This Sword for Hire -a largish group of mercenary adventurers (9 PCs at one point), named by the large and loud half orc barbarian. Shadowsbane-group of less than lawful adventurers ona quest to destroy an evil artifact. Chosen after much arguing by me, the party leader. Champions of...

That's true she might be a threat to Xykon. More than Soon. She'd still end up dead most likely. And that's not a bad feeling. I mean it doesn't make things worse.

So how do people think Miko is going to mess this up? Destroy the portal (probably the best choice), fight Xykon (and die), fight ghost Soon (and likely be ineffective), stab paralyzed guy (but he is pretty doomed anyway, Lich paralysis is permanant until dispelled), or...what. I'm not getting...

Here's a story from a game I DMed One time a party learned an enemy of theirs was having supplies shipped in. The shipment was being brought in by some smugglers and being picked up by a criminal gang called the Blackwaters. When the PCs arrived they were just unloading. With no superiors in...

I've done it. Usually for things that are important storywise (death of a king, animating the dragon's graveyard, sending minions for relics/assassinations) but which don't give the PCs anything they might be tempted to use. Most of it is things they would have heard of anyway through rumors...

I once used an advanced half illithid chaosomaton (basically a machine version of the creature from Chaositech) roper (well actually Urophion which is a half illithid roper from Lords of Madness). Basically a metal pillar with tentacles. Oh and it was load bearing. Maybe use half earth...

As a DM I have given out an some artifacts before: . staff of the power that was intelligent and regenerated charges (very very slowly) +6 keen great axe that did +2d6 fire or electricity (chosen when drawn) plus some sun related spells used 1/day . An orb (2nd Ed) that create disasters...

I'd love to play for years and years but I also like there to be a final climatic ending. So I'm sort of torn. As it is I never get to have the first one and rarely the second so it doesn't much matter. As a DM I always provide the second but I'm trying to do the first.

I fit the first option. Though I'm losing half of my paper subscriptions like many of us. I also pay for pyramid which works out to a good deal. For substantially less than an issue of Dragon I get nearly as much entertainment and useful material per month. (Then again you should realize I...

Ran an Arcana Evolved game from 1st to 20th. It held up pretty well, much better than my 3.0 1st to 20th game. Mainly I think the effect was the more balanced magic system. As for complexity, it is more complex to run a high level game but I tend to use reoccuring villians a lot at high level...

I was using the rules in a campaign a few years ago but it died before any PCs got a chance to use them. I also played 2 sessions in a Ghostwalk game but again never used any of the rules.

The craziest combat action I've seen involves a lot of the elements already on this thread. High level rogue uses a scroll of Otto's Irresitstable Dance on a Very Old Green Dragon. Then jumps on top of it and squirms down its throat. Drops a half dozen Quaal Feather Token : Trees. Splat...

I'm not sure I've ever done "you all meet in a tavern" at least in a game I ran. Some previous ideas (not all of which I had a hand in setting up): Military: everyone is in the army (also helpful for steering early plots). Childhood Friends: When you only have 50 to 400 people to talk to...

hmm, weird I've had a similar problem in my game with a problem player. Somewhat unbalanced mentally, ALWAYS plays a paladin (even though he was incompetent at it), very religious. I blame it on the unbalanced mind myself, probably looking for a way to be special and to have purpose. I still...

2 campaigns 1st to 20th (well actually most of the players hit 21st at the end of the second campaign). Both took about year or so of play time. I don't really have problem with high level games assuming there is a plot (which for me there always is).

I used Europe once as the basis for my campaign. I did a rough hand drawn map, tossed a desert across Eastern Europe and mountain range between "Germany" and "France". The players took forever to figure it out, even with Byzantium in the SE corner and a land filled with French sounding names...

one more Demon infused greater fire elemental fighter (with 3.0 haste)

Concepts Here are some I've used in the past: The Big Bad Wolf: Half Fiend Worg Cleric Human Alien Hybrid: Half Farspawn Human Psion Demon Octopus: Vampire Advanced Octopus (maybe add Druid or Barbarian Levels) STD: Gravetouch Ghoul Succubus Rogue Disembodied organs: Swarmform (organs) Brain...

Same thing here. No clue what's up.

hmmm I suspect AE is not what she is looking for (though I have found it to be a wonderful magic system). I'll run that and psionics past her. My recollection of Ars Magica is somewhat foggy, I'll have to look over my copy. I did notice someone trying to do d20 conversion, didn't look at it...
