I chose "Other" Until recently, I had DM'd for 15 years straight. I finally told the group that someone else is going to have to run as I was burned out. I'm now in my second year as a player, and we've just started a second campaign run by a second DM. I'm enjoying my time as a player...

According to the module as written, there are three options for playing this module. 1) Long campaign. Start the players at about level 6 and they should be level 9/10 by the time they confront Strahd for the last time. 2) Short campaign. Start the players at about level 7/8. Again, they...

Yes, he has been updated to 3.5 as well.

They've been reduced to just 2 fire-breathing stone dragons now. But they appear to be a bit of a challenge, with claw and bite attacks in addition to their 4d8 fire breath. In the next room beyond are 4 gargoyles that join any battle in the entry, so it makes for a tough fight. I've been...

The Fortunes of Ravenloft have slightly expanded in that there are a few more locations for the various items to be located, based on the results of the cards. Instructions are provided for using cards from one of three decks - Three Dragon Ante, standard Tarot and standard poker decks. I have...

The maps are a mixture. There are full colour 3d maps that show the layout of the castle. They look very nice, but they are small (most being 1/3 of the page or smaller). For specific encounters, there are small maps on each page similar to those found in the miniatures game. These maps also...

They provide different stat blocks for his alternate forms, and information on how to modify the main stat block after the party completes a counter-ritual. Each ritual removes 1 CR from him. There are some stat modifications and immunities lost by each ritual. Each one does something slightly...

Strahd weighs in as a CR15. He's a Lvl 10 mage. They have changed him a bit in that he has "performed some rituals to tie him to three sacred sites, increasing his power". This means that the party can drop his CR by 3 points by performing counter-rituals at the three sacred sites. All in all...

Greetings all. I received my copy of Expedition to Castle Ravenloft two days ago and have been happily reading through it. I've seen mention in a couple of threads that people are waiting for it to be available for perusal before purchasing. I'd like to help those in need of information...

Greetings all. A bit of background here. I normally DM for the group. There are three original members of the group (including myself) whom have been gaming for 20 years together. 2 other members have been with us for about 6 years, and the newest member is the son of one of the founding three...

Plants the requested shrubbery and then plants a second in the shape of a former head of TSR (whom thought she was Lord Over All She Saw) and sets fire to this second shrubbery. Gets banned for making an obviously politically charged statement. :p

Denounces the imagery in the above post and loudly proclaims himself to be above feeding trolls. Then posts a diatribe about how DragonLance should be made the new core setting for 4th Ed.

Pops back in and quotes an irrelevant post from 2 pages ago. Rips the poster to shreds for their obvious stupidity. Of course, having completely mis-quoted the entire thing, is promptly flamed for being a moron himself. And increases his post count one more time, yet has not contributed much in...

Chants and performs dark rituals to complete the Thread Necromancy Ritual, restoring a pointless post to the front page. And also increases his tiny post count by yet one more. :p

Delurks long enough to increase his tiny post count by one, thus making himself feel more manly and studly, then wanders off to flaunt his newfound ego at someone else, before being slapped down and made to feel small again. Post Count Envy. It's a dirty little secret shame. :o

Especially when paired with his twin brother.

Back in the 2nd Ed days, we had a player, nicknamed "Runt", who could "curse" other people's dice. Not intentionally (although he did if you annoyed him), but any time he simply used someone else's dice, that person would consistently roll low for several days afterwards. Everyone, that is...

I don't go out of my way to get books signed. I happened to meet Ed Greenwood a few years back at a local con, and asked him if he wouldn't mind signing my books if I brought them in the next day. He graciously said that he would, and even hunted me down to do so, which I thought was very nice...

When I was dating my wife (obviously before we got married. :p ), I was gaming once a week, usually on a Sunday. She objected at first, until I started bringing her along on occasion. She never gamed, but she did hang out with the wife of the host. So it worked out. Over the intervening...

I used to volunteer for Pandamonium here in Toronto in the early-mid 1990s. I did it because I enjoyed running games. The benefits that were nice were a free t-shirt and free admission. I was allowed to play in any games that I wasn't already running (they would stagger start times for the same...
