    Turn Based Strategy?

    Space Empires If you're into space games, I'd give Space Empires a try. There's a lot of reply value in the game, and I really like the idea of being able to design my own spaceships and then use them in fleet actions. http://www.malfador.com/

    Dust Of Sneezing And Choking

    This is especially painful for a DM if your PCs wielding the dust are wearing necklaces of adaption. :|

    Reach weapons vs. large targets

    Situation: a medium sized fighter wielding a longspear is attacking an ogre. The fighter is adjacent to the ogre. Question: since the fighter can't attack an adjacent square with his longspear, can he choose to attack one of the rear squares of the ogre? If so, do cover rules apply?

    Anyone use Brookhurst Hobbies?

    Another thumbs up for Brookhurst I ordered some small bireme and trireme minis from them and got them quickly. Great customer service.

    Animate Dead, is it really worth it?

    Gray Renders are also great undead. Basically anything you kill in your adventuring has the potential to become your minion. Pretty powerful, IMO. Get this, female my kobold sorcerer took Leadership as a feat and chose an evil cleric cohort (it was an evil campaign). After one nasty...

    Am I a cruel DM?

    If you read swrushing's reply, you'll find that he was talking about his performance as a DM, not particular plot twists that some PCs might like, and others dislike.

    Am I a cruel DM?

    I'm with FireLance on this one. You can't please all the players all the time, but you sure can try as hard as you can to reach that goal! If a player of mine was mad, actually mad, at the end of a session, or frustrated over the course of a campaign, I'd feel like I'd bear some of the...

    Leadership feat or roleplaying

    I allow the Leadership feat in my campaign but I warn the player that s/he should not take too much time during his or her turn. We use a 1 minute turn clock. I'll allow another 30 seconds or so on the clock if the player has a cohort. As a player, I loved the feat. It made my kobold...

    Am I a cruel DM?

    I may have missed this in the thread, but did the DM give ample Bluff/Sense Motive opposed skill checks during the conversation with the gnomes? If the DM gave enough chances for the PCs to discover the true motives of the gnomes, then I think it's okay the way the story unfolded. If...

    How do I make my undead adventure interesting for the rogue?

    I made up a ring that allows a rogue to use his sneak attack ability on undead/constructs 3 times a day. That way, he can do some good damage at least in some encounters, but he can't do it all the time.

    Distracting players. How to deal with them?

    I wrote the following in big, red, letters on a sheet of paper: Pay Attention Please Whenever my players start side conversations or aren't paying attention, I stop talking and hold up this sign until I've got eye contact with everyone. Then I resume the game. I think eye contact is...
