Honestly, the contents of this thread are what a 'DM screen' sold in shops should contain. Infinitely more useful.

If it replicates the tone and feel of the books, your character will be dead 5 to 10 minutes after you finish creating him :D

Yeah, I saw that mentioned here and there, I may take a look at that. I still have a big pile of Dungeons around though, so I'm hesitant to go spending a chunk of change on one big set of adventures when I have so many others. On the other hand, there is some appeal to a fully laid out set of...

Got it, I'll look that over Hmm, the DMG2 covered that in some detail at the beginning, it sounds similar. I know all of my friends very well, and vice versa, so the 'figuring out' info is somewhat less useful than the 'do this' info. There aren't any personality conflicts, I don't have to deal...

Which is tricky when your entire group is new :) Still, even failing ALL other aspects of the game, D&D makes for a fairly entertaining skirmish combat game. My group is all tactically minded, and we've played together (in other types of games, video games, online games, etc) for years, so we...

Ooh, great link, thank you. I was just discussing the possibility of running mini adventures for two of my more enthusiastic players, so those should do nicely for that purpose. I also realized that I haven't really *used* the DMG (mechanically) yet. It rarely seemed to get referenced while we...

Which really, is a much more impressive topic title than the content you are likely to find here :p My friends and I just recently decided to start playing D&D (3.5), and as I was the driving force behind this, I'm now in the DMs chair, frantically attempting to recall rules, arbitrate the...

Socially proficient customers and employees who smell nice. I dearly wish I was joking.

You're not alone. I don't feel comfortable discussing some topics when I have a distinct lack of experience. The other deterrant is when threads venture into what I can only describe as 'creepy social territory'. There are some really disturbing stories of players/dms/parties etc, and I'm far...

Years of pointless discussion on the internet, from usenet to web forums has greatly dampened my enthusiasm for random posting. And when I see a topic I would be interested in contributing to (or think of one I'd consider worth posting), the amount of effort in making a worthwhile post is...

If you're even the slightest bit interested in Glorantha, I can't recommend this game enough http://www.a-sharp.com/kodp/ You play as a tribal chieftan in the dragon pass, struggling to keep your tribe alive, negotiate and fight with rival tribes, forge a clan, a kingdom, discover the secret...

As a DM? Not yet, I'm just barely considering starting. As a reader? Absolutely :) It's inspiring, and frequently, very entertaining to read. I've thought about doing something similar from a newbies perspective - write a journal here cataloging my efforts to start as a new DM with a new group...

Fascinating thread. I have to say, out of all of the gaming stores I've visited, I've only encountered a *tiny* handful of people at any of them that I was comfortable spending time with, or interacting on any social level. The bulk were of the fat/greasy/unkempt/unwashed/loud/obnoxious type...

Cool, that Crystal Keep stuff is excellent. Given those lists, I can just pull the added stuff out of Races and then compile the whole mess in some easily digestible format for my players.

Thanks for the links, I'll check out some reviews. Does anyone know about the more FR specific stuff?
