My point is that we assume that because the power of healing is at hand, right across the street, that this means it would be affordable. In all of our games, folks die all the time from battles fought in bars. The friends of these combatants don't really always whip out potions of cure light...

I've played in campaigns where the GMs had an element of sexuality to the game and in almost every case, it became a distraction AND a bit or a personal soap box fpr that DMs "issues". In other games, I have played gay characters and IMO done a good job. Part of my inspiration for how to play...

This may have been addressed already but I think that from an econ perspective nothing changes. Remove Disease is a 3rd level spell and if you follow 100 GP per spell level, then you're gonna need to convince a cleric powerful enough to cast Dispel Magic, Searing Light or Speak with Dead, to...

Currently I'm 38 and for a while over the last 4 years I ran two groups. My Saturday group is all adults including some posters here (Eris404 and Kid Charlemange) but one day my downstairs neighbor knocked on my door. The neighbor has 3 boys and one had a birthday coming up. The parents asked if...

Hey Kid, If the feel of the area is Arabian/Middle Eastern, you may to also consider folding in a similar sort of history for the players. Murkral may be inhabited by ethnic groups Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamme and Theta. Depending on where the party happens to be, all of these groups are present...

Look, we paid for these dice or liberated them from people we no longer game with. They are ours. They have no rights. There is no dice union. This is not a Dice-ocracy. The dice do not rule. They can be rewarded if you so choose. A soak in coconut and basil water with a few rose petals...

You know if a guy needs a 1000th level fighter to get through his day, that should be fine but really, there are times when one should just put the dice down and walk the f@ck away. That's all I'm sayin.

It certainly sounds like a very evil ring to me. I would even go so far as to say that right off the bat it confers some mundane powers that any character would want and could benefit from but wouldn't raise any eyebrows: + to Diplomacy + to Sense Motice + to Charisma What you need is a way...

I don't really have a game idea but it's never to early to play "Hide the Toys in the Toybox" or "Guard the Shopping Cart" or Who Can Just Be Quiet". Then after all of those games, they could be rewarded with a game of "How Dirty Can We Get" and Who Can make Mommy the Maddest". Those are...

Rolling 1's sucks so I give MAX at 1st level, and roll all the others, re rolling ones. A few times along the way I will award MAX HP. Usually every fifth level. Dread October

I like D&D but from the stand point of game design, there are better games out there. Thkose companies go unheards of because they aren't WoTC. You can't find them in your game store because you can't find them in your game store. 3.5 is the best version of this particular game I've ever...

Primarily I use minis but if I'm running a game and the poarty has to face large numbers of opponents, then I use lots of d6 of various colors. Color and number showing designate different things. It's easier to say "I cast hold person of green thug #3." than "I cast hold person on that guy...

I'm in total agreement. I think they only get used if you feel like you can and should do the extra book keeping it would require. I've dropped them from all of games. Dread October

Well Eris, I have reason to believe I am not involved in this upcoming campaign soooo, I'll toss out all sort of monster favorites for those who will be. 1. Any monsters with Cleric levels. Ain't nothing worse than gettin stomped by a critter that heals itself and casts Flamestrike. 2. Kou...

Well said. In all honesty I'm likely to think back on my less than stellar momemts and blame that crappy playin on someone else. Yeah. I'm all good. Dread October

Well without going too much into why I think D&D should leave some of it's fantasy roots where they belong. i.e. In the Dirt, I will just say that I do not get it's obsession with short races. I will never understand gnomes. There are a race without a purpose as far as I'm concerned. Lets see...

I consider myself a fine roleplayer but I am not really a details person. I remember what my characters would remember and tend to play them consistant with the vision I had for them when I started out. I don't tend to play certain types of characters simply becuase my friends all have a them...

I've done it a few different ways. If a player write a manor house into his background, then I try and fins a layout for it and use it as often as possible. Most times the player are on the "World Tour" so it never really comes up. Some time ago in an FR game, the players were based in...

When the hell is talk like a pirate day????? My wedding rehearsal fell on Halloween and I dressed like Doctor Midnite from the JSA comics. My wife dressed like a computer programmer who was afraid she was marrying a super hero. Dread October

I don't do it mostly because it's just too much trouble. That and it crosses a line for me that I'd rather leave un crossed. It's cool if other folks do it...well I guess depending on who they are and whether they want to hide in my garage after the game is over. That ain't right. I have a kid...
