The problem for me has always been that once I know who is doing the voice, I can't hear anything but -that person- and it is no longer a character voice, but that actor's voice.

Is it just me, or does this sound like something you wish you could play in? lol

PCs have to "play" on a giant sized chessboard.

This is essentially what I was going to say, but it also has to do with personalities in the group. Look at Piratecat's storyhour. KC brought in Dylrath with -no- equipment, xp, well no -anything- as a 1st level thief when the rest of the party was significantly higher in level and it was...

My bad... Forge of Fury then, which is actually very fun if you want a pretty straightforward dungeon.

If by "chainmail" you mean a chain shirt then that is very normal for a first level fighter... most guys in our campaigns start with scale mail. As for the greatsword, that too is typical for a starter weapon. How did you allocate starting funds? Did you give them the average, let them roll, or...

I'm going to second a vote for Morrick Mansion if you want a site based adventure. Speaker in Dreams from WotC is for 3rd level characters, but in my opinion, it takes alot of work from the DM to make this one fly, not to mention the conversion to 3.5 that is also needed. You -could- start Tomb...

Maybe I need more than one. I would like to be able to access alot of the old TSR art, but just generic sword and sorcery stuff is good too. Also, if anyone knows of a website with alot of actor photos from motion picutres that would be helpful too.

My group does the same thing when we have time. We have even done three and four hour solo sessions per character. I have come to the decision lately however that it is possible to put too much emphasis on background and roleplaying. My group is one that roleplays alot and comes up with some...

It was 12 years between 2nd and 3rd wasn't it?

A little off topic, but does anyone use the City of Union described in the ELHB? I am just curious, because I teach in a small town called Union and everytime I even think about that name as an epic level city, I just about lose it.

Seconded.

I was about to say the same thing. Paranoia is the -perfect- game to run when its obvious the regular campaign is falling a little flat or people just aren't -up- to roleplaying well for the night. I love me some Paranoia.

I tend to give NPCs items they can USE... it is rare to find potions on a dead villain in my game. On the other hand, I give unintelligent monsters such as a hydra equipment belonging to adventuring parties that were too low level to kill it, otherwise why is the equipment there? I very rarely...

It doesn't have to be some official meeting somewhere. You said the guy is a friend of yours... talk to him like you would about anything else. Don't make this out to be more than it is.

It depend on how "freaked out" Dwarves are by that sort of thing in your campaign. I was one of the guys who always wondered exactly how Dwarves made all of those magical weapons without magic users. I would give him a decent strength and con if you can, maybe even a level or two of fighter if...

My groups have had a surprising amount of trouble with this. Upon much reflection, I think there are a couple of good suggestions I can come up with. 1. Crothian's method is gold if your players can handle it. Give them an idea of the general idea behind the campaign and let THEM do the work...

Exactly my point. Barbarian can be a very limiting class from a concept perspective if you don't open it up a bit. No one has really every played one before in my campaigns though, so it hasn't been a problem.

When PCs cry in fear. :D Seriously, one time I was co-running a Mask of the Red Death game and after one session the four players wanted to hang around and watch TV. It was really late and I was sort of confused (and a -little- annoyed because I had to work the next day and were in my house)...

(In my best Jan Brady voice) ORCUS ORCUS ORCUS!
