    Kicking out a player: share your stories/advice

    Shameless plug: I put this question to the TT community at the end of 2005, and turned the responses into How to Kick Out a Player and Respect Yourself in the Morning, a step-by-step guide to doing exactly that. A lot of what that post covers has already come up in this thread, including the...

    2007 ENnies Nominees - announced!

    As a fansite, everything on Treasure Tables is free, and always available -- but the Top 25 Posts page makes a great point of entry into the site. It covers a lot of ground, and it offers a good overview not only of what TT is all about, but also of the kind of posts, discussion and GMing...

    2007 ENnies Nominees - announced!

    I'm honored to be nominated, and in such excellent company. My thanks to the judges for their hard work (reading Master's blog, it's clear just how much work that was!), and congratulations to all of the nominees!

    OK, we have a problem [please read!]

    Yikes. This is never good to hear, and I'm sorry you're in such a tight spot, Russ. You've put a huge amount of time, effort and money into this community over the past few years. I haven't been active on the boards for a couple of years (still a regular news reader, though), but from the...

    Do druids need Track?

    Yep. I've now read through Skip's 3-part revision of alternate forms, and my brain hurts. Druids now appear to lose two things I was really counting on: the above-mentioned acquisition of racial bonus feats (Track, specifically), and modified HP based on their wildshaped Con. Bummer. If we go...

    Do druids need Track?

    Thank you for the feedback, everyone! I'm still leaning against Track, but it does seem like a nice outlet for having a high Survival skill. It's not in my current build, though, and it'll probably stay that way. My understanding is that you get racial bonus feats, which Track is for dogs...

    Do druids need Track?

    Whoops -- good point, thank you. I don't think that changes the fundamental question, though -- even without scent, gaining the new form's Track feat should still do the trick (albeit not quite as well).

    Do druids need Track?

    I'm statting out a druid for this weekend, and trying to decide whether or not to take Track. I'm leaning towards not taking it, for two reasons: 1. My animal companion, a wolf, has Track, the scent special quality and the Track trick (from handle animal). This means I can tell him to track by...

    D20 Freelance writer's wanted

    Howdy. :) Paying per page is pretty unusual -- how many words per page are you thinking of for your $3/page rate?

    Looking for two players near Salt Lake City, Utah

    My gaming group is looking for one or two more players, and I've had good luck meeting folks through these forums in the past. :) There are four of us at the moment, and we generally play every Saturday night. We meet in the vicinity of SLC, and you wouldn't have to commit to playing every...

    How long have you been a DM?

    17 years and counting. :) I have strengths and weaknesses, but one of the keys to my continued enjoyment of GMing has been that I've never stopped learning how to be a better GM. Sounds corny, but it works. ;)

    What do you like best about being a GM?

    Like the most: I'd have to go with being surprised by my players -- the unexpected is always more interesting for me. Right up there with that, though, is the sense of immersion (also my favorite thing about being a player, usually), where I can visualize clearly what's happening in the game...

    [Sept] What Are You Reading?

    I'm plodding through The Historian, which is pretty underwhelming. Somehow it's managed to stay above my "I'm going to stop reading this" threshold, but not by much.

    I hand waived 6 levels...

    I can't remember the source, but someone once did something similar with a white dragon that was actually a "wight dragon." Dastardly. ;)

    Tonight is Threshold

    I was worried after the first ten minutes, laughing at the wrong times after twenty minutes, and thoroughly bored after an hour. Compared to other recent premieres -- like HBO's Rome, and Prison Break -- this didn't measure up well. Bleh.

    Instrumentals Soundtracks for SciFi games?

    I wrote a post about gaming soundtracks on Treasure Tables, my weblog for GMs, and there are a couple of sci-fi offerings mentioned there -- notably Halo and The Chronicles of Riddick. The full post is here. :)

    Dungeonmastering 101 Blog

    This looks like an interesting blog, but you've got posts restricted to team members only, as well as folks with Blogger accounts only. I'd like to leave a comment, and I've got the latter -- but I'm not the former. ;) (And your first 3 comments are spam, which is a bit...odd.)
