I ran some skill challenges for my group last night, using the errata'd skill challenge DCs, but it seemed to both the players and I that the DCs were much too low. Ex: They were 3rd level, so according to errata, the DCs are Easy 5, Moderate 10, Hard 15. On a trained skill, assuming its a...

We played last night and the challenges went very well. They failed the Getting into the Zombie Mall with 2 successes to go, so I did a combat challenge, followed by a continuance of the challenge (keeping the tally of successes and resetting the failures). They managed to get inside with no...

Here's another part of the session that I came up with today: Destroying the Mall You must drive the propane truck into the garage, next to the boiler room, without stalling out or getting overwhelmed by zombies. There are three parts to the challenge. 1) You must get the truck running...

Updated version: Skill Challenge: Getting into the Mall Complexity: 5 (12 successes before 3 failures) Primary Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Diplomacy, Bluff, Stealth, Streetwise Other Skills: Perception Victory: The PCs manage to make their way into the mall, without the zombies getting in...

Excellent ideas. Thanks aco175 for some of the descriptors I can use for their actions. I'm mainly using my own limited experience around a mall (as a patron) so it helps to get some ideas from someone familiar with the inner workings. I'm going to try to incorporate the ideas you and...

Here's what I got so far: Thoughts? Skill Challenge: Getting into the Mall Complexity: 5 (12 successes before 3 failures) Primary Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Diplomacy, Bluff, Stealth, Streetwise Other Skills: Perception Victory: The PCs manage to make their way into the mall, without the...

I thought this would be a fun exercise, and would also give me some ideas for an upcoming session. Scenario: My PCs are trying to get into a Shadowfell version of the local shopping mall. They have just entered a gate hidden behind a Burger King, across the parking lot, facing the mall. The...

There's a magic item that lets you do this as an encounter power. Hand Slot Dwarven Throwers. (I think thats the name) Allows you to chuck a non-ranged weapon as a ranged basic attack, adding str mods like a Heavy Thrown Weapon.

This is the quote that I was using for inspiration: "This is our year, I'm telling you. Best football season ever. I'm so in shape, I'm a rock. It's all about egg whites. If we can focus, keep discipline, and not have quite as many mysterious deaths, Sunnydale is gonna *rule!* " I was going to...

The next campaign I'm going to run is based on the Whedonverse (Buffy/Angel). I'm going to be using 4e, with the heroic levels representing High School, Paragon levels representing College/Adult. The campaign idea is that the High School is a representation of Sigil, with the PCs weekly...

Coffee...everywhere. :D

I just downloaded the free version. Thanks for the heads up on this! Very cool.

Where were you when they had the campaign setting search? Dammit, who needs Eberron when you could have the Magical Land of Horny Princesses with +5 Holy Avengers who have a thing for Dragonborn women with Big Boobs? Ok...maybe that title is a bit long.

Personally, I would prefer that the rules don't explain everything that can be done in the world. I want a system with enough consistency that allows me to rule things quickly without having to look in the book. This is why 3e failed me. I don't want to have to spend 10 minutes scouring for a...

I love the idea of this system. Application of it will take some rethinking on my part, which will be the hard part. Giving up authorial control to the players will be hard for a lot of DMs. But in the end, I think it will make for a much more satisfying game...for the GM and the players.

:lol: Pathfinder for me. I'm running these currently and my group is having a helluva fun time with it.

Ran the first session of this last night. Went very well. The players loved the goblins. I had a little bit of a problem keeping the party in town, but they seemed to take it in stride. Got as far as the glassworks encounter. Great fun. One quote from the game: Player: "So what did the...

This is the part where the players starts screaming at the elf for not learning teleport.

All i want to know is how to get my group into the playtests.

Most likely. Looking at it as a seperate game than 3.5, which we might still play. Too early to tell really.
