    Drinking and Whoring for XP

    Trying this on the group: Passions & Goals Bringing back the “gold for xp” arrangement, but with a twist. Each character can earn extra xp for the gold they spend. Characters will define a goals or passions that they are working for and any money spent on obtaining that end can be converted...

    Drinking and Whoring for XP

    Interesting, I would put a limit on spending to avoid someone laying all their gold for xp. Say 25 gold X level per session.

    DM tips - what makes a good DM?

    I said "do not be afraid to say no." If you have to follow every request with a "yes, but.." then you missed the point. A character in a movie/TV show/comic book is designed to entertain the viewer/reader. They do not necessarily make good PCs. Imagine 5 James Bonds all vying for the Bond...

    Far NW Burbs of Chicago

    Of course we would like to make it every week, but all of us occasionally miss a week. So the attendance isn't that strict. We would have no issue with your age. If you would like to try a week just to see if our group is for you let me know and I will message you with the address.

    DM tips - what makes a good DM?

    Here are a couple of tips: Although saying "yes" will make you popular with players it may lead to a non-fun game. Don't be afraid to say "no" to preserve fun for everyone. Before character creation premise what you want or what you are running. You are heroes/good, no evil PCs. This will...

    Don't let our age scare you off. We would welcome a new comer to the game as well.

    What's the draw of half-orcs?

    When I think Barbarian in DnD I think half-orc. I have played many type of characters over the years, but sometimes you want to play something more wild. My latest PC is liked a leashed animal. Letting loose in battle seems the only way to be accepted by the "pretty" PCs. Besides, charging...

    Garage Sale / Thrift Store finds

    Nice deal on the Top Secret score. But I think you get ripped off on the Cyborg Commando. I barely remember that game and all my memories of it are bad to unimpressed.

    Far NW Burbs of Chicago

    Looking for 1 - 2 new players for a weekly 4th edition game. Currently Sundays 2-7 in Carpentersville. We rotate between two campaigns, both of which are just starting. Group consists of mature players; 30s to 40s. Maybe not mature per se, but older. :D

    Divorced from reality - RPGers & Corporate America

    Honestly, I do not know that my course of action would have been different. No matter how well a product of mine was selling (not that I have any) I would want to go after those who trampled over my copyright rights (?). On the consumer side of things we rarely understand the cost and effort...

    Second Life; Why Should I Be Playing It?

    I thought it was accurate. Until I can wage wars or slay beasts I don't see the appeal.

    Two Dozen Nasty DM Tricks

    Ambush room I designed a room to ambush my PCs. When they were adventuring through a dungeon and came to an obvious liar there were two ways to go. A "Y" intersection with an obvious lair one way and a typical tunnel the other. The entrance of the lair resembled a two story castle gate so...
