Interested to hear peoples thoughts on this. One thing I really like about PbP is that it allows both players and the DM to develop the PC's and NPC's personalities moreso than playing at the tabletop. The downsides of PbP is the obvious glacial pace at which it moves. I have been giving some...

One of the problems with older editions is that a lot of classes (like the fighter) did not have any options in each round of combat - it was basically "I swing with my sword/axe/hammer" and that was it. 4E "fixed" this by giving each class a number of options each round through at-wills...

Roll20 is a "virtual tabletop" similar to MapTool or OpenRPG which allows you to play role playing games online. One of the things that is great about Roll20 is that it is very simple - no complex connection problems - its browser based so I give you a link and thats all you need to play. For...

Does anyone have any tips or advice for creating PC's with personality? My players could definitely use some help bringing their characters to life - we have made some steps in terms of backstory and then introducing elements of that into the game - but at the table they still very much feel...

I have already created a couple of posts about my campaign which is based heavily on Chris Perkins "Iomandra" setting. One of the things I would like to have is a caste society - it will give the campaign a different flavour and reinforce some of the main tenets of the setting. I would...

I will soon be starting my Paragon campaign and am hoping you can provide me with some ideas re: things for my players to spend their money on. At Level 12 the monetary value of the treasure parcels is 26k - what interesting and fun things can I let my players spend their hard won gold on? I...

As I mentioned in a previous thread I am starting a Paragon level campaign soon which borrows heavily from Chris Perkins "Iomandra" setting. While some of the citizens may worship other gods the two main gods in the setting are Bahamut and Tiamat. My main goal is not to paint Bahamut as the...

Not too sure if this is the correct forum for it - if not please let me know. I am looking for assistance with my D&D campaign - which is heavily based on Chris Perkins "Iomandra" game which is a large island chain where each island is ruled by a different dragon overlord. Anyway what I am...

I am starting a new campaign soon - would be interested in hearing some different creation methods you have used in your campaigns to create interesting characters. I would also be interested if you tried creating characters at the same time as the other players and how those types of group...

I understand that most Barbarians do one thing very well - charge in and hit stuff hard. Out of combat though is there much you can do with them? With no "adventure skills" like Stealth or Thievery and no "face skills" like Diplomacy or Bluff they seem like they might be a bit boring to play...
