    Starcraft RPG: Who would be interested?

    So ME..... Although i would like to see how they adapt the rules from Ghost rather than the strategy game itself

    Enemy-less adventures?

    Just as a side question... If you are running an enemy-less adventure...how would you determind XP ? I know traps have CRs but what about mystery solving adventures ? I would run something like this if i had a proper mechanism for XP and/or i know my players aren't up for somthing like this.

    Why are hit points generated randomly?

    I let my players roll their hit die 3 times and pick the best one. You can be surprised how many times a d4 doesn't turn up with a 4 even after 3 tries... :p

    And when things just couldn't get any better... :lol: Are we expecting any wizard to come riding around with an army behind his/her back ?

    Did your parents get you into gaming?

    First generation gamer here in the remote end of the RPG market and am proud of it. My brother brought me into gaming as well as into other hobbies (it started with M:tG and wargaming) but RPGs was my first love. It's been an interesting as well as frustrating experience as a P&P gamer since...

    Why Bodybuilding is bad

    Working out in the Gym gives the DM more stamina to run marathons :p

    Perennial campaign worlds vs. one-shot campaign worlds

    I find that the Forgotten Realms has allowed me to take middle path in this. There are so many regions in that setting with so many drastically different flavors from each other. Since my campaigns in FR are specified to one or only the surrounding regions, it is as though i could start a new...

    Why Adventure-Building is Bad

    Adventure comes first, plot second. And we all know that adventures are fraught with dangers (that's where encounters come in!)

    Too Many Monster Manuals?

    I agree but i wasn't tackling the choice of buying the books. I felt that there are indeed too many MMs out there, not including the amount of monsters that are also in the races, environment and other supplmentary rules like the Planar Handbook. I believe the list of monsters is much longer...

    Too Many Monster Manuals?

    As a DM, the MMs are useful when you want to spring a monster on the PCs without expecting them to have read it somewhere. Some of the monster ideas you can find there are just wild. It's good for lazy DMs like me or DMs that don't have to time to do the creative part of the hobby, which...

    Errata: Do You Care?

    I look for an errata when i think there some balance issues. Like look at the skirmish feature of the Scout base class... :D But other times, i find it a chore to hunt down every single errata there is for a each book and having to remember what is errated. In terms of group policy, erratas...

    The 14th level PCs have slain their thousands, the 18th level PCs their ten thousands

    Well, i didn't mean to take it very literally. What i was trying to say was if whether the scope of the campaign shows the relevance of expected high-level capability. As for how to handle high-level gaming, i would first admit that i have not much experience in that field since my players...

    The 14th level PCs have slain their thousands, the 18th level PCs their ten thousands

    It will most definately depend on what kind of campaign you would be running. I can easily see this if my PCs are in a war campaign where they can run through armies of low-leveled soldiers as they advance to higher levels But i can't really see this if i'm running a epic hero kind of campaign...

    Oh, i know. A spell component pouch is just an empty spell component pouch. You're going to have to find the components for yourself ! :p
