Here's a question which has caused me to shy away from bringing romance into the game: how should the DM handle PCs falling in love? In my game, if two PCs want to have a romantic relationship they can; but what about relationships between PCs and NPCs? Is it OK for the DM to tell a player...

Unbelieveable. :mad: Then again, you have to ask yourself - do I want to be hanging out with a bunch of idiots like this? As a male gamer, I hate it when neanderthals like this embarrass my gender by this sort of behaviour. I'd ditch the morons in an instant - and good for you for doing just...

Hmmm... I've only ever played in one organised "gaming group" (as opposed to getting together with friends). This group had a mixture of personalities, but two or three out of five were the proverbial people with poor social skills, a lust for "twatting" (i.e. hitting) any NPC they saw and a...

Hi - I've been lurking here awhile, and been having a lot of fun with this cool forum. I'd like some advice from other DMs out there. Any tips you can give me would be much appreciated. I've just started running a game (with new players) for the first time in 3 years. I'm an experienced DM but...
