    Tips for a fledgling DM?

    I think lots of people are going to disagree with me but: 1. Run a module the first two to five times. 2. Start the PCs at first level - it makes running the monsters simple. 3. If someone in the group knows the rules better than you, that's okay, just use them like a refernece librarian.

    Who has the best call-sign? Who has the best Avatar?

    I nominate both of mine for being the most literal. I can't believe I've been posting here for two years and only figured out how to put up an avatar tonight. That's a history major for you.

    Need a con within 6 hours of Little Rock

    Rockcon was lots of fun. It was my first con but it seemed reasonably well organized and anyone looking for a game found one. If you're close to Little Rock you should check it out next year. They don;t have much info up on their website for thi year yet but here's the link. www.rockon.org

    Metamagic feats for a first time wizard player

    ditto What smetzger said. I assume you are at 5th level so I'd say for your sixth level character feat take spell penetration. Creatures with SR are just around the corner for your party.

    [FR] Need advice - new type of undead for my campaign

    In several months my players will finish RttToEE and move on to do what they've been wanting to do for some time now - go kill a bunch of Zhentarim. This is a side plot IMC that is about to evolve into the main story. A powerful merchant in Baldur's Gate had aquired an small force of very...

    Tips on playing a Barbarian for the first time

    ha! HA!:D I laughed out loud. Conan is THE barbarian. BTW, my group often plays to the soundtrack to Conan the Barbarian. I find it makes them do reckless things. If you are going to play a barbarian, go buy this album and play it. Its a soundtrack for cutting off orc heads if there...

    Tips on playing a Barbarian for the first time

    To offer some practical advice - keep a chart! Seriously, your strength is likely to vary a lot from moment to moment. Once someone can cast Bull Str on you, your Str will be increasing by 2-5 points per day. Then you'll rage sometimes and that will stack with the 2-5 points from Bull' Str...

    Tell me about the Zhentarim [FR]

    some spoilers here for RttToEE... . . . . . . . . . . I put the adventure down in the Western Heartlands. Its been some time since I looked at my map but Hommlet is on a minor trade route near Triel (sp?) and the Temple of All Consumption is in the Serpent Hills, about three day's ride north...

    Tell me about the Zhentarim [FR]

    Okay, I own (and love) Lords of Darkness and the FRCS. Right now I'm running RttToEE in the FR with a Zhentarim sub-plot. It is likely that this sub-plot will develop into the next adventure - with the PCs being somewhere in the 13th-16th level range. So, now that I know the official...

    Lawful != Law-Abiding?

    yep As a DM I try to let player define their own alignments as much as possible. I have on one occasion stepped in a said "Nope. that's not Lawful Good." But one time in seven years of play isn't bad. Possible lawful beings include - sherriffs and constables, city atch guards, paladins and...

    [d20 Modern/ Forgotten Realms] FR DR 3000!

    off the top of MY head First I would see if your fellow players are as enthusiastic as you. If they are, then put them to work! Ask them what they envision in the Forgotten Realms of DR 3000. Here's what I might do, in no certain order. 1. Elminster and other great heroes (Khelben, Drizzt...

    [RttToEE] Almost a TPK tonight...

    yep I'm running my group through RttToEE right now - we're at level 9. So far, each and every player has suffered at least one character death and the strange thing is that no one seems to mind [previously PC deaths had been rare]. Gotta say I love this mod and my players are having a good time.

    PC knowledge of Monsters?

    Trolls - PC's know about Fire and Trolls. Its part of the tales that parents of all races tell their children. PC's know Medusae turn people to stone and they know which color dragons breathe what. They don't know what a Destachan is unless they have a reason to. They don't know about...

    [RttToEE]Does anyone ever wonder...

    but... All mods authors assume that the DM will alter the adventure to make it more fun. In my very humble opinon if you aren't having fun it is not the fault of this module. I don't say this to start a flame war but only to point out that after the 8th character death or so your DM should...

    [RttToEE]Does anyone ever wonder...

    me gusta Minor spoilers - - - - - - - Lets see, I've been running this thing since July, once a week. So far, every player has had one character death but my group doesn't seem to mind because they love this adventure. We did add in a short adventure from Dungeon Magazine to break up the...
