One of the funniest/stupidest things I've seen came in a campaign a few years back. I was DM. The start of the campaign was less than heroic. The party is investigating the disappearance of a friend in a small town and stumble upon some cultists. They confront them in a warehouse and are forced...

Another epic fail from my group from 2nd Ed years. Mixed party, and the fighter/mage has an almost full Helm of Brilliance. Don't remember why or how, but he had it. Well, party is roughly 15th level and fighting the BBEG at the end of the adventure. Some over powered Ice Devil, if I remember...

Back in 2ed days, I was running H1 BloodStone Pass at the group's insistence. Since they were high level, the player playing the mage requested that his Staff of the Magi be a brooch instead. Since we started the characters at 18th level, I allowed that he had "created" it himself. We also had...

You know, from a DM point of view, having "consistency" from one campaign to another certainly makes it easier to plan out a campaign. For example, in my group, I have the following players: J - no matter what he plays, and it's usually a thief or fighter type, he always maxes out his fighting...

For me, it is not an issue. But, my players have slightly different versions of "lack of creativity". I find it all boils down to their personality. Some people can make stuff up easily, others can not, so they go with what they know. If that means they copy a favourite character in a comic...

Great information and ideas. Many thanks, to everyone!

GS - good advice. I am emailing the group and trying to suss out their ideas, wants and goals in the upcoming campaign. So far, I'm not getting much in response, which leads me to believe it will be a "small e" evil campaign (or, more of a selfish neutral, as you put it). I have no plans on...

I know threads like this have been posted before, but I can't seem to find any at the moment (my google-fu is weak). My group wants to start an evil campaign, with me running it. I'm okay with that, and have implemented some house rules ahead of time to try and keep things under control (ie...

I played 3rd edition for a while with my regular gaming group. I loved the game, but not everyone did, which is why it fell to the wayside. I loved playing Skaven. Another guy had a team of Dwarves. When we played against each other, I always won. Although I couldn't do much in the way of...

Turns out he is. When he first created the character, he was talking about the Eldritch Spear, and it was then assumed that he had taken that Invocation. Turns out the adage about assumptions played true yet again. :erm::blush:

Greetings all. I'm playing in a campaign with a large party. We have the following, all around 4th level: Sorcerer Cleric 2x Barbarian Thief Warlock The player for the warlock plays his eldritch blast in a way that seems to be against the RAW (in my opinion). The DM allows it, but it seems a...

Any luck, Ditto? I live in the area, and am interested in finding a new group as well. I am part of an ongoing group, but we only get together every 6 weeks or so, and I'm looking to fill the gap with something a little more frequently.

I've met Ed Greenwood a couple of times at a local convention. I had dinner with him (the perks of running the con!) and he's signed all my D&D books that he had anything to do with. He's a really nice guy, and definitely shows where "Elminister" gets his personality traits from! :lol:

In our games, we house ruled the massive damage as follows: If any one hit (spell, weapon, etc) does 50% or more damage than your total full hit points, you have to roll a DC save, where the DC is your Con score. So, Del the fighter has 90 hit points when fully rested/healed. In the next...

Our group has the 4 Munchkin sets for the original set. None of the Cthulu or SuperHeros or other variations. We have fun playing it, but we only play 1 or 2 games every few weeks, just as a break from RPGs. Yeah, the jokes get lame after the 5th viewing, but you actually can create some good...

My wizard has memorized Benign Transposition and Baleful Transposition (both from Spell Compendium). When a party member is in dire need of healing, and can't get out of battle, imagine the enemy orc's surprise when he swings where the human fighter was and misses because the fighter has now...

I'm currently playing a Necromancer in our game. I made sure to get a familiar at first level, and the DM was willing to let me choose a ferret. That ferret has saved a number of character lives already. 1st level spell, Benign Transposition, works really well with a familiar. Fighter about to...

HOPPY Hallowe'en! :p :lol: :heh:

The spell "Benign Transposition" has a target selection of "Two willing characters" and a save of "None". Now, if a front line fighter goes unconcious during battle, and the cleric volunteers to be transposed in order for the mage to help stabilize the fighter, would the fighter be considered...

The module provides many options for roleplay interaction with the NPCs. Many encounters can be negotiated through. Others, however, can only be completed by defeating your opponents. You may want your players to be 4/5th level. They can, however, run from most encounters if necessary.
