If you are not against self publishing then you can use lulu to get it done. Any specific setting or rules system you are using?

A fun one that is rewarding if done right is moving terrain. Fight on river rafts, or trying to fight fleeing villains on their carriage (i had just watched Ben Hur before i got to writing the next weeks encounter)

Actually is 3.5 dnd. Which is why it was shocked by their decision to do this caught me off guard. My college group is busy with finials so i have been running for high schoolers.

As for the equipment they have an Alchemy lab they are going to use.

RPGs / Bootlegging

« on: April 22, 2010, 09:56:41 PM »

So my players have decided to start up a bootlegging operation due to the probation laws in the city they are in. I have made subquest to run off this. but i am having trouble making mechanics for the making of the alcohol. The players already "acquired" farms to grow wheat and barley.

Yeah, that last post was pretty good for making riddles. I agree with that. It's a very easy way.

As to Puzzles, do you mean in a dungeon? Or just in general?

In general, I am currently running a city campaign but there are tombs and dungeons underneath it . (But I do run dungeon crawls)

While I don't have any specific tips off the top of my head, I can recommend addding time pressure to any puzzle to make it more exciting. Giving players too long to think will make things less fun.

I recommend non-lethal outcomes for failing to figure out the puzzle. An oncoming swarm of rust monsters, thieving nymphs, or something that causes a shitty status effect would be good. (party-wide blindness in a dungeon?! How much fun would that be?) If you put a solution nearby behind another puzzle, then you can get a twofer. (They have to navigate the maze without their eyes to find the blindness cure. The walls are made of glass so they feel extra dumb when they finally get it.)

Devious and cunning I love it.

Although I am good at doing dynamic combat and decent role playing encounters but I suck ass at riddles and puzzles they confuse me. Sadly my players love the few i have shamelessly stolen from movies. But I am running dry and they are demanding more. So if anyone has any fun riddles or puzzle ideas that I can use for my Players it would be much appreciated.

dwarf fortress fans are crazy. One even transcribed the entire RPPR interview and made little snide comments while doing so. It's over 15,000 words I think altogether.

I would like read that if you know a link to it
