    When Adventure Designers Cheat

    I tend to "cheat" quite often while GMing, but only in ways that can be explained in-game. However, I won't give those explanations to the players, instead hoping that the mystery of it propels the PCs to finding out the in-game cause.

    What's wrong with splitting the party?

    Time lapse in tabletop is also a problem. If one group gets too far ahead of the other, by skipping over travel time and such, their actions always have the possibility of retcon by the other group intervening.

    I love my alignment system

    Seems more based of the color flavor from Magic: the Gathering.

    Missing Character Conditions

    I dunno if I like the "You hear something so you wake up" bit. After all, I can sleep through some pretty heavy background noises but still get up at my alarm clock. Under your view, people would just never be able to sleep.

    What's a good thematic build for The Operative?

    I'm speaking about The Operative from the movie Serenity, just to clarify. The reason I ask is because I'm looking to set up a good MBEG for the party so they can feel like they're starting to work their way through the BBEG's resources. In terms of personality and style, it's almost going to...

    How much bonus XP for player logs?

    I'd say the usefulness of having a handy reference for people/places/things you've seen is reward in of itself.

    Why DO Other Games Sell Less?

    It does have a lot of sundering and disarming though. And plenty of grappling in the sense of dogpiling someone into submission, if not outright "test of strength" wrestling matches. And, let's be fair, WWE has a decently big following so it does fit into the entertainment aspect.

    Why I like DMing D&D more than other games.

    I have nothing to say besides agreeing with you entirely.

    Why DO Other Games Sell Less?

    One of the reasons I prefer D&D over WoD (new or old) is that the basic premise of the game (faux magical fantasy) allows for much greater stretches of the ordinary without breaking suspension of disbelief. Want to shoot a rider off a griffin 200 feet in the air? No problem! Want to break down...

    What to run for my players?

    Due to two players of mine having to excuse themselves for the summer due to job opportunities, I've decided to hiatus my current longrunning WoW campaign and run something else for the remaining four players. The general gist of what they'd like to see is a more exploration style campaign...

    So I'm looking to buy a ton of books...

    We've had to deal with theft and such in the past. All the books are stamped with the club logo and marked with a call number in several places of the book. As well, they are kept in a locked cabinet that only the executive council of the club know the combo to. And we did have a sheet posted...

    So I'm looking to buy a ton of books...

    The reason I asked more for d20 books is that we've already got huge lists of Vampire, Mage, Werewolf and other White Wolf games. Outside of that, we have Shadowrun and Paranoia and d20 Modern and Spycraft and Hackmaster. But those don't get played enough to justify expanding the library with...

    So I'm looking to buy a ton of books...

    There's not really much narrowing down that can be done. The books aren't for me personally, but for the gaming club. So I need to find good books that the most people can get use out of.

    So I'm looking to buy a ton of books...

We already have: Core books (PHB, MM, DMG) MM II MM III Complete Arcane/Divine/Warrior/Adventurer Spell Compendium PHB II Tome of Magic What I'm looking for are suggestions for what to pick up. I'd...

    Done with Master of Many Forms

    I'm currently running a Dru5/MoMF 10 in a campaign where I just recently finished out the PrC. The problem is that I don't know what to class into now. I was thinking of taking 5 levels of War Shaper, but I don't particularly like it. Reaping Mauler would be nice if the grapple bonuses worked...

    Wrestling Roleplaying

    I've been hunting about trying to find a good system for simulating a WWE style pro-wrestling situation. HKAT has been suggested, but IMO too much of it is movie based. I was thinking of maybe an odd grouping of WoD, HKAT, and 7th Sea. But if anyone has a good idea, I'd love to hear it.

    9th level, with a twist.

    I ended up going with a Dru 5 / Master of Many Forms 4.

    9th level, with a twist.

    Hi all, Our GM plans to start up a pseudo-campaign to be run whenever our normal game gets cancelled due to normal players not being available and whatnot. It's meant as an extremely high-powered campaign with a lot of meta-fun and probably less than average RPing. We're starting off at 9th...
