Hi there, I was wondering if you could help me. Somebody recommended I "add my product" (Yoon-Suin) to the index here so others can review it. I did so, but it doesn't seem to actually appear anywhere - if I search for it I get no results returned. I wondered if I did something wrong the first...

Thanks guys, although giving even more credit where it's due, this guy has been doing it for quite some time.

The fact that he's a local hero makes things even easier to work around. "Come on guys, you know me. Do you really think I'd do a thing like that?" etc. Is it really that difficult? As an aside, I find the double standards at play here interesting. The discourse revolves around the DM and his...

I think there are some valid points there - telling the player that if he ran then he'd be out of the campaign is an absolute no-no as far as I'm concerned. I think it's part of good DMing to always respond flexibly to whatever curve balls your players throw you (assuming good faith on the...

Thanks for linking to my post. I'm planning an OD&D campaign at the moment, and I think I'm going to ditch standard random encounter tables entirely and just use dynamic ones - at least for wilderness travel. It just seems to be an idea with so much potential (although I'm compelled to point out...

Now that's interesting. I've never even thought of doing it that way. What made you decide on that?

I can't believe you're still doing this. Kudos. (I was following on rpg.net, and only just noticed you're doing it here too.) Did they give much rationale for the decision to switch to "roll 4d6, drop the lowest"? I used to use that system, but nowadays I despise it.
