    Wuxia and D&D

    step one: improved unarmed combat for all and for free step two: everyone can buy as much jump as they want. step three: find a copy of the "dragon fist" rpg. steal, steal, steal ideas. If you can't find that or don't feel like doing an easy conversion to d20 (consider it half way between 2e and...

    Laptops at the gaming table

    I have not written anything down on paper for a game I was running since i got my laptop. adventures are just word docs with book name and page numbers for encounters with bad little ms paint maps when nessissary. I find that being able to quickly refference three books in a single encounter...

    What to do with dirt-phobic PCs?

    Any character that is not self motivated to adventure is a poorly designed character imho. To lessen hardship on others, because if he doesn't do something it might not get done, because it's the right thing to do, to get in good with the locals, and in this specific situation "because my...

    Kill the gods, your experience

    I recently ran a game where the climactic battle to end it was with Bane. He was making his play to rule the world with all of his forces going on the offensive across the world. The other gods had been weakened by a ritual that bane had spent years working on and many of them had been killed...

    Considering engineering a TPK

    If a group of players does not want to play the style of game I want to run, I'm not putting the effort in to create adventures. I don't really do canned adventures all that often so if I'm not going to enjoy the experience, I'm not going to waste my time. With that said, the games I run tend to...

    Considering engineering a TPK

    Here's the thing, by wiping the party you have done nothing to change the style of play that your group will want to play. It's just going to keep happening time and time again. Let them play their characters but emphasize the social/political aspect as much as you want. Punish them for not...

    How do you feel about DM PCs?

    I hate them when they take the position of equal or superior to the PC's. With that said, I have run a knight's squire for him or a wizard's apprentice. If the PC's hire a cleric or some other class to get them through a spot they lack the skills for, I'll run it so it doesn't end up as fodder...

    Help me sell D&D to newbies!

    here's what I reccomend you not do. Don't dress up as gandalf in chaps, never works out in a good way. board games such as civilization, age of mythology, and WoW, based on computer games could be a primer for getting people into DnD. If a person is completely against the idea of playing...

    When i saw union up there, i couldn't remember where it was from or the content within until i read further in the thread. I just had this overwhelming irrational hatred pop up and snapped at a coworker. Goodbye to the level 76 turd.

    Most Unplanned Party Wipe

    The party was level 9. It was a random encounter in Cormanthor with 8 level 2 drow rogues. the two pc's on watch both rolled 1's for their spot, listen and saves vs the poison. two other pc's failed the save vs drow poison, leaving only three to take on the encounter. they took down half the...

    Magical gizmos an arms dealer might sell?

    A belt with eight small chains on it. the wearer and any creature holding the end of one of the chains gain silence and invisibility but can see and hear each other. the chains are 3 feet long, allowing a fair bit of movement. Perfect for battlefield recon before the fight.
