A player character selects the site, pays the costs, and waits for construction to finish. The challenges here I see as twofold:. The "primary" PC is paying attention to things like layout and design and paying for it all. The "secondary" PCs need to worry about things like keeping supply lines open, wiping out monsters that threaten the builders, etc.

The multi-PC-per-player, high-level campaign is not going to happen any time soon. I still like. The idea, but it is complex enough that I will need to spend a lot more time working out the the kinks before I would be ready to run. Such a beast. Real life distractions are (surprise!

I'll hopefully amend that somewhat over the summer. Along those lines, feel free to take a gander a new video I posted about getting minis painted for tabletop play.

If you want to commission an AMAZING map like this! Less of a nation, and more of a scattering of wizards' towers across a gloomy land. They say the region is crisscrossed with powerful ley lines, making it idea for arcane study. It is also said to be infested with enchanted beasts and monsters. August 7, 2015 at 1:31 PM.

Despite all the playtime other huge bug-like creatures get in D&D, I don't think I've used giant ants in a game. There have been a lot of versions of this monster, but for these purposes, I'll be looking at BX's "Driver Ants." (B34) These suckers are 6' long picnic busters of the first order. Most common random encounters! No Enc: 2d4 (4d6). We got prospector ants here! That's a great incentive to send PCs...

Echoes from the Geekcave. Grumpy, yet verbose. View my complete profile. Wednesday, November 5, 2014. The Mythos: Canon or suggestion? One of the risks of working with a licensed RPG or setting is the idea that the source material is the final measure of things. In other words, your stories, etc. need to match with what was put down before. You can't put the Shire next to Mordor or give dwarves bazookas and still call it Middle Earth.

Echoes from the Geekcave. Grumpy, yet verbose. View my complete profile. Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Goal Based XP Awards. Some good ideas offered about my campaign idea on G and Dragonsfoot. Here is a little more broad -strokes noodling based on feedback regarding advancement and a player's PCs working toward different goals:. Successfully researching a spell or enchanting a minor magic item: Minor. Acquiring a long sought-after item (magical or otherwise): Minor. ALL of the player's Secondary PCs leveling up.
