My group's about to confront the beholder in the far realmed up watchtower and assuming they win, the watchtower reverts to normal and the adventure presents a skill challenge/combat encounter in which the PCs join mercenaries to defend it from the orc forces. Which is all well and good and a...

Well, just to reassure you, I am qualified to say that I know her very well, and know that there was no actual harm done. For her seeing that was the equivalent of the other player seeing the optical illusion. Just a brief mind screw.

That went ridiculously well. Their earlier non-far realm encounter went long so we didn't get to devote a ton of time to the far realm part, which I think helped it out. The PCs got drawn into a portal where they had to skill challenge and page 42 in order to find each other before they could...

Tomorrow night the groups going to deal with a beholder and some other eldrich beasties while they try to stop a Far Realms incursion. Any ideas on interesting window dressing, terrain, or messing with the laws of physics I can toss in to remind everyone that this isn't a normal encounter...

Hey all. Have a session tonight . I've got a general idea of what I need to have revealed to them, but I'm not sure on the best way. The TLDR of where the campaign is, is that they've just finished killing a necromancer and high priest of Orcus, as well as driving off a reduced-power aspect of...

This post should catch up to the present so I can start a new thread for what’s going forward. We did the final two battles in the Keep (now in the Caves of Chaos) in one marathon session. I threw in a de-leveled Aspect of Orcus in the final battle. I used a hell of a lot of props and tiles...

So in the mentioned Sir Keegan adventure, the girl who played the Tiefling Paladin couldn’t make it, so we worked out the following bit with her character ahead of time, which would give an in-story opportunity to redo her character as a hybrid, as she was unhappy with her character as it was...

Critical Hits is pretty good The Angry DM is hit or miss Playing D&D with pornstars is exactly what it says it is and is always fun. It's not strictly 4E, but it has a bunch of insightful stuff

Hi there! Remember me? :) This post is cross posted over at RPG.net, so some parts are retelling some earlier content from this thread just so ya know. So, we've been a busy gaming group since the last post, and finally finished the Keep adventure and are moving on. I'll be starting another...

It's baffling a number of us over there as well. :)

But I wanna start complaining about Golden Wyvern Aspect now! ;)

OK, so the dimentional rifts from before in the campaign actually summoned part of the Caves of Chaos to the area under the Keep. Still working on the specifics.

More details later, but the party with the addition of the new girl is mind-bogglingly good at what they do. Therefore I am abandoning all pretense of sticking close to the adventure as written and transforming it into a nightmarish version of the Temple of Evil Chaos from Keep on the...

Last session was fun for the players. The new girl set a record for figuring out what her character can do and blasted and stabbed her way through the initial guard room. In the torture room I added a bunch of skeleton minions who were victims of the gimp brothers. (I added a 2nd torturer)...

Adapting the Keep itself is rapidly becoming my least favorite part of this whole thing. The keep part is terribly designed, as has been noted elsewhere. The PCs cleared out an adapted guard room and torchure chamber and next time will either go to Balgron's lair, (who I've upgrated to be a...

The tiefling in our party picked up the halfling and tossed her at a dying character. The halfling then used her readied action to administer a potion to said character and then dropped an action point to kings castle.

The degree in which this is true really can't be overstated. In last night's game, two players had to cancel at the last minute (like almost literally) and so suddenly instead of 6 PCs going against a death cult I had 4 going against, well who knows? When they wound up going in a completely...

Oh right. Also, no idea. Working on it :p I really really like this idea. I think I'll combine it somehow with the ghost of the knight for effect. And the gelatinous cube.

Btw, I really like the 'ticking hourglass' set at times. That's a nice touch; I'll have to use that. Oh right, the cauldron. I added a bit where Bairwin was buying flowers from that hippie elf chick from Winterhaven who was finding them around the keep. I stole from somewhere the idea that...

Had a new player join the group. (6 players now. 4 women, 2 men. All playing female characters. In your face, demographics!) The new girl's Dragonborn fighter was to be the star of the episode, but then she had to cancel at the last minute, as did another player, so suddenly I had 4 players...
