The (almost cliche now) analogy is to a version of Middle Earth had Sauron won against the race of man and had captured the ring back from Frodo and Sam. It is a very bleak world, but a great campaign setting. Yes, the use of divine magic is restricted to the bad guys, and you are hunted down by...

Anyone run, or play in, this 2nd edition module? I am looking to mine it for some encounters and or ideas for an upcoming adventure where the PC's will be in an abandoned dwarven stronghold. Thanks in advance for opinions and suggestions on what to use.

Speaking as someone who worked for a small game company that worked at many different conventions, I try to pick up any purchases from the small companies that attend the conventions (that I like) as I know that it helps offset their costs for attending those conventions (you know how much a...

Fury of the Shadow for Fantasy Flight Game's Midnight Setting. Provided that is, if they have it available by then, and I make it to GenCon this year. Might be the first time in seventeen years I'll miss it...

Thanks for the links Hand; that last one seems to be quite the list of resources!

I thought Dungeoncraft started around 3rd edition days... but I could be wrong (and most often am ;) There was also a series of articles that IIRC Roger Moore (old editor for Dragon) wrote in Polyhedron. If you want the Dungeoncraft articles, shoot me an email at: robmcnamee at sbcglobal dot...

I use a weapon and armor degradation set of house rules for my Midnight campaign that I recently started. I kept it simple and just imposed a -1 AC penatly and an increase of 1 to the Armor Skill Check whenever the wearer suffered a critical hit. With weapons, I ruled that any 1 rolled on an...

Well I started with a small group of friends (from High School) soon after I returned home from the Army. We started playing the summer 3rd edition came out. Unfortunately one of our friends passed away, and the group dissolved. After a few months, I was really beginning to miss playing so I...

If I would have taken out the transport in Eastern Canada, I might have held off the Brits from retaking it on Turn 1! It was an insane gamble, but that's one of the aspects I like about the new version- it actually allows you to try some new strategies and gambles.

Let me first say I don't have a game board at hand while I am typing this, so my descriptions might not be 100% accurate, but the strategy is still applicable and possible (maybe not recommended, but still possible). I have succeeded at launching an Operation SeaLion against the UK player on...

No NewWave Yes, whatever you do, DO NOT buy from NewWave. There are countless stories of customers being ripped off by them as well as plenty of unresolved complaints against them through the Better Business Bureau. Trust me- I've been burned by them as well!

Draconimicon, a truly magnificent book from cover to cover.

Thanks, got it. Seems to work pretty well so far.

Man, did I ever have a crush on her when Willow came out!

Is the patch worth purchasing for updating ETools to 3.5? I just wanted to get some opinions before I decide to invest some time and money into it. Thanks in advance.

I've been a long time player of A&A and played countless hours with the original board game. I was excited for the release of the new version as I agreed with many of the new changes they were making to this classic. I especially like how they divided up Eastern Europe and Western Russia. That...

It seems that the majority of his threads are like that...

I can't believe no one else has mentioned this so far, but I would highly recommend Fantasy Flight Games' setting of Midnight for your players. This should fit their bill just right. The (almost a cliche now) likeness is to that of Middle Earth if Frodo and Sam had failed to destroy the one-ring...

Our group has had a several month hiatus, but we've been struggling to play a long-running campaign for the nearly three years the group has been together. For one reason or another, we can't seem to manage playing in a campaign for over six months. Somehow we end up starting a new campaign; I...
