    Libraries in your game

    If you are talking a truely huge library I can't imagine them allowing books to be let out. Who ever spent the time to put all this stuff together doesn't want it walking out the door and down the street. Most of the time you have a library aid...there is no card catalogue after all. So...

    adventure design

    I also don't base exp of encounters. I think the exp per session is the better way to go, it makes this more manageable and lets non-combat chars not feel so bad for saying "lets go around the goblins, guys" which often translates to 'sorry you didn't get those extra 30 exp you needed'

    Why can't I kill my pc's. Just once?

    I dont' know how to quote but this : Also you're not using your monsters to their fullest advantage. Cleric casting Harm? pfft! That is so 3.0.

    Dm trouble, who has the reigns?

    (oo my first thread, I am not certain this goes here, but I didn't see another place to post on this sort of topic) Hilo, so here is what is up. I DM for a group of guys pretty steadily, however I have been out of the loop for a time when I was away. When I returned there was a new RPer in...

    Campaign Ended by... Bad Dice Rolls.

    Wow I have never heard of this happenning, we must be lucky. Normally my mindset is 'roll with the punches' and as the bad dice come up, make a fun story line out of it...but gosh it sounds like you are all having just a hard time.

    One player has problems with character deaths....

    tough times You are in a really tough spot with your initial trouble. I don't know what I would do with midnight, though with DND I always approached it by not approaching it. You know he doesn't want to die, let him know that it "may" happen. Then he will think about his actions, and you...
