For session 27 of my ongoing campaign Collapse Under the Empire, I've decided to do something a little different. And I need your help. First, a quick rundown of the immediate story. The party finds themselves walking through the Vestra Steppes on their way to the majestic city of Vestral. A...

I was wondering what kind of XP you folks hand out for minor quest completion. I can never seem to get it right. As I understand it, the XP should equal that of a monster of that quests level. So...if the party completes the minor quest they get 250xp divided up evenly? That doesn't seem like...

This is a shot in the dark but the community here never ceases to amaze me. I was looking through either Adventure Vault 1 or 2 and came across an item (I cannot remember whether it was wondrous item, armor, weapon etc) that had the word "acorn" in the description. Again, I'm asking a lot...

I'm a fairly forgiving GM. I'm not afraid of saying "yes". Evidenced by the fact that the bard I'm going to be talking about double 20'd a Godling and outright slayed him derailing the story for that night. Things happen and good GMs can make stuff up on the fly when something like that happens...

Backstory: The party had been tasked with seeking out a man name Trassis and his 4,000 strong army of elite guards. Trassis lived about 12,000 years ago and had tons of experience fighting the demonic horde of Gharzim and their cast out God S'Balic. We are on week 18 and there have been some...

We're on session 18 of our campaign and I thought it'd be a good idea to let the players play a different character every so often. So, I came up with the idea of letting them roll other characters/classes for a mini-campaign that takes place the same night the adventurers met up. I thought this...

Think Princess Mononoke. One of my party members has an afflicted arm. A creeping black disease crawls up from his hand all the way to his shoulder. It's extremely painful when it flares up. Almost to the point where he will buckle over in pain, having to stifle his screams. How would you...

I'm throwing Lurg the Brawler at my group as we speak. They've been fighting and helping a resistance take back their town for basically 6 hours straight. They have had absolutely no rests. One guy is bloodied. Wish them luck!

Are there any Steven Erikson fans here? I'm on book 9. The 10th and final book is incoming. I've read dozens and dozens of fantasy series, and The Malazan Book of the Fallen is, by far, the most genius, thought provoking, beautifully written adult high fantasy series I've ever had the pleasure...

My gaming group and I have decided that we want to dedicate some of our Saturday nights to drinks, food and tile/landscape/wall building. We began looking around and found Hirst Arts all over the internet. But, non of us could really justify spending $35 on one mold. Not to mention that we'd...

My forte is storytelling. Coming up with puzzles and traps isn't something I'm too keen on. This is possibly because I'm not very good at puzzles in real life. Get me in front of a Cryptogram and I turn into mush. I've done some research online for some good infodumps on these two items but...

Personally, I find going by the book ridiculous. Feywild. Deva. Half-elf. The pantheon. I make it my own. For instance, Deva are called Aliunde and I altered their history a lot from what WOTC gave us. Elves are called Nineviil in my world and there are 4 strains. About 80% of the races in the...

Been lurking around here for awhile and I must say that a lot of you have helped me greatly over the past months! So..thanks for that. I've always been a player and never a GM. When I decided to tackle 4e and take on a group of 5 hardened veterans I didn't quite know what I was getting myself...
