I fully endorse this option, although the one-liner need not be in Japanese, it could very well be said while doing a Schwarzenegger impression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDxn0Xfqkgw More examples of these post-kill one-liners here

"Creativity is hiding your sources" -some hippy physicist

Here you can find many examples of thick stuff being cut in half, or decapitated by the power of sheer heroic awesomeness. I quote:

This is also my approach.

Wow! Thank you! :D That is very generous of you... I sent you a PM asking your location so that I can inquire about shipping charges. Thanks again.

Thanks everyone! :)

Back on topic: Tropes that have been overused to death: 1.- "You all meet in an Inn": Seriously guys! 2.- "You are all in Jail": Seriously, this is NOT an acceptable substitute! 3.- "Everyone is a white-skinned European-lookalike": And no, a token minority party member is not much better.

Hello, everyone! I am currently in need of more dice, and the only semi-local comic-tcg store (I would not call them friendly) has only a few sets of dice and they want too much money for them. Amazon is pretty reliable at getting me RPG books, but they won't ship dice to my location. So I...

Better the occasional zombie or skeleton than a shadow, ghost or wraith... Well, probably the "Jafar-style evil vizier" thing is a tad overused, but having one or two court wizards, a few court clerics of different religions, a court bard (jester) and a few court rogues makes for lively (and...

Hybrid Homebrew for me too: I am running a War of the Burning Sky campaign where the Ragesian peninsula is across the sea from the main continent where the Nentir vale is (think Scandinavia vs the rest of Europe) Dragonborn and Tieflings are not native to this part of the world, and most are...

Ditto on the "spin-down" D20s (which are actually life-counters for MtG, if I remember correctly, not dice per-se) I have played with people using marbled dice with difficult to read numbers that infuriate me... almost to the point where I wish I could buy them a set of flat, ivory colored dice...

Thanks a lot, I'll probably keep everything as-is until adventure 6 and I'll see how it goes... We are really enjoying the first adventure.

Excellent, level 22 is far away enough for me. I will have him be "the hidden menace" behind a lot of the bad stuff happening to the party, so that when they finally are face to face with him, it will be important.

When I asked my players to give me some background for their characters, one of them (Hello Edheldur!) only said: "Hello, my name is _____, you killed my father, prepare to die!" So my solution was to, of course, SAY YES! and introduce Guthwulf as the killer of the character's father in a...

Yeah, don't use the same soundtrack over and over... especially ones with heavy use of leitmotives (like LotR or Star Wars) But that doesn't mean you can't burn a CDr with a few hundred tracks from movie soundtracks and instrumentals and use them for your D&D sessions

What this game needs is more "items with a sense of wonder" like the Decanter of Endless Water and Murlynd's spoon and less "items of +2 to damage"

We'll have to agree to disagree.... and thank you for reminding me of which items I won't allow in my games. Sorry, no... The baseline should be a character with a starting 16-18 in the primary attribute with a "Magic +X" weapon or implement with no additional conditions. It is the assumption...

The best answer is meta: go to the WotC charop forums. Any item that shows there as a "must have" is automatically rare. Any heroic-level item that doesn't have any powers and hasn't become rare due to the previous rule is common. Really! It is perfectly understandable that no one in WotC...

I started a campaign with a "foreshadowing" encounter, because one of the players missed the first session. I gave the players some pre-made characters, all of them arcane users, trying to escape crossing the Ragesian mountains towards Dassen. Then, they are ambused by the inquisitors...

bovine's feces. If the rules (both as written and as intended) clearly state that you need to see the origin and destination to target a creature with teleport effect, then no, you cannot ruin the DM's carefully prepared encounter with that cheese. This doubly applies when the text of the...
