You're the DM. You're doing it right. I've never worried about the wealth by party levels thing in my campaigns, and they seem to have worked out OK. Characters haven't been overpowered, I don't neccessarily have "Magic Shops" (except for potions and the like) and the players have been able to...

Here's another problem for the maths-heads. Tunnels & Trolls used an open-ended rolling system for saving throws. Roll 2d6, if you got a double (any double, even snake-eyes), you got to roll again and add the two rolls together. And as long as you rolled doubles, you could carry on rolling...

MonsterForge is a great utility for enhancing monsters. Up their Hit Dice, and it will allow you to increase Abilities, Skills, Feats, etc., to improve the Monster. Pump 'em up enough HD and their CR rises too :] Enjoy!

I've been the primary DM for our group for a while. I've run one long 3.5 game and one which died after about 17 sessions due to player compatability problems. Now we have the following situation: we have a weekly Wednesday night game, I'm primary DM for that (War of the Burning Sky). There's...

The Reviews Section has vanished. I wondered where it had gone and whether it would be back. BTW, Googling ENWorld still brings up a (dead) link to the Reviews Section.

Depends what you want: Mad Irishman has a stack of sheets, whilst HeroForge allows you to enter it all onto a spreadsheet and have the computer do all the maths for you. Then print out and use!

Just a quickie. I'm building a half-elf character for a new game, and was wondering whether making him half-drow should have any mechanical effect on the character, rather than being a background detail for extra RP flavour. All opinions welcomed!

Last night was a blast: after character equipping and spell selection for the Favoured Soul, we got into the start of the adventure. There was some good role-playing from all during the encounter with Torrent, the bounty-hunters made too much noise upstairs and got heard, the door to the...

My War of the Burning Sky Campaign will begin tonight. I'm hoping to keep posting updates in the Story Hour section of ENWorld, though they won't necessarily be the masterpieces that other people churn out, I'm hoping they'll be entertaining enough that people want to read. Apart from my wife...

I'm currently running a RuneQuest Game, but myself and at least two of our group are gunning for a return to D&D. By which I mean 3.5 edition, and I'll be running War of the Burning Sky. I've got plenty other stuff to run until 5th Edition comes out, anyway!

I'm an engineer, BSc Electrical & Electronic Engineering. The more volts there are to work with, the better I feel. I'm 40, my wife is a little younger. Our gaming group currently is us and three 20-somethings. One works as a coffee shop manager, the other two are an unemployed couple who met...

These templates look usable, but the Ranged Minion seems in need of a little love. How about giving him/ her/ it Crit: 20/ x3 so that on a good shot, it will really hurt the PC's and give them something to think about <where's the evil smilie gone, then?>

I’ve been running a RuneQuest game for a little while (long story), however there are one or two in the group who’d like to wrap things up and get back to playing D&D 3.5. The campaign has been revolving round the incursion of the Lunar Empire into the PC’s homelands. The original intent in...

I'd use HeroForge. It's a free Excel spreadsheet for PC generation, but makes classed enemy creation a breeze. And you can print out stat blocks rather than a full sheet if you wish. On the same hosting site is Monster Forge, with which you can advance monsters (adding HD, Feats, Special...

I spent four good days there: as others have said, it was a bit too spread around the campus, so focus and cohesion got a bit lost (it was also a bit if a trek from RPG room to get something to eat between slots if the early one over-ran, but that's another story). Trader's Hall seemed busy...

For a flavour of how The Grey Citadel plays, check out my Session Reports for the adventure when I DM'ed it for my group back in 2005 :eek: (I hadn't realised it was that long ago!). Also worth checking out is the (slightly longer) Sparky's Grey Citadel Campaign Log which shows how a...

Shades of Grey from Necromancer Games is a nice little campaign book - runs from levels 1 to 12. Details a quest to discover the source of a magical disease, and retrieval of an item to create a cure for it. The campiagn has some non-linear elements (Players can choose which items to go for and...

Superb stuff! I love seeing how other people run campaigns. Loved the BBEG stats in Part 1. Hmm. Maybe I don't need to stat nasties out to the Nth degree... Nah. HeroForge rules! :p

Lost City of Barakus: great setting, great NPC's, some good hooks for getting into the Dungeon in the first place, then BAM the PC's find an ancient evil has been imprisoned in the Lost City and have to find a way to ensure he stays there. DCC #1: The Lost Vault of Tsathar Rho (sp) Novice PC's...

Ah, so it's not just me then. What went wrong with the links being sent out?
