I'm looking for a good adventure for a 10th level party. Nothing too long, and not a dungeon crawl. You guys have always come through for me in the past, so I trust your opinion!

I'm just wondering if anyone is aware of any alternatives (either currently available or in the works) to D&D miniatures..ie, cheap, plastic, pre-painted minis for fantasy gaming. It seems like, at least I'm hoping, that the laws of a competitive market would dictate that someone should be...

I'm running a one-on-one Savage Tide campaign. The central character is a Swashbuckler, and I'd like to give her the ultimate weapon for her character. What I have so far is this: A magic Elven Thinblade. A good start, but hardly awe-inspiring. I want the weapon to grow with the character, and...

I'm designing an old-fashioned, straight-from-the-phb specialist wizard for the new adventure path. I've never done a 1 to 20 character, so I'd like to recruit your help. What's your favorite specialization and why? What schools do you drop? Hit me with your best wizardly ideas, from schools...

I have the core element of an upcoming one-on-one campaign in my head, and I want your help in fleshing it out. This is going to be an urban based campaign, set in a low-magic(read: Grim Tales) world with some dark themes. The city in which the campaign takes place is Lustmord, the largest...

I'm adding a unique piece of terrain to my gameworld. Essentially, an entire sub-continent is seperated by the rest of the campaign world by a massive, wall-like cliff. The reason for this element is that the world itself (a sentient being) created it to segregate a portion of humanity from the...

I'm looking to add a bit of fairy mystique to my game. Not the pretty little half-dressed ones that lounge on toadstools and play the flute, mind you, I want something dark and scary. I want fey that the denizens of the campaign world genuinely fear. If you know of any books you'd recommend...

I recently decided to start up a Thieves World campaign using the GT ruleset. After doing some initial research and reading on the setting, I sat down to, you know, do some actual work on the game. Reaching over to the bookshelf to grab my trusty GT tome I noticed something very peculiar: it...

I purchased Grim Tales some time ago, read it, fell in love with it, and for reasons unknown set it on my shelf and haven't looked at it since. Now I'm thinking of starting a one-on-one low magic, high-intrigue campaign with my wife and am looking for campaign suggestions. The only prereqs are...

I'm interested in the structure of a Lawful organization such as the Church of Heironeous. I imagine that it is very tightly defined with different orders for Paladins, Clerics, and other members of the church. Members within each Order of the Church would be identified by rank and title, with a...

The Devil Box Session I Of carnivals and kobolds Years ago two children, a wiry girl named Gwennid and a dull-witted yet loyal half-orc named Hulgor, talked of adventure. As the years passed by, the talk didn’t fade as plans that children make often do. Instead, the plans solidified and took...

Greetings, I'm currently running a two-player Lost City of Barakus game with an emphasis on politics and intrigue. I've tried to involve the players in the political maneuvering of the city of Endhome, and so far, they love it. Currently, there are three powerful families that control the...

I'm looking for some good printable adventure tiles for use in an upcoming modern game. Basic urban environment, and a subway if I can get it. Any recommendations?

One of the problems, at least to me, of the dungeon crawl, is how to reveal the dungeon to the players as they explore it. Letting the players map it out based on your description inevitably bogs the game down and leads to frustration for player and gm alike. Mapping it out in advance, even if...

My D&D group is about to find themselves transported east coast of the U.S. for a time. I've never run a crossover game like this before, and would like some input from players and GMs who have experienced either playing a standard d&d character in a modern setting (not to be confused with an...

In my area (Jacksonville, Fl), Grim Tales doesn't seem to be to popular. In fact, when I ordered it from my FLGS, the owner, a good friend of mine, hadn't heard of it. So, to spread the word of this great ruleset, I've decided to run a Grim Tales adventure when during the local con. I haven't...

I'm writing as a DM trying to inspire his players to develop their characters more fully. I have one player in particular who has trouble developing her characters, or finding a hook if you will, causing her to revert back to playing the same basic character over and over again. For example, in...

I'm adding mapping software to my list of time-wasting activities. Which one would you recommend?

Setting: d20 Modern, Shadow Chasers. The group has been sent to a small town to investigate some unusual happenings that may be related to a shadow event. Farmyard animals and small pets have been turning up dead, drained of blood, covered in hundreds of nickel-sized bite marks. The culprits...

Is anyone playing this? It seems to me like it's a dead setting, as I can't find anything on the Spycraft site (www.alderac.com ), and the latest update on the developer's site (www.mythicdreams.com) is from June of '04. What's the deal?
