I had at one point thought of doing an RPGA home campaign since I have an as of yet unused Herald DM membership, but unfortunately, my group consists of 3 players + 1 DM (moi), which I believe disqualifies us for RPGA games at this time.

The average of about 1 combat encounter per hour. The first hour or so of the session is the usual socializing, re-capping, etc. I'm currently running Rescue at Rivenroar. The group has just made it to Castle Rivenroar (the main dungeon of the adventure) after two sessions. The plan is to...

My current group meets about once a month for a 4-5 hour session. While I'm thankful that I can have a D&D campaign at all, I've come to the realization that at this rate it will take us half a year or so just to finish one published adventure. This can sometimes feel unsatisfying for a DM...

Joy! I definitely want to play this.

If you have a home town but no actual home, you might be an adventurer...or a hobo. If your idea of "roughing it" is sleeping without armor on, you might be an adventurer. If you called off your engagement because you needed the the diamond ring to raise you from the dead, you might be an...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "typo". While I could see a Torm/Amaunator alliance, a Tormish theocracy where a miniature sun called "Amunator's Gift" floats above the capital city and whose paladins are described as "sun-blazoned" doesn't really make sense to me.

That's what bothers me. There's really no information on how the church transitioned at all. Poof! A heretical priest makes his very own magical sun and suddenly the whole church is behind him? I don't buy it. The power of miracles and 100 years' time aside, I think there still have to be...

A player in my campaign wanted to play a "Sun" cleric, but didn't like the info on Amaunator (too strict). It really made me think about all those clerics of Lathander. I don't think the news went over well with them since the Amaunatori used to be a heretical sect. I figure there has to be a...

Disclamer: This not only a tasteless mock of "farewell" threads but also, I'm sad to say, a gross caricature of honest feelings :) As this is a public forum for individual expression, I wish to gush about my love and support for the current edition of the World's Most Popular Roleplaying Game...

NOOOooo...!!!

I think comparing 4E FR to previous settings out there is a bit unfair. I would argue that 4E FR and previous campaign settings have had very different design goals. It seems to me 4E FR is a move towards a not so new paradigm where macrocosmal campaign settings take second place to the...

Just got the book yesterday afternoon :) At first glance: Pros: - Newness! The setting seems more digestible now, and it smells like teen spirit. As in: it reminds me of when I first got the old Gray Box. - Map! The map is pretty and still looks like the Realms, despite changes. -...

I'd also like a path summary. After skimming through the second adventure, it seems that there is little or no apparent link to the first adventure. OTOH, this may be a good thing since I can probably insert other adventures and come back to the adventure path at my leisure.

I'm not going because I've already been there twice... ...that and I haven't built up enough vacation time in my job :( I console myself with the notion that if I go too many times, it will lose its magic, kind of like Disney World :)

Less than half the cost of my Netflix account? More than twice the entertainment value? Mr. Kool Aid, feel free to break through my firewall. "Oh Yeah!"

I discovered D&D on my own. I already loved Nintendo fantasy games like Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy, and Legend of Zelda. I got the 1990's Basic Game at Toys R Us and devoured it at home that evening. I later introduced my friends to it, kind of like Moses with the Ten Commandments...

This. Although I'm saddened that I won't be seeing 4E product from these very fine companies, it won't stop me from enjoying the latest version of my favorite roleplaying game. Their loss. It's really sad all around. I respect their decision to not go with the GSL, and wish it could all have...

Change of pace and to re-train the unused "adventure muscles", especially since the new edition makes writing encounters easier. I have Rescue at Rivenroar as an utter last resort, but I think I might be able to cook something up with some of these fine suggestions. Thanks ppl!

Some of the ideas that were kicking around in my head: - The PCs wash up on a mysterious island. This is actually the infamous Isle of Dread re-imagined with some stuff from Eberron's Xendrik, Hollow World, and Palladium RPG's Yin Sloth Jungles. - The PCs wake up in a crypt with no memories...
