I used the basis of them too for my own rewardcards. I'll post them in the purple cards thread soon, need to re-work the photoshop stuff though, cause lettering is too small currently, which causes bleeding. But yeah, thanks Weem!

So would you allow the bloodsucking ability on a bloodless creature, for example a skeleton, ooze, metal golem or wraith? How would that work storywise? The vampire would respectively suck bonemarrow, jello, oil or simply (dark) air? I do think it's a fun mechanic though. And the regen is...

Masterplan. Doesn't cost anything, tracks combat, plotpoints, skill challenges and shows everything I need to know on the fly. I wouldn't want to dm without it anymore. And the learning curve is way lower than you'd expect at first. I still don't understand why Wotc doesn't have their own...

How did you find the build of the room in G7: Death in the dark? I heard complaints that the room was too cramped, but maybe it's a good thing cause the creatures should stay close to the players? I left out the gameroom. Whilst I like the concept, it doesn't fit in my campaign - I seriously...

I love cards in the game, for the very simple reason that it makes it way easier for players to remember stuff. I use Weems condition cards so they know what's affecting them. I was working on a despair deck of my own, but stopped that the moment I heard this came out. I'll be picking it up as...

Thanks all for replying. Geldar, I had already found and read your blog, it was a valuable source of information! Now that you're running it for the second time, are there things you would change? I've already modified the mad wraiths in location 13 (replaced the wraiths with the monster...

Hi All, I'm (finally) going to run the Garden of Graves within two weeks. I've been reading up on what to look out for in this thread, newbiedm's blog and a blog on the wotc forums. Do people have more tips for me? I'd like to make this as awesome as possible :) This is what I got sofar: In...

Good post. If you're a starting dm these kinds of posts are very helpful. Maybe there should be a sticky with an overview of dm-tips threads. Anyway, keep it up, would love to read more.

Note: sorry for the long post, imagine that, it's only my 5th post or something... But it's an intresting discussion and I like op's tone of voice in the way he started the thread. It just came out as a flow of thought. I haven't checked it for spelling, my apologies if it's a bit rough around...

Just a heads up to OP of this thread to let him know his work is very much appreciated :)

Masterplan is awesome! Why isn't wotc doing something like this? I love the fact that I can bring my plot easily into schematics, sorting out plans, or just scribling down my thoughts in the info-space. Thank you, guys who make masterplan! For those who don't know what I'm talking about...

Excellent thread. I bought the book, it looks like an awesome adventure. I'm gonna interweave it in my own campaign. I've got a question: The group of players consists of 6 lvl 11 players. They're not powerplayers, nor are they great tactical players atm, but are aptly geared (all a +3 magic...

Succes! I went to a shop in Amsterdam (the American Book Centre), I picked up a copy of Harrowing halls, Desert of Athas and, as it turned out, had a copy of caverns of the underdark left. Each item costs around $ 12,90, so I'm happy :) Thanks all for the comments, and now atleast I know that...

Thanks all. I've had it before that I found out of print sets at physical gaming stores. Unfortunately there's none nearby where I live. Thanks for the amazon link. I looked at that too. If you look again though you'll notice that the cheapest version is out of stock, and prices start at 24...

Hello all, I want to buy Harrowing Halls (live in the Netherlands), but all online Dutch suppliers seem to be out of stock. Can somebody tell me if they'll reprint harrowing halls? Gr. Dyan

What I'm currently also doing is making a map filled with generic stuff. Amongst others: Generic skill challenges (e.g. sneaking, diplomatic talking, travel, etc.) NPC names Standard NPC templates (if they decide to attack a guard, I can make one in a few seconds) diseases riddles gaming...

@ dice4hire: Lol, thanks. Got a year in now, it's only recently that I've actually become a bit accustomed to the role. We're starting paragon tier in a month or so after a short break, so I'm very curious as to what that brings. BTW: if you use monsters pre MM3 releases, be sure to adjust...

A lot of good advice in this thread. Before 4e, I had three levels worth of dm'ing in 3.5. The players had either the same experience, or less. So I kinda know what you're going through ;) Not only that, I did start a lvl. 1 to 30 adventure. I've got quite some digital rpg-experience (e.g...

Drinking game Hi Goonalan, I enjoy reading your reports, I learned a few things from them. Question: you reference a drinking skill challenge. Can you point me in the right direction as to where I may find it? I'd like to run it myself, it sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks in advance. Kind...
