    D&D 4E In Defense of 4E - a New Campaign Perspective

    Combats Take Forever I only found this when we started playing 4E. As we got to know the rules, and players got to know what their characters can do, things sped up. I'd add that , as a DM you have know how to finish combat early to avoid grind. You Can't Roleplay I found that the combat is...

    Main Difficulties in Hosting Local Games (GMs)?

    I've been running a game at my house every other weekend for over ten years now. And I think can could answer yes to all of the choices. But the biggest problem is finding players near enough. There are players but most don't want to travel more than 20 to 30 mins tops.

    ZEITGEIST [Spoilers] Down with the Cow

    I had exactly the same situation. And resolved it with letting one of the PCs instigate a plot against Shantus. But before it got anywhere the assassination happened.

    Capture scenario?

    I've done two one with 3rd ed DnD and one with 4th ed DnD. Both went pretty well. The 3rd ed one the party woke up in a prison, and we did a prison break. Which went really well. The 4th ed one was a little harder. Mainly avoiding player panic that they have been captured. And they should wait...

    Help me make a banshee encounter interesting.

    I'd go with. The banshee has information the party need probably about the hideout. A banshee can detect life and fly, so its really hard to get close to if the banshee doesn't want to. Why did the attackers want to capture her? And who is the Elf Maiden? Can you link either to hideout location ?

    How Many Encounters in an Adventure?

    For the adventures I wrote myself. I usually tried to aim at leveling up around every three sessions. And each session would vary from 0 to 4 combat encounters. Which averaged out to about 6 combat encounters per level. Adventures tended to run around 3 combat encounters. However that...

    DM Writer's Block: Would like Suggestions

    I'd have the mayor try and arrest the party for murder of the Tiefling. With the Mayor a little overeager to have the party killed. This can lead to a fight, trial or the party running. If they run you can have the mayor form a posse and chase them. Or just let them go and they can pursue other...

    What would make a stne giants’ castle special

    I'd say rather than a castle make it a fortress on the side of a mountain, or maybe underneath a spur. Maybe some towers at odd angles with various weapons. Main entrance is underneath so they can drop rocks on anybody they don't like the look of. And maybe a secondary way in through the mountain.

    What would make a stne giants’ castle special

    I'd start with things that Stone giants can do that Humans can't. So things like rock fall traps, or traps involving stone. Pits a giant could walk over to avoid, but are too big for humans. Where would a stone giant build a castle, got to be a mountain top. So how do you get to it? How would...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist plot question

    The party is at the stage where they are making sudden plot leaps, with a small amount of information. For instance I had one player asking a large amount of questions about teleporting and planer travel. After Delft arrived and threw up. And I have no idea what the player is thinking of going...

    ZEITGEIST Zeitgeist plot question

    We have just started Diaspora. And the party has captured Hans Jierre and believe Stanfield is a spy for Pemberton. I think I've headed off any immediate issues, the party are heading for Elfivar rather than going after Stanfield. I can start Last Starry night with them going after Stanfield...
