Hey! I'm a lifelong gamer, but a recent resident of the Fargo/Moorhead area, and am looking for a group to potentially join, or GM. I have more experience as a GM than as a player, but am very interested in playing, especially right now. I have experience with a wide variety of games, both...

I've played T&T and D&D my entire life. Actually, until about 5 years ago, I mainly played T&T. It's not very well suited for a series or long-running campaign, but it can be fun as hell for one-shots or mini-campaigns of dungeon-delving. It definitely lends itself towards humor as opposed to...

Dungeonland is one of my favorite adventures I've ever run! I ran it (with parts of the sequel, The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror) as a semi-dream sequence in my hombrew 4E/Call of Cthulhu/Land of Oz campaign with momentous success! My players have been yearning to revisit it ever since!

I haven't finished reading the thread, so bear with me. I played 4E from when it came out until about 2 months ago. A fundamental part of D&D since it was originally released has been designing your own solutions for things not covered by the rules. On the surface, 4E may seem limited, but...

Is this not simply a human DM? I saw this just skimming through, and being an avid role-player and PC gamer (I love the Neverwinter Nights games), I'm a little confused as to how this argues for either side, it seems instead to be a form of compromise.

I don't have any Pathfinder experience (yet), but from my experience, games which require a battle mat tend to take significantly longer to resolve battles than games which do not. For example, the last two campaigns I've run (4E and CoC) have had significantly differing lengths for combat...

Veles was a slavic deity whose primary domain was sheep, and he fought so hard to protect them, that he became the god of fighters. Later, he was deemed so 'down to earth' that he was made god of the underworld in addition to his other two domains. He was an all-around nice guy. Then the...

I often go to the source for my supplies, and occasionally for a special event, but I live about an hour away. Is this a consistant thing, where you have to be there every week, or is this more in the vein of D&D encounters?

Story-wise, I almost think the changeling needs to accompany them, but actually it wouldn't have to be carried, because it's going to be able to walk. Diety-wise, I have no problem with the pathfinder panthion, but for at least this game I'm going to use the Tuatha de Danaan of gaelic...

I will also be writing up a quick overview of the area/mini-campaign world the adventure takes place in, as certain races are either changed or ommitted, and the overall feel of the world needs to fit into a certain niche, requiring me to detail dieties, changes to certain fey creatures, and the...

I haven't decided yet exactly what kidnaps the child, but I was thinking a Derro, although a Lurker in the Light does seem well-fitted. They wouldn't encounter this creature until the end of the adventure, at which time, after a possible combat encounter, it would offer them the doppleganger...

I've been thinking about it, and I am changing a few things, notably the length of time before the changeling is discovered and the Leprechaun. The Leprechaun is now a fomorian (a fairie which steals the body parts of humans and animals to replace its own) who requires a sacrifice of a limb...

I run games of both Call of Cthulhu and D&D (with a few other systems on the side), and have recently dropped my D&D game. Some of my players want to try out Pathfinder, and so I've decided to make my own adventure. Now here's where it gets interesting; I absolutely adore the horror genre...

Thanks for the suggestions; like I said, this is something I've never really had to deal with before, and as such am a little unsure as to the right direction. I'm glad that I was wrong with my assumption that perhaps I should kill his character.

Alright, I'll keep that in mind. My plan was to give him a warning when he first argued, and then simply kill his character if it persists (although that was a major starting point for the whole affair). I hate killing characters simply for out of game retribution, and I've never done it...
