Agreed. That preview is really buried. I kept wondering what everyone was talking about. As for the dusklings, I don't think they're all that bad and I could see myself using them. I really don't see them as "elves," but I definitely get the wild-feyish vibe the designers intended. However...

Glad to be of service! :D And actually, I was just looking at the preview of Dragon #336 again and realized the "Haunted Houses" article might be used in a similar way that you suggested. Yeah, yeah, I know I said no undead in my first post, but this might be too cool to pass up.

Monkeynova! You gave me a horrible, yet wonderful idea! MIMIC!

Being female, I'm not sure the term "dork" really applies to me. :heh:

OK, I have some other ideas I've been thinking about. The setting of the game is 19th century Earth (well, an alternate Earth with magic and monsters). The wreck would be located in the Mediterranean Sea, near Elba. Some possible ships/cargo: 1. A ship sunk during the Napoleonic Wars 2. A...

Just FYI, here's a thread on this subject here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=146532

Maverick - that's really neat! It solves some problems while creating others. :] And coincidentally, it fits in with another story idea I had (actually, part of the meta-plot).

Sure! And actually, I got the name wrong - it's actually "Dehydrated module." :D http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=129566 These were started by alsih2o; basically, it is a group of pictures, maps, articles, etc. (not necessarily monsters or complete plots) to use as inspiration for an...

I didn't want to put any exact details in the title because some of my players frequent these boards. I trust they will stay out. :) On a lark, I had one of my players create a treasure map. His character is from Atlantis and from his travels before meeting the rest of the party, he found the...

It's the setting of the novels of China Mieville (Perdido Street Station, The Scar, Iron Council). edit: I remembered vaguely that someone had mentioned there was going to be an article about this in Dragon at some point. I may have gotten it mixed up with something else though.

I am intrigued by the basic idea. Part of the problem, though, is that I hear about an interesting idea from a particular book or company ( just the basic concept mind you, no rules or anything like that) and so often I'm disappointed about how it works in practice. Some of the feats presented...

We don't have a set time to start or end, as it depends on everyone's schedule. Personally, I don't like to go too late because I'm not a night owl and I tend to get cranky past 11:00 pm. Also, we're adult folks with relationships, jobs and other committments, plus some of us live a good hour or...

errr...um.... :confused:

I don't award xps based on CR, though I still use that as a gauge for an appropriate (combat) challenge. I also don't give out xps every session. When I do give out xps, it is only at certain times during the campaign where it makes sense to me to do so - after an adventure is completed, for...

Amen to that. I still buy a whole lot of PDFs (since they take up a lot less space and tend to be cheaper), but as for bound books, I read as much about a potential purchase as I can (previews, reviews, etc.) before I buy.

YAY! Ecology of the Shadar-Kai - that should be interesting! Now I can't wait for 337. :( Say, whatever happened to that article about playing in the world of Bas Lag? Did I miss that?

Jack, you have my vote - and bonus points for using a Barenaked Ladies song. :D

Sheesh, you make it sound so...tawdry. :uhoh: ;)

ewwwww....I'm so glad we just assume a normal level of hygiene in our games. :uhoh: There are a few people in our group who care about what their characters wear. It doesn't come into play every session, but we have had NPCs consult with a PC due to her fashion sense. :D I also run a game...

YAY! Amy/Sandor! :)
