I was a big fan of those Campaign Components articles (I think I have the name right). I really liked Knights, and the Swashbuckling one inspired a campaign. I didn't think the one about spies was quite as inspiring, but the idea was sound. Morrow

I absolutely agree. In this culture undeath would be something to be achieved. Rather than teaching that leading good life will get you rewards in the afterlife, this culture would encourage making something of yourself that would be worth preserving on the mortal plane. I think that the...

I'm going to DM a new campaign starting any day now. I'm using the pantheon from Green Ronin's Book of the Righteous. However, one of the players wants to play a cleric with an, "Undead are people, too," philosophy and BotR doesn't have a god that fills that slot. In fact the BotR gods are...

I'm afraid not, but I hope someone has done the work. This one has it all: creepy swamp setting, interesting mystery, off-beat hook. Beware the wrath of the geriatric heroes! Morrow

Cool! I want to play in Nisarg's campaign. It's been almost ten years since my last Known World campaign. Morrow

I planned to run this one as part of a Mystara campaign, but never made it. Adventures in Blackmoor is an interesting variation on the site based adventure, you explore the Blackmoor Comeback Inn in (at least) three different eras. The inn is an interesting location and the backstory is...

I agree. Having a weak character for a while doesn't really balance having an uber powerful character later. Its just unsatisfying both before and after. When I thought about it I realized that I was still coming at the problem using the Crypt Lord as a model. While the Crypt Lord is long...

Zombies are the coolest thing there is. Zombies eat brains. Mind Flayers eat brains. Therefore Mind Flayers are cool. Morrow

Maybe I'm aproaching this the wrong way. Perhaps, rather than having a prestige class that leads up to lichdom, what I need is a prestige class that more closely resembles a monster class. The requirements for the prestige class might look something like: LICH ASPIRANT Requirements: To...

I have a player who wants to play a cleric interested in the undead. Part of the cleric's faith is that undeath is a higher state of being. It seems logical that the cleric will try to become a lich at some point. I'd like to make the character jump through some hoops in the form of a...

Congratulations! I'm planning to be there, so I'll definately search you out. Morrow

Someday I'd like to run a campaign that begins with the party finding a Deck of Many Things. The entire campaign would be driven by the characters having to deal with the consequences of drawing from the deck. When the party is done reclaiming souls, securing keeps, saving friends from hell...

When Dugeon released stats for Warduke, I knew I had to stat up Kelek and Zarak to be his partners in crime. Haven't gotten around to it yet, but some day soon players everywhere will rue the day they mocked the 80's D&D villains. Morrow

SPOILERS for Maiden Voyage and Dead Man's Quest below! You have been warned. Okay, inspired by Crothian's thread, let's talk a little about story. First, why do I want to use material from these two adventures to begin the campaign? Maiden Voyage The crew of the Albers is interesting and...

I'd like to encourage PCs to craft their own items, but short of saying, "Hey, this item crafting feat is really cool! You should take this one," what can you do? Talking to other players the problem seems to be that people don't want to burn a feat. They wouldn't mind the gp or xp cost, or...

Fair enough, maybe the Eyes of the Sea Dragon should be carvings of some sort or some object that derives little value from the material it is made from. I like your idea to keep Ned Fletcher around. Perhaps he should haunt Harrimast's temple. Morrow

In about a month I'll begin DMing a new campaign set in Freeport. I intend to use Atlas' Maiden Voyage, perhaps coupled with Dead Man's Quest from Dungeon #107 as the introductory adventure. Please share your experiences with either adventure and suggest any improvements that I should make...

Who would have believed it? This long delayed game is actually going to happen. New recruits welcome. Morrow

Kobolds and gnomes have been involved in a genocidal conflict for generations. The gnomes are losing. Most gnomish settlements have been destroyed or occupied by kobold forces. Most major cities house small groups of gnomish refugees. Kobold spiritual life is built around the belief kobolds...

I disagree. Every feat is currently formated like this: Hypersmurf and company have just demonstrated that between the "Prerequisite" and "Benefit" lines, there should be an "Action" line which clearly states what kind of action it is to use the feat. Otherwise, we're forced to parse the...
