I think what TJeremy is talking about is the kind of extreme reaction you seem to be having to this. They're talking up their product, trying to get people excited and promote sales, why is that different from any other product? I don't read a sales pitch thinking to myself "boy I sure hope...

I psyched for it, I'll be getting it the day it comes out. I still play and enjoy the original NWN, so I'm sure this one will be right up my alley. I think it ships on Tuesday, which means it would be in stores Wednesday. I hope I'm wrong though, I'm off on Tuesday! :)

I don't want it to be quite obvious to the characters that there are toys involved at that stage of the adventure. I want that first encounter to be something to get them used to their characters, and that they can look back on later and say "Oh cripes, those were Ken dolls!" I'll have to...

Well, human sized awakened Ken dolls. That's why I was thinking Golems. Does that change your ideas at all? The players may or may not figure out what they are. Hopefully not right away at least. :) The Candy Golem is genius, and may get plugged in to the last scene of the adventure! If...

Hmmm, how about some more details. - Right now the plan for the first adventure is to start at 6th level with the characters. Initially I'm planning this like a con game, and I may actually try to run it at GenCon next year. - I'm going for a Bureau 13 setting, which means Dark*Matter/Urban...

I'm new to d20 Modern, but I have an idea for an adventure for my friends and I'm trying to set it up. Pregenned characters to start with, though I'm hoping this may work out to be an irregularly episodic campaign. Are there any Golem type templates? Or Golems at all in D20 Modern for that...

Hmmmm, I'll just throw out some things. - Try and get the technology out of the way early. In other words make sure your players have FG installed, and that they have successfully connected to you (as a test) before the scheduled game time. This can be done days early of course, and the...

Don't know anything about Klooge, but I know a little about FG. Sounds like most if not all of your people will be at least a little computer savvy, that will help with both programs. "something that takes a lot of time to learn or prep for will not be embraced." For FG at least, but probably...

I'd check out the FG website's forums, there's a good core of people over there that will answer questions pretty promptly, and it should result in pretty specific advice pertaining to FG. What is it specifically that you're wondering about? If you have some specific questions I can try to...

It's pretty easy to justify I would think. He wants to help his friends. He doesn't want to leave a mission unfinished. He wants to see his daughter get married someday. In this case we're talking about the Age of Worms, I would think saving the material world just might be enough...

This was the first think I thought of as well. I think Brust deals with the Raise Dead issue very well, where assassins can be sent to kill someone as a lesson knowing full well they will be raised, or sent to kill someone for good with a Morganti dagger or by cutting off their head. There's...

I agree. I'd like to see the option to end or take the campaign in a different (or just custom) direction around 12 or 14. I'd like a war to be the central event of the campaign. The problems leading up to it and the actual war. The missions the characters could go on would be many and...

Yep, same here. It just feels too derivative of Pirates of the Caribbean, like they decided to ride the publicity coattails as it were. I would have been much happier seeing something I felt was more original. Absolutely. I'd love to see something like that. I'd maybe try a little higher...

Hey, that's pretty cool! Congrats!

I agree. The last group I played in was a Sorcerer, a Wizard, a Ranger, and FOUR Monks. Yep, you read that correctly. Four monks. We had a blast. I'm sure the DM had to adjust slightly to the party, but with wands we we OK for healing. What we did on the player side was just adjust our...

Yeah, I can see that pretty easily. Everyone's situation is different. Heck, gotta give them credit for changing because you wanted them to. That's some nice players! :)

I run IH for a group of gamers. I wouldn't call them casual, since they are all experienced gamers, but they are all adults, most with children, and don't have a lot of time outside the game to think about the game. What I'm finding is that the players can pretty easily learn the complexities...

What does it say about me that Durkon and Roy are my favorite OOTSers? Does it mean I'm boring? Does it mean that in RL I'm surrounded by people of questionable compentence? Whatever it says, there it is. Durkon and Roy have been my favorites from the beginning and will continue to be...

I just figured that since Durkon is a priest of the God of Thunder he can not only use Thunder as an offensive weapon, but target it at a very specific area and/or creatures. It's where he gets his power after all. Were I the DM of the OOTS game I wouldn't have a problem ruling that way. I...

No problem, this is fun! I like the idea of running across the wood medusa first. If you go with the green wood weakness that means you're providing the characters with a way to possibly change the Walker, but you're not just sending them on a side quest. If they don't think of the medusa...
