I'm actually not playing in any official games this year. My entire schedule is filled up with EN World pickup games. That said, your chances of getting players to join a game depends entirely on what you run, when you run it, and how well-known you are on the board (people are lined up around...

Why doesn't Morrus just post his phone number here, and we can call him at night if we have any questions? Nareau [Edit--Nevermind, that's a terrible idea. Calling the UK every night would get pretty expensive.]

Hang on--I thought that was the entire appeal of reality TV in the first place! :) Nareau

I've dropped you from my game, as it appears you won't be making it to Gen Con. Nareau

I would turn this into a scenario where the PCs exceptional abilities give them the upper hand. When bad guys are going to assassinate good guys, there are a million things that can go wrong (no matter how smart they are). Here are some clues you can drop to give the PCs the upper hand: -...

Some more questions: Describe a gaming product that doesn't exist yet, but that you would love to see someone make. What kinds of games do you see yourself playing in 5 years? 10 years? If you could have any fictional universe turned into a game (or campaign setting), what would it be? Why...

You really need to stop letting your 3-year-old drive so much! Nareau

Well, since you've brought it up in a public space--I don't consider your issue to be a problem at all. I don't think the rules for the ENnies need to be codified any more than they already are. I've enjoyed the awards process each year I've been aware of it, and I've been consistently turned...

Man, I wish you had posted this a couple weeks ago. I was planning to drive from western NC, and that would've taken me through Louisville. But since I didn't have anyone to travel with, I decided to fly instead. Maybe next year... Nareau

I should also mention that a good deal of my DM burnout stems from feeling like it's an overwhelming task to come up with each session. I've started making a list of all the major goals the PCs have, and updating it in my notes each week. It's really helped me figure out what I need to prepare...

I've been going through this recently with my campaign (18th level, running about 4 years). I really, really want to get through to the end of the story (which should bring everyone up to 20th level). I've occasionally been running one-shot Dread games for my group, and it's a helped me...

Doing a little thread necromancy here (ha ha)... Does Death Ward protect against a Lich's Paralyzing Touch? Nareau

I dunno if it's gamers, per se. I'll be Captain Obvious here for a moment, and point out that people are generally much more rude on the Net than they'd ever be in person. You could probably find evidence to support that young males tend to be more vocal in their displeasure of things than the...

I'll be happy to help out as well. I'm an IT guy, and I've got some experience with audio systems. But I can also carry chairs/direct people. :) Nareau

I've had a group of evil NPCs kicking around in the background of my campaign for a little while, and it's coming time to have the PCs encounter them. I need some help coming up with good ideas for them. They're part of a druidic organization called "The Western Gale," who believe that the...

I would let the spell continue to work for the remainder of its duration. This would be somewhat difficult to abuse, and I suspect it would come up so rarely that any "abuse" of it would be interesting enough to them get away with. I don't think I'd ever rule that the post-mortem damage...

I'm going to go ahead and post the SRD description of the spell, for clarity's sake: Interesting. So if the target moves around a corner from the caster, the spell immediately ends? That seems like a pretty major change to the spell. I think this is a pretty good argument that the spell...

That's a MUCH more interesting question than the one I asked. :) Does the spell cease to function if the Ghaele dies, gets turned to stone, or put into an Antimagic field? Is there any rule that specifies an Antimagic field blocks "mystic connections"? I see no RAW reason it should, so long...

Except Shield Other hasn't been cast on the Ghaele. It's cast by the Ghaele. For example, a targeted Dispel Magic on the Ghaele has no chance of touching the Shield Other spell. Cats normally have 2 hp. My example is designed to take into account that the cat is dead at 12hp. That said, I...

Sure you can. They're probably not going to hit anything, though. :) Besides, didn't Montolio do this regularly? Nareau
