    DM Obligations and Player Dynamics

    I think my following issue is something most DMs have faced from time to time, and I'd like to see how you dealt with it. I'm not enthusiastic with the game I'm currently running. I'm running Pathfinder's Crimson Throne AP, and while I like several aspects of it, I'm finding that having...

    Teen murdered - Bad press for local game store

    While I was watching the local news this morning a report came on that a teen had been stabbed to death in front of Lone Star Comics, a local game/comic shop in Plano. No real details, but one of those stories that makes you go "hmmm." They showed about ten seconds of video in front of the...

    Wired Blogger Recommends (old) RPGs

    I found this article today on Wired.com's Geek Dad Blog. Here's the intro: One of the aspects of my geekism, that I've never regretted, is my love for role-playing games. No, not MMORPGs. Not Playstation. Good ol' fashioned paper, pencil, and polyhedron dice role-playing games. Aside from the...

    Pesky Low-Light Vision Question

    [Doh! I intended this to go in the D&D Rules section. Could a board admin move it over there?] I've read through several threads on low-light vision rules but still need further clarification. In my current game my players have been adventuring in a pyramid and are preparing to enter into a...

While the module is aimed at 1st level, I've improved a few things to provide an adequate challenge...

    Eberron Campaign Setting now pdf

    I was making my morning rounds of RPG sites and noticed the Eberron Campaign Setting book is now available on RPGNow! I think this bodes well for GMs as the book itself is full of spoilers. When I ran an Eberron adventure a few years ago I didn't want to loan out the book to my players, for...

    Magical items for a 6th Level Cleric

    I'd like some input on a villain I'm going to pit against my players in a few weeks! (NOTE: If you're a player in our Fort Worth D&Ders group - keep out!) My players are about to reach 5th level and have been doing quite well in combat. I typically throw EL4 or EL5 so I've decided to give...

    Grim Advs. of Billy & Mandy meet....Lolth?

    I was watching the Fantastic Four cartoon last night (or was it Bobobo-bo Bobobo?) on Cartoon Network and saw an ad for "Billy & Mandy: Wrath of the Spider Queen" cartoon movie for July 6th. While it didn't mention Lolth by name, but it sure looked like her! Here's the Wikipedia page about it...

    Fantastic Four Extended Edition DVD

    After having been disappointed with the first-time DVD releases of Marvel movies, I've taken a "wait and see" approach. Waiting 9 to 12 months for the "extended" version now gets you actor/director commentary, more scenes and a second disc of goodies. I picked up the FF-Extended Edition...
