    Dawn of the Dead Help

    I'm looking to run a one shot D20 Modern adventure based on the Dawn of the Dead movie. Does anyone know of any modules or information for this? I haven't been able to find any resources yet as my google-fu is weak. Thanks in advance.

    Dice superstitions

    I tend to leave my dice with the highest number face up. I also like to have complete sets, and will retire a set if I happen to lose a die. But, I'm also the "curse-breaker". We had a guy who would roll just fine with his old dice. But, if he rolled someone else's, that person's dice would...

    Tell me about your Big Dungeon

    Back in the early 2ed days, I was getting tired of campaigns getting derailed as the players kept fighting each other. No matter how often I tried to get them to create characters that would logically adventure together, I'd either get drow assassin mixed with High elf cleric mixed with Duergar...

    Are You a Good Tactician?

    I've got game. When I DM, I take the time to plan out the more important battles and work some foils against the more common plans of the players. They use the same tactics over and over, so it's quite easy for the BBEG or his important henchmen to plan around those tactics. If the opponent has...

    What is your favorite D&D monster?

    Ever since a 2ed. Ogre Mage almost destroyed the party, single handedly, I've felt a particular fondness for them. Cone of Cold. Invisibility. Flight. Regeneration. The party was mightily pissed when 2 characters dropped from the initial CoC (party average was about 8th level!). They managed to...

    Do you warn your PCs before they do something stupid?

    I usually just give them a raised eyebrow when they announce that they are doing something stupid. If they don't catch that, then the game proceeds apace. Sometimes, they luck out and come out smelling like roses, and they think it's all because they did something smart. Most times, though...

    What to do when the PC Rogue picks the pockets of the other PCs

    I roll their spot rolls for them. Eventually someone is going to notice that they are missing items, and they haven't been in a city for some time, and they did have it when they left the last city..... Then I sit back and watch the other PCs kill the thief. :]

    BBEGs with really bad sounding nicknames from the PCs...

    My group always comes up with deregatory names for the BBEG. Just their way of "reducing" his evilness to something more manageable. Until the last campaign when they met Kor. He very quickly became known as "That dirty son of a b*tch!" It never bothered me that they belittled the previous...

    The D&D Darwin Awards.

    Back in the 2nd Ed. days, I was running a conversion of H1 Bloodstone. I had warned the characters ahead of time that I was going to run it as it was written, IE very tough. They all "pooh-pooh'ed" that and off we went. The mage, for some reason, suspected the local Cleric of being up to no...

    What is the cleverest thing you've done to get out of a bad situation?

    1st Ed, playing an Illrigger (LE Anti-Paladin) from a Best of Dragon article. The entire group is made up of various races, alignments and classes. I only remember the LG Paladin, as we were always fighting, even though we had both been compelled to complete the quest together. Approaching the...

    Betrayal!!

    I pulled a really nasty betrayal on some friends and strangers duing a convention, once. The module was basically an escape from a Drow city during a House War. 3 of the characters at the table were slaves, 2 dwarves and a gnome. The other three were the House Matron, the House Wizard and the...
