    Most Amusing Rule Misinterpretation?

    When the number of monsters in a room had to match the room number. I'll never forget the 64 medusas imprisoned in the 10x10 room within the Keep on the Borderlands. That was our first encounter ever. Ah, to be so young again....

    The Reluctant Heros of Dartham

    Session 2: Dwarven Folly Well to jumble up this thread a bit more here is the same tale from the other dwarven brother's perspective. Ejja, I can break this off in a separete thread if you prefer. Raskilnov laid down upon the wet ground looking up into the night sky. This trip had not gone...

    Help me get 1st level adventuring party together in the Scarred Lands for Tuesday!

    A rogue seeking redemption? A cleric of Hedrada tasks her with working with a local cleric of Madriel, the redeemer, as her penitence. As the Judge introduces the two in comes a page with news that a dwarf has come seeking help. If you have access to Creature Collection I try a morgaunt...

    What is the dumbest way you've seen a paladin lose his paladinhood?

    I was playing in a Living Web Campaign as a LN cleric of Kelemvor, the god of death. We were all playing 1st level newbies and fighting a tough battle. Things had not been going well, but it looked like the battle had turned in our favor. The last bad guy got a good hit in on me sending me to...

    Help My Campaign: Sloth

    How about turning the idea upside down a bit. Change the concept of inactivity to the same activity (e.g. caught in a rut). Every night they save the same small village from an evil being/horde (Diablo like goat-men?) as the town folk hide. The Celestial then spends all day preparing for the...

    steam punk steam mechs

    I like the concept. To keep things easy why not use the Savage Species template idea for your mechs. You could just plug in the racial bonus to create various mechs. There could be an ogre mech that has an ogre's reach, adds to strength, is a bit slow, etc. Or a displacer beast mech that was...

    Are you a killer DM?

    I'm in the 3-5 PC deaths a year range. A bit of that is that I do not DM that often. As a player I tend to loose characters at a good clip, but that is the risk I take as I love playing the weak underdog. As a matter of fact I've lost 3 charcters in the last two games I've played! Mr. Chance...

    Seeking DMs:Help to Become Scarred Lands Rat Bastard

    First of all, give a few of the Slitherin they are fighting class levels. First time my players went into a rat den it was of the Red Witches. With a 7-8 level party I had 20 1st level illusionists, 2 3rd lvl wizards, and 4 6th level rouges. The rouges would make ranged sniping attacks and...

    What's the most rat bastard thing you've ever done as a DM?

    My best Rat Bastard moment was actually a tag team effort. I had moved to a new city about a month before, but had returned to tie up some loose ends. The DM in the old city let me join in a game for one last hurrah. I played a Paladin. The party was traveling with a little girl who was key...

    Problem: character deaths are leading to enormous party wealth

    How about items with levels. I remember a Dragon magazine article where the suggestion was to have the magic item start out low powered, but go up in level with the PC. The items could have weak powers for the first level it is wielded and then slowly increase in power as the character goes up...

    Seeking ideas for Star Wars

    For some reason when I read this I heard the sound effect used so often in "The Empire Strikes Back" when the jump drives fail. It sounds like you have an excellent story set up and I do not think the party should get out that easy. After the jump engines fail, due to ripping out the wrong...

    Fumble House Rule

    One DM I played with had a simple set of rules. I never asked him to explain them in total so this is just what I picked up observing over time. If someone rolled a 1 they then made a Dex check. DC 5 for small and medium weapons, DC 10 for large weapons, assuming the user was medium sized...

    Game Snacks

    You forgot your Wendy's Mr. Chance. I cannot count the number of times I've seen you eat that. I don't even want to describe what it was you ate last weekend. My arteries started to clog just looking at it! I'm fond of fruit, monster burritos from a local resturant, and mongo-sandwiches from...

    what type of "fantasy" campaign do you play?

    Someone I know put this together http://www.bjhark.com/tallin/home.htm D&D with a Gamma World feel thanks to the background. Nice mythology.

    Need a little help here! [Scarred Lands]

    I agree they shouldn't be working together, but what about trying to out do each other? Nothing like throwing the pc in the middle of a battle between two dangerous foes!

    so, exactly how evil are we talking here? (kinda long)

    Unless your name is Vash the Stampede in most role playing game your character murder. It may be in self defense, in cold blood, or somewhere in between, but that is what happens. If the DM is going to rule that CdG is an evil act, that is their prerogative. I've played and run worlds where...

    What Does The Blackguard Do When...

    The Blackguard kicks back and has a cold one. Why? Well little did the Cleric realize it, but while casting the spell the Paladin, who had been broken by the Blackguard's Mindbender while in prison, had reversed all of the runes upon the gate which redirected the spell to open a gate from the...

    What do Bards sing in your world?

    Cat Stevens & Jim Corce, with a bit of Dr. Demento throwing in now and again to keep this lively (Well a Scottsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair....).
