    Pathfinder 1E I'd like to change some of the rule set. Need advice.

    I don't have a group I'm DM'ing yet and I wouldn't just drop this on them. This thing would be a work in progress, which is why I came here looking for anything you all might find might come up at some point. We would all agree to the rules before I would even want to DM thing thing. The...

    Pathfinder 1E I'd like to change some of the rule set. Need advice.

    I've been playing with power player min-max'ers and I'll be honest I'm not that kind of player. It semi ruins my game and meh. So I've read about Dungeon World being an interesting system and I checked it out and I'm wondering how I might be able to apply that die system to a pathfinder game...

    Need help fleshing out a long campaign idea

Guy in party is given a house by relative out in the wilds Party heads to semi-nearby town Party hears of and...

    Reading & Running old D&D adventure/delves... Am I missing something?

    Can I ask for just a brief summary of what you changed? It was late at night when I got to the secret history of the temple and it was just to much. I read a post on critical hits that they'd make the elementals be conflicting with each other and gave them goals they'd play to. I like the...

    Reading & Running old D&D adventure/delves... Am I missing something?

    You have peaked my interest sir. I am trying to think of ways to add RP and intrigue value in town. Maybe some Strahd spies? And some involvement with that ghost train that goes from the graveyard to the tower. That element is cool but what can I do with it? One of the ghosts is.. someone...

    Reading & Running old D&D adventure/delves... Am I missing something?

    Me personally? I actually find the plot of LotR boring. What I want out of my game is a DM with true imagination that is twisted and doesn't fear involving other planes. I'm a fan of Planescape and I love the exploration and micromanagement of running a thieves guild or some such while...

    Reading & Running old D&D adventure/delves... Am I missing something?

    Yikes. I didn't know this would get such a response but I appreciate it all. I'm not really that scared of fleshing out a story with given pieces I more or less just wanted to know if thats how they wrote these things back in the day and thats fine. I haven't read any new campaign books so I...

    Reading & Running old D&D adventure/delves... Am I missing something?

    So I only have used the pathfinder system and only started playing a year ago or so. I have not read any campaign books really. I am wanting to run something though and have an interest in running Castle Ravenloft and Temple of Elemental Evil. Now, my main question is these books seem to just...

    Things to do in a tabletop rpg that are not combat related?

    I just wanted to say thanks again for all the feedback I've gotten. You've given me food for thought and I bow to your creativity. I'm just currently a player right now and prefer the RP mystery side and wouldn't mind playing an intrigue or plot heavy thing because as it sits I just follow...

    Things to do in a tabletop rpg that are not combat related?

    The Skill Challenges are more along the lines of what I was looking for. Something not combat related the the PC's can still do. A lot of you spoke about running mysteries and stuff but I asked more specifically about how to run something like a tournment that the PC's attend. Say the...

    Things to do in a tabletop rpg that are not combat related?

    I tried to find the book but couldn't. Will have to look some more later. My question now is HOW do you run the festivals? Like a test of strength, do you narrate whats going on and they input some or do you have them roll things and compete against others? Like a mage duel, would you have...

    Things to do in a tabletop rpg that are not combat related?

    So I'm still new to the whole table top RPG thing. I've been playing for under a year and we currently play Pathfinder. I've only played 1 home brew campaign that teetered off, part of Rappan Athuk before we got sick of the player killer DM and having to reroll a new PC every other session and...
