I am very tempted that before the Axis Island ritual the world was flat, and a purely mythological world with none of this pretence of a real sun, planets , moons etc (If you are familiar with it Glorantha would be a nice model) and the threats came via planar gates not travelling across the...

My thoughts on Act 3 preperation/issues. 0.5) Work out if your group will be ok with one of them being monarch and not have problems with the power issue of one being in charge , if they will have problems with that make an NPC monarch , the plot works better with a PC monarch but it will split...

I quite like the way of linking it to the Golarion setting. I do think that this would be similar to Ravenlot but without the overwhelming forces of evil dominating the world. I also think part of the fun would be letting each player or combination of players design their homeworld , the doom...

My players have been looking for it since book 6. I used some of Arkwirghts hand outs for the Symposium and missed that Iretha Ket had been included as a Life/Death plane with an affinity for spontaneous musical numbers. Since they learned about it the players particularly Manuel's player have...

This week and next week William's player is on holiday. Discussion with Catahoula, the wondering drum major and mage of Iretha Ket, he explained in a musical number (No Actual Music was hurt in the performance of this game session, I stayed well away from making any strange noises in case the...

I rather wish I could manage the same detail of write up but neither our play style or my writing ability are up to it.

An idea which came to me while sorting out the rest of my players time in the Gyre is using the Gyre as a campaign setting. It would be a post apocalypse or maybe Survival Horror setting with the characters coming from worlds newly arrived in the Gyre and trying to save either just themselves or...

I have just realised Hunslow gives me an excuse to use my favorite endgame monster of all time , the Nightwave. A flying Undead Shark which can follow you anywhere . All is it missing is Laser beams from its eyes, and mine will have those because it can.

After a discussion in Mondays game. Make clear to your players at the start of the campaign the standard D+D Cosmology (Outer planes, Inner planes, astral etc) either does not exist or is not accessible. My players are veterans of D+D campaigns with different gm's but the same basic cosmology...

They were suprised by the nature of Apet, the dust and walls of force made it a strange place, encountering the devolved Ghidim suprised them and the vision of the leech upon the Ghidim homeworld did not give them any ideas. They were able to reforge their Icon of Apet which now charged with Air...

This session did not deal with the events I orginally planned as it turns out William's player will probably be unavailable for the next two weeks so I pushed them towards meeting William Miller to get the revelations from that meeting out when everyone was present, they will deal with Mavisha...

My Vekeshi mystic did not get caught much up in the Vigilante side. She is an Eladrin and was much more interested in it as an insight into Eladrin culture and history. I did not tell her the true identities of any Vekeshi as whenever they meet they wear masks , so she had to deduce a couple. I...

My current thought is to have the grand master and probably one or 2 vizier Aboleths, then give him a psychically enslaved leader of each of several people's and a small population of each of these races as stasis sleeping slaves. If I had thought of this in time I could have had Eriana as...

The group set of to attack the Tower of Wax and then got distracted by talking. As they got near the tower the projection of the Savant addressed them, and started trying to get them to talk it was just stalling and trying to learn about them, when Manuel had an attack of honesty and told them...

My players today decided that with Han, Luke and Liea around that Aldabrann should really be in the Gyre somewhere, I am currently trying to resist the temptation to add it

I should have checked my timeline before suggestions

I did not run Bonds of forced faith but Asraby could work, besides the Unseen court he works for Kasavarina and he could have been sent along to try and further the Ob's goals. Depending what you are using the scenario for a Drakran Eschatologist could be a nice introduction or a Beran...

I think the highest number of women I have had in a gaming group was 3 women and either 3 or 4 men depending on the campaign , that was back in the 90's . Now my regular group is 4 Men and 1 Women It's impossibel to guess what any group of gamers is going to consist of and even more impossible...

I agree with Lylandra there should not be insurmoutable problems and I would have given the same advice. You will need to upgrade some of the combat encounters but if you had less characters which were highly optimised you would already have to anyway, I am having to. For most encounters you can...

My players were pleasently suprised that the Lich had already been sabotaged and by the Ob no less. They had been worried about him. I hadn't considered the gender mix of the Ob identities I suspect I would have done had I had more than one female player or pc. As it was they available npc's...
