Inkwell's page

A GM I use to game with said that "Aura of Justice" could not grant the additional bonuses on evil outsiders, undead, and evil dragons. Moreover, it only lasted for a number of rounds equal to the other player's Charisma modifier. I was a bit miffed, and I did use it a little too often... I was new to the game, and I did in hindsight kind of abuse it. It didn't help that we fought against those three types seemingly back to back either. I do think it sounds fair now, considering it one-shot-killed two different bosses.

5) Book 5 doesn't really have a good point.

Keep these CC ideas a-flowing! I'm getting the itch to update the campaign for mythic.

I don't like Star Wars.

I have been shunned at my table for that.

I used posting poles for letting the player gain more trust points with the first module. Effectively, it also worked to carry some tidbits for the players to pick up that something was amiss in town as the Splatter-man haunt with the name had already begun three letters in. I also made the Spring-Heeled Jack a roaming baddy that is troubling the town during this time.

Some of the events were borrowed from other users on the forum. I kindly beg their forgiveness for using the events.

On Moonday the 27th, Gibs or whoever the splatter man possessed, was going to use Old River to continue the ritual.

Of course, even though I planned all this out on paper, the PCs worked a bit too ambitiously and were able to complete the dungeon in little over a week in-game.

I am one of the few that did not make the top 89, but I made the cull.
There is always hope next time around!

Even if I don't make the top 32, you guys (and gals) need to share these lists you've been making! I want to know if my item found its way to these lists!

Also, I kinda wish I made a list as well.

I have not yet seen my item before the cull or after. I am trying to remain optimistic that it wasn't disqualified or cut from the contest.

[...]I do have 44 items in my keep folder right now, however those three stand out head and shoulders above in my opinion.

I would like to see your list of Keep items. However, even as a PM, that may constitute breaking a rule. Maybe after the 22nd, you could post the list of your top picks?

Inkwell, the ones that come to mind are the Gatehouse which is tiny for 3 trolls to be running around in and the musuem where the guardian is moving around in a very small place.

I made the gatehouse a bit bigger, but not too much. Trolls still had to squeeze to get up and down stairs or from one tower top to another, though two could stand abreast on each tower.

I see. Well, I thought it was just that area but there are a few areas of concern, so I made my own list. There may be more I am missing.

The PCs are level 6 when entering the dungeon, so they could (and most likely will) have the spell Fly. If the PCs are tempted, they could bypass many of the dungeon simply by flying around the buildings and such. For this fact, I've decided to add wind effects to the castle grounds. This may be "Strong" or "Severe"; I haven't decided.

Without changing much, size related I'm planning to alter the following:

One of my proposed solutions is to replace Grock with a Whispering Way Cultist, a lackey, since it was noted that there wasn't much WW connection to this module. Probably one who, having encountered many of the traps inside the castle was left for dead, and took refuge to the top of the tower. My end result will be having him take the Death-gag effigy from BM or possibly have him leap to his death to the sea below when reduced to a number of hit points.

The link to Windspirits guide leads to a thread about trial of the beast. Is there a GM reference PDF for Broken Moon available anywhere, because I'm dying to see it. Any help would be appriciated.

Windspirit's Broken Moon GM reference PDF.

I do think that part of the adventure is kinda poorly put together in the book. I'm always having to flip back and forth between the NPC descriptions, the event descriptions, and the room descriptions for the Lodge. It's a little aggravating for me as a GM.

While Windspirit has his own guide (and a very helpful one at that), I broke down and organized my own (Here). I will, however, not be using it. I seek to work on an "Ascanor Lodge: Expanded" version for myself. I don't know how well this will work out but I could work around to uploading the Expanded version if anyone is interested.

Did anyone come up with a list of scrolls and magic items available at the Unfurling Scroll? I'd love to see it.

I'm trying to save myself some effort and use the charts for 1st thru third arcane and divine spells presented in the Game Master's Guide (pages: 126, 127, 130, and 131)

Also, did anyone think of a logical reason why Alendru at the Unfurling Scroll would have Crowl's copy of the Flesh Golem Manual?

I don't know if it was going to come up in my campaign, but if the PC's ever questioned it:
