Here's the situation: My PCs were being chased by a minor BBEG, which lead them into a kobold cave. Inside, they stumbled through a few traps, and turned a corner to find two "ready-for-anything" kobolds. PCs killed them fairly quickly, as you might expect. However, by the time that fight was...

More along this line... Yeah. This is more what I was looking for. Something to show the genealogical inferiority of the lizardmen. Anything along the lines of "faithless" or "wannabes"... Unfortunately "Mudbloods" is the best I can come up with so far... Later! Gruns

Top 5 5. Was robbed at gunpoint. 4. Shook hands with legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, Mork style, while saying "nanu nanu". And I wasn't drunk. 3. Appeared in a Morey Boogey Board commercial. I even had a line of dialogue. I was paid $5 and got a free Boogie Board. 2...

1st level for me. But... I like starting at 1st level, but running a quick, low combat, roleplay-heavy adventure that leads to level 2. And then another mostly roleplay adventure that grants exactly lvl 3. At this point the PCs should be able to survive that lucky whack with an orcish axe and...

Bored at work on a Sunday afternoon... My PCs have come across a kobold lair on a mostly deserted island. Through fancy roleplaying, nice dice rolling, and a key Charm Person, they have semi-befriended the kobolds. There is a rival tribe of lizardfolk a few clicks away. Territorial wars and...

Hmm. In my current campaign, I removed all Item Creation feats except Scribe Scroll and Brew Potion. Through roleplaying, and meeting the proper people, they could earn the other Item Creation feats. Not likely to happen, though, due to lack of desire on the PCs part. I also run a fairly low...

My method. I give the PCs max hit points for the first 3 levels. After that, when they level they roll and I roll. Take the higher roll. I often find that the times the PC rolls a 1 or 2, I do too, so it isn't an overpowered system at all. Later! Gruns

No no no. Looks like I'm in the surprising minority here. If I'm DMing, I simply don't allow idiotic names like "Shooter McBlastypants the Evoker" or "Ikill Youall the Barbarian". I also notice I tend to favor more "roleplayey" games instead of hack-and-slash. These names simply ruin the modd...

Hmm... Magic Missle -- It's automatic damage, it scales up with level, it's area effect! Just kidding... My real pick: Daze -- So great for those single, big, dumb BBEGs like ogres. I waste my turn, and a level 0 turn to cause you to basically lose your turn and let everyone get past reach...

Bah. Why so much amazing loot at level 3??? And this is why I never liked the Deck of Many Things. At level 3, what do you have to lose, really? Draw Death? Meh. Just roll up another level 1. I guess I'm just one of the grumpy old DM types that believes PCs should be ecstatic to see even a +1...

Dinosaurs Heh. I was actually browsing the MM in the dinosaur section last night. Problem is, the PCs can't really handle _a_ dinosaur, let alone many dinosaurs... The only thing they stand a chance against would be the velociraptors. (or whatever they call them in there.) On the other hand...

More please! Thanks for the input so far, but I'm still looking! I don't think I was clear: there aren't necessarily natives on the island. The smoke could be from anything. Volcano and bonfire are the 2 obvious choices I'm trying to get away from. Then again, I don't want anything too far out...

Umm... Did he really say he "might use it again at some point in the future."...?!? Umm... Speechless... ... ... ... Still speechless... Later! Gruns

One more... The only thing I dont see mentioned that could be are classic video games... d20 Zelda d20 Metroid d20 Super Mario Brothers d20 Tecmo Bowl d20 Contra d20 Pong... Okay maybe not... Later! Gruns

Underrated. I personally feel that bards are pretty underrated. Even in an average size group, that +1/+1 adds up. As for the "Jack-of-all-trades, master of none" label, well, it isn't quite accurate. Bards are clearly the masters of winning friends and influencing others. And finding out...

Well, it's Wednesday evening, and I have to work all day tomorrow and Friday. Next game session is Friday night. I intentionally left off last session as an open-ended cliff hanger, but am experiencing a bit of writer's block, and can't come up with anything that isn't overly cliche. I just need...

Never leave home without... A sack of marbles. Later! Gruns

New poll. "Do you 1) walk to school? -Or- 2) Carry a lunch?" Later! Gruns P.S.- I would not pick.

You forgot something... I have to echo the comments about the beginning of the story. Just didn't seem to flow like the scroll creation paragraphs... ...and if it's an Identify scroll, don't forget the quest to find a pearl... an exquisite pearl of great value... Later! Gruns
