I have a couple of closeups of Level 3 I plan to post later this week, but I have a couple of tweaks I'd like to make to the model first. In the meantime, here are some paper counters I generated just for this campaign: I modified a Chuul pic from WotC's Monster Manual to make some Klaklin: Klaklin ...

None the Wiser's take on the Volcano Caves...

I plan to start running this adventure next weekend, so I thought I'd share what progress I've made converting the maps to 3D via SketchUp. One of SketchUp's shortcomings is that it doesn't really do round/organic shapes very well, so the point of this exercise isn't to generate riveting POV shots, ...

Anyone have a clipart of a Klakton? I'll just use these backgammon chips. There's a handout the team can oogle if they need to see a Klakton. :twisted: Well, I don't have clip art of a Klaklin, but I did modify a Chuul from WotC's Monster Manual to make counters for my game: http://misterhook.tripo...

I've been using both. In my first adventure, Into the Wilds , I only purchased the PDF and printed it out. I would try to stack each adventure level in a different sheaf, but inevitably I would set down a stack of papers in the middle of a game session and then have to spend in-game time trying to r...

RE: Rick, Jengenritz Thanks, guys! Glad you like it! The stronghold alone was a pretty decent modeling challenge. 8) The trog caves may take a while yet. This is what I meant by a "beautified" wide angle shot, just a quick and dirty Photoshop collage: http://misterhook.tripod.com/misc/foru...

Ok, we just finished up the Sunken Ziggurat adventure last weekend. My players had high praise for this module. As DM, I thought it was a little rough around the edges, but most of my headaches running the adventure had to do with a party that was maybe a little too overpowered for an adventure of t...

Don't worry, we're here to stay. Goodman Games will support fourth edition. Dungeon Crawl Classics will continue. And when the time is right, we will announce full details.

Ok, I just got back from vacation and I've had a week to sum up how my players have fared thus far... I played Batu as senile and forgetful, plus I made her an out-of-season tour-guide for the Talons. Hence my Paladin detected a wavering aura of evil around Batu as the mood took her. My players kill...

The King’s Highway – or – PCs ask the darndest things! The first adventure I ever helmed as GM was the Wildsgate adventure.
