Not sure which camp I am in but this is what I look for in a campaign setting: - I need to know what makes this setting different from all the other fantasy D&D settings out there. What makes this one shine? - Cover key regions that express this ideal/theme/features to me clearly and...

I picked up last night night, I expect a cheap easy read.

Pretty much this, it's intention for ease of play and vision. With that said I would totally do this, it's not terribly hard to pull off.

I have not been able to get to it all evening.

I used to be in the closet, gaming wise. But now I just let it all hang out, I don't hide it and I love it. If people don't like it or think it's weird that is their problem. I love this hobby and probably always will.

It's a tie between Dark Sun and Planescape, well not a true tie. Dark Sun wins because of the new version but I am fond of Planescape. I loved the original box set to death. Al-Qadim was fun to play and I really enjoyed that as well. Eberron seems like a great setting never really played it...

Good point, I think this comes with experience as well. I know when I made adventures as a kid I tried to make them like the modules and just write a bunch of stuff I never needed and rarely actually finished them, getting bored or just not really need much of that text. Dividing and...

Some more examples when I think of a party: - Romance is in the air, someone has either caught the PCs eye, or more likely one or more of the PC's have caught the eyes of someone who pursues them throughout the evening. It can be benign or sinister, normal or supernatural. Basically it adds a...

I agree the design process really intrigues me and I am glad to see how others approach this issue. Also kudos to the OP on his willingness to improve it is something I strive for as well. This community thankfully has some gifted DMs.

Thanks, I tend to just like to get everything I can down at first. Well I suppose I can cover how I do adventures, I sort of go with the narrow-broad-narrow design as well in contrast to my campaign and overall story prep my adventure prep is pretty slim with a focus on major characters, set...

Wayne Reynolds is awesome.

Mine is my World of Warcraft character's name. I like it so I use it. She is a sexy little blood elf paladin. Yeah not that exciting.

First off excellent thread, I really like seeing how people doing things kudos to everyone that has participated. Second, Gloomshroud congratulations on your test session I am glad you found stuff that works. I may be late to the party but I feel like contributing anyway. Initial...

A little lengthy but a basic outline of a campaign I want to try and run. Any thoughts and or concerns? My basic guess is that the city-state will be Tyr before Kalak dies but I left it semi-open for now. I wanted an opening that was a play on being slaves while also playing up some of the...

I liked the sample chapter :)

I might get it anyway, just to read something about the Nentir Vale.

Man those were the days, well they seemed like the days. Hanging out in the garage playing games all weekend. I would say the biggest thing about my 14 year old self, is that I was more prone to just going with what I thought was cool, we probably played more Palladium games than we did D&D or...

I would handle this adventure this way to avoid the on rails issue. One is that I would just tell them any relevant information they should know with the opening monologue. If there is a water shortage tell them and make sure they know how desperate things are from the start. Emphasize the...

My thoughts: * Power vacuum, who will run the town and why? This could fuel several adventures especially for a small town where everyone has a vested interest in keeping things stable between their neighbors. * The drug angle as suggested is a very strong one. What if they decide that...

You might need to adjust your encounters, that could help too.
