Gamefest Indy Since we're on the topic of Gamefest, does anyone know about the Gamefest Indy that will be run in November? I was wondering if there are any plans to have an AD&D tournament there as well?

Quote from Saeviomagy ___________________________________________ Don't force the players to answer them all. Make them read the questions, and ask them to answer the ones which they feel are important to their character. Otherwise some players may feel like this is some form of chore, and it...

Off topic here....but Djeta, my players would have eaten you alive for your fondness of bats. :) Example - I have an underdark campaign. There is a slave port, named Jeruport which exists in a null magic zone. All manner of underdark denizens come here to barter for goods that, on the...

BiggusGeekus, I seldom ask my players how their characters know each other. Instead, I try to find a plot that would provide reason as to why they'd meet. In that scenario, I often have a few of the characters already know each other. In that case, I provide the reason why, and they provide...

Storm Raven, those are great! I'll add most of those to my list. Gothmog, I'll make use of yours as well. Although the question regarding their political opinions - I've found this to be too difficult of a question. My campaign is fairly political, and inundating them with the information...

My more experienced players know that character personality is an important aspect...as such, they often have that ready at the beginning of the game. But, for the others that are still getting accustomed to my game, I'd like to provide a good list of questions that will help them to define...

I'm needing some advice from my fellow enworlders. I'm putting together a list of questions to ask a beginning player to help them flesh out their character. For example: What are the PCs ambitions? What are the PCs personal likes/dislikes? So, does anyone have a convenient list of...

In terms of sound effects, I've liked some of the Toxicbag Productions sound effect cds as well.

In another thread, alsih2o posted a comment saying that he was using Thomas Moran paintings to give his players visuals of the landscape. So, it got me wondering what other GMs use (both visuals and props). Okay, I'll start: I haven't used landscape visuals yet, but I have started using...

I haven't had many PC deaths over the years, but it does happen. They are adventurers, and death is one of the hazards of the job. If the threat of death were not there, I think that the encounters and combats wouldn't be as thrilling for them. I only allow 1 raise in my campaign (and even...

---and to add insult to injury, the next day I go take my yearbook picture for posterity's sake. *grin* Yearbooks are wonderful for keeping us humble.

How do you think I feel? I have a horrible self image! I'm a green and blue monkey with glasses! :Fathead pouts in a corner and nibbles on an over-ripe banana

Looks familiar! :) I have a campaign evaluation as well. I definitely recommend using them every so often, to insure that you are on track. I have had some GREAT responses from these, that have helped provide direction on how I could improve the gaming experience for the players. Here is...

---Some of my house rules (you want to make a new character, then it comes in two levels lower than your current character) where considered “barbaric”. In that case... :Fathead, in an obvious act of barbarism, begins clubbing his fellow enworlders We have a very similar house rule. When...

I like Ozmar's NPC encounter suggestions. I'll add one of my own, along the same lines: Have the PC approached by the priest who failed his quest. Have him moan and wail about all of the things that have befallen him since. But now, after all of this time, Talos now has entrusted him with...

You have to appreciate the humor in this...gamers, a largely socially inept breed, are debating what constitutes a good relationship! Comical! Having read the other posts, I'd like to say this: People with varied interests can indeed find that they compliment someone who does not share all of...

In my opinion, there are two routes: The first is the least interesting, but the most likely to keep your job - the non-confrontational route: purchase some headphones so that you don't have to hear her horrible yapping. The second is far more fun though - antagonize her: when she is having...
