    Ugh! Got stuck extra late at work. I posted, but am very disappointed with it! Better than nothing, though. :)

    Iron DM 2010: All Submissions and Judgments

    A Gala For Geyron This is an adventure for low/mid-level characters (4th - 6th). It is set in the world of Golarion, but is easily adaptable to any setting. Simply select a location that is likely to possess a debauched nobility in a place that caters to the exotic and taboo, as well as an...

    What book best covers Thay and the Red Wizards?

    The 3e Lords of Darkness also has a fair amount of stuff on the Red Wizards, but not Thay in general.

    Surely there's somebody else out there interested? :( I dont smell (that) bad. Honest!

    Module-writing: the proper ingredients

    One thing I value in modules is when they include multiple solutions to a single problem, and providing possible/likely ways to deal with the challenges, or side bars with information like "What if my PCs do X instead of Y?" Always helpful, gives the feeling of more forethought, and shows how to...

    I need a city - looking for product recommendations

    Riedran cities are going to be so far out of the norm, I dont see how mining any typical fantasty city is going to work, given the whole psionic totalitarian regimen and brainwashed general populace angle. I think your best bet would just be using one of the cities already modeled in Secrets of...

    Running NPCs as a long-term party/team member

    It might seem a little video game-y to some people, but in the current game I run (3 PCs), there are a plethora of NPCs that are available to accompany them on their journeys in my sandbox. By now they are acquainted with most of them and their personalities. The PCs have a stack of index cards...

    NPC "Personality Types" You Love?

    The Femme Fatale. Classic. The low-Cha super-arrogant jerk that's not necessarily Evil (similiar to what weem said, walking that fine line) The ruthlessly efficient, non-evil mercenary that always seems to pop up at the worst of times. The blinded-to-the-truth idealist that thinks they are...

    Your favorite in-game D&D organization

    Eberron - The Red Gauntlet - An elite mercenary group of irregulars that served in the Last War... just great flavor and plot potentials. Forgotten Realms - The Eldreth Veluuthra - Elves that dont just think they're better than everyone else, they do something about it. Golarion - The Church...

    D&D 3.5 - Looking for good non-dungeoncrawling adventures

    I'll toss in The Prince of Redhand. Fairly specific to the greater context of the Adventure Path, but awesome for being a high(er) level, non-dungeon adventure. Great for mining ideas, imo.

    Which "new" adventures are classics?

    All mine have been said before, but here they are: The Red Hand of Doom Lost City of Barakus Vault of Larin Karr Age of Worms/Whispering Cairn I'm really curious about some of the others that are being mentioned which Ive never had the honor of seeing... Crucible of Freya, Rappan Athuk...

    Scenes, Music, and Bonuses

    Very interesting idea! But I'm just curious, do you loop the music? If not, a song would rarely be more than a few people's turns. At higher levels, just a single player's. If so, doesn't it get INCREDIBLY annoying after listening to the same song for over an hour?

    Random Background - Fair? Good?

    My only thought is why? What would it bring to the game, and add to it?

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder Do's and Don'ts

    As Nova Lord said, Do read all the rules. Especially spells and magic items. Quite a few things have sneaked up on me. And I would say Do allow feats from other sources. Class power levels and race power levels might need some tweaking, but the power of the average feat doesnt seem to have...

    Where are the campaign specific weapons?

    They're all in the Pathfinder Campaign Setting, which, while 3.5, Paizo still uses in an "official" capacity. The PCS will eventually be updated to PFRPG and expanded, and they might be in the Adventurer's Armory book due out late May, but until then that's all you've got.

    So a Ranger and his bear walk into a tavern...

    Both the campaigns I regularly play in are "high fantasy", so this isn't so much an issue. I wouldn't say they are the "cantina" environments that many people belittle, but human commoners by and large know the world is a vast and vibrant place, with men who can summon angels, gods who walk...

    Don't Forget the Excitement (when DM-ing)

    As a DM, that's my biggest fear - not selling the awesome. I am curious to hear from other people what, exactly, you do to amp it up? How are you translating that excitement into something your players can see and draw off of?
