    CERAMIC D.M. the final judgement is in!

    ‘Listen child, for I have a story for you that my own mother has told me many times. You must hear it so that you can tell your own children, for there is a lesson to this story that serves our family well. You are a clever one, so I will let you pick out the moral for yourself, and take it to...

    CERAMIC D.M. the final judgement is in!

    Ooo! Let me in! As a long time admirer of the iron DM championships, and a part-time addict/lurker on the ENBoards, I want to put some time into giving something back. Let me at 'em! EDIT: What are the limitations? Do we need to include all four pictures in our tale/adventure? Word limit...

    Scaring players... tips needed!

    Ah, horror. Whenever I finally get around to writing a good story hour, I will make sure to include a couple of old D&D adventures from a year back. Any day now:). Dim lights, yes. Telling the players to bring their own flashlights is another good idea, up to and including the slow dimming...

    A review on how to find gamers (for a gamer in need)

    Hey there, ENWorld folks. I am now facing a quandary that has haunted gamers world wide- just how to find that perfect game. After five years in Indonesia, I am moving home to Calgary, Alberta (in Canada, if you must ask). The local franchise terrorist group let out that they were planning to...

    (OT) It Snowed!!

    Well, I'll be leaving Indonesia and heading directly to Calgary after five years in constant balmy 30 degree weather (Celcius for the stubborn). There's contrast for you. Since we haven't exactly had time to prepare for the move, my family will end up heading directly from the airport to a...

    The Wrath of Mallenar!

    Well, I just don't know SHARK. Being a rabid follower of your strategy threads, I think that the Valloreans still have the advantage here-it's still the bad guys who need our support :). Yet, it's nice to be advising the winning side this time. Here we have the classic Hammer and Anvil...

    Cockatrice Wing, Treant Salad, Troll inna can - An Adventure's Cuisine

    Perish the thought! Any evil DMs want to come up with something nasty for players attempting to eat dire flesh? The Cockatrice Dish Cooking DC: 25 This tasty morsel is favored as a delicacy in the Drow underdark, and has become a sport among young matron mothers of the high houses. Like...

    Cockatrice Wing, Treant Salad, Troll inna can - An Adventure's Cuisine

    Ah, there is another fine point for discussion. Is it a form of cannibalism to eat an intelligent creature in D&D? If so, where could the limits be drawn? Historically, and indeed in the present day, real world cultures have regard animals such as dolphins and monkeys fit for consumption...

    Cockatrice Wing, Treant Salad, Troll inna can - An Adventure's Cuisine

    It is the climatic encounter of our adventurer's saga. The group has crossed the river of Sorta Wide Rapids, surmounted the Kinda Large Mountain, ripped through the Lair of Fairly Ferocious Monsters and blown through the Somewhat Darkish Tunnels of Mild Despair. They now stand before the goal...

    Hitting to subdue and criticals

    Correct me if I'm wrong (please do! I want to know!), but the threshold between knocking a human unconscious and killing them outright is supposed to be fairly low under some situations. For example, those few seconds while blocking someone's windpipe, the minute difference in the forces used...

    Do you sit when you DM?

    From the moment my groups begin to game, I'm up and moving! My players are constantly treated to the sight of their DM pacing, gesturing wildly, and prancing around the living room. It does keep them awake and alert! Part of my movement comes as a byproduct of my abject nervousness in any...

    Sources of Magic

    The fantasy/scifi/religous writer Orson Scott Card purports that all magic must have a price, a serious toll that limits power. While this concept does not apply easily to D&D, I'll synthesize one of his examples as best as I can remember it, so that you might get the general gist of the idea...

    [OT] Bali terrorist attacks

    I some ways it is that aspect that you mention, Rashak Mani, that I find most terrible about this act. The people of Bali that I've met while on vacation wre polite, in the way only true Indonesians can be, and unlike the capital city I live in now, Bali radiated a feeling of intense optimism...

    [OT] Bali terrorist attacks

    My prayers for the dead, my good wishes and sympathy for the living, and my hope for the world. Guess that's it then. We now return to D&D and all things gaming.

    [OT] Bali terrorist attacks

    Re: Re: [OT] Bali terrorist attacks A point. But several other forms of violence have taken place recently as well, that could just as easily have sponsored this attack. Not only the Christian response to the mentioned attacks (which was admittedly much more disorganized, and had a much...

    [OT] Encounters with fate, consequence, destiny and general weird stuff.

    I'll always remember learning in grade seven home school that to end World War 2, America (this is a direct quote) "taught the Japanese how to live in peace." Fortunately, my parents were quick to jump on that statement, and I did not grow up believing that the word nuke was another word for...
