    Logic behind sales of "Expedition to Castle Greyhawk"?

    I am this person. My group is made up largely of these people. I'm turning 25 in a few weeks and have absolutely been turned on to Greyhawk via the Age of Worms adventure path. I can't get enough information about the setting despite great effort and what translates into almost every Greyhawk...

    Logic behind sales of "Expedition to Castle Greyhawk"?

    So if all that time/money/effort is going into Greyhawk via the Living games, why not bite the bullet and put out a Greyhawk setting hardcover? Are not enough people playing LG to justify WotC getting behind a book? I'd imagine putting out the Setting and following it up with several books...

    Age of Worms pictures + video (Spoilers)

    This thread contains spoilers for the Age of Worms AP. Here are a few pictures from our Age of Worms game. We have just recently started Chapter 5: The Champions Games. Please refrain from commenting on anything in the adventure past the first Arena battle. Battle at Blackwall Keep...

    Running into an invisible wall?

    Thank you all for your opinions and ideas. I think we would have used the Xd6 non-lethal if the situation actually came up. How / why did this come up? ****AGE OF WORMS SPOILER**** We just ran the first encounter, a four team free for all, in chapter 5: The Champion's Games. The battle...

    Running into an invisible wall?

    Does anyone know of any rules for running, walking, or charging into a wall? For instance, a Wizard has a readied action to throw up a Wall of Force as soon as X number of Orcs pass a certain point. What happens when the Orcs run head long into that wall? They can't see it, so are they dazed...

    Stupid High Skill Checks and Saves

    Would you, and the community as a whole agree that these are pretty much standard "actual play" numbers for strong/weak saves? Are they to low, high? I'm currently struggling to find what I feel to be the optimal use of feat slots to sure up my 9th level Fighters Will save, which is currently...

    Age of Worms character creation advice

    ****POST CONTAINS MINOR SPOILER**** :) I'm sure we are not running SC. We are running the Free For All event in the Greyhawk Arena (just hit level 9) this Tuesday night. We have done fine without a Cleric so far, but have already seen the non-obvious value one has in the AP. I'm not...

    Age of Worms character creation advice

    We are currently running AoW and just finished chapter 4. Our party consists of 7 PC's and we do not have a cleric. So far it has been really tough, but we have managed to get ourselves out of a few very horrible situations with either A) massive amounts of reasources spent on prep or B) luck...

    Looking for group, MA

    Hey man, glad to see another local posting on EN World. If you're looking for a FLGS to call home I suggest checking out Battleground Games and Hobbies in Abington. It's not too bad of a drive from Franklin and our RPG community is pretty great. Currently, one of our customers is trying to...

    [Shackled City] What would you do? [SPOILERS!]

    Its very, very cool and a great way to kick off that part of the adventure. I can't help but think about the idea of helping / working with *THE* Chaotic Evil monster though... What kind of impact does that have on the parties alignment, especially since they have no real idea what the dwarf...

    A wizard in Ravenloft.

    Are you absolutely dead set on Fly? I'd look into Haste before I went for something that may not provide any benefit to the party on any given day. I'd also encourage your DM to allow Libris Mortis and Hero's of Horror. They bring a lot of really cool options to the PC's as well as the DM and...

    Resist Energy, Mass

    We generally use it when we know/suspect that we will be facing some kind of energy damage. Its been cast in combat twice, and both times we didnt see that energy type again in that encounter. At spell lvl 3, and its 10min/lvl duration, it makes a really good spell to boost via our lesser rod...

    Using a Beholder for the first time.

    A beholder is a beast at CR 13, but its very easy to play them poorly.

    Resist Energy, Mass

    Is it any better than Haste, Fireball, Lightning Bolt, ect.? Its a good defensive spell, but its certainly not overpowered at third level. If it gets cast and renders a fight trivial, whats the problem with that? Good prep and/or a good choice in spell selection should be rewarded once in a...

    Using a Beholder for the first time.

    Are you sure the rays all fire in unison? The way i read it it seems as if he can fire each ray once per round, as a free action. Its true he can only fire 3 rays at targets in any one 90 degree arc, but what leads you to believe that it must be in unison? What im wondering is if he can use...

    Using a Beholder for the first time.

    I wouldnt put a party of four 8th or 9th level PC's up against a beholder at all, never mind one they dont know about or arent prepared for... Its instant death if the beholder is done any justice at all. Also, cant a beholder pivot on its axis up to 90 degrees for 5 ft. of movement (fly speed...
