    Question about DM'ing

    Afternoon! Certainly the right kind of place ;) OK, so you have 2 rangers and a bard as PCs, and there's a Cleric NPC who is following around an NPC patron. I'll call them Ranger1 and Ranger2, with Ranger1 being the one who's wandered off immediately and Ranger2 being the new guy. I'm...

    What do you find most useful to your gaming?

    "it could be a stand alone book on say....life in 15th century Transylvania" Yes; this is what I went for. Not transylvania, but anything which sparks of some inspiration for me. Once I have that I can make the plot around it, and the crunch to back it up, so I don't need those kinds of books...

    Slaine RPG from Mongoose Publishing

    all god points erekose, as i said, i'm really in the process of ripping bits off here and there, so i've simply decided that IMC there will be "supernatural feats" - a PC gets one bonus feat at creation with which to either take a supernatural feat or a bonus normal one. (supernatural feats...

    Slaine RPG from Mongoose Publishing

    Currency. Forgot that. Its another thing that might not sit well with all... (I'm not using the Cumal, certainly...) In ascending order; chicken, pig, iron bar, Cumal. Cumal being a female slave - like I said, not to all tastes... Can't remember if there's a conversion to GP/SP/CP or not...

    Death: Guardian of the Gate

    ... I was generally impressed with this PDF when I got it, though a little dissapointed that it was so closely focussed on one deity when the general "advertising" had pushed it as a book on the death domain (which it isn't, really). For me, its also a bit of a let down that its so heavily...

    Help With A PC's Past

    ... Did you really mean a tribe of half-orcs? How would you get a whole tribe of half-breeds? (unless they breed true?) btw. Her love was her twin sister, the enemy therefore the (insert malicious soothsayer class) who sacrificed the twin for a divination. (if the enemy was from the tribe...

    SRD spells are pre-errata versions

    ... "I'm not sure if I like the loss of the internal references. It made it much easier to grok the spells when it says this spell is like another except." But how much better is it for re-use under the OGL? Each spell becomes a standalone entity, and can be cut and pasted into the relevant...

    New DM needs help.

    ... I ought to clarify something I think. Everyone knows about Rule 0, right? "The Dm's word is final". But how many people realise that this is the players' Rule 0? Or that there's a DM's Rule 0 - and its different? The DM's Rule 0 is that if it causes the gamers at the session to have fun...

    New DM needs help.

    ... For my money, one of the most basic errors you can make as a DM is to put the players into the quandry of "do I train? or do I finish the quest?". This is always an unpleasant choice for the group, and its always the DMs fault that they're in that position. (its a failing of a DM in that...

    What are we doing wrong

    comedy :) gurgi; "Grammar is a problem we are correcting it," irony, thy name is Gurgi :D Having just looked through the second issue (not having much interest in ezines and hence not having looked before), it doesn't seem as bad as I'd have guessed from some of the comments here. (yes...

    Weakening the magic system

    erm... Nice rules, I've instituted something "similar" for my next campaign, except I've kept magic powerful, just harder (more dangerous) to do. I was wondering, however, if anyone knows where the mentioned grim-n-gritty rules have vanished to? none of the links above seem to work :) cheers

    News Reporting Poll, Take 2

    Re: Re: Re: Re: What's the point? Aye; the site is _just starting_ to turn into "My best mate has just released XYZ, please buy it...from me." There used to be a veneer of objectivity, but its wearing off, sadly. I mean to say that the feel of the site has changed from a news site towards...
