Hi, I just wanted to say thank you all for all your responses. I'm amazed & humbled by, but mostly jealous of the amazing story your tell ;) Here is hoping my next campaign will be half (hell, 1/10) as successful hehehe Roger the Jolly :angel:

Hi, Thank you all for all the good pointers. I've ordered 5! ;) adventures that caught my eye from goodman games and I will be keeping the names of the other you mentioned. This is the second time I'm hearing good things about Secrets of Xen'drik - maybe I will order it too. I'm planning to...

Thanks Remathilis! I just had fun reviewing goodman games's products which I was unaware of - look very promising and I ordered me a few presents! :D

Hi, Just a quick poll because I'm curious :) What has been the longest campaign you have played in terms of hours? For example - my longest was about 3 years of weekly sessions of about 3 hours each - so 468 hours total. What kept you coming back? What made it such a long running campaign...

Hi, I'm planning to run a 3.5E D&D game set in Eberron for 10th level characters and above. I have some beginning of a plot in Xen'drik and being too busy to be able to prepare everything I would need :.-( I thought I would shamelessly modify / cannibalize some good published adventure :)...

I voted 45 minutes, but the sad truth that it is how much I wish combat will take. In the two groups that I'm playing with it usually bog down for about 90-120 minutes easily. :( We are probably taking too much time checking things and not having enough time saving props like proper battle mat...

Thanks guys, I just read the synopsis of eyes of the lich queen and it seems nice. Unfortunatly I think that the DM in an Eberron group i'm in is running us in it ;) (I'll ask him next time) Anyway, I looked around a bit and saw this module "grasp of the emerald claw" - Grasp of the Emerald...

Hi, I want to run an adventure for 4E level 5 characters in Eberron. I'm sure that there are many adventure modules written for 3.5E that could be easily converted, and I'm looking for recommendations. I'm guessing that a level 7-8 3.5E will be about right for level 5 4E characters. So, Have...

Well done!

Was not too interested in those debates before and after seeing a few threads I have lost whatever little interest I had. I game for fun with friends - what we need and lack we make / invent / change. If it is good it stays, if not it goes. To my mind, "the state of the industry" is just the...

Sent you what I can afford. Hoping you find a job soon. Best of luck mate and thanks for all the endless hours you put in on this site for our enjoyment. Roger the Jolly

My answer is two fold - when the case is with a friend and when the case is with someone whom I know only casually. When we are talking about friends, as is the case with the main group I play with, I prefer talking with the player. The reasoning is this: we are all adults with many pressures...

This. Also, bear in mind that those with intelligence or even semi-intelligent living in a magic suffused realm will take into account the risk from magic as well as from arms and will prioritize accordingly. I usually play intelligent creatures attack like this: Concentrate as much fire power...

The object of the game is fun for all - the DM and the players. All other objectives are secondary and every grouping of DM and Players has it's own dynamics, so there is no straight cut answer. Like many have stated above I believe that you should only roll when the outcome means something and...

World building I enjoy building worlds tremendously, for many of the reasons you name, but I usually start in a rush and then later don't have the time to do a decent job (in my opinion). Also, as I get older and have more demands on my time I find that my attitude changes - I still love...

Yes, I'm just realizing this myself and how much more inspiration you can get from a well written and executed module or setting. My next campaign will be set in Eberron.

I like the idea of letting the party play both side on some side-dish quest very much :cool: Thanks! About giving flat xp - I understand the point you are making and it is good, but I also think it should somehow still be linked to what the characters do. Otherwise I think it has the potential...

Taking into account all the good ideas people posted in response to this thread, I'm starting to feel hope :cool: for me someday in the future posting a similar tale. Thanks Orryn!
