Do you, as a GM, ever regret not doing something cool, and then come up with an idea after it's too late? That's a rhetorical question, of course you do. That's been bugging me a lot lately. As a working adult (as many of us are), I struggle to find the time to just flesh out one adventure...

So, yes, the title is intended to be click-bait. But not really. I'm running a campaign centered around the Rod of Seven Parts, and the "powers" generally ascribed to the Rod (flying, summoning air elementals, etc.) are all very nice, but ultimately weak. In fact, the entire story is lame...

My version is very similar (since both are mostly copied from the 2nd edition boxed set), but I'm leaning heavily towards modifying mine so that the wielder ends up becoming a menace to society. Something akin to a fascist dictator, or something like that. Something where he can really wreck...

I had considered something kind of like that, although something Al-Qadim-esque might be a bit too exotic for my meager GM'ing capabilities. I had thought that putting it in the middle of the City State of the Invincible Overlord (from the Wilderlands) would be rather interesting.

I'm running my players through the Rod of 7 Parts. The 2nd edition boxed set, you ask? No, not really. Thematically, I guess it's close. But I'm taking some of the very loose ideas from that boxed set, and using them. The players are currently on an island tracking down the 3rd piece, which is...

So, in today's game, I found a great way to lighten the pockets of my PCs: Send them to a slave auction. lol Long story short: My players were trying to get to island A, but ended up (through no fault of their own) on island B, which happened to be known as "Slaver's Bay" - a sort of hive of...

Ooh, plot twist. I like it. Or maybe, whatever it is they're digging up is creating the disease. So, the island didn't start out that way, but is slowly becoming that way. That's interesting. Yes, the cleric is a LN cleric of Kelemvor, but has also taken up the mantle of Amaunator. IMC, it was...

Looking for some ideas on this. The seed of this came from Mystic Eye Games' Foul Locales: Beyond the Walls, from a scenario called "Colony of the Afflicted". I'm not really using it as written, just stealing the basic idea. My party is headed there to retrieve the next piece of the Rod of...

In my campaign, the PCs will need to find a boat east. I intend to make this hard (given their current out of the way location), but the nearest city might have a ship that is a slave ship which, for the right price, will agree to take them east. They might definitely figure out that the ship is...

I recall having a big discussion about "I'd buy that for a dollar!" (Robocop). Otherwise, it really varies. Bert and Ernie's "Here fishy, fishy, fishy!" occupied quite a bit of time one game. Yea, we're old. Monty Python shows up from time to time. But for us, it's song lyrics. SO MANY song...

Thanks! I fixed it. That explains why the file was so small.

Only 8 views? I spend two weeks working up a module and it gets 8 views? Come on, people - at least download the bloody thing!

Some of you may know of the "Collaborative Cave". It was a blatant ripoff of CMG's "Cooperative Dungeon". Essentially, I designed a cavernous "lair" of some sort, and people took individual rooms, creating something truly interesting. The first Collaborative Cave was a Green Dragon's Lair -...

I was prompted with this poll by looking at all the tables in the DMG, and I recall (MANY moons) ago, our GM rolling for stuff, and we'd get all excited to see what he came up with. Sometimes, he'd roll really high, and we'd get something really odd, but often we'd roll some weapon or something...

I know. I wasn't sure if D&D was the only game that had random treasure tables in it. I was certain others had that as well.

The worst for me was probably a really, really railroady GM who happened to have a Doctorate in Psychology. He could literally manipulate us into going exactly where he wanted us to go, and doing exactly what he wanted us to do. Once we finally clued in on this, it seemed we were completely...

It's a simple question, really. Do you roll for a treasure? Or do you hand-pick what you put in your dungeons (etc.)?

So, this encounter should be tough. But there's literally more to come in the dungeon, so I don't want to wipe them out, obviously. But from a terrain perspective, they're in an underground river. So, they are swimming in a cave, essentially. The river opens up to an area choked with vines and...
