I run a variant Book of the Righteous cosmology. This book is an awesome resource for religion in D20, but I digress :). The Great Church, in that Cosmology, worships all the good-aligned gods. Thus, any "godless" Cleric in my campaign would probably worship all the gods, and probably be...

Thanks, Todd. I appreciate your taking a moment to answer my thoughts. I'll be using the program for Tuesday's session; I hope it works out well. I've been poking around with this and found it very useful. I imported all the 3.5E stuff I could find and then tried to answer some rules...

It all comes down to the needs/desires of everyone involved. Are you the odd guy out, as everyone else around you has a blast and you don't? Or is the DM the only one having fun? We can talk about how your brother is a nitwit all we want, and it could very well be true, but if he's playing...

Hi all -- I'm finally taking the plunge and going to try DMing with a laptop at the table. I'm getting tired of balacing a 3-ring binder full of campaign notes, a published scenario, a photocopy of a map, a notebook, and whatever rules book I need ... all behind the DM screen. Yeesh! What I...

Cool quest from Geas I've had a character fall victim to a Geas once. My DM at the time was pretty good at tailoring the events of the campaign to fit the PCs' motivations and whatnot. My PC was a CG Cleric of Rudd (Greyhawk game). My PC's best friend, an NPC, had fallen in battle (saving...

Listen to Meepo. He knows of what he speaks.

Rackshack (or, EV1Servers) Just another point of contact. I'm part of a rather large online community for computer games and we get our hosting via RackShack, which I guess just changed their name to EV1Servers. www.rackshack.net or www.ev1servers.net A quick check on their price page seems...

Breakfast You may as well add me to the breakfast list, at least tentatively. I don't see any reason not to come an hour earlier to have a chance to socialize a bit and meet folks I might not be playing with.

We've switched to it Definitely look at that thread. You might also want to check out mortality.net's official forums, though the stuff in there is from people with the system already and might be "too much information" just for someone evaluating the product. As for the question of whether...

Just work it into the pregenerated backgrounds which characters are sickly. Then when we sneeze and cough all day, it seems like we're really getting into character.

How did I miss this ... again!? I live fairly close to Boston but have never met any of the Boston crew (unless you count reading story hours compulsively). I'd love to try and squeeze in wherever I can fit. Given the choice, I'd try to get a taste of some gritty fallout goodness or some...

Thanks for suggestions I appreciate your all taking the time to comment. We got together tonight and after serious consideration the player in question decided a Divination spell was going to be more useful than a Commune anyway. I took some combined advice and ended up deciding that: - You...

Hi all -- I DM in a game where the PCs are finally reaching level 10 and are able to Commune. Both my players and myself are concerned about the spell for a number of reasons. In the end, it comes down to a concern that using this spell will rob the players of the enjoyment of watching the...

Interesting replies Thanks for the replies. It could be an interesting twist to limit some of the knowledge of whatever gods (or agents of gods) are contacted. I'd have to think about that a bit. Hmm. Have to decide by Tuesday :).

I've been looking at Commune recently, now that my PCs can cast it. They haven't used it yet, because the players don't want to ruin the fun of watching the story unfold. On the other hand, I know it's an in-game resource that makes sense in the world (in fact, I have NPC organizations using...

IMC we use our own special "standard array". From our house rules doc: Slightly overpowered, sure. But we have fun. We adopted this system after one game where a player (uhm, my player) rolled so phenomenally above the others that it was a bother for the DM for the remainder of the game...

I'll second the comments on the Banewarrens forum. I would be having a much tougher time there without the ability to "borrow" all sorts of great tips from my fellow DMs (and thanks for the kind words about my own story hour there!). My players are an unusual group -- there are only two of...

Perhaps a reasonable balance is to force the character to decide on his eye status for the entire round, open or closed. A closed-eye character is blinded for the round, and may suffer considerable penalties (depending on who else the character is in combat with). Man, if I had known how...

I GM'd a one-on-one for some time. It was a challenging way to play but it had its rewards. I would not choose to do it again, but we had some fun anyway. My advice runs a bit counter to other folks here, actually. Don't worry about which character class, or combat being too lethal. You are...

I can only imagine how difficult it is to deal with something like this. My thoughts are with you, your gaming group, and your family.
