    Let's all run a module

    Lets start with Mike Mearls' Seige of Durghams Folly...I am 3/4 of the way through it (modified heavily for Iron Kingdoms) where the characters had defeated the Black Ogrun who had captured the fort but are now staring death in the face, in a little old maze with a pretty nasty trap :)

    Fantasy D20 -- PDF Sales Continue to Slow . . .

    It is all my fault :) I think as some have mentioned earlier, there have not been any products that have captured my imagination, or has the "wow" factor. I check RPGNOW a lot more, but by a lot less. In fact I have been purchasing more non Fantasy products such as WeirdWars etc. because the...

    Desert of Desolation - your experiences?

    Whatever the Critcisms, i ran the Desert of Desolation module (which is a compilation of the 3 with tie ins) and it is the one module that my players still talk about and i ran this about 9 years ago. Whatever the flaws, the module is very evocative, and was a load of fun for my players.

    Sailors on the River of Worlds- Update

    I would also consider using several elements from "The Scar" by China Meiville - The floating City, The Aurac, Vampyr, Lovers, Mosquito people, and the scar itself are all wonderful elements for a game like yours.

    [July] What are you reading?

    Reading: "The Scar" by China Meiville - very good, even better than PDS so far. Finished Wildwood Road by Christopehr Golden - a good horror book The Kite Runner by Khaled Husseini- One of the best books I have ever read. Also have purchased Gene Wolfe's "Long Sun" series (any opinion would be...

    Trouble at Durbenford

    Good Review! What i liked was this is one of the few modules that maps out the consequences of PC actions (e.g. If the PC's do XYZ then it will change the opinion of person Q but person M might be upset etc.). The plot holes are very glaring, the part with the Vampire Druid (the PC's could...

    Favorite 3.5 adventure modules

    Favorite 3x modules: The Witchfire Trilogy- Great flavor, characters and cinematic combat and memorable NPC's. The Seige of Durghams Folly- Simple yet one of the most effectively designed modules. Maiden Voyage- This adventure is oozing great plot and an awesome cast of NPC's- Only well thought...

    Dragon 334, Malhavoc's Surprise = Ptolus

    I think it is going to be an "adventure path" from the playtest of 3e which highlights several of the "cool" aspects of 3e via Plotus.

    Is Iron Kingdoms worth it?

    The Mechanika classes will be weak in a campaign with no mechankia...I think some people might change their minds about the "underpowered" classes after the "Liber Mechanika" comes out.

    Is Iron Kingdoms worth it?

    Humans getting skill points and optional abilities - it is OPTIONAL - the game is geared towards a more humanocentric? campaign. Go to the IK website and you will find a very simple breakdown of mechanika rules and clarification of the questions posed above on their message board and available...

    Is Iron Kingdoms worth it?

    The bonus hit dice and other rules issues have been clarified on the IK boards- the bonus hit die is a D8 and not a class hit dice. As for the rules, the hardest part to grasp is the Mechanika, which, once you understand it, is almost exactly like building a car - you have different parts you...

    What would you like to see in Dungeon?

    I would suggest a serialized "serious" comic strip based on a "story hour" - Think the serialized version of the story hour "Defenders of Daybreak" by Piratecat.

    For Pity's Sake, If Your Gonna Use a Grell, Use the Lords of Madness version

    I think the fix should have been to increase their challenge ratings than the other way around. I love Grell with Lightning lances!!

    For those of you demanding adventures . . .

    I think that with 3e, it is actually much easier to create well rounded, high level human/humanoid antagonists- just give them the appropriate class levels. There are plenty of motives in real life such as greed, glory and the best - Revenge, that can work well for the main antagonist. A good...

    For those of you demanding adventures . . .

    On the contrary, there is an absolute lack of epic, well written, generic adventures. Almost every module i have browsed through starts of with.."<insert name of big evil demon/god> tried to take over the world/build artifact of doom...which was buried under this cave/mountain hill/ now leaking...
