    Looking for a group in/around Austin, TX

    I recently moved to Austin and am seeking a new group. I'm 30, married, soon-to-be-homeowner, have social skills, and bathe regularly. The group should not be munchkin, not (primarily) a hack-n-slash, nor have rules-lawyering players or GMs. I play/have played: D&D 2nd,3rd editions GURPS...

    A shift in lethality. What's fair warning?

    Even better. Put them in a violent storm and/or shipwreck. Saving throw vs. all their stuff going down to Davy Jones Locker. It's a plausible scenerio and will test their will to survive vs. their greed. With any luck, they'll lose some items and have to scrape by for a while on what they have left.

    A shift in lethality. What's fair warning?

    You're hitting that point where everything you throw at them seems to be rediculously easy or impossibly hard. It's going to be hard to tweak a balance between the two when they have access to a large arsenal of weapons and magic. There's always the rust monster/disenchantment route that will...

    A shift in lethality. What's fair warning?

    Hmm. That's a mighty powerful NPC you've got there. What's the APL of your group? I didn't mean to completely throw the party for a loop, but knocking them off-balance when they expect Event X and you give them Event Y. Perhaps the first group of NPCs were just skirmishers and such. In any...

    A shift in lethality. What's fair warning?

    I'd subtley turn up the heat. A good way to do this is for the party to have an encounter with a (insert monster/NPC) that they are familiar with and have had dealings with in the past. Make the NPCs/monsters remarkably harder, thus throwing off the party's general conception of what they were...

    Game Stores in Silver Spring, MD?

    Dream Wizards is *sigh* probably the best bet for a store even remotely near Silver Spring. It's kinda gone downhill over the years with the CCG craze and such but still has a fairly good selection of miniatures (not just Games Workshop) and RPGs. I should note that if you're succeptible to...

    Replacement PCs, how do you handle it?

    Been a while since I've ran a d20 game, but it's standard policy in my campaigns for replacement PCs to enter at two levels lower than the highest level character currently being played. That is, if you don't buy insurance. Insurance in my games basically boils down to investing some of the...

    Gaming across the generation gap

    Our ongoing group (circa 1995) has run the gamut of ages and abilities over the years. Currently, the DM's 12-year-old son is playing in the campaign. We've found that if you make the boy play someone his own age that he has a much better time and understanding of the events around him. All we...

    I'm also in Silver Spring. Where exactly in the sprawl are you located (ie. N/S of the Beltway, near the SS Metro station, etc)? Inquiring gamers want to know.

    I'm trying to run DirectX 9.0c with and nVIDIA GeForce4 MX graphics card, is it compatible with the 9.0c version? I've scoured the intarweb for answers and have found nothing definitive.

    [Vacation] Trip to Toronto, good gaming stores?

    IIRC, Hairy T is roughly the size of a prison cell with similar smells and such eminating from within. :p

    "Your sword strikes the mummy..and sticks."

    That still doesn't hold a candle to the mummies that my DM used in a game a while back. Placed center-mass inside the mummy were small kegs of a primative form of gunpowder and assorted bits of sharp metal. Try setting those things on fire and you'd have a real mess. ;)

    Suburban DC (Maryland)- Have Dice, will travel.

    We're looking for a game to join. And while I'd like to run a game, I don't have time to plan/run a campaign. I could provide up to three players. As far as a demanding time schedule for the game, we'd prefer it to be very flexible since we're already involved in another campaign.

    Suburban DC (Maryland)- Have Dice, will travel.

    I'm amongst a few players that are looking for an semi-regular (once a month preferably) open game in Montgomery County somewhere close to the beltway(Bethesda, Silver Spring, Wheaton). We bring to the table years of RPG experience with a focus on roleplaying and storyline development over...
