    [Iron Heroes] What's this game all about?

    Having run a game from lev 1-17 using the system let me say a few things. There is much potential for abuse of the feat system. a few of the chains to be frank are a bit much, specifically the one that increases the ammount of dr provided by armor. It makes many of the high level monsters in the...

    Number 20 was the first one that made me laugh out loud at work, where I was really trying not to laugh out loud.

    Rent-A-DM

    A long time ago, there was a situation like this in the town I live in. The owners of a local comic/gaming shop would DM anyone who wanted to play for 5 bucks an hour (for the whole group) with the side note that any character you played could be used in their independent comics and any fiction...

    Help for running Super Heroes game

    I have still never found an equal for the d20 silver age sentinals for sheer ability to do any concept a player can come up with. problem is guardians of order went under so it's a bit hard to find. Of all the supers d20 books, it's the one i thought had the most customizability. The one group I...

    What ruins a campaign?

    My expectations ruin my games. I always try to run the best game that has ever existed. I inevitably am unhappy with what it turns out to be. I usually struggle on for a few more months (my games tend to last about 8 months to a year) and suddenly take a few months off before beginning again...

    playing a paladin in world that is not black and white

    Here is what I would do in such a situation with the details now having been laid out before me. I would lean toward handing the guy over to breland, waiting for them to prove that they either were going to deal with the problem in a satisfactory manner or further action against the man was...

    playing a paladin in world that is not black and white

    A paladin has to hold himself to a higher standard then other people. Even if everyone else exists in a state of moral decay, the paladin is the last shining hope for the way things should be. Lead by example. Stand up to those who's morals may need to be checked. in short, just because everyone...

    Need help in playing lawful characters

    every character has a set of morals just as every person has a set of morals weither they write it down or not. Writing it down does not make the character lawful. lawful characters tend to treat authority figures with respect, try to work within the system when they can (weither for the...

    The Rejection of "Balance" in an RPG

    What it comes down to for me on this subject is that it never bothered me that my thief was not as powerful as the wizard at high levels, or that my human fighter was not the optimal choice. The reason to play a thief was simple: That's what you wanted to play. While i agree that racial level...

    How comprehensive do you want your RPG game system rules?

    I like a fairly light rules set that makes it fairly obvious what the mechanics to determine any action will be. For example I really like how simple the WoD mechanic is, stat plus skill +/- other factors..... roll. I don't need every action listed as long as the examples that are there give me...

    What is your overused plot hook ?

    a dart flies past your head, you hear the sound of running footsteps fleeing in the darkness. and yes, the dart is poisoned with a rare substance that is used only by one group based in a distant land.

    Why Enworld?

    To tell people exactly how they are running their game is wrong and how much better I could be running it. ;) Because there are people here who have interesting things to say about gaming in general. Because my job is so very boring at times. Because I had quit playing DnD when I stumbled on...
