I have been reading up on Mongoose Traveller for some time now and I was wondering where the best place to look for an IRC or PBP game might be found. I would love to run one, but right now I don't have enough time to provide a weekly game for my players, but I would definately be into joining...

A prison for the insane god of creation. A complex device created by the gods in which the mortal races are only an unwitting cog. But due to the unwitting actions of certain individuals, the prison is slowly coming unraveled...

In my last game the cleric used rune of peace on a drunk dwarf by crushing his knuckles with a stein.

7.5/10 Was amused, would be amused again.

11) the alright 12) the intolerable 13) the dead 14) the sequestered 15) the just fine 16) the guy, you know, that guy 17) the circumpolar 18) the sophisticated 19) the dragonfondler 20) the hat wearer

Definately a great tip. Thanks for pointing it out! I think most good DMs do this unconciously at least in part, but making a concious effort to do so is definately a great idea.

Im asking for a subscription for Christmas. Everything looks so damn good! Semi-related. Do new subscribers get the back issues too?

Ah, I understand how it might be a touchy subject then, that WOULD suck. However, no, the REQUIRED use of crystals is limited to things that are a BIG DEAL for the party in the first place. They can also be used to make alot of things better or more convinent, but destroying souls for...

Protagonist: I left out some details, there is quite a bit more to this, I just wanted to get the gist across. Let me sum up their deal with: Dey a Cult! (again, the story is more complex, but thats why they would do it, technically, for free) I am hoping that the PCs come to the same...

I'm glad you guys are shooting me approval, but lets here some of your own stories! I know I walk in the valley of the rat bastard DM, etc etc. To The Thayan Menace: By ANY of my points I assume you mean any that the players dont already know. I would be pretty impressed if you guessed my gist...

This is Grey. My players stay out! Anyhoo, I have a particularly nasty plot trick that the players are slowly uncovering that I am quite proud of. Figured I would come share here for some new content, maybe you can share similar evil! Okay, soh: The party has been running into these...

If your allys dont get bloodied than hey! Life is good! But in my DMing experience, no encounters have gone by where no PCs became bloodied. I'm not sure, but it might be true that no encounters have gone by where at least TWO PCs got bloodied! Bloodied is a condition that is almost always up...

I thought OP was saying that her daily WAS acid dragon breath.

dragonborn breath is a encounter, not a daily. This is really important. My level 1 party, who arent really into powergaming mind you, defeated a level 4 solo at level 1 after going through 6 level 3 encounters without an extended rest. They rolled okay, but not poorly or exceptionally. Either...
