I'm quite surprised Planescape has made it this far. In truth nothing wrong with the setting. Though I always saw it as an add on for the other settings. Sigil is merely a city among the planes a neutral ground of sorts. Though when I think of settings I'm thinking of a game world. Planescape...

I would still allow for the players to roll for their attack's. Just use the pre rolls for saves, checks and surprises. Later Aoric

Omegaxicor, That's fine. I think you could allow both options. One any obvious saving throws the PC's can roll. Any non-obvious are rolled by the DM. If this does not work tell your players to roll a d20 ten times before each session record the rolls for each player. Then when a save is...

Omegaxicor, It was always understood in every game that I played in. Their is positive experience and negative. In most cases negative experience would only apply in cases were players refused to stop meta gaming or just decided to become a game distraction. IMHO that's the harsh part...

Omegaxicor, It truly depends on your group and your players in general. The answer to your question is both yes and no. I've played in games where the Dm rolled all saves and the players rolled attack die and damage dice only. I played in games where pc only rolled for obvious saving throws...

In other words stop using the variant. Instead try my rule and see what your players think. It lessens the amount of dice rolling and moves the combat along much quicker. Besides it will let them know this was about moving along the combat instead of taking control away from the players.;)...

While commenting on the latest playtest packet for D&D next. I offered an alternative rule for weapon and spell damage delivery. Instead of rolling damage based on the weapon used, each weapon is assigned a base and maximum damage range. Example: A hand axe base damage is 3 max damage is 6. Half...

Ok, I see the frustration can you elaborate on the game itself? Twice a week would be too often for me. Though I would be interested is what the actual game entails. Later Aoric

Unfortunately it appears no more gamers to add to my campaign so it has folded. I hope everyone in search of a game has better luck then I have. Later Aoric

I'm a role play heavy kind of player and DM. I don't like long drawn out combat sessions they get old fast. Single combat should resolve quickly, mass combat battles should take longer much more to handle. A 1hour session is not an adventure IMO maybe a session or a side-trek at best. However...

A call for players currently have three players looking for at least three more. Below is a synopsis of the campaign. 3.5 Greyhawk campaign set in Bissel with some 1E and 2E influences. Many factions vie for control of Bissel the Theocracy of Veluna, The Gran March, The nation of Ket , and...

Some of you may know me better under my other moniker Argon alas it was not available when I signed up for ENworld. However with all due respect to everyone else who loves their particular setting for whatever reason. Dungeons and Dragons begins and ends with Greyhawk. Though if it where to...

Ok the first session kicked off on the Bissel campaign. Below is a summary of what occurred. Planting 5th, 590 CY The game began with in the center of Thornward, a middle ground patrolled by recruits of the Knights of the Watch. Merchants are peddling their wares, in the upper left...

Campaign kicked of on September 2nd, Five PC's and a possible sixth on its way. I posted a campaign journal on Canonfire and will post it here as well. Hope you enjoy. Aoric
