Guillotine is the bomb. It's fairly simple. You wouldn't think that it would be good for repeated play, but I just keep playing it. I've got to get Stormwrack and some Angelfire Minis. The minis look great. I'd better get some outsiders this time, I never got any from Archfiends. I don't...

The Competition In the last session our heroes visited the Dented Helm, a tavern near the Docks, and met three members of a rival adventuring band. The group had been well known recently for wiping out a tribe of kobolds living at the northern end of A'Val. They were accompanied by Erky...

I started with 'red box' basic D&D and the expert, companion, and master boxes that followed. The Rules Cyclopedia was a godsend. With the exception of a brief, lamentable period as a player in a AD&D 2nd edition campaign in junior high, I bypassed AD&D entirely. I switched to 3e when it came...

I've never played a prestige class, but that's more a function of not having played enough different characters rather than any dislike for prestige classes. In fact I like prestige classes quite a lot. Clearly they aren't all created equal, but there's some really fun stuff out there. Morrow

Howdy Spider! Sorry about the recent silence. My xp bribes proved insufficient to get the players to write up the last session, and we gamed again last night so now I'm way behind. I'm going to email the players. If they don't intend to write something up I'll get us caught up this week and...

Wasn't there a mob template in one of the Shackled City adventures in Dungeon? Is this the same one? Morrow

Pack up boys! We're going to the City of Aluminum to battle the Foil Folk. :lol: Morrow

Oh, It is absolutely possible. It just takes hard work and determination. As we speak I've got a crack team of designers chained up in my basement working on the next Phantom Fungus. ...What? Morrow

Ha! Crystal. How'd I miss that? Thanks Nail. Morrow

Haven't read the blog yet, but... Threads like these make me feel secure in my decision to dislike all people everywhere regardless of their political affiliation. Come on now, the man posted a link to his blog. He didn't kick your dog, lure your daughter into a life of drugs and hedonism, or...

Please refresh my memory. Biff the stable boy gets killed and turned into a corporeal undead, maybe a zombie or ghoul. Jimmy the cleric comes along and smashes the undead monstrosity with his mace. Assuming that the body is in reasonably good repair can Jimmy cast raise dead and get back his...

Here's an NPC for your fun and enjoyment. Cole is an ex-monk and soon to be drunken master who the party watched demonstrate his skills during a competition at Swagfest. He soundly defeated his opponent and then stumbled off in search of more wine. The party hasn't even spoken to him yet, but...

Lastest Session In the latest session they party took part in Swagfest, Freeport's annual festival commemorating the Great Raid. I used Holiday in the Sun the short adventure by Chris Pramas found in the Focus on Freeport section of the Green Ronin website. It was a bit of a surprise to me...

I'm not entirely clear on those legacy feats. The way the section is worded it looks like you get those as bonus feats. As for the advancement costs, I think they make a lot of sense. You get a lot of abilities as the weapon advances. If it was layed out as a prestige class (like those in...

In Swashbuckling in Freeport the party has just arrived in the city. They retrieved the Eye of the Sea Dragon from a band of sahuagin, alluded it's curse, and delivered the Eye to the Temple of Harrimast (God of Pirates) in Freeport. They've had a month of downtime to drink, shop, gather...

The problem is, of course, the competing needs of the minis-for-the-mini-game and minis-for-D&D crowds. As a minis-for-D&D guy I have to say that some of the choices for commons have been great, particularly the humanoids (orcs, goblins, kobolds), animals (wolves, bears, dire weasels, dire...

After a short hiatus Swashbuckling in Freeport returns on Friday. I sent the following to the players to remind them what the PCs had been up to during their month of downtime. At the end of the last session the party returned the Eye of the Sea Dragon to Peg-Leg Peligro, the high priest of...
