Come now... they have property right? did they get land in Caldraza as a result of sucesses at Underdell? Their political power depends on how they play the Xoth Sarandi chapter though. I have one group who went all out and one that hardly bothered... just as I expected. On the encounter level...

Hey everyone, I did something different for the magic users items - I based 'em on the metamagic rod - and I've allowed them to increase the item's power according to the gp price... so, when the other items weapons are at +5, the sorceror figures out what a +5 weapon costs, and has that much...

In hindsight - yes! but it didn't really seem necessary at the beginning. It's OK, he's not dead, just defeated. He'll regenerate, then hunt them down. With such a high int, he knows that thes pesky little creatures stopped him from getting his reward, and He'll be annoyed! js

I have two groups that have run through book 1 and are starting book 2. The interesting thing about running the two separate campaigns is that I get to see just how subjective the 'toughness' of the fights are. Early on, it's pretty much a toss up, 'cause it's so easy to damage low level...

They finally talked to the sailors about it last night - and the sailors fashioned the holder. It's working, but it's hard to tell when a ship that size is going a little faster - so It's working, but they don't know it is. They're on their way to see the elves. My other group bested the...

I think my players got involved and feel tied to the events because I played up the starborn piece. They're not of the world, but they're definitley there to save it. Which has lead in some cases to a bit of arrogance on the part of the PCs - and watching that come up against the iron dukes...

Excellent. One of my PC suggested using the decanter to propell the boat the other night, but the other PCs didn't think it would work - so they didn't try! Now, I'm a sailor as well as a DM - and I think having a little self propelled jet would lend some serious speed, (you know of the 3...

Well, we're just about to reach the one year mark, and both my groups have just left Crom Calmar, and they're heading out to Xoth Sarandi. We play very consistently - 4 - 5 hours a session for 6 weeks out of every eight - so I'm guessing 176 hours per group... and double that for me. I'm about...

Hey Drow Wars DMs, Did your characters find the Decanter of Endless Water in the Temple of Karad? and if so, are they using it? I've been continually impressed with the ways my pcs are using this one magic item. They use it more than just about anything else in their possession, except for...

My groups actually have no character background. Perhaps I took the first scene a bit too literally, but they have no memories before their appearance at the first node. They think they went to sleep - but perhaps that's only because they woke up. In fact, they are quite starborn. it's a divine...

While both of my groups did eventually go get Romilly, based on rumors that she knew how to get into the palace.... I think they could have come up with something else. It seems to me that some combination of divination, stealth, silence spells, dimension door, and judicious use of scrolls /...

I have to agree with most and disagree with some. I think a) it's a great game, my players love it, and b) it's fairly easy to run. I'm a first time DM, with only about 4 years of gaming experience under my belt. Sure, in a couple of places, you have to put a door on the map where one has...
