I never understand the whole "it's too easy" thing. First, you have to find a 9th+ level Cleric who is willing and interested in doing it on someone who is probably a complete stranger, has the material component handy (I don't hand wave that) and who can be found, contacted and be available...

I'm ambivalent about meta-plots. I don't play a lot of published settings and I almost never read books based in them, so I don't give a rat's butt about what some book says about what may or may not have happened in the City of Buscuits. I've played more than enough games where "X plans to...

I watched the first season and a half or so of Angel, then lost all interest as it kept spiralling into more and more "grim and gritty". Not their fault, all mine. I was getting extremely tired of "grim and gritty" in life, in movies, in my D&D games. Just got so depressing and uninteresting...

I'm thinking to base my game on a robin hood setting, and I don't want the merry men being cut down every time they try to rob someone. One of the major flaws in D&D and especially in the way it is run is the problem of how people get away from their enemies. Forests give cover, concealment...

As others have said, "So what's wrong with the strong, silent type?" While I would prefer more role-play out of some people at the table, I have to be honest in that not every player or PC is well suited toward extravagant role-play. And that's the bottom line, isn't it? That only the...

Haven't actually played one as a PC, but I used a Kobold Warlock 2 against my party with limited success (my to hits sucked!). I've seen enough that I've cooked up a Warlock 6 as a good mid-level Villain. I love that he can make such good use of all the stuff his Wizard and Cleric associates...

"Flesh does what it is told", as Morden once said. I voted for Morden, Bester and Cartagia. All were just too good as villains go.

Well, if you were going to live for more than a thousand years, were very powerful and in some repects, a target for certain people who wanted your alleged horde of wealth, wouldn't you take the occasional 20-50 year "sabbatical" from living as a Dragon and explore the humanoid world around you...

As the Silver Pyromancer has a level of Cleric, it may be best to make it a cleric of the same god, saying that this person is from the same organization as the PC. This gives a natural connection. In a game that ended this spring, my Wizard took Leadership and took a Bard cohort. We didn't...

That one gets on my nerves real fast. Tends to make players grumpy when my response becomes "The same way it worked last time. You have a PHB, You figure it out.". The last group I ran, which was under 3.0 rules, used a big white-board for a battle mat. No grid, just freeform. Old minis...

Hey, it worked for the first two guys, didn't it?

Session 3 Story Summary As the Kobolds retreat across the road, the party gathers themselves together and prepare to go after them. Not in too great a hurry, the party gathers their stuff and walks up to the road, fearing an ambush. With the Kobolds nowhere in sight, Kethra begins looking for...

Ahem. You're doing that in front of her kids too. If you step down to that level, you don't have much of a right to complain about the level of interaction. That being said, sometimes it's eminently satisfying to step down... Back in my day, if you complained to parents about the actions of...

I'm pretty much sure that Customer Service died about the same time as Corporate Loyalty To Their Employees. Assuming that such things ever really did exist.

So either Erik is the evil one, or this guy was just playing you. Oh wait. What am I thinking? He's a Used Car Salesman. Of course he's the Evil One. :D (Um, did he have a goatee or beard? Does Erik?)

And that, Sir, is a thing of beauty. :lol:

Ah yes. The guy who stops the game cold to either complain that you're doing things wrong (followed by a big argument only ended by consulting the rule book) or to bitterly complain that "my old group did things such-and-such way and that's the way I prefer it". To which my answer, if I'm not...

What? Wait....you ROLEPLAY???? What a bunch of sick, twisted freaks! :lol: Good story!

Mr./Ms. Spoiler Takes great pleasure in wrecking havok on the party's plans, on playing stupid at the wrong time. Played in a game where the GM's girlfriend played a low-wisdom Scout who was constantly (intentially, on the part of the player) spoiling our plans, blurting out the wrong words...

Been there, seen that. Now I have one 'in-character' question: "What do you contribute to the group?". If the answer is "nothing", then I refuse to adventure with you. You're less than no help, you're a liability. That doesn't mean that I won't play with the player, it just means that I...
