    Best D&D Adventures

    In no particular order: NeMoren's Vault - cute little module which had a great MacGuffin for getting a first level group to work together, had a nice dungeon crawl with a story and could create a base of operations to work out of. Run twice, and different each time. Tomb of Abysthor - read...

    Goodman Games NOT nominated?!?

    I nominated them early doors, and (though late in the day), I thought their seconding had arrived by the cut-off point. :confused:

    Release dates for 11 and 12?

    Given we've barely scratched the surface of Part 1, waiting for Part 12 (whilst irksome) is not a problem. I've enjoyed reasing the adventures to date (always a good sign) and am eagerly anticipating the resolution. I'm content to wait for the Whole Nine Yards version, TYVM. What I want...

    Is There Much Age Difference In Your RPGing Group?

    Youngest 24 Eldest (me) 40. The youngster plays in both groups, so the equation stands!

    PDF Users - how do you print?

    It kind of depends on what I'm printing. For War of the Burning Sky, I've printed out the scenario pages double sided. But for the Combat Stats, I've edited the .rtf file which came with the scenario so that each NPC starts at the top of a page, and printed those out single-sided, so that I...

    Best 3.5 Adventure?

    Necromancer Games' The Grey Citadel (3.0 but easy to convert) was a good mid-level romp. Set in a city on a rocky outcrop over a waterfall, it includes a good mix of role-playing, investigation and dungeon crawling. It's a great setting for games later, as well. The Banewarrens reads well (and...

    What to do when the double-cross is expected?

    Oh yeah - have them jumped when they get back to the dude's place. Just not by him :] If he's a bit on the edge, he's bound to have offended a few other adventuring groups. So, another band have taken him prisoner (he's bound and gagged and tied to a chair, Reservoir Dogs style), and this mob...

    The Scouring of Gate Pass commences

    As promised, I've started a Story Hour for this campaign, it can be found here. It's also linked from my sig. What's there already covers Session One, Session Two is to add. We've not played for a fortnight due to various illnesses, but hoping to pick up again next Wednesday.

    A Kingdom Divided: meomwt's WotBS Story Hour

    Chapter 1, Part 2: Into the Fire New Year’s Day, just after midnight. Drawing her sword, Isobella danced up the stairs. Sylar was behind, loading his crossbow. The others looked at each other in surprise, trying to work out what was happening. As Isobella looked up, she could see a lightly...

    A Kingdom Divided: meomwt's WotBS Story Hour

    Chapter 1, Part 1: Farewell to the Old New Year’s Eve, just before midnight. The Poison Apple Pub was quiet and dark. Only the very observant would have noticed the chinks of light escaping through the cracks in the boards over the windows. Light made by Torrent, a pretty girl with a big axe...

    Board games you own and would recommend

    I'd give a shout out to Lost Empires, a Knizia game of exploration (actually a card game of suit building with some nice tactical choices and a clever delay-the-game-end mechanic), Kill Doctor Lucky (a pre-Cluedo game of assassination, back-stabbing and too-tight hats), and Carcassonne...

    Prefix Ideas

    Eurogames are the Carcassone/ Puerto Rico/ Ticket to Ride style games: great production values, good strategy, generally high replay value. Often also called German games. I'm only guesing, but I suspect Ameritrash is what gets churned out of the US as Snakes & Ladders variants (often with...

    "Out of the Frying Pan" Story Hour Portal Thread (compiled PDFs updated for 2024)

    The link for the zipped .doc copy of Book III doesn't work (either in the opening post or in your signature). :-S As I'm prepping a story-hour for my new campaign, I thought I'd find out how a good'un went (and am surprised to see just how long OOtFP actually is! :eek:).

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: Encounter Design Simplified

    Having had time to sleep on it, I just have one question as to how the XP are divided post-encounter. This is especially important for mixed level parties. For example, RBDM that I am, I have a group consisting of three L3 and two L1 characters. For an average encounter, this brings...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: Encounter Design Simplified

    I don't think Mrs meomwt has ever been called a padawan before...;) And thank you for the hard work in formatting the sheet. It's much appreciated. I'll feed back any comments from either her or myself when she starts to use the system! :)

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder: Encounter Design Simplified

    A curious question: would this point-buy/ set XP award system work as-is for vanilla 3.5 D&D? It might make life easier for a neophyte DM with whom I am working to develop her first set of adventures/ encounters. If not, are there any tweaks I might need to make it work more easily? BTW...

    2008 Best Publisher Nomination Thread (and more!)

    I'd like to nominate Goodman Games. They've shown that there's life in the mega-dungeon with the release of Castle Whiterock, a quality product at a reasonable price (considering what the box contains). They have an entusiastic forum. And they have great customer support. I bought a box-set of...

    How well does ENWorld represent gamers at large?

    Including myself, between the two gaming groups (total 7 persons) I'm part of, and including another 6 or 7 gamers I know, I'm the only one with an account here. 0 to 10% for me, too, then.
