    A Question about Shelter from the Storm 4e (spoilers)

    Don't be obstuse. I can't figure out what you're talking about. Players shouldn't really lurk here anyways. The only strange equipment I can think of would be in Sidoneth the biomantic wizard's lab.

    What is THE classic dragon-hunting/slaying adventure?

    Right at the beginning of 3e there was an awesome slay the white dragon module that featured the dragon's half-dragon son as an ally. I never played it, but it sure looked cool. Also, there was a D&D (boxed sets) Lairs book called something like "Dragon's and Giants that had a dozen short...

    D&D in the classroom

    That's awesome. I'd love to hear about how you might work it into your curriculum.

    Durn's War of Fire and Ice Campaign Discussion

    This was an adventure that started out fairly straight forward and turned out to be really complicated. My players are still scratching their heads and some want to backtrack to try to put the pieces together. They suspect the Eladrin, but aren't sure. I think the mod could use a bit of...

    Durn's War of Fire and Ice Campaign Discussion

    Session 10 Today the heroes of Gate Pass defeated the Indomitable Stag and freed the forest of its flaming curse. They slew Guenevere, Vuhl slew Timbre, and they slew Vuhl, and Kazyk as well. They are still quite confused about who really started the fire, but ready to move on. I think there...

    Death Dealer Adventure?

    I just ran through I think 2/3 of the module tonight in a mega-session. I handed out pre-gens and kept a stack of extras because we used the full Deathdealer Crit rules and I expected some deaths. Despite many many crits, I did not kill any characters. Oh well. My comments are this: The...

    Optional rule: The DEATHBLOW!

    Check out the Crit rules in Goodman Games Deathdealer module... brutal.

    Help me make WotC adventures better.

    I agree that shorter modules might be less overwhelming to a campaign. The big mods so far feel like a mini-campaign each. Which can be cool! The things that printed mods can do that Dungeon can't is handouts and poster maps. These are my favorite parts of the H/P/Es. Cardstock handouts and...

    WotBS WOTBS#2 Planning the FINAL BATTLE

    So, yes, I'm running it in 4e, and the rules are simple, but I'm still thinking about how to make it make a little bit of sense as far as people swimming underwater in armor... Another thing to think about: My players accepted Indomitability's offer and received his boon. If they free him and...

    What are the best published 4e adventures for 1st level?

    I like the Chaos Scar mini adventures for an intro. They are interesting and small. I like that you can play out a story in a session or two. I think that's good for beginning D&Ders. If I were to do a Chaos Scar game I'd probabll add enounters from KotS as well, I love the maps.

    How'd you handle Haddin?

    I swapped him out for a Howling Hag named Tristessa who was the guardian of Chrystin... basically an excuse to have an ally freak out during combat. I agree though, he's basically a thorn in the side NPC. Probably the main story reason to have him is that if the party wants Christin around...

    WotBS WOTBS#2 Planning the FINAL BATTLE

    Hey, its definitely an advanced DM's module. No worries. However, today RPing the Seela Village, I was wishing for some sort of cheat sheet...

    WotBS WOTBS#2 Planning the FINAL BATTLE

    Thanks for the responses! Those are good ideas. Introducing Kazyk causing havoc with the Seela is a go for sure. Having Vuhl attack Timbre before and is a good idea as well. As for finishing off Indomitability, how is it supposed to work? Why can't they just coup de gras while he's pinned...

    WotBS WOTBS#2 Planning the FINAL BATTLE

    I would like to start this thread to discuss ideas and experiences with the ultimate battle in the Fire Forest module. There are two options, a battle on the shore with Vuhl and Tragedy, or an underwater battle with Ogres and Indomitability, with the like addition of Kazyk. It turns out I'm...

    Durn's War of Fire and Ice Campaign Discussion

    A brief recap: The party was uninterested in going up river so they built some boats and went down stream. After some fishing for flaming trout the had an accident with a log and while they were repairing the boat, they encountered the fleeing Tiljann and Saved her from the Rebels. They...

    Durn's War of Fire and Ice Campaign Discussion

    Whew! Almost through! I must admit this session nearly broke my poor DM brain. Once the party gets to the Seela village there is ALOT of exposition to do. All kinds of hints and conflicting info needs to be sorted out, and alot of RP is to be had. This is all well and good, but some...

    Unmarked Battlemaps Please!?

    hmm, I'm getting an error and no password prompt. Perhaps I need the FG software after all... Oh, and I have a Mac, which may be the problem.

    Unmarked Battlemaps Please!?

    Awesome! I assumed they wouldn't work because I don't have the FG software, but this is great! Thanks!

    Unmarked Battlemaps Please!?

    Hey, I just found the folder of unmarked battlemaps for the Fire Forest, but they are incomplete. I am going to try using a projector for maps and it would be great if unmarked map files could be made available for the various modules. (I saw the 1-inch scale maps but I don't think that would...

    Mad King's Banquet 4e: Ressurection? (Spoilers)

    Here's the Rules... I like RW's version, that it is quite easy to prevent raising and that they often don't work. I'd also like RW to publish more chapters from his novel! [/I]
