Kenku show up in my campaigns. Gnolls are a great beastman race. I like carrion crawlers alot. And Otyughs. Monsters I like but rarely if ever use are beholders and purple worms and giants. I just looked through the MM3 today at the store. Looks like some great stuff in there!

Yeah, the Dagonomicon was a flash. We were all pretty stoked. I haven't been describing much biomancy, so Dagon has taken the place of psuedo-science. But, yeah this has been a great campaign. It has been really amazing to have all these long threads pulling through the whole storyline. The...

Session 21: Put Him in the Iron Maiden! After last session's storytelling and roleplay, this session was pure hack and slash. The party descended into the Pyromancer's Tomb through an "energetic" tube that kept water from flowing onto the hot magma. The bard lowered himself down and tripped...

Session 19 & 20: The Perfect Storm Last session the heroes did some investigation and enjoyed some downtime. The druid purchased a bookload of rituals from Sidoneth and had a positive interaction. The Bard snooped around and managed to identifying Nelebekus at the Royale (he also tried out...

How'd it go?

Session 18: Death and Old Friends I have to say that although I was wary of this module, the urban sandbox has been really fun to play with. The players are following multiple plot strands at once I am DMing by the seat of my pants to keep up with it. The party started still lost in the...

We ignore the magic item daily limit. Blast away!

Historical articles for sure. There are some great ones in the old archives that could be updated to 4e... Red Steel (Russian?), Crusader Earth and all that... and castle/fief management rules would be rad to. They should be in a book though. We want it in the DDI so everything loads up...

That sounds fricking awesome. You're good at this stuff! Its gonna take a moment to digest that and respond, but I dig it.

That looks pretty good. My players owned Indomitiability. The other problem I had was dealing with the swimming rules. That broke right through my sense of verisimilitude. Oh well. Underwater medieval fights are no more ridiculous than deer made of fire living under a lake. Are you going to...

Ah, thanks RW. The great mystery is answered by petty jealousy, very good. A PC is a drow, so I think I may play up that angle. So, where is the Torch of the Burning Sky? I had a thought last night that it could be literally stuck in the eye of the Dreaming Dragon. Maybe the Drow stuck it...

Who killed King Steppenguard's family? Another question: Who actually killed the family of the King in "Banquet"? I had a thought that perhaps it was the Drow who killed Coaltongue My further idea is that perhaps these drow are agents of the Dreaming Dragon. Perhaps I'll make Madness a...

Due to real life, it looks like I will be shooting for ending the campaign with the Mad King's Banquet. I really like the adventure and I think ending with a climactic mass battle will be awesome, but I would like to get the community's input on how to wrap up some of the big themes. I have...

Session 17: Lost in the Dungeons of Fishy Lava The players liked getting back into an old fashioned dungeon after all this free form stuff. I didn't realize it but that more or less what Shelter is, an urban dungeon. After last session's quick thinking, I drew up a map that that connected...

My players on thursday were very interested in the fish market as well. They went asking around and I directed streetwise types to the Royale. Then they got into the Arson investigations which took them down a manhole.

Session 16: Urban Adventure, of the Rails and into the Sandbox Well this one required some quick thinking for the old DM. The party's second day in Seaquen followed a dinner party with Xavious Foebane who gave them the lay of the land, caught them up on war news and invited them to the...

I'd imagine we all agree that the rules in this case are secondary to the scenarios presented in this series. I agree about the weather and location themes. Good stuff. I also dig that even though there is a lot of travel, NPCs and powergroups reoccur frequently. So much fun.

I found it was best to re do all the stats in the Monster Builder program. In addition to wonky defenses, many of the major villains have long complicated power lists, maybe translations from the 3rd edition iteration. On the whole though, I found it was nice to let the PCs just run through...

Session 15: Spies, Imperialism, and the End of the World The Brotherhood of Aquiline Mercy has traveled through Fire and Ice, across many leagues, battling every step of the way to finally arrive at the famed Lyceum of Seaquen, the only Free City brave enough to stand up to the Ragesian Empire...
