dude! my white d20's are pure player killers too! i break out the red ones if i'm feeling sorry for them but if they are at full health/spell capacity...BAM out come the white dice.

After many years passing from dming ad&d beginning in late 1970's or so, i decided to give 3.5 a try and get some players. first i read the core rule books as much as possible, then what i did was roll an entire party, actually about 8 types, and swapped them in and out as i ran them as a total...

hmmm, looks like i'm a character-killing s.o.b. heh, well i wanted to get away from fudging to keep people from dying, and i try to run smart (or mean) monsters as they should be played. i dunno, it used to seem like almost a personal attack on someone if you were a dm and a character died back...

LMAO Man, where is the realism? ;)

just wondering, what is your house rule?

Just wondering the mortality rate for an average adventuring group. There are 6 players in my gaming session, and if i remember correctly, now that they have reached 9th-12th-ish level, the mortality score is as follows: half orc barbarian has met his maker 3 times so far. the rogue got too sure...

hey that first paragraph is pretty much what i'm after here. they will still have their high level guys to deal with invasions and the occasional tomb or dungeon that is uncovered during axcavation or mining, but just for funsies, i still like making low level adventures, so to break the...

... I didn't get any the night before.

I like disentegrate. It's fun for npc wizards. even some decent damage if they make a save.

hehe good point. i don't want it be work though, i want it to be fun. i'm kinda thinking to myself... "well, how does a character earn his starting money and meet his/her mentor to teach him the skills necessary to become their future class?" maybe i'm a nut, but it just seems like it may be...

Now that I spend a good deal of time trying to come up with ways to make my player's lives miserable, i think i have a decent new idea, and wondered if anyone else has tried it. My high level players are gonna build a town (starting this weekend) and after dealing with this logistical nightmare...

Mine (DM). creating a chapter in the life of the party and watching it unfold... dreaming up some grisly way for them to die and watching them squirm... putting something in they have to talk over amongst themselves for 15 minutes so i can get a break every now and then... dm's rule, players...

one time me and my GF were at some friends house for the first time. old house, wood floors, the kitchen had one of those huge square things that held pots and pans etc. that hung over a sink and counter type affair in the middle of the kitchen. me and my GF were in college and had lived in a...

i can really kick ass at scrabble now.

lead a horse to water... if they stray from what i spent the last entire week working on, i make sure a lot of CR11+ random encounters start happening (the party being lvl 8 up). then the dungeon/plot hook becomes an inviting idea.

the lvl 9-11 party plus about 200 npc warriors against 400 kobolds, 125 orcs, 30 ogres, 5 ogre mages, immediately set upon thereafter by 100 human skellies, 2 cloud giant skellies, 1 red wyrm skellie. took over 8 hours i think. if i remember, the whole thing took about 20 rounds.

yeah the actual bushels per year thing is based on 7 acres. and this was on a spring/summer/fall crop rotation method along with meat/poultry production. thence the 60 bushels i have decided on so far (weight and amount also supplied by fish, meat, etc not just pure grain or vegetables) yes 60...

thanks that sample section i got was really interesting, but i have a minor problem buying any source material off the web... i live in (very) rural arkansas and am on dial up with about 2k download speed max. more like 1.5k average. so that sample i got which was about 5 megs off your site was...

i got this info off google, do a search for something like 'medieval farm production' the weight per bushel would be wet weight, or only partially dry. the bushel amount was backed up off of at least 3 different websites. plus i also took into account livestock production (poultry, eggs, pork...
