    Tobruk, 1941 - Help!

    Update: First campaign finished, Tobruk is Saved... though not really by the players any more than the common man. Did a lot of scouting work, rescued some prisoners, had Staff Sergeant Robert Cornwall sending them to Certain Death a number of times.. lots of sand, bad chlorinated tea, their...

    dwarves in armor

    To be completely honest, one can tumble in armor. I've done so, though it wasn't your full gothic harness. Remember that he still takes that -8...

    Your Favorite Villains

    . I don't know about villains, but.. We did a D20 Anime game once, and it was the funniest we ever had. First villain was M. Bison who was the nemesis (max points) of Ken. Ken was a Martial Artist. M. Bison was a Magical Girl. And he kept coming back! the cry of 'Keeeeennnn... I will...

    As a DM, are you ever worried players will get upset at you?

    Generally as a DM I never 'upset' my players apart from plot reasons. I always take polite mentions about the rules well, and try to keep it going in future. It is after all meant to be "fair". Repeated questionings on rulings annoy me, but I've never really got upset because I explain my...

    Different Races.. keep the Flavor or the +2?

    How did I like the conan rules? They rock, but when things heat up with armor, you begin to get long, slow battles. Measuring your strength + weapon penetration halves enemies armour, 20 points of damage lowers the armours AC bonus by 1.. It was a cool, vaguely realistic armor system. But slow...

    Different Races.. keep the Flavor or the +2?

    Heya! I'd just like to say I picked up Grim Tales. And I'm now switching from the Conan rules, which I enjoyed quite a lot. Grim tales all the way, baby! :D Only thing is, I'd like to keep the idea of racial bonuses. For instance, Zingarans get a +1d6 sneak attack, a lot of races get...

    DM's and their Paladins

    Galahad? He's a arrogant pig stuck so far up his own virtue he can't see the light of day. No, the proper paladin is hard to come by. Perhaps Castiglione defines him, but thats perhaps. The oldest, bald samurai from Seven Samurai defines a paladin quite well, as does the youngest in his way...

    DM's and their Paladins

    Whenever someone runs a paladin, I talk to him about what sort of code he's going to follow. If he ruins his own code, I penalise him. Much easier that way - because paladins really can be played in many different ways. I understand that my view of LG and a players is completely different. So...

    Ever benched a GM?

    Well, we sort of benched a DM. As per some previous posts, we had a FR campaign going quite well, with us straining for lordship over a fairly attractive land. All going well, we raid and capture a half-destroyed castle, and all of our characters spend pretty much everything we have to get it...

    Paladin Behavior?

    As to the last statement, Do I ever know :D I'd say it comes down to a potential problem in the paladins code. He's not allowed to associate with evil, even if the end is a morally good one? It means paladins are completely ineffective against anything other than mooks. It is impossible to...

    what is the primary climate/environment of your homebrew?

    Currently, my campaign was set in a cold, mountainous environment; think Tibet, Nepal, whichever you wish. However, to the south are plains (think india) and it changes around, as does the real world. Something just right about barbarians standing at the top of mountains, surverying vast tracts...

    Paladin Behavior?

    I must disagree with the people arguing against his use of the sword. Now, yonder sword is intelligent, and tempting. But he resists the temptation to do evil - and only does 'good' with it. He attempts to destroy it at first, but realises he cannot. He also realises that the sword may tempt...
