I think this year I will re-enact the egg eating scene from Cool Hand Luke--but with Cadbury Creme Eggs. Look for video on YouTube following Easter services! ;)

At the very least, take Skill Focus: Concentration instead. It's not situation-dependent, so the player doesn't have to remember to add it in; while it's "only" +3, it is static on the character sheet.

Probably June.

I will not know for another few weeks if I can make the gameday, so I'd better not plan on running my Call of Cthulhu with the Friends characters as PC game. :( Maybe next time.

Of course, right after the post I made above, I read "The Hawk of Bastri" which also mentions Kane's unfavorable past. At least the film isn't just making stuff up. But I'm still nervous about the screenplay--a sentence or two hint is much different from several scenes in a film. Too bad "The...

I'm just halfway through The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane collection, and the stories are great. The lack of an 'origin story' just makes S.K. that much more interesting. And the origin story for the film sounds awful. Waste of a good cast.

Well, no one's mentioned biblical apocalypse. Just in case there's a chance you might be interested in that angle, I'll mention "The End" (both original--long out of print--and d20 versions). I haven't played it in a while (I ran an on-line game of it a few years ago). But I seem to recall...

I will have to read up on Rhestilor. I didn't know / remember that the Lions of Brindol were descendants of the Rhestilorian army. (It might be in the mod, but there's a lot of info. in there and I am too old to retain all of it. ;) ) Thank Pelor for Google! Now, I'm off to read up on Rhestilor.

Exactly. Hmmm, too late for me to do that. But we play with a house rule of a "feat every level (except stat bump levels)." It was quite fun to alter all the bad guys and add extra feats to them. I gave Koth Two Weapon Fighting, Craft Wand, and Double Wand Wielder. For dragons, I add feats...

I sounds like you're doing just fine, Moon-Lancer. It can be intimidating when you first DM. But if you just play the bad guys appropriately (and it sounds like you are!), then all will be fun. I can't wait til Chapter 3; I think the Ghostlord chapter is awesome. I remember when I played...

I hope you get a chance to run it some day. It was great fun to play, and it's been a lot of fun to run so far. Of course, that is in large part due to my players (who will never see this praise, since they're supposed to stay out of this thread). I even considered bumping up the dragon's...

Well, the dwarven tank was flying, and two of the characters had bows. Ozy did get nicked by the wizard (I think only one spell hit him, but the player rolled poorly for damage and Ozy made his Reflex save to take only 1/2 damage). So (to the dragon anyway), it looked like at least four out of...

Thanks, Mark!

He also attacked the halfling scout, but did no damage. He then decided to retreat for a round to recharge his breath weapon. He did not pursue when the party retreated, because he knew they slew the entire garrison at Vraath Keep (except for Wyrmlord Koth). Ozyrrandion does not want to die...

Good suggestions. Thanks! Thanks. I was really worried about them failing at this point, but I've got to remember that it really just doesn't hurt the party, it just helps the Horde keep to their timeline. They had the gauntlet, so the bonus edged their Diplomacy into a success (barely). Now...

Oh, I think anyone who's not already part of the Red Hand will be sized up as potential allies (typically evil creatures) or enemies to be killed on site (all PHB races and other 'good' races). Certainly Koth told the troops at the bridge to look for a motley crew of do-gooders and kill them on...

I think I'll put a partial map at the bridge camp--something ripped in half. Of course, if they wait too long to destroy the bridge (or at least attack the encampment), then reinforcements may have arrived. :]

Yes, that's it. Thanks! Interesting. According to her web site, she's got a whole slew (well, 9 at least) Irene Adler books in print.

Red Hand of Doom--my players stay out!! This means you: Tod, Monte, Bob, and Jude!!! If you are playing, or hoping/planning to play, in this adventure....please STOP reading now. It really is more fun when everything is a surprise. OK, a small bump in the plot road for RHoD. The party...

See my previous post. :)
