Hi, I've DM'ed for a couple of swordmage PCs and in my experience, although they are hard to hit they don't actually do much damage! What power is the swordmage using to teleport so it attacks another opponent? Cheers Rich

Hi, Are there any equivalents to the air/windsoul or stormsoul genasi in Pathfinder. I have found the Ifrit (fire), Undine (water) and Oread (earth) but not these two. Cheers! Rich

Hi, I've just posted Design Diary No.10 here, including a preview of the Slums in the Dock Ward. I'm also keen to get feedback on how to describe NPC class and level (if at all) in an edition neutral D&D book. Let me know what you think Cheers Rich

Hi, I've written a very short design diary about this book here and you can now download the book from Drivethrurpg for just $2.99 Cheers Richard

Hi, Design Diary No. 9 is up here. This one includes the intro section to the Harbour Ward. Feedback welcome! Cheers Richard

If you want to know more, I wrote up the sessions on my blog: http://richgreen01.livejournal.com/tag/courts I moved the set up from Zobeck to Parsantium but it'll give you a good idea of the kind of things that can happen when you run it. Cheers Rich

Forgot this one - probably the best of the HPE series. Great background setting and some fun set piece combats.

Hi, I'm running P1 King of the Trollhaunt Warrens at the moment and we're having fun. There's a lot of combat in it but there's a decent story behind it and a cool villain (as someone mentioned upthread). I have read both Reavers of Harkenwold and Madness at Gardmore Abbey and they both look...

Hi, I've posted a new design diary here. This includes a preview of the University. Feedback welcome! Cheers Richard

Quick update - I ran a Parsantium game for a group of strangers and two former players at UKT4 on Saturday. They all seemed to enjoy the setting and I got some useful feedback. Pictures here. I need to write another design diary soon but have been too busy writing the actual book! Cheers Rich

Yes, that's a great book. When I was researching the various city sourcebooks out there to come up with my structure for Parsantium, there were a lot of things I liked about how the Sharn book was put together. First Impressions is definitely one of them - I plan to have a paragraph like that at...

LOL! I do have a lot to write still, plus art, maps, layout etc to sort, but it would be good to have a one-pager for UKT4. I'll see if I get time to do one in the next 10 days. Cheers Rich

I think this is a good idea - I need to do something like this for the playtest game I'm running at UKT4. I guess the above (post 11) doesn't work, huh? I'll give it some more thought - think it needs to fit on one page so people can read it quickly and absorb it. Cheers Rich

Hi, Thought I'd post Six Things You Need to Know About Parsantium from the first draft of the introductory chapter: Six Things You Need to Know Parsantium is a complex city, but the following points encapsulate the main features of this campaign setting. 1. A Melting Pot Parsantium is a...

Hi, Are there rules anywhere for the cost of NPC spell or ritual casting in 4e? I can't find any. And, if not, do you use any house rules for this? Cheers Rich

Hi, This is a great topic! I've run quite a few campaigns over the 30+ years I've been playing D&D and most of them have been fairly long-running, both in terms of real time and character progression. My two Parsantium campaigns have been running 4 years each (since 4e came out) and have hit 90...

Hi, I've just posted my latest design diary here, including a couple of sample PC backgrounds. Let me know what you think Cheers Rich

Thanks for that -I'll play up the rivalry and the blessings ;) Cheers Rich

I'm hoping that 5e/Next will give us a halfway house between earlier editions of D&D and 4e, so that there are more fun options in combat for fighters etc but one encounter doesn't take up half the session. Cheers Rich

Thanks Nikosandros! Just noticed you live in Rome - one of the festivals I'm including is based on the Palio di Siena - thought that was too cool not to have ;) Rich
