    Confession: I like Plot

    Never. When the dice hit the table, something tangible is going to happen. There are going to be consequences. The world might change, the character might change but something is going to happen. I don't like using those techniques. You do and more power to ya but it isn't the way everyone...

    Confession: I like Plot

    Words like plot and story get us into trouble, I think because at the gaming table they mean different things to different people. I don't want plot so much as situation. The players are orc whose horde has been decimated and they are now stuck behind enemy lines, deep in elven lands. The...

    MtG, D&D and Me TITLE NAME EDIT-The thread where Joe apparently offends everyone

    Who you happened to notice when you were in the store doesn't say much. What Barnes and Noble is dedicating shelf space towards, that might be something. Mayhaps gaming needs to take a peak at Manga in terms of content , game play and layout. I think there is something to that.

    Gettinig Better At Describing A Scene

    I like to go with what folks see and one other sense, tossed in for some flavah. If the setting is kind of alien and odd, I'll use similes to make it understandable. Once there was an odd city of monsters on the back of a giant turtle who lived in coral towers. Everyone immediately got it...

    King Arthur + Cthulhu + XPH

    There was a thread sorta-kinda-maybe like this on RPG.net a long while ago with some Ars Magica tossed into the mix. Here are my favorite bits that I threw into the Lovecraftian Arthur/Arthurian Lovecraft stew.

    Nexus Towers, vampiric architecture, take life from the poor and this life is used to defend the cities's walls. Protected by these towers, cities have grown, devouring the steppes, the forests and deserts of the world. I read a bit about Praxus and just couldn't find any damned conflict. To...

    Daggers & Deviltry

    We through the book through the gate. The gate closed. The gate became a god. Let me know if I lose you. I'm not sure if the Dungeon Master was going by the module here or was making :):):):) up and I didn't care. This was cool-ass :):):):). Turns out, Vecna had founded this dungeon first...

    Blood Feud: A world torn between the Demon Prince of the Gnolls and the Ghoul King

    I was just thinking about that. I reckoned that I would scale them down a bit or have the players first hit a single scaled down Gnoll with some human-slave minions. Any thoughts or suggestions?
