Anyone else happen to watch Jeopardy? They started a new "season" this week, and in a category titled "Game Name" one of the clues was (and I apologize for this being merely a paraphrase and not the exact wording): "Books such as 'Fiend Folio' and 'Monster Manual' are used to play this game."...

The main things I can think of that have worked well for some of our games in the distant past were all mood-setting things done outside the game. * Play the game at night, if at all possible. * Play in a room with lights on a dimmer switch, so you can slowly drop the room into dusky darkness...

Sounds like it could be fun :D I live in the Dayton area, so my first choice would be Dayton (assuming I'd be able to make the time to attend, that is ;)) but Columbus isn't that hateful of a drive, all things considered. As for time... November would probably work better for me, but like I...

It really varies based on how much "extra" time I have. Since this is asking about creating an adventure, I'll just stick to what I've done when I've had the time ;) I'll usually start with the vast, over-reaching plotline that I want to convey. To this end I'll generally create the game...

Another thing to keep in mind is the influence of Good Stuff, especially if the GM uses a method where it's relative to how many people have it. If everyone seems to be bidding high on stats (and it'd probably be good to keep a record of what everyone's bidding, so you can get a good idea of...

Thanks! I thought that might have been the reason behind it, but just wanted to make sure ;) Guess I'll have to deal with marking my place in the book until I get a chance to put together a quick reference for my own use :D

So I finally start a thread of my own ;) Anyway, we were running our first session using 3.5 (mostly) over the weekend and I had my printout of the 3.5 SRD with me. I flip to the B's in the monster section, so I have a quick reference to the Beholder that's part of the encounter (we're going...

IMO, there is no one "right" age. Just like there is no "text-book, normal" child as far as the developmental cycle goes. I started when I was 8, and now 23-odd years later, I'm still at it and the father of two children (2.5 years and 1 year). The 2.5 year old showed an intense interest in...

To me it just screams LN. With all the balances, neutral seems to fit, yet with everything fitting into a very orderly, structured 'whole' lawful springs to mind.... Just my opinion, and I'm curious to see what others have to say :D

Yeah, it's a temporary hijack of the thread, and I apologize if someone's already posted this somewhere else, but a co-worker sent this to me earlier today and I nearly fell out of my seat... it's at least relevant to the overall theme of the thread ;) ...Smeagal and Gollum: “New minis are...

I don't remember the exact percent, but I believe it was said that Bill could lose 95% of his net worth and it would have absolutely no impact on his lifestyle... how's that for scary? ;)

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) : Whinge \Whinge\, v. i. To whine. [Scot.] --Burns. ;)

I've mainly done the whole "background" music thing, though I have had one or two times where there was music only used at specific points in the game. Overall there are some movie soundtracks that are just perfect for playing as background music for the entire session (Conan, Hunt for Red...

For the most part wands are spell trigger-type items, which means that you have to have the ability to use the spell, based on your class. You don't have to actually know the spell, just be able to eventually use the spell (i.e. you could use that Wand of Fireballs as a 1st level Sorcerer). If...

Yacht To the Head (spell created by a player in an Amber game I ran years ago ;)) And from Munchkin d20 (and I apologize if I got the wrong wording, but you'll get the drift ;)) Bigby's Unwelcome Touch

There are some "classic" concepts that could be used as the basis for a meta-scenario, so to speak. You have the "accidental" acquisition of information about something that's of interest to everyone which leads to several groups all taking their own paths to try to get it (and possibly running...

Well, if you look at things in a different light, a high score in Charisma doesn't necessarily mean that everyone <u>loves</u> said character. It's just a measure of force of personality, and may have little to nothing to do with looks. I've always run with the concept that a Charisma stat has...

Sounds like fun. I've been itching to get back to GenCon (it's been 10 years since I last made it) and next year is looking to be the year I'll make it back :) Assuming it grows to the point where you need more than the two DMs already listed go ahead and throw my name into the hat of people...
