Re: Help making first dungeon
Nice job! When I write, I try to keep a few things in mind: 1.I try to provide the opportunity for each character to have his/her moment of glory. 2. As mentioned, party tactics are key; I'm not beneath including an encounter that could result in a TPK if not thought through. 3. Traps are a fun way ...

Re: Who's running games at Gary Con VIII
After a 1-year (unintended) hiatus, I'm slated to make my not-so-triumphant return to the wonderful world of GaryCon. I have submitted 3 sessions of a new event. I'll let you know when/if it gets accepted. [EDIT] I saw a green check mark next to all three sessions. Looks like we're on, unless I'm mi...

Re: Why'd you choose the forum name and profile pic you did?
An ode to one of my favorite Looney Tunes cartoons, and I didn't want to be known as the other knight from that cartoon (Sir Loin of Beef).

Sorry...it's too early in the morning, and I haven't had enough coffee for this kind of creativity. Let me see what comes out when I get it in gear.

Re: Adventure Hooks
My brother has gotten in the habit when running adventures to, at the end of on adventure, to offer a number of rumors in the region and ask the party which one they explore.

Re: Storytellers' Thesaurus Kickstarter
I didn't get the pdf. How does this differ from the GFW stuff, especially Insidiae? I generally like Jim's work, but with a complete set of the GFW books on my shelf, plus a copy of Toolbox, how much novel material is there to justify getting in on the Kickstarter?

Did anybody from your group take the monk? With his HP, he was pretty tough to pass up.

Re: Society Name Change
We're not the Troll Lord's Legion! We're the Legion of the Troll Lord!
In all seriousness, my issue with using the word, legion is it reminds me too much of Star Wars. I need to ponder that a bit, as well.
Thanks, btw, for adding me to the group.

Work is in progress, CKDad. 2 encounters fleshed out, everything else in outline form and waiting for me to wrap it up. In the middle of giving/grading exams. Once that settles down, I will work on fleshing out the rest.
