I renewed my CS Account on April 12, 2006. Then I promptly moved, had my computer get damaged, fixed it (twice), and haven't been on in a while. Somewhere in that I hear there was a server crash. My account does not appear to have been (re?)activated. If someone could look into that, I would...

Two Words. Tucker's Kobolds. If you have the Dragon magazine archives its issue #127. I'll see if I can't dig it up and post a synopsis.

The dreams are about / from one of the BBEGs most trusted, and skilled minions. Here's the text of the first dream: You find yourself standing in darkness. A damp fog surrounds you. Ahead of you two 2 green lights glow faintly. A chilling female voice whispers "Darkness...." The fog...

I'm restarting my high level campaign. When we ended the characters had just reached 20th level. I'm sending them email teasers about the impending restart. I am using sort of a movie trailer feel to them. The will all end like this Coming soon to a gaming table near you... *name of...

Fast Service Wow! That's fast service! Thanks Morrus. Once again I really appreciate your hard work on the site. (and the work of the volunteers, too!) Thanks, Ostler

So, I went to RPGNow and signed up for a one year community supporter account. That was on Sept. 2nd. How long does it take to set up the account? I emailed Morrus with my info that same day but I have not heard anything back... Not complaining just wondering. I love the site and know...

So, I'm restarting my high level game soon. (I keep saying that...) I starting trying to figure out who the BBEG was going to be and what he/she was doing that would affect the characters. I recently began reading the Sovereign Stone novels and I really like the BBEG in them. I have some...

As I said in a different post I'm starting my high level game back up (20th level). One of my players expressed concerned over how often we have been playing in the current game that will be replaced by the high level game. His concern was that infrequent gatherings could make it difficult to...

I'm going to restart my high level campaign soon. I have a diverse group NPCs lined up for various places in the campaign world. I have been considering having "Special Guest Players" play some of the NPCs. Basically I would coach the person on all aspects of the NPC. ie. Their opinion of...

How do you get a player to think more like their character? I have a player that has played a lot of computer roleplaying games but this is his first tabletop RPG. He plays his character like he would a computer character, if he dies he'll just start a new one. Or bring the dead one back...

I'm looking for ideas for "Quirks" to give to magic items. Things that detract a little from the value of the item but not enough that characters want to get rid of the items. For example, +3 Longsword of Singing The sword grants the bearer the cleave feat during combat and does an...

I'm looking for a way to have the characters take damage but not know how much exactly. So instead of "You take 12 points of damage" I'd like to say something more cinematic that would give the player an idea of how hurt they are without using numbers. I'd still use hit points but the...

So I'm going to be restarting my high level campaign soon. (Players keep pestering me.) Given the amount of information I will need to keep track of I'm thinking about becoming a Laptop DM. I have a AMD K6/2 500Mhz laptop that is otherwise unused so I figured I could devote it to gaming...

I'm looking at getting a SRD product for the 3.5 rules. The two I know of are the one from CMG http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1929& and the one from Cartography Unlimited http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=1947& Anybody seen both? Which is better? Thanks

Thought I'd try an experiment. Post a spell and then a description of a creative way to use the spell against a party. For example: From the SRD: Simulacrum Simulacrum creates an illusory duplicate of any creature. The duplicate creature is partially real and formed from ice or snow. It...

My wife was actually a gamer before I was. She got me started. Now I run 2 games (soon to be 3?) play in 1 game and may join another game soon. And don't even get me started about the number of gaming books, pdfs, minis... She created a monster....

I purchased Beyond Monks so I could see if she liked the Martial Artist class. (she's big into judo). I explained how it worked and we discussed ways she could customize her character. She made the changes but continued to have trouble with basic rules like combat. Her husband knows it's a...

Tempting....very tempting...

A high level campaign that I DM'd for about two years has been on hiatius since my son was born six months ago. We have resumed other campaigns and my players are anxious to restart this one as well. I have been putting them off because there is a situation with a player that I find...

My players have been pestering me to restart my high level campaign. (Currently on hold after the birth of my son 6 months ago.) I was thinking it would be rat-bastardly to send out teasers periodically for a couple of weeks while I get things prepared. Sort of like movie trailers. Anybody...
