My gaming group met on Saturday as usual. The only precautions we took were using hand sanitizer on the way in and preparing food instead of ordering out.

In 3.5, I once threw an army of 300 low-level skeletons, plus a necromancer, at a group of six 8th-9th level characters. The previous session was intrigue-heavy and I wanted to let the players blow off some steam by annihilating the horde of undead. They had a good time flexing their muscles a bit.

...Thanks for the thorough answer. I like your pricing.

...This. Heavy Metal and DnD are remotely linked by the fact that they were targeted by many of the same protest groups in the late 70's and early 80's.

...I'm looking for help pricing a minor magical item. Basically, it's a blank magical ring that becomes attuned to the first cantrip cast upon it. It then lets you cast that cantrip three times per day. Once attuned to a cantrip, it cannot be changed later.

..I have a RFLGS (relatively-friendly local gaming store) about 10 minutes away by car. ...It's prices rarely come down from full MSRP (maybe once a year). ...It's RPG selection covers the basics, but is limited to one small wall tucked away in a hidden corner. ...It has a very good selection...

...While I believe in letting the dice determine outcomes, if there is absolutely no chance at winning the fight before it even begins than I would find a way to spare their lives. ...Maybe they arrive at the final fight to find that the demon has already been unleashed. After eliminating...

...Much of the hate that I have seen for FR has very little to do with the actual setting. I have run into some very rabid fans of other settings, particularly Greyhawk, who feel slighted that their favorites were passed over as the new default.

"suppresses the effect for the duration of the protection from evil effect." ..Yeah, I'd vote number one as well.

..I'd second the vote for character pictures. For those who can't draw, they could try Heromachine. http://www.heromachine.com/heromachine-3-lab/

..I'd second the Bard vote. It doesn't appear that your party has a diplomatic type character.

..The only one that I haven't seen is Covenant. From the rest of them, I'd put the original on top.

...It's basically a shortened form of something like "I agree with this post". It has been used on these boards for quite a while and predates the XP award system. ..I find that it does help limit the amount of reading that you do to get caught up with a thread. Reading multiple long posts...

..Having seen all of the others, I think I'll wait and rent it.

...I liked Phil & Dixie, Nodwick and KotDT. I voted Knights, however, because I still buy their series.

...We usually play at the local game shop. Unless the card gamers are running a tournament. In such cases, a player bringing a guest usually just clears it with the DM via email ahead of time. ...If the DM, brings someone, usually they just send off an email. After the game, the group...

...I'd second the vote for using 10 minute real time increments. It's easier to manage and still maintains that urgency factor.

...Wow, those are good questions. Answering them here, however, might sideline the original question in this thread. Perhaps a new thread might better address them? ...Briefly said, IMO, a good DM is patient, has a decent grasp on the rules and knows that the game is collaborative endeavor.

...IME, it's not hard to find someone willing to GM. The difficult part is finding someone who is actually good at it.

..While I don't have a full PHB, I do have a handout for my campaign world. It's only about 4 pages.
