Fighter with chain mail bikini Make sure her miniature is as scantily clad as possible. :p

Any tip jar is going too far in my opinion. They are popping up everywhere as if the employees are doing you some favor by taking your money at the cash register. If you feel your services as a DM are worth monetary compensation, set a price up front. I've found that once you turn your hobby...

Between indifference to totally lost. Already stopped playing 3E/3.5E and started playing Mongoose Runequest. It blends complexity and old school feel quiet well. I'll take a look at the players handbook when it comes out and see if I like it. It appears this edition is not designed for the...

On the per encounter spell system: I wonder what happens if the enemies just pursue the adventurers if they retreat? Do they have to get so many feet away (aka off the screen) before the encounter spells return? What about monster spell casters, could they slink away through a secret door and...

My experience has been more TPKs and character deaths in my 3.x play than in my 1st edition play. Maybe the death traps caused us to be more careful, maybe the threat of level drain caused us to think twice before attacking an undead, maybe the lack of magic availability caused us to run when...

Just outside the Dominion of the Sea Barons as an independent city-state.

Watching the Sizzle youtube video...I have to say....HA!..I said it months ago on enworld that their would be a laptop involved with 4E and people scoffed ... :cool:

A couple of things: Not being bashed if you didn't know every rule by heart. You were the DM, what you said went with no whining about RAR. The DM (via the encounters) was the supplier of magic not some shop. Being able to go through an entire module in a marathon all night session.

I've not tried it, but have been tinkering with the idea. The original Runequest was built on top of Chaosium's Basic Role-Playing system. It has some concepts I really like. The characters are really customizable and advancement is very logical (for skills used in a session, at the end of...

DMs choice The DM can just decide on the fly ... everything doesn't have to be spelled out precisely by the rules. Just wing it.

bodies I love it when the players do not do anything with the bodies in a high level game. Its pretty easy for the bad guys friends to animate/create undead/raise/resurrect/miracle them back to life. The party gets to fight them all over again and doesn't get any XP for slaying them the...

I was thinking that there used to be a bunch of spells I would always have a PC memorize in 1st edition, that I never do anymore. I'm not really talking about nerfed spells, just those that aren't used any more. I've never cast unseen servant or Tensor's floating disc in 3.0. Other spells I...

...Vampire Cows....

More AoO humor (?) Player : I would like to take my ayeoooo. GM : What? Player : My ayeoooo. GM : What? Player : The drow (pronounced like cow) moved out of that square. GM : You mean your A-O-O. You've been playing Cthulhu too much... "ca-cha-cha" I liked AoOs better in Squad Leader when...

Nobody has mentioned the Cthulhu rules (or BRP) with/without SAN thrown out. A few pluses and negatives... Pluses: Gunfire will get you dead real quick. Wounds do not heal over night, expect to stay in the hospital for a while. Lots of skills (although some do overlap)...
