I had a similar player once, playing a fighter too. And so it happens, the group ran into intelligent opponents with a smart leader. I did not realised what the outcome of the battle will be when I was designing it until we played it, so I can't really take credit of the result, but this what...

I have 2 optimisers, 1 genuinely bad lucker non-optimiser, and one regular non-optimiser in the group I DM for. I just tailor the encounters so in average, everyone has his/her spotlight, excitement, and usefullness, as well as hard time and troubles. I even went so far as granting our bad...

My opinion is that something like Discworld deserves its own system that would suit it well. For example, the mechanics behind the theory of narrative causality should be reflected in the rules somehow, derivately, heroes should have some sort of genre-savviness stat :cool:

I hate players with attitude "you are the DM, entertain us, it's your job", because I think it's our "job".

I'm not good with pictures. As is, I have no idea how to edit that out. Should I remove the picture completly?

Sorry, I just can't resist

In one of my games, a halfling attacked a giant with a dagger and made him "prone". I discribed it somelike this: You hit the giant's foot sensitive spot and now he tries to stand only on one of his legs, the other being too hurt to use for now, flailing his hands a bit. This made him a bit...

One word: Equilibrium :]

Just for the record, we call it coriander too. But we're not an english speaking country.

You can always cook :D Works for me. When cooking yourself, you can make really died, healthy and great tasting food. The only requiremnt is fresh and quiality ingredients. When we play at my place (and that's almost always), I usually cook for everyone. After all, my friends like food...

A good roleplayer does things in character while helping or at least not disrupting the party. It isn't always easy to find "in character" solution that won't be "against" the party sometimes, but where is will, there is a way. Being in character should be an opportunity for finding original...

Enjoy it. (Because bored GM is a game's ultimate bane)

130. A "fortune teller", so far considered by the townpeople a harmless entertainer, suddenly finds that -all- his fortelling are starting to happen. To the letter. 131. A "go away" writing appears on the mayor's Town Hall doors every night. Noone is seen to write it. 132. Several of the village...

My players, hmm, acquired an airship and invested heavily into it, makeing it their mobile base. And one of them got the idea to improve it with some of the wondrous architecture items. And I like to say yes. Technically, it isn't actually a lair, but practically, they use it as one, albeit...

Once upon a time (more than 8 years ago), we were facing a RBBEG (really BBEG) and starting to be a bit desperate, I anounced I will use my most powerfull attack, the resulting damage being 25d6. I rolled 29, boss saved (14), resisted (3). So I did 3 damage. From that, everytime ones of us...
