Um, yeah. There's someone on these boards (or maybe RPG.Net) who suggests carrying a can of lysol to all gaming conventions for use on one's surroundings (and fellow gamers if needed). . . . . . . . -- Eric

How about a scavenger hunt. You specify sets of impressions about unnamed products, and the first person to send you links to the correct set of reviews wins. . . . . . . . -- Eric

I'm sure the folks around here will have enough discipline to excercise the requested restraint... but just in case, I'm posting my idea anyway. If you do make it only a single thread, you might consider naming it "$tory Hour Updates" and requesting that only story hour authors post to it...

Mike: I love you, man! Even if you are making my co-workers wonder if I'm having a nervous breakdown. :) Must... regain... composure... . . . . . . . -- Eric

Would it be fun for the player to have her alignment changed as a result? Would it be fun for you? Would it break your suspension of disbelief in the world to have this character remain "good"? What advantages do you see to changing the alignment? . . . . . . . -- Eric

Am I missing something? CR25 dragon vs. Lvl 15 party? . . . . . . . -- Eric

Re: Would anyone like to organiz-ize some gaming? Sure, I'm up for it. I'm not signing up for any events ahead of time, so any pick-up games people want to play sound fun to me. :) Anyone have anything they'd like to try out? Nobilis? Godlike? Agone? Theatrix? Feng Shui? . . . . . . ...

I'm having mixed results with internet dating services myself, but I've finally found someone I think there's a good chance I'll get along well with. Good luck finding that someone for yourself. For the record, here's my thoughts on the various services I've tried: Matchdoctor.com -- Great...

He'd be wearing nothing but a sheathe. . . . . . . . -- Eric

Theatrix does. Ars Magica also describes "troupe-style" play, but IIRC it still uses the term GM. Of course, I shall be henceforth known as the Hollyhock God. ;) . . . . . . . -- Eric

Myself: Tactician Method Actor & Storyteller Tinkerer -- likes to try new combinations, new characters, new rules, etc. (descending order) . . . . . . . -- Eric

If you'e adamant against the idea, I can totally understand. However, if you're looking for some way to be flexible, how about this: Run a one-shot for the PC as a half-orc. Since he's half-orc, and speaks their language, the tribe has made him responsible for interrogating the humans. (This...

I don't think that's identical, I think it's opposite. When I read it, I assumed this was an intentional dichotomy. I thought it was intended to advocate that high charisma people still have to make an effort to get good reactions , while a low charisma person automatically gets poor...

Re: Re: I'm not dead yet... Rather cool character idea there, but I take it the WIS score is really low, or he'd have found his courage by now, yes? Eh? I'm no scholar, but I thought the tradition was to use the wakizashi blade, after removing the hilt and tsuba and wrapping the tang with...

One solution to this dilemma is to allow description to yield automatic success, but not automatic failure. In other words, if they say "I run my hand over the floor looking for irregularities." you could give them automatic success for a floor pressure plate, but still give them a roll for...

First, let me see if my assumption is correct: You want the PCs to meet the critter, flee, and be forced to come back later. Yes? So the problem with a puzzle is that it can be beaten. A trapped monster with no range can be whittled to death by missile file. Hmm,... what about putting...

I'll second (of fourth, or whatever) the notion that you should tell the DM that you're having difficulty. What I would add, 'though, is that you should bring something to the table! Far more helpful than "I'm bored!" is "I'm bored, can we do this instead?" Ask the DM if he could run an...

Zappo: There are a variety of reasons. Settings tend to be tighter / better written when driven by the central conflict, and in an RPG, there is a rather large market segment who want the PCs (aka heroes) to be central to the conflict. Similarly, novels work best with an archetypal character...

Just a guess: I strongly suspect that the best settings will be the ones with the strongest "who are the heroes" section, with the world written around the (archetypal) heroes. . . . . . . . -- Eric

Have the PCs stumble across a famous dungeon that is wholly inside an antimagic field. No-one has looted it, because the location of the dungeon and all the items inside are (of course) undetectable by divinations. Just to make the dungeon more interesting to the spellcasters, perhaps spells...
