The Silver Order (The Holy Order of the Templars of Sigmar) Not every sorcerer joined the colleges. Some had no interest in going to war for the Empire and others wished to actively hasten its destruction. Others had little motivation to give up old ways and fight for people who had persecuted...

Someone has to be on the cover. It’s a pretty picture. Why not have someone on it we recognize. I can’t believe folks are so jaded that they can’t bear to see something familiar. It goes back to the tyranny of novelty I’ve mentioned a few times now. The constant drive to be original and new...

Love the cover. Hits all the spots I’m looking for. Amazes me what people find to moan about.

You’re right and I don’t think describing layouts and facts about a place is pre-scripting. You’re probably good at making that seem dynamic and responsive and making decisions about what would happen based on those descriptions. So don’t need any extra text. For those that think pre-scripting...

The Amethyst Academy (The Amethyst College) One of the Five Factions in Dungeons of Drakenheim is the Amethyst Academy and the Old World conveniently holds an Amethyst College of Magic. The Colleges of Magic were founded by Magnus of Nuln (later Magnus the Pious) at the conclusion of the Great...

Location and Timeline In the official timeline the City of Mordheim was struck by a twin tailed comet at midnight at the start of the year 2,000. A play on the Y2K fears that were around when the first box was released in 1999. Unfortunately it was also razed to the ground on the orders of the...

I think it could definitely be ran in WFRP. The social interactions and exploration elements are very strong.

So it is a well known secret that the city Drakkenheim written by the dungeon dudes is heavily inspired by the city of Mordheim in Warhammer Fantasy’s Old World. The city was popularized by a tabletop skirmish game in the early 00’s by the same name that featured factions fighting over a ruined...

Such a good lesson!

Awesome experience to share. Did they carry on playing with you? I’m guessing it was face to face. It can be really hard to have that kind of uber-confrontational conversation where there is no real softening it or broadening the message to the whole group to reduce the sting. It sounds like...

I’ll start off with something relatively straight forward that I have messed up with many times. I gave out a magic items and abilities that allowed spell DCs to go to crazy levels. In my Odyssey of the Dragon Lords campaign I think the combination of an extra feat at first level and a...

With the new DMG coming out and hopefully a lot more inspired budding DMs, I reflected on the best way of learning. For me it’s much better to try and fail and learn from that then try and get it perfect first time round. I also heard a great line that went something like. Any basic people...

DMs need to be inspired first and foremost. We have to create some that they want to read and that makes them want to run. The reason my players are so good is that they invariably say ‘run whatever you want to run most’. I then give them a few choices or suggestions and usually say ‘that sounds...

Yeah. Clear from this thread that Kara-Tur is about as likely as a full Dark Sun campaign setting and adventure. I’d love to be wrong on both counts… don’t think I will be.

I wasn’t calling you out specifically. But as you seem to be saying you aren’t opening threads with an anti-D&D negative spin? These were OP comments from the half dozen threads I was talking about. I read them all. I wasn’t just throwing mud. Sure there was a question in there too. But...

It does feel like not a day goes by without a new thread specifically criticising something WotC has done or said. Everything from why they picked Greyhawk for the next DMG to why they publish Campaigns at all. Even how they could have done a much better job on the not-as-yet published 5.5...

It’s also important to remember, lots of people just want to sit down and play games and don’t have an experienced DM to write one. A published adventure fulfills a very real and pressing need for many many new or casual groups. That couldn’t give two hoots about the ecological habits of a...
