    How do I turn Powergamers into Roleplayers?

    Ok, I'm at the end of my rope here... I'm running Monte's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil and I'm pretty much sick of my players. I made the mistake in the beginning of allowing them to roll stats and use the Class Books unrestricted. As one of my players says, Im a softy. Now I was...

    Min/max tricks of the players

    My wizard had a toad. He kept it in his robes most of the time and pet it constantly. He also has a small container of flies that he fed it. The funny thing is whenever my wizzie cast poly self, my toad would jump out of my robes, polymorph into a naked halfling and sit around eating flies...

    New Wave (The Company) Sucks

    Never ordered from them, but I have been by their shop. (Its located near Atlanta). That place is scary.

    [Slightly OT] Neverwinter Nights A Failure? [Rant]

    Keep in mind that if you are doing custom adventuring (with a DM controlling the scene) the DM has the option of simply not including those "overpowered items" . I never expected NWN to completely replace PnP gaming or even come close to emulating it, but it will make for a fun CRPG...

    The lovely stupidity of some players...

    Mine was in 2nd edition days. During a run of the Undermountain dungeon in FR, I had the same player do two stupid things. He was playing a drow fighter/mage. The first instance was the party encountered a large pillar of light, about 20' in diameter. In the center of the pillar, floated a...

    The Heretic of Wyre

    Nahael probably feels horrible, but she's really just a pawn of Orothon (sp?). Big mean good god using such a sweet demon as his catalyst :D (First time reader, spent all day yesterday reading. Incredible story. I love seeing how a high powered campaign is run)

    Found a solution to torturing PCs

    I'm trying to make them grimace, not projectile vomit :) Projectile vomiting is bad for the battle-mat :)

    Found a solution to torturing PCs

    Ever have a problem with PC's refusing to roleplay correctly when their characters are captured and being tortured? I've came up with an idea to solve this pesky problem. Buy a few bottles of baby food at the local supermarket. Whenever the bad guy's turn the rack, the player has to eat a...

    The Need for Mead... and other gaming accoutrements

    Great ideas! Think I'll pick up some cold cuts and cheese for tonight. Freaking starving now though :)

    Cthulhu .... any advice on how to run it?

    The Lurker at the Threshold, a combination effort with Lovecraft and Derleth (I honestly don't know who did the most writing on it) is a really good story. Mankind manages to "win" in that one too.

    [OT] Dreams of Gygax

    I'm wondering if Hellchick had a dream about GG wearing studded leather pants or if our Col_Pladoh actually did so :) Maybe he will come online and tell us curious readers :)

    Cthulhu .... any advice on how to run it?

    Play by candlelight and finish every description with "muwahahahaha!" Whenever the players make a decision to do something, temple your fingers and say creepily, "Excellent" Chuckle whenever they buy weapons. When describing sounds, especially loud bangs, slam your hand on the table quickly...

    Everquest Suicide and Lawsuit

    My guess is the huge amount she did get from the jury was to attempt to "punish" McDonalds for thier reckless conduct in regards to coffee temperature. Its obvious they knew that it was too hot, but refused to change it. A huge amount like that (and the even more damaging news stories that...

    What I hate about A Song of Ice and Fire (Spoilers Ahead)

    Re: SPOILERS I agree with this. Its looking like that he is shaping up Jon to control a lot of things. I wouldn't be too surprised that before its done that Dany and Jon become the new king and queen of the Seven Kingdoms :)

    What I hate about A Song of Ice and Fire (Spoilers Ahead)

    Stephen King, the master of storytelling and killing off characters :) My favorite author, hands down, when it comes to fiction. I'll be surprised if the Gunslinger makes it to the Dark Tower without riding in a wheelchair. That guy has been through more pain than I care to imagine. (Still...

    What I hate about A Song of Ice and Fire (Spoilers Ahead)

    To each thier own... I loved the moral ambiguity in Song of Ice and Fire. I thought the books were some of the best fantasy writing around. I do have a request Son of Thunder, could you put a Spoiler warning in your post? If I had read that before I finished the series, I would have been...
