Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere, very pressed for time. Running a game (Scepter Tower of Spellgard) for a very diverse group of players (1 experienced player, two novices and a very strong willed "1st edition was the best edition, nothing that encounters me will survive"...

So I'm happy to support my favorite game system and, while I think the PC only tools they're wasting (apparently) hundreds of thousands of dollars are on are... a total waste, I like the dragon and dungeon content, and the idea of a well maintained database of information. And the idea that...

This a thread for the L4W Adventure "The Closed Eye." Both IC and OOC posts go in this thread. Players Characters (links coming) Palindrome Tander Tristan Woe Dramatis personæ (may not be updated frequently) Doddoddod - Palindrome's reclusive mentor Lady Glasston - Matriarch of the Glasston's...

So... the judges have sorta been talking about magical items. Per the voting so far players can only use stuff from the PhB but we haven't technically decided what DMs can use. Of course, as a story element the "magical boat that can take you to the Ilse of the Faires" or "the Elvin Kings...

Please note: this adventure has not been approved yet. Everything below is -just- a 1st draft. (You'll note there's nothing presently on the wiki about the screamer, etc) So I'm planning on running a bit of a mystery. I have the core thesis set up (below). Honestly the "adventure" will be...

This is a thread for people who need help with the character templates, or who would like to report a bug.

I haven't got proper computer access right now so I can't do anything serious today but I've gotten curious about what people are thinking about running. I've been thinking a lot about running shorter games. I think it fits my personality better as well as the constraints of pbp. And shorter...

An attainment is a something a character receives for in character success that identifies a remarkable acheivement or unusual relationship. Sample attainments might be Trusted by the Mayor: You've proved yourself in the eyes of the mayor of Daunton; he trusts you with important or sensitive...

Strident voices have been raised by elder statesmen to the effect that time for xp has not received the consideration it's due and/or that my poll was sucktacular. In consideration of the fact that the latter is certainly true, in a new, expanded format we offer you YAFP (Yet Another *******...

So we've voted and DMs will be able to get some points/credits to give their characters xp Instead of trying to talk about 1 point gets x number of xps lets talk about what we really care about... what is DMing worth? (we can back math where x points = y xp out later) -- For every...

Economics - Realistic All income is tracked (players link to posts), everything (every ale, every boat trip, stabling costs for mounts, cost of living/maintaining a residence/etc) are assessed to characters irrespective of whether they are adventuring or not Pick this if you want to link to...

Forked from: [poll] OOC/DM points Quoting yourself is the height of poor taste but.... I think we ought to have an item judge whose responsibility would be to maintain a google docs spreadsheet with all items awarded to PCs in the game. The spreadsheet would be public info (so everyone can...

Please read the body of the post for examples. Conceptually this is quite a complex situation (and also extremely hotly debated). Before you vote please consider reading the discussion thread on the topic; it includes comments from facilitators (who's opinions diverge wildly), opinions and...

Forked from: If/how to impliment OOC points Re: Yes/No My first though was "great idea" change votes... ...but... ...we already allow people to do that. I've changed my vote. We've always honored people's posts about changing their vote. The current system has gotten us this far, it's...

....join more games? In the last three days I've made two IC posts (that weren't games I'm running). In the last week I've probably made a few more. (I'm in... 6 or so games) I haven't been as on top of the games that I am running, so I suppose I should just focus on that.... but I have to...

For reference I looked at the Guide to Living Eberron's DM credits as far as I can tell it's identical to the LEW (3.x living game)'s implementation. The function and role of the credits is tightly defined: you get stuff for your PC in exchange for DMing games. The more games the better...

Please read the explanations below before voting. Some of the answers may not be what you think they are. There is also some personal opinions.... which probably isn't very appropriate but... whatever... if I think something is a bad idea I feel like it's better to just say it instead of...

this is a thread to talk specifically about races and balance issues. Here is my current position 1. Non-phb Races (aka core races) are fairly easy to anaylze balance for because *they really only have one or combat effecting powers the powers are *...limited use *...substantially identical...

This is a poll about ability score generation method used to create player characters. PLEASE NOTE: VOTES FOR EACH METHOD WILL BE TOTALED BEFORE LOOKING WITHIN THE SEGEMENT UNLESS YOU SAY OTHERWISE (in other words all votes for method 1 will be counted, and all votes for method 2, and so forth...
