Ok so i've been reading a bit about the various DM assisstance programs out there. And I'm considering purchasing one in the near future, so I was wondering...Do any of you use one of these Computerized DMing Programs? And if so what do you like about it and waht do you hate about it? And if...

I was kinda leaning that way, I figured that I might start by having them fight a zombie wielding the sword and once they realize that the can't kill it by conventional means have it start to dog them for awhile, especially after they gain the Amulet of the Night-time sky and of course they...

Up till a few months ago I would have said Pencil and paper all the way, but htat all changed when I purchased my first laptop and since then I can't stop typing up ideas, between my laptop and my PDA I'm constantly jotting down ideas for adventures, items, and NPCs I still prefer the good old...

I've used GI Joes and those little green army men on ocasion

I have to say I'm a bit of a minimalist, I don't like to have too much clutter so I restrict myself to the Core books and anything else from there I gather from either the Internet, or by borrowing books from friends and keeping really good notes on the books after I return them.

I don't write in my books I'm way too OCD to start doing anything of the sort but what I have done, and its worked great for me, is that I will actually transcribe part of a book i'm using into Word and type in my extra notes where I want them and I then print it out and place the sheets into a...

Only thing I have that can really be used in this thread is a Mana system which I used in 3.0 a few times. Take Caster's spell attribute bonus (WIS, INT, CHA, etc.) and add 1d10 for first level, For each consecutive level use this same formula Attribute Bonus + 1d10 = Mana Gained Spell cost...

EDITED I was thinking that the characters would have to earn this item from a Zombie they have to kill by the end of the first adventure. And was hoping that atleast one of them decided to keep and use it. I figured Magice Detection shows the Sword as being a +1 Longsword, but they would have...

My group has the Standing Beer Rule, where who ever brings the DM the most Beer from the fridge that night gets extra XP. You should see some of the fights that have broken out when the DM takes that last swig from his Killians, its like everyone's eyes get as big as saucers and people start...

I ran into this problem once before while DMing a game, one of my players wanted to be a Summoner and not anything else, he was absolutely adimant about bieng a Summoner. I hated the Idea at first (I'm kinda lazy like that), but I let him do it. We sat and talked over the details for several...

The Dwarves and Gnomes which in habit the city spend much of their time mining at the rock face, extending the city further back into the cliff and creating tunnels to connect to the outpost at the top of the cliffs

Ok well I've been working on information for a new campaign and I wanted to get some feedback on a few items that I've come up with. Just curious as to if what I'm thinking is on par with what Good DMs would come up with. Here's a list of a few of my ideas that I've fleshed out a bit, so let me...

A shadowy lanky figure swaggers into town his heavy cowl setting his face back deep in shadows, thin fingers sticking out of his cloak roll a gold coin to-and-fro. The shadowy character appears to look about the town eyeing each person around with a stony grey gaze that sends a cold chill down...

Wow this Thread is absolutely Amazing, having only GMed a few times, I've alwasy felt unorganized and unprepaired despite ow much time I might have spent fleshing out every single possible outcome and aspect, these ideas...no not Ideas, Rules, for these should be the rules that all GMs should...

Hiya, I'm a realativly new GM despite that I've been GMing for about 3 years on and off with Various Games. I seem to have many ideas but not sure on how to flesh them out to make them truely enjoyable for my players, my players seem to enjoy what i come up with although I don't feel that they...

Ok thanks for the info, soon as i have something together I'll post here in General, luckily none of my players come to this site or even know about it

Ok I've searched all over this Site and i can't seem to find a Forum or Thread that is designed soley for GMs to be able to post their Ideas and gain feedback on them from other GMs. Perhaps I just overlooked it or Perhaps is simply does not exist on this site...Anybody know?
