    Look upon my works, ye mighty... (my players stay out, please)

    a zoo a la The Cage from Star Trek. the emperor can look in on all his wonderful beasts. a new set of clothes. he has allergies to every known material or at least thinks he does. thus is nekkid. he is always attempting to buy new clothes. no one outside his circle of close confidantes knows...

    GenCon could take a lesson here!

    sad to say no beer at Gary Con this year it seems. :.-( diet coke and pretzels gaming just ain't the same thing.

    Do castles make sense in a world of dragons & spells?

    to me it is all about rarity of use. castles work to keep the mundane common things out. if everyone has a fireball or passwall spell then no need for a waste of money and resources on a castle. if every attacker is a flying dragon. again don't bother. but dragons and casters shouldn't be...

    Booting up a new group

    no paralysis for me. i am there to game and willing to put forth all the effort necessary to have a good time. i treat the players like adults. i am sure Umbran will too. play styles mesh or they collide. some players stay. some leave. it is the normal order of things. no biggie. you learn...

    Serenity: Why am I GMing this?

    i judged Serenity for the 2006 ENnies. i have nothing good to say about it. take that for what you will. other than to say for at least this system i agree with you on the part i snipped from your first post. good luck making a game out of that mess.

    What do you do with the bodies of your fallen enemies?

    since i mostly referee. i give the impression to the party that the dead will rise again. so they tend to burn the bodies. which of course also attracts more predators to the bbq. meat is meat.

    Help me make WotC adventures better.

    this should go without saying. but maybe it is an art that has been lost over the last 30+ years. the adventure in the hands of the DM is for the DM to read and adjust for his group and campaign. adventures aren't meant to be purchased and read by every tom, dick and harry. it kills the...

    Help me make WotC adventures better.

    print them for OD&D(1974) :D yes, i am serious. some of the problems i have encountered ;) with adventures developed and released by WotC. 1) too long. too much. too railroady to get the job completed. return to the temple of elemental monotony. not every adventure needs to be an Adventure...

    What's really at stake in the Edition Wars
