    GenCon & Camcorders

    Interesting. Sorry, I have nothing constructive to add to this thread. Just thought I'd point out that on my wife's birthday, which was 10 days ago, the cake said "Happy Birtday". That is all. Gruns

    How to speak Orcish.

    What do you do when the orcs your PCs encounter say something in Orcish, and none of the party speaks orcish? I found a great way to make stuff up on the fly... Since no one in my group are big sports fans (What?!? Say it ain't so!), I just shout odd sports figures names... This happened last...

    Any homemade D&D/fantasy movies?

    Hey all... It seems Google has failed me... I was wondering if anyone knew of a good site that had home made D&Desque movies. No, I don't mean people sitting around playing D&D. I mean homemade movies similar to Lord of the Rings. There are a ton of home made Star Wars movies out there, but I...

    Still no overall plot...

    So far... So far the PCs have done a few things that could have backstory potential. They killed a minor BBEG that was affiliated with a local Thieve's guild. Rival thieve's guild hooked the PCs up with the Blacklock Loreseekers(adventure guild from Complete Adventurer). Blacklock Loreseekers...

    Still no overall plot...

    So, my characters just reached level 5...and I still have no overall story arch in my campaign. Basically I've been getting them through the early levels with "Here are some of the latest rumors going around town. Want to investigate any of these further?". This has worked fine so far...

    A pseudo-scientific explanation of magic

    Hmmm... What about midichlorians? Gruns

    What is your most trivial house rule?

    Most trivial? Hmm... Most trivial (especially since we have no dwarves): Dwarf Clerics are proficient with Warhammers. Later! Gruns P.S.: How now, brown Drow? Sim-a-tar, Ky-mare-uh, Guy-gaks

    I killed my first PC tonight

    My 2 cents. Hello. Critical hits are pretty brutal at low levels, especially on the non-tank classes, which I notice the group has none of. Physical combat is definately not the group's strong point. Unfortunately, much of the game involves physical combat... Especially most pre-made modules...

    What D&D race are you?

    I dont' get it... Although I'm not so sure about this question, I feel compelled to answer it nonetheless. Dwarf I'm short, stocky, bearded, could outbench anyone on my floor in the Air Force dorm, and pretty much don't like people :) On the other hand, I am 100% anti-alchohol so it's not a...

    How do you scare your PCs?

    Nothing. PCs were waiting for/tracking down someone in an inn. There were four identical statues in the corners of the tavern part of the inn. The PC's checked them out. I had them roll. The mage rolled a natural 20. "You are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that these statues are...

    Getting Characters Together

    My most recent... I recently had all my PCs growing up in the same small village. One day something comes up thats going to be bad for the town. If only someone would step up to the plate and help... Gruns

    Ice Age Knights

    I tried this once... I ran a campaign once based on the Ice Age time and setting. All I heard were complaints from my non-Magic playing players because they weren't familiar with the card game. I tried to explain to them that they didn't need any knowledge of the card game whatsoever, but they...

    XP awards by levels

    Hmm... You guys actually use the XP awards tables in the books? I just make it up as I go... I'm sure I give out far less than what the RAW says I should give, but I prefer to set the pace of the levelling myself. (And not by changing the power level of the encounters...) About 2-3 sessions per...

    I'm so afraid

    Some cheap stuff. Just a couple of cheap suggestions: Potions of Remove Fear and Protection from [Evil, most likely] are just 50gp each. As long as you know what you're going up against, (and as a ranger, why wouldn't you know?!?) you can quaff these before the showdown... And there's always...

    D&D Online

    No matter. D&D Online uses the Eberron setting. It is therefore useless. Move along. Later. Gruns

    Anyone live in Charlotte, NC?

    I live in Charlotte... Hello. I live in Charlotte, and showed this thread to my wife. She suggested we go there, and bring the digital camera... So who knows. We may head out there tonight. If so, I'll be sure to link pictures of the Illithid plate... Later! Gruns

    What would your theme song be?

    EMF - Unbelieveable Way back when, I used to have this NBA video (yes, VCR video) that had a few minutes of the stars of the day: Magic, Bird, Jordan, Barkley, Isaiah Thomas, a few others. In the video, they played a song and a bunch of highlights from that player. (Bird="Small Town" by John...

    What to do when the DR says "You're gonna die most likely"

    For what it's worth... I'm a strong believer in the power of the human mind. You, being a nurse, have surely seen the effects of this. Now don't get me wrong: I'm not saying to completely forgo medical attention and what it has to offer. Just saying that once you give up hope, the downward...

    When the Charm Person ends...

    Thanks. I let the king and his entourage roll for the "See if he's under the influence" check, but they failed that. Most of the other kobolds weren't advanced enough to even have a chance at Sense Motive DC25, so no roll for them. PCs made a Diplomacy check with the King from Unfriendly to...
