Been looking over the Playtest Rulebook today. I'm sorry, I'm just not impressed so far. It's too different a game. I'll likely try a playtest session to see how it goes, but so far my impression is that it is not the game for me. I've been developing a homebrew world for a while and I can't...

Bump for a new solution. I had left a very large and complex map done in Dry Erase on mine for 2.5 months and was just spending a lot of time getting it off, since I didn't have any special cleaning products. I desperation, I tried the Shout Advanced Stain Remover (spray) that I had. Took the...

Without Malice, Irritation or Apology, my answer would be 'no'. Do you still want to play? Yes? Ok, let's rock. (Just remember this conversation ends here) No? Oh well, good luck with your next group. Hope you find something that works for you.

Because like all the cool companies, EN World is going full Evil. Very 21st Century. If everyone else can track your phone and make calls with it, then why not Morrus?

DC 27. My Bard; Bluff +29 Diplomacy +32 Intimidate +24 Arcana, History, Religion (if needed) +23 each Streetwise +27 Yup, needs some mods or I just roll six times and end up with the meeting, the pass phrase to the Princesses chambers and an invite for a weekend at their summer palace.

Sounds reasonable. Going to have to think about it a bit.

I think the single worst thing any GM can do is plan for the conclusion. If you expect and demand the players do X (and don't tell them this), then you are planning for failure. Players will come up with options and ideas that have never crossed your mind, and sometimes never in a million...

Yeah, a DM Save is pretty much an admission of failure on the part of the GM. But then, sometimes the die rolls just go the wrong way. We faced 24 Dread Wraith minions plus some Sand Golems in our last session, with five 24th level characters. If the rolls had gone the wrong way and if...

Responded to your email. The one character I want to play in 3.5 that I have not had a chance to is a Druid. Sunday once or possibly twice a month would work for me.

Ah yes, that reminded me of a first-and-last session of a new group of total strangers. I'd pretty much erased it from my mind, it's so vile. One of the players apparently used one of the host's bath towels as toilet paper. Session ended, game over, group disbanded at the first meeting...

I had one guy who would do crap like that but try to make it more "realistic". Unfortunately, he was an idiot and his idea of being reasonable was that every single die roll was a 16. I have a really easy answer for that kind of cheating. It doesn't count. You pretend to roll a number and...

Say, since you have so many of them, can I borrow one for....well, ever?

Twice; I answered a Gamers Wanted from this board. A guy was running a game just a couple of miles from my apartment. The first warning sign was that I actually showed up and he says, very curtly "Oh, I didn't think you were coming" What? Odd that, given that we had not interacted at all...

Many over the years, but the worst; A 17 year old obnoxious kid. Came into my house with muddy shoes despite being told to take them off at the door and proceeded to sit cross legged on my futon (which fortunately had an old blanket over it), muddying it up. He ate sunflower seeds the whole...

"Thumbs up, would do again."
