I end campaigns all the time. Once a particular stroy arc ends, the campaign ends. Players can usually utilize the same character in the next campign. This is just like in novels that have multiple trilogies (or quintets) that focus on the same group (David Eddings: The Belgariad + The...

I never have a problem when delivering the final villainous rant to my players. Most of us used to play with the same DM, who great storyteller but he always wanted to win :mad: . To accomplish his evil ends, the DM would declare that the party was attacked by boxed text. Once I started DMing...

1. Books that were still useful after 5 years. 2. All the wonderful not-so-crunchy material printed for reading enjoyment. 3. Planescape. The art was fabulous. 4. The lack of ECLs. Most ECL races are not worth it beyond the first few levels. Paying for effective levels without getting such...

I'd model her somewhat after the thing that took over Fred on "Angel."

Wow, I hope they actually let the guy be truly and finally deseased before carving him up. I imagine that he will find it quite difficult to arrange resurrection for himself, I mean, talk about being worth more dead than alive! I would think that sanctified objects would offer abilities similar...

Actually, I know that I am cheating and giving out session awards :cool:

Before you actually allow the PCs to escape, you could have them tricked into joining a false escape attempt. This seems like the type of thing that those chaotic evil dark elves would enjoy. Give the pathetic slaves a glimpse of hope. Allow that glimpse to blossom into an undeniable dream. Make...

D&D is my first love when it comes to RPGs. I enjoy fanasy and no other game system says fantasy to me like D&D. In fact, every other fantasy game I have ever played seemed to pale in comparison to D&D. Can you tell that I really like D&D? I do enjoy other RPG genres, especially superheroes but...

Every DM in my group, including myself, starts the players at 2nd level. We began doing this in AD&D 1E for reasons of survivability (you magic-user cast his magic missile,wounding the orc-the orc hit your mage with a dagger,killing your magic-user). We continue to this day becouse its still D&D...

I started playing D&D with AD&D 1E. I loved the game, maybe even as much as Diaglo. I enjoyed 2E, but I didn't see any logic behind many changes it introduced (They blew up Greyhawk?) With 3(.5)E I can actually see the logic in many, if not most, of the changes. It is like 1E was a confident and...

Yes. If I have to die, I might as well die happy :) Of course, there are some things that prevent gaming (work, school, virgins in the nuclear war not wanting to die that way ;) , etc)

I always wondered about a sure fire scheme that would allow me to rip off the PCs. ;) In a world full of "lost" hordes of "unimaginable wealth," the whole CTCG and CMG might actually be affordable :)

1. My own RPG design company, or just talk Hasbro into selling off the D20 system if possible. 2. An elaborate gaming/office building capable of serving as a convention sight. 3. Hire back all the good designers and artists that TSR/WOTC lost/firede/P'd off. 4. Sit back and enjoy those...

I find that PC paladins tend to have a slight problem when the NPC bard says, "why yes Mr Paladin, that pink full plate armor definitely sets off the color of your eyes." This is especially ircsome when followed with a suggestive wink :) Having the NPC cleric say, "Long live the queen." after...

Someone should make up the ENWorld version of this. My God that was hilarious. :)

I almost siad this, but thought it was just too easy :)

Please let me know how the generic class campaign goes. I have been toying with the idea and would like to take some actual testimony to my players (they so hate anything new and different unless someone besides me recommends it) :(

Having read all the posts to date, as well as previously posting myself, I have to agree with some of the statements made. 1. Nerfing a class is not "the best" route to take. Such an action is likely to cause friction between the players and DM. Please note that minor changes to a class, such...

As a player i have to say NO. There are two reasons for this. 1. I tend to play spellcasters, so the rest of the party always seems to be pestering me to create an item for them. They are always willing to pay, the creation cost but not the market value. I have no idea why they always believe...

I have tried to sell my players on this idea since Exalted Deeds presented innate abilities based on vows. The VoP gives pretty good so that the impoverished guys can compete in levels where magic is somewhat required. One of the players actually likes the general idea but has probs with the...
