It already happened, I'm a werehuman, it's a nasty nasty form of lycanthropy.

Next poster has an itch he can't reach.

Custom Jerry always laughs at his own jokes.

Get help. Not in a psychological way just someone to motivate you.
Like going to the gym together or have your husband speak portugese to you. Things like that.

If you want to play it faster, just hand-wave it. If you want the party to feel like it's a long journey you could play more of it.
My players were once arrested and transported, that was a long and dull journey for the characters, so I played some of it to make sure the players felt it that way.

It does, but you'll need to go to the toilet more often to drive it.

I wish that police officer would leave me alone.

Let's all use capslock more often! - Strayshift

It's the sign of all my manliness of course! Luckily it's a very small mark. (Since I'm a girl.)
Next poster is designing a garden.

Lucky* can only make sandwiches

You have, as long as you're pointing at your self.

I wish I could get all my groceries for free.

Granted, but only if you swich his head for yours.

I wish I'd have better idea's on Cause of Death.

The victim was a male stripper. He was supposed to be a present for a mob bose. The mob bos however, tought he was a spy that was trying to bribe him because the victim said "I know everything you want" and the birthdaycake was his sneaky way of getting in. The Rainbow Brite alarm clock was the mob's signature, normaly the use other clocks but this was the only one they had left.

The victim was found on a lookout point near a city. He has no wounds or bruises. There is a umbrella lying next to him and his body is dry. There are foodsteps leading from the plaze to a parking lot. The foodsteps are washed away. It rained last night.

I was hired as a reindeer. Don't laugh, it's a job.

Next poster has a worse job than I do.

If this doesn't stop I'll need to sell the Hulk. *SMASH*

Next poster knows how I survived that.

You could use sea inspired structures in the temple, twisted shell shape domes, coral stucture for supporting big halls. I'd put in walls that are made to look like water when above water, but are hard to spot now.
Think about what stared to live in the temple after it sunk, not only monsters but "fluff" as well. Have little swarms of little fish swim past the characters when something big is approaching alge growing in light places over statues eels in the dark corners, things like that.

Creatures with sonar would have an advantage in murky water. Also, most creatures are faster then they are. Maybe one with a hit and run statagie.

Sir, you're brilliant as well! And you're brilliant first! I'm sorry I mist your post.

Temple of Elemental Evil is actually my thrid favorite, after Standing Stone.

Hi, may I be of help ?

"Lost, deserted city in a desert" is a quite close description of module B4, The Lost City.

Gem collecting in various dungeons (a pyramid, a city in the sky, etc.) comes from modules I3-5, Desert of desolation (or I3, Pharaoh, I4 oasis of the white palm and I5 can't remember the name)...

All are good old D&D or AD&D first edition modules.

You, are Brilliant! Dessert of Desolation is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!!

As said before, believe the Core Rulebook.
Turn to the forum if you run into problems. I have a wizard (considerd OP class) in my party who is underpowered. But she's having lots of fun so there's nothing wrong with it.
If you want however, you could look up tips for running sessions.
If you group is as exprienced as you are you don't have to know all the rules at once. Just make sure you know the basics, you'll learn as you go along.

There was a dungeon in a dessert campaign that was a disappeared city.

It was burried in the sand and haunted without any living creatures. The setting and the ambiance was brilliant. It was, I think, the most memorable campaign I ever played.

That sounds familiar...I don't recall the details on it, but it does seem like it was cool. What all do you remember about it?

Dessert.. Haha, that's desert of course :p

I remember that we had to call a very strong djinni to fight a very strong Efreeti, and the dungeon was about collecting gems to call that djinni. We also made a dried up river flow again, we "sailed" on a lake of melted sand (glas) and my druid had a pet lion. It was back when we had advanced, before 3.0. That's almost all I remember, I was 14 at the time.
I'll ask my father when he comes home, he DM'd and might recall the name of the dungeon.

At least go through one, to see what they put in it, to have a good idea of what you need.

Not really what you're asking for, but did you read any adventure paths? That helped me alot when I started making one.

They are mean pointy little things! If I throw one it might attack someones eye! The D8 and D100 are pointy as well, but they are nice self respecting dices. You can rely on them.

Next poster has a special relationship with one of his dices.

If that means I get to travel trough space, great! If that means I get to travel to space because I get abducted by aliens, uhm...

The next poster knows wich one it is, and will tell us.

Either it wasn't that much, or your an very fast reader!

They are, it's just that your hands aren't strong enough so when you try you split your hand instead of the hair.

Is wish I had ice cream.

You go read, i'll just claim this victory.

That's what you get if you're running from Daleks all day.
The next poster also has a great condition.

You explore an island of two square meter, for a year.

I wish my nails were stronger.

Lucky* uses his eyes as a night light.

"Removed a Post" is subject to a highly advanced computer virus. The virus owns its existence to a messageboard forum post, the orange substance is proof of that. After the victum got infected he was sucked into the forum so the virus could feed on his energy. The original virus post was deleted, after wich the virus didn't supported the male any more, and he died.

