Unfortunately, my favorite ideas are already covered in your party. I'd like to see a kalashtar psion and a changeling rogue running a detective- er, inquisitives agency. The changeling is an inquisitive who (of course) specializes in disguise, infiltration, and social skills. The kalashatar...

I've run Castle Amber twice and would do it again in a heartbeat. It is great fun. Highlights include: *The ghostly banquet. *The indoor forest, especially the squirrels with their golden acorns. *The whole Averoigne sequence. My only criticism is that Castle Amber, like many of the site...

I'm preparing to run a Freeport campaign in a couple months. Freeport means pirates. Pirates mean pirate ships. Pirate ships require cool names. Give me your best pirate ship names. Go. Morrow

These are some interesting responses, but I'm not entirely sure they're representative. Dissatisfaction with Your Gaming Group? and similar threads on these boards leave me with the impression that there is a significant percentage of gamers out there with pet peves that will kill their...

This question is sort of inspired by this thread. So you have the opportunity to join a new game, but you don't know a lot about the DM or the other players. Maybe you know a couple players, but have never gamed with them. Maybe you've seen the DM as a player, but never as a DM. Maybe you...

Ah, I remember the Forest Oracle, the only session of AD&D I ever DMed. (Until 3e I was almost exclusively an oD&D man.) We were in junior high, which is probably sufficient to explain everything that happened. The DM didn't show up that night, so I ran the Forest Oracle. I must have just...

Some more detail on the adventures would be appreciated. I'm trying to decide whether or not to pick up this issue. Note to Paizo- Sending out subscription reminders is very helpful, but only if you send them out before the subscription expires, rather than a couple weeks after. (You're all...

I think you're right, when I think of Wulf's story hour I don't think of the later stories where the power level really cranked up to 11. I think of the peck. Granted, I think of him with disgust and contempt, but I do think of him. It's a shame to lose Dorn though. Now I'll grant you he's...

I'd like to run a swashbuckling pirate game set in Freeport. Actually, if the player's come together like I expect I'll be able to run that game in the Spring. Poor little pirates. They'd like to spend all their time sailing the seven seas, raiding ports, seizing ships, and wooing women...

As a DM I try to give the PCs plenty of opportunities to use their abilities. Everyone should be able to say, "Boy, isn't it lucky that I'm playing a druid?" every once in a while. However, I've always had trouble with low level bards. Now don't get me wrong, inspire courage can really save a...

I nominate Hong for a 3 Charisma- but he's got lots of ranks in bluff! :p Morrow *Running for cover.*

Campaign Components: Swashbucklers from Dragon #301 is a great reference to give players for a swashbuckling game. Its full of information about the swashbuckling feel and has a large section of character concepts that are sure to inspire your players' imaginations. Morrow

Avast Ye! Go on account with Cap'n Drak and he'll make sailors of every last one of you landlubbers.

Harrimast is actually rather problematic even within the context of the rest of the Freeport material. If I'm remembering correctly, according to the background published in the EN World Player's Journal (#4, I think), Harrimast started out as a mortal. He encountered Yarash, who was some kind...

I don't think I agree. While the Unspeakable One might be easy to treat like one of the Eberron cults, Harrimast and Yarash are a different story. In Black Sails Over Freeport they both take very active rolls both in the adventure and in the history of Freeport. However (trying to solve my...

Swashbuckling in Freeport “Freeport is a city of pirates and desperate characters, of violence and intrigue, of cherished hopes and broken dreams. On its streets you’ll find amazing wealth and grinding poverty, benevolent priests and black-hearted cultists, honest merchants and two-timing...

In many ways placing Eberron in Freeport would work well. They both lend themselves to a swashbuckling feel and Freeport's history would easily dovetail with the Eberron timeline. Perhaps the biggest drawback to inserting Freeport in Eberron is with the gods. Freeport prominently features...

My wife hasn't played any rpgs since long before we met, but recently she has become interested again. She has been encouraging me to start a new campaign, and wants to play. Morrow

Darn. I wish you were farther north. I'd love to get in on a new Eberron game. Oh well, such is life. Good luck picking up some players. Morrow

Spoilers! Does that help? Morrow
