    Just got my copy of Dread

    I have a question for all you Dread experts. Have any run an investigative-style horror game using Dread. Something akin to The Ring with multiple venues and a string of clues which result in a final showdown? Most of the examples I have seen really focus on physical isolation and wondered...

    Just got my copy of Dread

    I'd love to provide this. What should this product have in order to best suit your needs? Adventure seeds? Sample questionnaires? Examples of play? Hi there. Well for me it would be adventure seeds to give me a ssemblance of an innovative idea which I could flesh out as needed. It wouldn't...

    Just got my copy of Dread

    Sounds like an awesome game and scenario. Piratecat and others, I would love to hear a synopsis of the scenario and how it played out differently from one session to the next. In general I love the concept of Dread, however I would love it more if there were supporting resources. For me its...

    Enlarge Person and Reach Weapons

    Hi Everyone. Two quick questions for you all. I'm trying to figure out reach with a reach weapon (i.e. spiked chain) while under the influence of Enlarge person. I believe it essentially doubles weapon sizes but I am not sure it does those or just increases 5' I checked the spell, and all...

    Being Prone

    Thanks for the responses. Another question. Let's say the spiked chain wielder with Improved Disarm and Improved Trip trips a foe. Then the next round the SC wielder tries to Disarm. What bonuses would the wielder get over the prone opponent. Since Disarm is opposing attack rolls, the...

    Being Prone

    Thanks Iko. Why should I read when I have experts like you at my beckon call on these boards. ;) So it seems like this is a pretty powerful combat manuever. Are there ways to thwart Trip attacks?

    Being Prone

    Hi Grymhammer, thanks for the message. Fate? Hmmm, perhaps although you sound busy with two other campaigns. Also we play Sunday evenings as opposed to Friday evenings.

    And now a taste of things to come....

    Pcat, you are a genius. Its a great way foreshadow and bring alive a campaign as well as let the players know the world is dynamic. I DM a low-level game and I use a number of published scenarios. Often times there are some great backstories about a dungeon or the history of a specific...

    And now a taste of things to come....

    These are some great ideas to start a session. Pcat, do you just mention the quote or do you also mention the names of the NPC or adversary? Taking your example how did those quotes align with the events of the session? Typically, I ask a player to briefly summarize the previous session to...

    The two week obligatory bump...... It seems like the Metro Detroit area may not be such a hotbed of roleplaying activity which I initially thought or at least a hotbed of activity on Enworld. Can anyone shed any light? Tell you what even if you are not interested in my game or simply live too...

Currently I am running Shackled City and the group is starting the 3rd adventure (4th lvl characters). We play...
