventure in the FR Campaign Guide will take a party to 2nd level and then they're ready for Sceptre Tower of Spellgard which takes a party to, IIRC, 5th level. I think it would have been better to design this as the next...

My first reaction is that this might be too difficult to pull off. If the Weave and Shadow Weave are recreated have you considered what impact that will have on your Realms and also on the 4E ruleset that you are (presumably) using? Heroic. The group spends ten levels trying to identify the...

I've noticed a couple of things in the products I've read so far: 1. "Aurora" is used instead of "aura". Is this deliberate or just an editing error? If it is deliberate, why? 2. "Bruised" is used several times instead of "bloodied". Deliberate or error?
