    Reality's Teeth

    Well, for Lawful, it could allow the wielder to have True Seeing, or it could project a Zone of Truth, or it could force the wielder to always tell the truth (even when it would put the wielder in danger). Perhaps, when facing Chaotic foes, the sword will not let the wielder quit the battle...

    Overarching Plots Vs. Self-Contained Plots

    While I've only ever DMed self-contained plots (mostly because I only did published adventures, so they weren't remotely connected), I have played in both types of games. The games with overarching plots still contained enough different types of adventures that there were fresh new adventures...

    Dungeoncraft Compilation

    I read several of them, and thought they were quite good, though some not that helpful to my personal situation. I like Wolfgang's style more, but I can't judge his usefulness yet (I've only read two). Oh, I voted yes.

    "Backup" Plans when DMs Flake

    The poll needs to be multiple choice. Some nights we run an alternate campaign, using a module won at GenCon, other nights we play card/board games. It depends on how many other players decide to show (usually dependent on when we learn of DM flakage) and who they are (for example, if the DM...

    Oscars: Help find a movie

    During one of the film montages that they showed on the Oscars (I don't remember which montage), they showed a clip of two men and a cockroach. The men looked to be wearing old Soviet army uniforms (the clip was in B&W). One man say something like "See that cockroach there? Tomorrow morning...

    What is your definition of Railroading?

    What if the DM moves encounters around, so that instead of happening on the road to city A, they happen on the road to city B? Or instead of fighting monster X in the abandoned temple, it's fought in dungeon Y? In other words, what if no matter where the PCs go or what they do, the DMs plot...

    Funniest DM/player faux pas

    A few months ago, our party met a town guardsman named Cpl. Mace. He is a recurring character, so we see him often. Once, when we were leaving a building on the main square, the DM said: "Cpl. Mace is marching with his privates in the open."

    Homebrew culture problem

    Personally, I do like dwarves, but one of my players doesn't, and they were featured heavily in a previous campaign (different DM, now a player). We don't like elves largely because of Legolas in the movies (dumb reason, i know, but there's no accounting for taste). The whole purpose writing...

    Homebrew culture problem

    Okay, so I'm creating a homebrew world with no elves (because neither I nor several of my players like them) and no dwarves (same reason). I was writing up some descriptions of the human nations/kingdoms/cultures, using knowledge picked up in college and other places. Here is a brief...
