We could make it very simple if you wanted damage to reflect something more than just loose x hp. Have 1 chart with 100 different things, be it unconscious, a particular wound, stunned, blinded, etc. whatever you like. You could have some that really did nothing but add comic relief, their is room f...

I have a scanned pdf copy of it, its not the greatest scan but it is readable. If it is ok to share it I could send it to you.

I thought everyone might like to know how this situation played out. My group of 8 PC's ended up deciding to camp starting about 4pm in the bottom floor of the spire with 2 pc's on guard in rotation. 1 in the top of the spire and one just outside the spire door to keep watch. At sunset I had the gua...

Ok so hear are the tactics that I've come up with. Using the hay from the stables should be of ample supply to start one hell of a smoke fire to fill the tower. They will set this on the second floor to real smoke out the top while they wait in ambush with trip wires on the stairs between level 1 an...

The Iron Manacle has lost only 3 members the two in the gatehouse (rogue escaped) and the rogue in the tower. If I throw the IM at them full force it would consist of about 4 (War1) Slavers and 1 (Rog1) and would include Ikenvar and Melchin. That's pretty heavy with no way to retreat. That puts 7 ag...

My group has entered the castle and cleared the gatehouse but the rogue slaver escaped and warned the others and they are on alert. Then the party cleared out the spire and are using it as a base of operations. They plan on camping in the top of the tower with the trap door bolted for protection in ...

Well on the grace/luck versus injury thing..... If you based it on the to hit die roll then if the fighter needed a 12 to hit and rolled within 4 like 12-16 then it would do grace/luck damage if the foe had any grace/luck points left. Then say 17-19 was a wound as mentioned in earlier post that woul...

I was thinking that since it sounds as if DCC RPG is going to have some randomness to it with the crits and fumbles etc. then if we base physical injury (actual wounds) on CON damage as some suggest then why not a table to roll off at certain levels of CON loss with each one getting worse. That way ...

One thing that would help with the factor of "feeling" real as far as damage goes, would be to divide the hit point system into two categories such as Grace and Health. Grace being luck, dodges and no physical damage. While health would be physical wounds that would probably be based on yo...

Let me throw something out that I use as a house rule in my 3.5 campaign. This effectively frees up the cleric as far as being a heal bot. They have a natural divine ability called divine presence. Divine Presence When allies touch you, or even the hem of your clothing, they are blessed with healing...

Encounter 1: (Gatehouse) “I hear you bashing but you can't come in.” Arriving at the top of the mountain visibility was limited due to the clouds but they could make out the lake and the castle, they saw the path leading down toward both and headed down. When the path came to a cave entrance they w...

Session 1: Sunday Feb. 6th The Players: (See above for details) Darsus – Human Cleric (1) Sheliak – Half Orc Ranger (1) Cendrine Kinnet – Human Fighter (1) Danicia Elatine – Half Elf Rogue (1) Euphrosyne – Elf Wizard (1) Sir Torsten Trueblade - Human Paladin (1) Let’s get started: (Note the interac...

Monte Cook did something similar in his Book of Experimental Might by dividing HP into health and grace.... I've been using this system in my 3.5 campaigns for a few years and it works out great. I have detailed how it works below: Hit Points All characters start with bonus hit points equal to their...

and with that the Prep work is done..... now I will post how it all played out after Sundays session..... The script above is a guide for how things move along, it will be fun to see how the PC's change the script.

It should be very interesting..... to say the least....

Until then.....

And now to tie everything together..... A Meeting With A Lord Two guards in full plate armor with red sashes stand at the door to this room as you approach they make room for your group to enter. As you enter this stately room you notice that it is divided into a living area and a sleeping area. The...

This huge room is the heart and soul of the inn. It is dominated by a polished mahogany bar with matching barstools. A large stone fireplace adorns the east wall, complete with an oak mantle. Another, smaller fireplace is situated along the north wall, next to a swinging door leading to the busy kit...

Ok now that I had the characters set, they will be arriving at Cillamar for the first time this Sunday so I wanted to play up Cillamar and give it some life so I have scripted alot of whats happening.... The Arrival..... As you approach the main entrance to Cillamar, Kings Gate is flanked by a pair ...

Ok now the reasoning behind all the work on the pre-gens, I wanted the players to have to use them to start. I made them pick their characters simply from the back stories, which one they thought they could role play the best. They never saw one stat besides class and race beforehand. First and fore...

Design Diary: Character: Darsus (Pre-Gen) Class: Cleric Race: Human Backstory and notes: (OK for the last Pre-Gen we have our Cleric, now under the normal 3.5 rules a lot of players prefer not to play one but with the new healing disciplines in the Book of Might it changes things so his role is not ...

Design Diary: Character: Sheliak (Pre-Gen) Class: Ranger Race: Half Orc Backstory and notes: (OK I now had two serious main characters with plot hooks galore, some comic relief with the rogue and a pretty traditional fighter gal with a few quirks. All four had their own good reasons for being there,...

Design Diary: Character: Cendrine Kinnet (Pre-Gen) Class: Fighter Race: Human Backstory and notes: (OK we had our comic relief, we had two serious characters so now I decided to try to get as close to traditional as I could for a red headed warrior princess. ) This Gung-Ho Warrior is driven by the d...

Design Diary: Character: Danicia Elatine Class: Rogue Race: Half Elf Backstory and notes: (After two serious characters I needed a break and my group of pre-gens needed some comic relief. I thought this rogue was the perfect ticket. Mostly inspired by the picture of the rogue from the CWR book itsel...

Design Diary: Character: Euphrosyne (Pre-Gen) Class: Wizard Race: Elf Backstory and notes: (With one loner on the way to CWR I wanted to keep the trend going, so where was I going to pull a elf wizard from that was going to make him intriguing and fit the group profile that was forming in my head. )...

Design Diary Character: Sir Torsten Trueblade (Pre-Gen) Class: Paladin Race: Human Backstory and notes: (First off I wanted to create a Paladin that was not along the traditional lines. Someone that was driven and had a cause. ) Both of his parents died in the great war that is going on North of Mor...

First off, I wanted to create a thread that both would track my groups new CWR campaign but also show the DM side as far as prep and storylines before each session. I am the kind of DM that likes to prep as much as possible so I’m ready for the curve balls that I know the players will throw. Maybe t...
