Maybe, if it was a sneak attack it slit its throat? Thanks for the link mark.

As stated in my title I am a noobie DM. I don't like to say "He hits for 5 damage", a little flavor always gets my characters attention. Sadly, I'm saying the same thing over and over, and having problems describing the players and the 'monsters' attacks. I usually say "Your greatax decapitates...

All my players are fairly new so this explains why he said it I guess. Me "You all stand infront of the Tavern The Starving Stirge" Krusk"I check for traps" *rolls 19* Me"You only find a simple door, kind of worn out" Krusk"I roll again" *rolls till he gets a 20* Me "You find a door"

I third the DMing for dummies book, I love it. I would make sure the other players know that you are new and you will make mistakes. Edit: I have a topic similar to your's, you are sure to find some great advice in it! http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=164323

I dont think I can express how much you guys (yes all of you :O) have helped me, and I can't thank you enough. All the players keep coming up to me asking what time this week it is, and asking random questions (which I oddly had the anwser for all of them). I've decided on the jellybean idea...

A quick question: say one player is keeping whatch while the others are sleeping, and there is a random encounter, how long does it take for the other characters to get up? I made them wait around 1-2 turns till they could move. Edit: I didnt relize this, but one of my players (rogue) has like...

First session wasnt that bad. Everyone arrived late (mixup on the time) and we finally got underway, teaching the game to 3 noobs and character creation took forever (with only one phb). We first started with the pregens, I had them fight some zombies in an arena...then I decided after they...

This is sort of offtopic. Is there a place I can buy the FR campain setting 3.0/.5 pdf?

This story makes baby jesus cry :'( I am thinking about letting one of my players who loves to draw, draw up some sketches for me and get a little exp orsomething as a reward.

I really enjoy playing online games in the psionics.net IRC server. Online gaming is really great for people (like me) that are new to the hobby and can't find a group.

How many people play D&D? I would say around 1million+...and one person killed someone, who coincedently plays the game...nuff said. Thats like saying that a serial killer eats sandwiches, then we shouldnt! Edit: My friend actually wanted me to convince his mother that D&D wasnt evil one time...

The sad truth is that some people you cannot convince that D&D and gaming isnt evil. Maybe this isn't the case with your parents, but it is with alot of people. ITs like trying to convince Jack Thompson that video games arent training you to go kill people. The thing I did with my mom is I sat...

It is basicly Adult Make-Belive.

What conversions do I have to make if the module is 3ed? Edit: Both Wizard's Amulet (Necormancer Games) and The sunless citadel are 3.0. EditEdit: WA comes wtih pregen characters, I think I am going to use (tell me if this is a bad idea) Since mostly all of my players will be new to the game...

I only have 3 players, I is near impossible to schedule around their work schedules....when I do someone had plans with his girlfriend. Should I start without him?

Worst session ever. One person had to go to the city so couldnt make it. Another one didn't wake up till 1hour past when he was supposed to be at my house. We ended up just whatching Grandma's boy. Hopefully monday will be more fruitful

Or maybe have both?

I think I love you guys :P Im kind of confused on the battlemap thing, do i only use it for battles only, or exploring/battles/etc. I love the jellybean idea. I haven't decided whether to use the Necormancer Game's Wizard Amulet, or Sunless Citadel...I think i might go with the latter, since...

For my first D&D session this saturday, we are either playing on the Floor, or a crappy glass table on my front porch(moving it inside)
