I've spoken with him and with others in the group about where I was considering taking the game, and most agree that it's a good idea. It's just a matter of specific instances. He's generally been vocally pro-role-playing and yet actively pro-munchkinry as far back as I've known him. He's one...

Slightly off-topic, but I need advice This isn't going to help the original poster out much (sorry man), but I have an odd situation of my own, and this thread might be the place to seek advice. My problem comes from an odd dichotomy I've discovered with my friend. It seems like whenever...

We have the character come along, usually, but just not add a lot beyond their simple role in the group. For example, if the party barbarian's player is absent, then he'll be available for simple fighting, but he won't do a lot of complex maneuvers, and he won't offer advice or suggestions for...

Well, the crash site is near a mid-sized city, so there's no shortage of human slaves available, and I threw in a hobgoblin slave or two, just to mix things up. I'm designing the colony around a myrmarch platoon from the formian listing in the MM. 1 myrmarch, 14 or so warriors, 17 or so...

That's not a bad idea. I know I can have other MM creatures there as slaves of the formians. A new caste or two wouldn't hurt anyone (like a legionnaire caste between warriors and myrmarchs, for example, or a caste built up specifically to handle high-tech weapons or maintain high-tech...

Well, the whole idea of the colony is that some decades ago, a starship landed here carrying a group of escaping rebels against the Dragon Empire. They were carrying an artifact of great power. The rebels were found by a small cabal of wizards called the Society of the Horizons and were taken in...

I like the idea of ankhegs in the colony. That makes a lot of sense. As do dire ants. :) I also like the idea of an enclave of escaped slaves hiding out in the colony. If I did that, I could have a queen in the colony with less game-balance guilt (the party averages about level 10, but I give...

My PCs may soon be heading into a small colony of Formians, and as much as I dig the little antaurs, I want to give the players all something else to encounter than just waves and waves of ant-men. My question is, what else lives in a Formian colony? I know formians keep slaves, so there'll be...

Damn these "tough decision" PrCs! I want it all! I want my good BAB and my good saves and hit-die-type, but I also want the good stuff from my new PrC! :) I have a 10th level cleric, but I am thinking of taking Contemplative. That'd give me a third domain (almost has to be Celerity, since I'm...

So far my favorite thing has been ganking the lookout on the raider cave I had to clear out. When I approached him he had the same dialogue options as everyone else, and he didn't attack me on sight, so I figured he was a "good guy." Then I checked my journal, realized he was one of the raiders...

I have to disagree. The plot is there, the game just requires you to find it among the thousands of sub-plots that are going on at the same time. I've quite enjoyed the game, and right now the main plot goal seems the same as the other subplot goals (I won't say which quest it is), which is good...

It sounds like a set-up, but I had already planned to have the PCs run into Fharlanghn or an agent thereof. Fharlanghn (according to De&Demi) senses the beginning and end of every journey, so when he noticed one of his servants journeying millions of miles in space, I figured he'd take notice of...

So many abbreviations! What's an MoP? Master of Puppets? I'm the DM for a lot of the time, but my PC is considered a PC for advancement purposes (we've sorta introduced "DM Experience" to keep our PCs up to date with the rest of them when we DM), and obviously he needs to be cool for when I'm...

Well, my BAB, saves, and the like are straight 10th-level cleric. I don't have the sheet here at the moment, so the exact numbers escape me. I believe the BAB is +7/+2, and there's no chance in hell of my remembering the base saves. ;) His Knowledge (religion) is also very high; if not at 13...

My human cleric of Fharlanghn just turned level 10, and I'm starting to look around for decent prestige classes. I don't have Defenders of the Faith or the other splatbooks, but I could get them if I needed to. None of the Prestige Classes I've seen would work for a wiry, Dex-based cleric of...

Not a Bad Idea Thanks for the feedback! I might be into making it a story hour thing.... It'd be nice to do some writing that isn't for work. ;) --Tar

Be very, very careful From what I understand of the Harry Potter people, you will want to cover your tracks big time. Not only are you facing the Rowling camp and her lawyers and opinions, but you're also facing Warner Bros., who own the movie rights to the franchise. I have heard Rowling...

My Dragonstar game What I did was to take the party and their adventure-in-progress (typical clear-dungeon-return-loot mission), and interrupt it with strange occurrances. First off, the party's cleric (my PC, a cleric of Farlanghan) disappeared (obviously, I had to make him an N/PC). Then they...

Hey, Wait a Minute! I don't even know anyone named Warren!! --Tar

Wanna Wendigo? I dunno why, but one of the most frightening monsters I can think of is a sort of wendigo (based on the film Ravenous). Basically, say the ship started to go derelict, and the crew was running low on supplies (maybe they were raided, or their food spoiled, or whatever). Well...
