I am going to be running the Age of Worms "End Game" (from SoLS to the end) as my campaign finale for my next campaign. I was wondering if there were any Dragon Wormfood Articles that would be especially helpful for me and my players to read to get a good idea of what is going on.
Unfortunantly I can't really afford to buy all of them (need to buy a few Dungeons for the adventures, and postage to Australia is almost as much as the mags), but the budget could stretch to a couple. But I need to know which ones (if any) would be most helpful.
Thanks
But I need to know which ones (if any) would be most helpful.
Dragon 339 has a neat item that lives in Manzorian's basement. Its a fountain that gives you one stat boost and one flaw. You can either pick the bad thing and get a random good thing, or pick a good thing and get a random bad thing when you drink. Nothing game breaking, but it will be fun to make the players choose.
Dragon 340 is a fun addition to the Prince of Redhand module if your party likes role-playing. It covers all the things you can buy or do to improve your charisma based skill checks vs nobles. Everything from flashy dresses to new hair styles.
Dragon 341 talks about high level transportation, but I tend to gloss over long travel, so it didn't interest me much.
Dragon 342 has some nice anti-dragon magic items that I will probably have my group research or find before they head to the Kings of the Rift module.
Dragon 343 has been popular for its high level gated creatures. I probably won't allow them as my party has 8 players and a few pets already, but other parties have used the high level critters to great effect.
Dragon 344 is just an intro into epic level play and it discusses a few interesting tricks and tips if you have new players. If they are veterans, there is probably nothing new here.
The fountain from 339 is very cool. Also, the Wormhunter prestige class from 338 is quite interesting, because you have to choose perks and drawbacks as you level up. No pain, no gain in Age of Worms!
In which issue of Dragon did the Wormfood articles start? Was it issue 333?
Yes.
I've gotten the most milage out of the Wormford that statted the original playtest characters ... I'm always looking for NPC fodder for my game, and they game in handy with the Three Faces of Evil.
Plus, Eva Wilderman's illustration of the dwarf complaining about his stats on the character sheet is priceless.
But I've forgotten which issue number they came from.
