    People as a commodity?

    In my campaign, the group ventured to an underdark slave port to bid on one of their companions. I based the slave prices on the character skills, looks (both attractiveness and physical strength), and race. I felt that the last one was important, because of the age ranges of the different...

    Need help DMing my s.o. (take pity on me!)

    I wouldn't be so adverse to including fantasy creatures and magic - it's the element of the fantastical that draws people to that genre. Look at some of the films/books that you are citing as your girlfriend's interests - Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings both focus on that. What I WOULD...

    GenCon Indy - Breakfast! - looking suggestions from an Indy local

    We will indeed have our own transportion, so feel free to post directions. I have a feeling that for most meals, we'll stick relatively close to the convention center, but we'll venture away for a couple dinners. Since we're on the topic of dinner...how about recommendations for a good Thai...

    GenCon Indy - Breakfast! - looking suggestions from an Indy local

    I have some great pictures of that! After the hail of powdered donuts subsided, Tewl could have been mistaken for the abominable snowman. Childish, I know...but it sure was fun. I'll have to share those pictures with my fellow enworlders sometime... *impish grin*

    GenCon Indy - Breakfast! - looking suggestions from an Indy local

    Nope...no breakfast peeps for you... You will have to sustain yourself on a strict early morning diet of 3 day old powder Dunkin Donut-holes.

    GenCon Indy - Breakfast! - looking suggestions from an Indy local

    I think that we may try a couple of the different suggestions that we've seen. If we find one comparable to our long-lost Michaels, we'll stick with that one. So far, the suggestions that I have been going off of have been from the following 2 sites (I'm mentioning these in case anyone else is...

    GenCon Indy - Breakfast! - looking suggestions from an Indy local

    While GenCon was in Milwaukee, my gaming group had a favorite breakfast restaurant that we frequented every morning (Michaels...anyone know of it?). Now that GenCon has moved to Indy, we're looking for a new favorite haunt. Any suggestions?

    What's the most rat bastard thing you've ever done as a DM?

    The group travels to an underdark city named Jeruport, to bid on one of their captured companions (thereby freeing her from impending slavery). The slaver port exists in null magic (which actually simply surpresses magic, and keeps it from functioning). They discover that one of the...

    Whadaya think of this idea?(my players stay out!)(LONG)

    I like the idea a lot! If I decide to run a modern campaign, I may steal your some of your ideas... :) If you're looking for a free message board, there are plenty of developer communities where you could get some nice ones. I develop in ASP, so one of my favorite spots for free code is...

    D&D Open tournament adventures

    I still haven't been able to find any help on this one. Does anyone have any additional insight? If not, I'll resolve myself to the idea that the adventures do indeed disappear into the ether, as suggested... :)

    The druid is not fighting!!! LONG!

    ----posted by Fenes 2: I would never try to solve a problem between players IC, it is much better to solve problems between players outside the game. I would get pretty mad if, to take an extreme example, a player would have his PC assassinate mine because he thought my PC was overpowered...

    The druid is not fighting!!! LONG!

    I wouldn't broach the subject outside of the game. If you suggest entering combat, the player is likely to resent the interference in the play of his character...and more so, when the druid dies in combat. I would do 2 things - 1. Let the other players deal with it. My group will have...

    D&D Open tournament adventures

    I've already signed up a team for the Sword of Cuthbert, so I'm set to go... :D In the past, these adventures were often distributed to clubs as a benefit to the RPGA Clubs program...but, the clubs program is defunct now. I know that these adventures are not available through the RPGA online...

    D&D Open tournament adventures

    Caudor, thanks for the compliments on my monkey head. I'd like to personally give you an award for most frightening clown. I believe that you'll have to be content with a 2nd place trophy though...1st place has already gone to GrimJesta on the Hackmaster boards. PirateCat, I only have...

    D&D Open tournament adventures

    Thanks Toe! I had given up on this post and let it slip into the En World void, where it would sit...lonely and unread. You must have delved deep into the previous posts to save this one... :) As an update, I have made other posts, scoured yahoo groups, and emailed the RPGA to the point of...

    Planescape Planescape "Cutters" adventure

    It was an adventure written by Chris Perkins. Here is an excerpt from an interview with him, in which the adventure is mentioned: "Encouraged by my earlier work, the RPGA® Network asked me to design a three-round AD&D Open tournament based on the PLANESCAPE® Campaign Setting. The result was a...

    Planescape Planescape "Cutters" adventure

    Anyone know where I can get a copy of this? "Cutters" was run as the D&D Open event a few years ago, and I haven't seen it since. Any help would be appreciated!

    D&D Open tournament adventures

    Does anyone know where these adventures go?! Every year, the D&D Open event is run at GenCon. Some previous years released actual modules (it has been quite awhile since that happened though). But, very few are ever seen again. I am now looking to obtain copies of the past 3 adventures...

    [Gen Con] RPGA events

    D&D Open Since we're on the topic of GenCon, I thought this would be a good place to pose this question: Does anyone know where I can get a hold of previous Open tournaments? My gaming group plays the Open nearly every year. We always have a game day prior to GenCon. I'd like to be able...

    [Gen Con] RPGA events

    Sadly, many of the times for the RPGA events are incorrect. If you look at the D&D Open on Thursday (the first one in the list), it shows up as lasting 12 hours (from 8am to 8pm). Additionally, you'll find many events that last from 8am-8am. Somehow, I don't think that is correct. :) If...
