For my current game; The Republic of Freetown, facing threats from Kobolds to the West and unable to exploit it's southern reaches due to large numbers of Ankhegs, put out a call (through a semi-secret organization) to various Masters of the land. 'Send us the best of your apprentices'. The...

(additional Postscript) Along the walk north, the former captives seek out members of the party to discuss their captivity. A man named Marek was held the longest, just over two months. He was captured with two others while out gathering mushrooms and roots, a victim of Janx and his Wand of...

(Session 6) The group spends the night with the Burberry tribe. Jack spends much of the time speaking to their current leader and the tribal elder, a 90-something year old woman. While the elder takes great pride in having survived the last four invasions by the Calaseans, Jack covers his...

Some random non-serious ideas; 1. Change the name to "The Redheads". 2. Move them south and change the name to "The Rednecks", complete with trailer trash mascot. 3. "The Washington Lobbyists".

1. Check your local laws regarding animal licensing. Check the penalties involved. Some communities enact a fine for unlicensed animals. If this is the case, start calling the police. 2. City Inspectors. If they have the run of the basement and are doing this much damage, then the house...

Seems more likely to me that at least half the people will whine and complain, but eventually comply. The rest - good riddance. I like some consistency in my game, please, and I don't put up with spoiled children. Besides, I have mechanics in place for replacing characters if you want to do...

My response to that nonsense; "No, he doesn't. Like just about everyone in the world, he has an ounce of self-esteem. Maybe he even thinks he's the uber-****. You're not simply having your character "walk off" and creating a new one every time you get a wild hair up your butt. If you want...

A pit that is like a Bat-Pole/Wallace and Gromit machine that dresses the PC like a Balor, gives him an evil aura, then teleports him into the middle of a bunch of high level Paladins. "But....but I'm NOT a Balor" "Sure you aren't..." (Smite, Pow, Bash, Smite, Smite, Smite!) (a very short...

Consider if a 'wormhole' or gateway were to have opened between part of this world at (pick any time in history, any place in the world) and an as-yet Humanless D&D world. To the humans of this world, at least from most of our history and most of our cultures, the races of the D&D world would...

I'm not real big on adding a huge mechanic here. Maybe if no one saw it coming, I could justify "surprise". But in most cases, you're just begging for a large scale argument about "How could we be surprised when we were all standing around with our hands on our weapons???" In this case, they...

Everyone always wants to go first... Improved Initiative? The downside is if you do get a really good initiative and everyone else goes late in the round, then your foolhardy Wizard has just run out in front to cast his short ranged spell, and he's going to get slaughtered as the bad guys...

I played a Monk/Rogue up to Monk 4 / Rogue 8 in an Eberron campaign. I didn't have the untouchable AC that some here list, nor did I have mongo hit points. I did, however, have an 18 strength, a Monk Belt and both the Ascetic Rogue and Improved Natural Attack feats, giving me unarmed damage of...

I think that everyone else has pretty much answered the Question. What alignment is the Ranger? If he's less than good, I could easily see working with that Human, with the eventual plan to turn on him when the original job is done. A 'leave no witnesses' kind of thing. Maybe even playing...

I realize that it is the "Signature Power" of the Kineticist. And since I have one in my game, I'm not willing to 'just take his toy away' by GM fiat. In yesterday's session, I let him know that I'm thinking that it's a bit over-powered and that I was going to see if I could find any follow-up...

I saw some discussion on the General Board about how Energy Missile had been hotly debated as far as whether or not it was over-powered for a second level psionic power. Can anyone point me at those threads? Or simply overview them for me here? I have a Kineticist in my game who uses it all...

One of the things I've never been completely happy with is rolling initiative when someone says that they do something that forces combat. As of this last session, I have implemented a system whereby the first person who says "I cast/attack/pull out X/whatever", forcing an initiative roll, is...

I'ts a whole new Baal game now, folks!

D&Diablo A version of D&D where the players only want to walk around and have things attack them. They're only concerned with killing things and taking their stuff. Nothing more. Period. Monsters are stupid and MUST attack to the death. Plots are for sissies. Insta-kill Monster Monsters...

Pretty much my opinion as well, with a side order of My first option would be to openly speak at the table about leaving town, or otherwise NOT fighting the Dragon. Gauge the GM's reaction to this. The next step, should he insist that you continue, would be to call a Come To Jesus Meeting...
