Hehe.... We have a really, really silly house rule. If anyone, or any reason rolls 00-07 (007) on %, instead of saying what their % is they have to play the James Bond theme on their phone. Also the DM will roll again to see if he gets plus or minus 7 of 07 (00-.14) - if THIS happens they...

The Green Cloud If and when a regular player (key term) cannot be present, I put it to a group vote. 1 of 2 things happen - either I NPC the character in question, or the Green Cloud appears from it's undetectable quasi-dimension and sucks said character in. If they go with the Green Cloud...

The Keep at the Borderlands!

This is me the DM and me the player speaking here. What a boring, boring world. One of the best encounters (random or not) is with that rival band on the same quest as you are, after the same artifact, serving a rival god.... Indiana Jones would never have had his Beloch and Naxi allies...

As the DM in most versions of our game anyway, you're in charge. But, you have to take into account their personalities, wants and desires as well. If they want to spend time discussion things - that are important to them, though not your carefully prepped scenario - so what? - I don't stop...

I find it amusing that the OP has long since bowed out, and now it's turned into two completely entrenched and intractable positions: He's Dust, or the Wild Shape protects him from Dusting. I hope I am not the only person who has realized neither side is going to agree with the other, period...

I am currently in the process of creating Arcturan society (Marvel universe, alien race, Starhawk is a member). I am doing so as the Arcturans have recently discovered a before unknown sector of space - in what used to be a vast, nigh impassable expanse of nothingness. That is now inhabited by...

Much of this depends on the player. And the character, and character class. You mentioned this was a 1st Edition game. In the racial write ups in the players handbook it is very clear about how other races feel about one another. It uses some pretty strong language as well - hatred is a...

Our gaming group tends to try and role play (see Antonio Banderas in the 13th Warrior) the process of learning new languages as we play. Also, we try to share new skills as well - within reason (the Ranger in the party shows basic fletching techniques to the Rogue, etc.). What we do as well is...

I was on the fence until I dug a little deeper. Simply too much of an investment, both financially and in time to learn and master. Pass.

That sir, was a read. It sounds like you already have a good grasp of story, which in this player/DMs opinion is the most important aspect. The main issue you will encounter, throughout the process, is human nature. They (the characters) are evil, and they will turn on one another, quest be...

I completely agree with this post! I call it the P.A.P. rule, and anyone who'd played with me as DM for any amount of time get's to know it at one point or another. Power Attracts Power The more you use, the more likely someone notices.

One of my players and I have had a long discussion about this, and he want me to place DnD Space on the far reaches of the Marvel Universe, while another wants us to be a part of the Battlestar Galactica (reboot, not original) Universe. Why not both?

Usually at one of two private residences, one on the westside, the other near baymeadows... We've been playing as a group pretty much since 2004, though a few people have come and gone.

It's in a pen and paper spiral notebook. I will get it digitized and share, no worries.
