    Which of these games would you rather play (and why)?

    i voted for two. a ragtag group of heroes versus the world sounds pretty good. a war is something that is rarely fun to play through, because even a 20th level character rarely can actually turn the tide of a battle involving hundreds of more likely thousands of combatants on both sides...

    How can I stall combat for a couple rounds?

    they don't call me party killer because of my winning smile. first and third examples, take the party members involved in combat to a back room. tell them they're outnumbered and abandonned by their friends. have an opponent offer to let them surrender, or they have to duke it out and wait...

    [Dread] Jenga beat up my dice! My results from the indie horror RPG.

    went to see predators earlier and spent the whole movie mentally comparing the movie to the progression of a game of dread.

    Frenzied Berzerker

    i played a frenzied bererker once in a game. we were on our way to take out a dragon, i was in the lead when a trap shot me with a crossbow bolt that managed to do one point of damage. before i had picked up my d20 to save, three of the four other players declared that they were hitting me for...

    [Dread] Jenga beat up my dice! My results from the indie horror RPG.

    i've got a friend coming to town from two states over next weekend who demands that we eat at a local steak joint that is amazing, and that i run a game of dread for him. he's never played it, just read the description of the system and the above post-game report and talked to a few of the...

    [Dread] Jenga beat up my dice! My results from the indie horror RPG.

    i found my post-game write up for my first dread game, under a metal sky. it's got spoilers in it, so beware if you wanna play in the game. i got told i had to name the ship, because the captain would have been too stoned to bother renaming it, so i looked over his background and decided that he...

    Might return after years away

    my aunt has a rediculous (probably a couple thousand) amount of cards from back in the day. she's eager to sell them, but isn't sure what any of them are worth. i haven't played in about a decade, so i was useless to her in finding them a new home, but if you're really interested, i could act as...

    My players want to buy an Inn.

    make sure they are the first tavern to offer Dragon Ssip, the Adventurer's Energy Drink, and they'll make more money than they can make some poor hireling carry.

    When Players Ruin Your Evil Plans

    and to date, probably the best player initiated plot destruction was in a star wars game, where the party were intended to be pirates. the characters were sent to deliver some jewels to a "friend" of the captain. on the way down to the planet, two party members playing mandalorian warriors...

    12 Tact-Tiles Sold for $360!

    i work in a bookstore where we used to sell posters. the display case was thrown out after we stopped, so i grabbed all the inserts. they're a layer of white cardboard, about 3'x4', with a sheet of plastic on each side. i took one, drew a grid on the cardboard with a sharpie, and experimented to...

    When Players Ruin Your Evil Plans

    so no one in the village had a problem with the party murdering an unconcious man instead of turning him over to the proper authorities? it's not like they would have had to drag him all the way back to civilization. just down the street to the nearest cell.

    The Worst Awsome thing done in a game.

    ok, two stories, the first hasn't happened yet, but it's directly related to the leading post: for over a year now, i've been threatening every d&d dm with a wizard pc. every day, i would use one of my unused spells to cast explosive runes on a new sheet of paper in a blank book. when...

    Ever run a D&D campaign as a D&D game?

    i've had a long-planned storyline that involved the players finding a trio of great magical tomes (the d&d core books) and using them to understand and influence the world beyond anyones abilities. over the course of the campaign, they would use the knowledge from the books to alter the world...

    [Dread] Jenga beat up my dice! My results from the indie horror RPG.

    i just discovered dread a few weeks ago. i ran beneath a metal sky for some friends and it went alarmingly well. everyone seemed to enjoy it, and many of the answers on questionaires actually inspired me to make changes to the story. i ran it again a week later and it happened again...
