A friend of mine used Baldur's Gate to lure me into D&D. He gave me his old BG game which he was tired of. Then; when I was completely hooked, he started tempting me to try out the real thing. He had been playing AD&D for years, but had just moved to my town and didn't know anybody and so he...

In my group, we all disliked this feat. We thought it weird that one character's feat should make it impossible for another character to do something. Doesn't matter how many feats related to casting defensively the caster has; he could have both Combat Casting and Epic Skill Focus, a 3rd level...

I'm curious; how many of the DMs here at EN-World use published adventues and how many write their own? If you could also drop a few lines about why you do things the way you do, that'd be great, Personally, I love the creative process of making my own adventures. I tried running a published...

4-6 players (1 female; my wife), +DM 1 PC each Don't care too much about whether the bases are covered Irregular sessions, although we strive to keep a 1/week average 5-10 hours of gaming per session A campaign can last anywhere from 1 month to 5 years All WotC non-world-specific books allowed...

This is pretty much how I feel about it right now. However, I'm already working on the next Vikings books, and I make a note of any errors I come across as I look up references from book 1. I'm also DMing my regular gaming group through our first real Vikings campaign, and the guys are all under...

I think you'd have to drop the Int requirement for casting spells (i.e. a wizard must have Int = 10 + spell level). High intelligence doesn't seem to be required for HP wizards, although the most intelligent ones are also the ones who learn the most spells. A wizard could perhaps start with a...

From all the bad experiences people seem to have with evil characters, I suppose some people see that CB alignment (complete bastard) as an invitation to outrages behaviour. To go a little 'nuts'. To do all the things that they're not normally allowed to do. Forbidden fruits have a strong...

No, but I can see how writing 'complete bastard' can have a bad effect. Especially if it's written in the alignment box of a character sheet. Although (as you can see from my previous posts) I know from personal experience that it is fully possible to run a longtime campaign with utterly evil...

QFT. Can't let realism get in the way of gameplay! ;) However, there has certainly been occasions where the prizes have varied greatly from that norm, when the players wanted to invest the time and effort needed to get the optimum price for an item. The very first time my group encountered an...

That's pretty close to how I started my campaign. The PCs started off as pirates and the first thing that happened was that somebody (I myself didn't even know who at that time) assassinated their captain and sunk the ship. In the middle of the night. During a storm. Far from land... The PCs...

The longest running and also most memorable campaign I've been involved in in any way was with an evil party. It lasted for 5 years and ended with the PCs having effective character levels well into the 50s. There were 5 players (or 6 for a little while), plus me as DM. Not once did a PC even...

QFT! :cool: Eric Idle as a rogue; a gnome or halfling. Something small anyway. Margareth Thatcher as a venerable dwarven defender. With a huge beard! :D Rowan Atkinson as a human cleric. Roger Moore as an elven paladin. John Cleese as a human wizard. ...and why do I keep coming up with...

What's with all these Vikings threads lately? Don't you people know Vikings D20 is still being edited?!? Be patient just a little while longer... ;)

I'm working on a Viking adventure at the moment, but obviously it won't be released until the Vikings D20 book is out. Shouldn't be too long now, though; it is in the final stages of editing. The adventure is supposed to take the party from level 1 to level 3, but it shouldn't be too hard to...

Sorry 'bout that. :heh: English isn't my first language, I'm afraid (I'm from Norway).

Some freakish characters from a freakish goblin campaign I ran last year: Goblin blackguards, riding wild boars. An obese goblin wizard/alchemist, who won eternal fame after he invented firepowder (=gunpowder). A goblin weapon smith, who got equally famous after he invented gonns (=guns). A...

In the first campaign I DMed, I had a recurring character that would fit in well in this tavern. IMC, the PCs always bumped into him whenever they visited a place they hadn't been to before; and every time they met him, he had started a new career (i.e. picked up a level of new class). He was...

Something like that; I think it's called Contingent Spell. It'll be my 12t level feat. :cool:

Gotta get that! ;) It's an illusion spell, right? Besides Contingency, Sending is the only spell i really miss; even with 3 forbidden schools (ench, evoc & necro)!

I just had to go for the 'I'm already published'-option, although it isn't strictly true! The lure of 'shameless self-promotion' was too much to resist. :p Even if I'm not published yet, I've completed a 300 page book on my own Vikings setting; which will be published by TheLe games as soon...
