I have two methods of dealing with this problem... 1. I rip something off, preferably something my players know (such as setting a post-apocalyptic campaign in Fall Out 3 land or similar) 2. I start the campaign from the point of view that the characters are starting somewhere new, so they...

my favorite kinds of campaigns to write/run are mysteries. Something I have learned from experience is that you can't write a mystery campaign like you would a movie/book/story. As soon as tracks turn into footprints or they find shredded clothes the players will figure out your mystery and...

True, it's because I don't wash much The poster below me is giving me a strange look, but doesn't have to worry because I am only admiring the shape of his skull

I was researching pirate culture awhile back and found The Republic of Pirates: Being the True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down by Colin Woodard to be awesome. It was about pirate history, everyday life, why they chose that life, and how they...

whoops, hit the button twice.

God this sounds cool, I am very interested to see how this turns out. You should post a brief description of what the players discover, how they react, and what they think is going on for each session.

I just went to GenCon for the first time last year. Here is what I learned. I found the event thing a little daunting, so I just wandered around looking for pick up games. It wasn't until after I got home I looked through the event list a little more and found that several games I liked had...

I, for one, would like to think he uses a regular 20 sided dice, with the 20 facing up, and rolls the world.

Ok, added in some fixes Come on guys, lets hear some more powers, my mortal mind cannot transcribe the Sheen alone

Tiger Blood

explosions that throw people around the battlefield for pirate era, run a chase sequence through a city, but have the combatants be in carts pulled by horses. I've done it a few times, it was cool

Ya, but did you see the hot goth chicks at their booth at last years gencon? I would travel a fair distance just to have her judge me an inadequate and socially inept man-boy.

A friend of mine came up with the phrase Invoke The Hojo in highschool. I will give you it's definition by example: When you have a very busy day planned at work the next day, but you stay up all night droppin acid (or similar) and not only don't go to work, but call in trippin balls with an...

I made a very cool eladrin warlord/wizard. I focused on healing and damage. It's been a year since I played 4e so forgive me for not remembering the terms I stood back a bit using my area wizard attacks (damage mostly) i took the warlord at will that let me push a guy my int mod spaces, so if...

I had this problem all the time when I played 4e, so I made this table. It shows the xp totals for parties from 2 to 10 pcs from levels 1 - 30 (after level 10 I only did the numbers for parties of 4, 5 and 6 PC's, so you will have to fill in those gaps). Using this table I could pretty easily...

This module does have some serious problems (as others have stated), however, I have played through it twice and it has a very fond place in my heart. It is very difficult, which is what we liked about it. We don't always play hardcore adventures, but this module is set up like a gauntlet, and...

Ya, cuz no one in the real non-magical world would ever pay decent money for pearls... wait

Quick post: switched to 4e, didn't like it after awhile, tried to go back to pathfinder, but after playing 4e combats I am in love with all the tactical movement and positioning, and since pathfinder stuck with the old "full round action to make multiple attacks" thing I just can't have fun...

What your saying is entirely true, but as a person who has played D&D for 20 years and 3 editions I have to say that over time the game has moved more in a direction where it doesn't promote that kind of thinking. When I read the 4e players handbook what I hear about the rules is, "here is a...