The victim is a forty year old male. There are traces of blood that run from his eyes, but they are form some time before he died. He has bedsores and it looks as if he didn't move in the weeks before he died. His brain is undamaged and there are no traces of chemicals in his blood.

I stole a few gun sticks and dome from them, so yeah I'm running.

Next poster would like to buy those things from me.

Granted! Jazz was never in any Transformers movie.

I wish I'd forget Prince of Wolves so I could read it for the first time again.

This was one of the first man, who lived shortly before the first ice age. There was a zombie invasion during that time and he has been beaten to death by some of them, the zombies froze to peaces during the ice age. Hid body was found frozen on mount everest. The climber how found him took it home and has somehow learned about the zombies. After the goverment didn't acknowledge his accomplishments on the mountain he has set it out in the to start a new zombie invasion, starting on hawai.

The victim is a large man, found in a library, he appears to be suffocated. He doesn't have any wounds but is wearing a tutu.

What do you have so far?
It might make it easier to have a idea what your looking for.
In the mean time:
He can look to one layer of clothing, but not more (blushing red)
Is attracted to a different gender than normal (either baby blue or baby pink)
Can wissel like a blackbird (Black with a orange nose)
can move objects the size of coins with his eyes (purple?)
can't get wet (but will suffocate underwater) (sand?)
Is a little bit magnetic (grey)
has a extremely long, blue tongue, like a lizard (ligth blue)
Can burp short sentences
Has fur
Is half as heavy a normal
Has insect eyes (intense green)
can give a bit illumination at will
Can breathe through his skin
he has an uncanny ability to perceive and manage time
Is extremely good at cleaning
Can dig like a mole, (only in soft earth)
Can bent wood with his hands (discribe in a way that it can't me used on doors)
That's it for now, if I think of some more I'll post them.

4/10, I liked the creepy little girl better..

How nice, the japanese! - Hobbsdadolfin

Windows me was never made, in fact no window was ever made. Suddenly it's very drafty, and isn't that a burglar?

I wish I had a good outfit for tomorrow.

Thank you all for your advice!
I'm gonna try to work it out in game, if that doesn't work I'll take your pointers to talk to them :)

I assume that the questions of the goblins are not necessarily constructive.
How do you keep from eating each other?
How much money would it take for you to kill one of your party members?
(This would indirect be a question about evil/good)

Last sessions my players started questioning the things I did.
Two examples. 1. I had a undead (Wraith) take a five foot step so the other undead could flank. They first asked me why it took that step. So I told them. They opposed, saying that an undead would never do that because they're not intelligent. So I told them it had a higher int then most of them. (They went along with that.)
The other example, a human enemy walked 40 foot. He was a monk, but they didn't know. They said i did it wrong and recounted the squares for me, afther they counted I just said "yes" and went on to attack them. That player didn't want to take the damage and explained again. In the end I angrily told them to take the damage and move on. They all presumed that I didn't want to admit my "mistake". But I didn't want to tell me it was a monk they were fighting.

I dislike that they question me, I hardly ever make mistakes and know the rules better than any of them. I'm not sure if I want to confront them directly because the tend to take it very personaly. Should I confront them anyway or should I just put up with they're questions?

Ps. Just to be clear, apart from this they are a lot of fun to play with.

No my players don't even think of doing things like this. They know I'm insecure on this point. And some of them know I can get very angry.
You're reaction wasn't very strong in my opinion.
I couldn't take this kind of stuff, but if you can and they're fun to play with, keep playing.

You haven't, but you have experienced all the things that made you learn your lesson. You just didn't learn from it. You will keep on experiencing these things untill you do learn your lesson.

I wish I wasn't this shy.

You have the fasted reflexes on earth, but now the ninja's are jealous and will make sure one of them has the fasted reflexes on earth...

I wish i always smelled nice.

10/10, if I get to eat it.

Shall I make dinner reservations? :P

Lets see, Yoda should be Yoda colored, no food the color of fresh breath? The water thing ultramarine, child baby blue, drunk color of beer, hovering: extremely pale shade of blue, the weather prediction could be the color of the weather that is coming. The other two I don't know, maybe just some color that you haven't used.

How about one were his hair comes to life (the color of the players hair), he is extremely flexible, he leaves daffodils every where he treads(color of daffodils, can be very anoying), he can move his head like an owl but can't move his eyes (some sort of brown), he can make plants grow faster by touching them (color of gras), he has a tail, he has a little cloud over his head the reflects the mood he's in (grey maybe), he can sleep in every possible position.

I like this thread, I'll be thinking some more.

8/10 if I get to eat it.

Granted! But you can't stop thinking about your grandparents bowel problems.

I wish I was less tired.

Evil Finnish Chaos Beast is a little bit neurotic.

Wow! This is cool!
How about a color where he speaks like Yoda, he is color blind, doesn't need food or water, can walk ten feet on water, looks like a child, gets drunk on water but not on alchohol, hovers about half a foot above the ground, can pull rabbits out hats, can jump very far, has a great singing voice, or can predict the weather?

Ps. our party once had a "rod of wonders" maybe you could add that to the character as a special ability in some way.
