Does anyone have any tips or advice for creating PC's with personality? My players could definitely use some help bringing their characters to life - we have made some steps in terms of backstory and then introducing elements of that into the game - but at the table they still very much feel...

Count me in, been meaning to do this for a long time.

This will be an introductory game using new virtual table software called Roll20. For more information feel free to check the below links: Roll20 Roll 20 Preview Video What will the game be? The game will be a small dungeon adventure for PC’s of 1st level – it will primarily focus on hack...

I have already created a couple of posts about my campaign which is based heavily on Chris Perkins "Iomandra" setting. One of the things I would like to have is a caste society - it will give the campaign a different flavour and reinforce some of the main tenets of the setting. I would...

I will soon be starting my Paragon campaign and am hoping you can provide me with some ideas re: things for my players to spend their money on. At Level 12 the monetary value of the treasure parcels is 26k - what interesting and fun things can I let my players spend their hard won gold on? I...

Thanks for the input - there is spot for one or two more players - however Australia may be a bit of a jouney for you to make it each week! I am tempted to move the game to OKC though as I am a massive Thunder fan haha. There are other gods in the setting (Moradin for the Dwarves, Corellion...

Origin is pretty close to lore with just some slight adjustments to create possible plot hooks for the future. Its not quite 'Arkhosia' as it is in the books, Arkhosia is the name I have used for the known world which is an island chain each ruled by an individual dragonlord. The two islands...

Thankyou once again for the feedback - please be brutal with the below. The idea of the below is just to give a general feel for the two main gods of the setting - does the below achieve that? My players are not the types that require a great deal of information and backstory (ie. I do not...

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated. How it works is as you guessed the peoples taxes are paid to their dragon overlord - the dragonborn that serve the dragons run most of the government - each town has its own Magistrate (who is normally a dragonborn but not always) who is in charge of...

As I mentioned in a previous thread I am starting a Paragon level campaign soon which borrows heavily from Chris Perkins "Iomandra" setting. While some of the citizens may worship other gods the two main gods in the setting are Bahamut and Tiamat. My main goal is not to paint Bahamut as the...

Thankyou for the suggestion - I really like the idea of being vulnerable to dragon damage. Autohit for the fear makes sense as well and maybe a -2 to attack or similar. The idea is that this would not be a permanent disability, dragonborn PC's would have the ability to find an item that...

Not too sure if this is the correct forum for it - if not please let me know. I am looking for assistance with my D&D campaign - which is heavily based on Chris Perkins "Iomandra" game which is a large island chain where each island is ruled by a different dragon overlord. Anyway what I am...

Thanks for replying Rel - it was reading your campaign thread and hearing how much your party loved it they got me checking out this thread. Removing the level bonuses seem smart, am I correct that you keep bonuses given due to Race, Background and Items? Do you have your rules for power...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread - I LOVE this idea - has anyone been actively using it in their game and how have you been finding it?

Great thread - finding the whole thing very interesting. Can you extrapolate a little more on skills - how does it work in character creation? Does the player describe their concept for their character and then from that you work out what the PC will be good at it and put names to it?

I am starting a new campaign soon - would be interested in hearing some different creation methods you have used in your campaigns to create interesting characters. I would also be interested if you tried creating characters at the same time as the other players and how those types of group...

But if what you were saying was the case in most games - then skills themselves have no meaning. Why take acrobatics - when you can just explain to the DM all the awesome tricks you are doing? If it doesnt apply to physical activities and just things like talking - then its unfair to those...

Perfect Runestar - was trying to think how to say this but you nailed it perfectly.

Good call on changing Acrobatics for Perception.
