It's a lot of work to build a brand new level 3 solo that resembles an undead dragon. If you're interested in using the undead dragon in an encounter with allies, there's a few existing zombies you could reskin. Corruption Corpse (Level 4 Artillery) goes down well at the table. Just say its...

Wow. I do love BECMI (and 4e). I just said so in another thread. Is there really a correlation between fans of BECMI and 4e fans? Is there a similar correlation between haters of the two?

The point is, the party came back online and finished the AP. In Thunderspire Labyrinth they picked up one of the hooks I threw in which led them afterward to the Oasis of the Golden Peacock (from Dungeon magazine) and then on to some zany hijinks in an old colony of Arkhosia. I ended up...

You'd be surprised how poorly I speak, given I write fairly well (in my opinion anyway). I haven't been well-spoken since I started high school. After school it was over a decade of construction, then infantry. Now I'm doing something a bit more cerebral, including verbal briefing, and I'm...

Next you'll be telling the Americans it's "couldn't care less"...

Excellent point. The power curve is at least as important as the rate of advancement.

I can in the sense that it still 'runs' in the background. Especially a world-shaker like that, it can be fun having the repurcussions get all up in the PCs' business.

Depends how you run them. I recently finished the WotC AP and my group 'came off the rails' a few times. I was happy with that and was more than prepared to ditch the AP and write up one of the other plot hooks if the players ran with it, but end-of-the-world hooks have a way of grabbing most...

Firstly, Gladiator isn't exaclty a new movie - in a few hours it will be ten years old. Secondly, two examples don't make a trend. While I agree with you, and James Bond seems to support the trend (as do the Die Hard films), comic books would appear to defy this trend, if it does exist.

It depends who you ask.

Are you saying your game is a sandbox, where your players have the illusion of being railroaded? So much awesome.

Wrong forum mate. This one's for arguing the definition of 'sandbox'.

We were hoping the world had forgotten about it.

I'm no hardcore gamer, which is probably why I can't name any for you. I believe RedBrick Limited are based in New Zealand, which is where all famous Australians come from.

Mine's a railbox (or a sandroad, I haven't decided yet). The players are free to do as they please and ignore every plot hook, and I'll just come up with more (or at least, reskin old ones). But I like epic stories so I tend to throw plot hooks at them that they can't ignore. That said, my...

Actually that's exactly what the OP was asking. The original post is branched from another thread where I asked the question myself and another poster answered that he didn't know either. Here: Hence the question of where the line is drawn. Where exactly do we stop generalising and start...

Just because you're continually avoiding it doesn't make it an innocuous question. And it will become extremely relevant the next time somebody is told their game is NOT A SANDBOX. Unless that thinking has been put to bed by all this.

Yeah well, now we all have.

I think each edition has been an evolution of previous editions in response to the market/community. I've been playing D&D since 1985 and it's always felt tlike D&D to me. I didn't like 2e as much as BECMI but I felt 3e was the best edition at that point as is 4e right now. I have high hopes...

I think "never" is a fallacy given the current (and some would say previous) editions of the game.
