I know that she has been having issues dealing with the death of her husband last year. I have been there for her all through this. I understand she is emotional. But this was way over the top extreme behavior. At this point I am worried that she needs professional help, that she is in a major...

I am not sure you can copy write a gaming character. I have to wonder how that would work. She does not own th rights to DnD and I was the co creator of a special witch class so I would have to wonder about that. Are we saying that a DM can't write a story hour about their game without signed...

We have a lot of friends in common we have been involved in various fandoms for years. The non gamers are totally at a loss over this and I have gotten so many private messages and phone calls asking what the frak is going on. They can't understand this kind of behavior from a fifty + woman over...

The term is used in old school literary fandom and in Trek fandom when a person leaves fandom.

I know she has issues I am friends with her outside of the game. It is why I said yes against my better judgment when her Ex asked if she could join. I was worried about a big group and everyone having enough face time with me and enough role playing.But I had hoped it would cheer her up and get...

No I don't not after all this craziness. I am to old for this crap. I don't know what it is about our hobby that attracts, how do I put this, unstable people? I have cried over my character dying. I have gotten a little pissed at a DM who I thought treated my character unfairly. But at the end...

My group is a bunch of heavy duty role players and because of that they hate hand waving away thing like this. So I needed to deal with a reason the PCs had left and since they were all trapped in a keep that was under siege by a dragon and cultist I really had a hard time coming up with a...

In all my years of playing I have never seen behavior like this. Every group I have played with had the rule that if you leave the game the DM gets to decide how to deal with your character in a way that works for their game. I had to leave a game because of my job and next thing I know my...

My players can't stand that they want an explanation and they were all trapped in a keep besieged by a dragon. So I came up with a way to further the game and explain the disappearance. I will admit I think I dodged a bullet with this. I really don't like playing with players who act like this...

I am running a modified Hoard of the Dragon Queen game. I invited an old friend to join the game and he asked if his daughter and ex wife could join. I said yes even though I was a little worried about DMing for seven players. We played three sessions with the ex wife joining us for the third...

Everything you describes I have seen happen with a rogue. This was not a race issue but a player issue. Kenders are written up that they are helpful going off Tass he would have immediately pulled out the gem just like he would have pulled out the ring of protection if the player asked has...

I don't think this is totally true. I am not a killer DM and I don't run a high death campaign. PC survivability is pretty important to me yet I do the rule roll or average no re roll. Like I said if you choose to roll you are choosing to take the chance of rolling a 1. The reward of course is...

Players choice but if they are going to pick half they have to do it before they roll. I don't allow rerolls if you are willing to gamble then you take what you get.

I played a lot of Dragonlance back in the day and we had several kender PCs and except for one they were never disruptive at the table. They added a lot of good nature humor. The one that was a pain was a pain as player no matter what he played. I think for it to work the player playing the...

Yes sometimes it is easier and quicker if I already started the combat and I realize that I need to amp it up.

I see the problem. I have posted I have issues with writing because of my brain injury. I thought I was being clear with using may be to give monsters max hit points. Reading it now I can see the confusion. I am sorry. What I meant was that in certain situations giving max hit points maybe the...

I think you are missing my point which is two giants only means two attacks on two PCs if you add more then that is more monsters to be taking attacks on PCs. Sometimes the PCs are equipped to handle one monster with max hit points because they are damage dealing titans but they are not strong...

I very much disagree with this. It really depends on the party how many of the party there is and what their strengths are. Right now I am running Hoard of the Dragon Queen and I am finding with seven players with three of them power gamers if I don't up the hit points of some of the creatures...

I don't think you are going to get one good answer. I think that is because it depends on why you are doing something. If you have a table full of power gamers the only way to challenge them may be to give monsters maximum hit points. Maybe yes is the answer to should you raise hit points after...

The mistake I was talking about was not fudging but Mike Mearls admitting that when developing 4E they developed it aa a narrower playstlyle. I believe his quote went something along the lines of there were more than one way to play a guitar and they had focused on on playing it one way with 4E...
