The only problem I see with having a DM's guide containing only material about how to engage players, and that type of information is that many experienced DM's may feel like they don't need the DM's guide. They may well feel they know about role-play. They may know the players they will be...

I get this. It's just sometimes you'd like WOTC to still support the edition you like playing. Once they don't support it anymore because the focus is on the next edition, it sometimes feels like something is missing. Of course nobody needs to switch if DDN isn't as fun as whatever edition...

I'm excited about it, against my better judgement. I was against new additions for a long time. I didn't like the strategy behind it and thought it was disloyal to customers who invested so much time and money into one edition to all of a sudden discontinue it. I bought AD&D and other...

One of the campaigns I play in is just myself one other PC and our DM. We currently have 4 NPC's with us. The DM plays the NPC's, though we do offer advice about tactical moves before each combat, and level ups etc. That allows us to still try and build a team that works well together, while...

I feel your pain. It's hard to find fantasy that finds new ways to tell a story and fits into your criteria for what you want out of a book. The problem I have is that I'm looking for a new fantasy book or series, but I'd really like something that focuses on a group of heroes working together...

I've played fantasy grounds and Fantasy Grounds 2 before getting into the VT table. I now play in two regular groups on VT. I like DDI's VT table. There are some real positives to the program. 1. The ease of importing characters 2. Built in chat. It was a pain for using Fantasy Grounds...

That's a good point. I guess when I didn't stay at Disney resort I was going as cheaply as possible and stayed at a Best Western that didn't have any kind of transportation. One of my favorite things about that was that I got to eat breakfast at waffle house each morning. It sounds gross, but...

I highly recommend this book. It has different plans for doing Disney with kids and without. It lists which times which parks are the most crowded, and also which times at the park which rides are the most crowded, and actually provides plans of the order to do each ride in order to avoid the...

I'm not sure what I hope it is. I have a list of things that I don't like, and maybe a thing or two I'd like to see included in whatever it is. The things I don't want to see (These are just my preferences it's fine for people to have different preferences) 1. I would hope that it wouldn't...

I did enjoy Greyhawk in the past. Though it was home ruled so much (which was really easy to do with Greyhawk) that it was basically a new world based on Greyhawk. I liked some of the Dragon Lance Books, and could see the appeal of different groups such as the Knights of Solamnia. But...

Nothing really new from me. All of the stuff is there for me to create. I'm an old D&D player, but new to 4e. On the CB I can create Rangers (which are in the PHB 1), and also try out creating a monk (which are in PHB 3). Plus the errata, updates, and other info on those characters are all...

I pretty much agree with this. I like humans as characters because whatever heroics they perform and whatever status they reach, they had basically the same tools as people I know with which to accomplish their feats. Other races are fine but seem like they have racial bonuses (sometimes...

It sounds like a really cool idea. I love getting involved in the world as much as possible. But I don't know the players. If it feels like homework to them, then it wouldn't be as fun. I do think it's possible to slip players notes about details they would know based on their background as...

Most of the campaigns and the most enjoyable ones I've played in were home made but based on Greyhawk, or sometimes on different modules then changed fit into the campaign and world the DM had created. So I would go with home made, because nothing prevents home made worlds from borrow the best...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but it deserves it, and I'm waxing nostalgic today. The class level names were a seemingly trivial thing, but I absolutely loved them. It made me look forward to reaching the next level, especially when it had a cool title. Once the monks had to start fighting to...

I wouldn't worry about the creepiness. My first reaction would be to join in order to be supportive. There are often fewer female gamers and supporting one at an early stage of game development could be great. The fact that it is a young gamer is also great, because I would feel like passing...

edit. Accidental double post

I know this is mainly about player Scrubb, but let me speak up about player A for a minute. His randomness could well be viewed as character quirks. They may add depth to his character. If possible try and find a way to tie it in to the adventure. When you say jumping over threes, do you...

That's very kind indeed. Pasadena isn't too far at all from me, and Anaheim might even be worth the trip for some boot hill. My schedule pretty much sucks this time of the year, but I will do everything I can to make it. I'll send you a message and try and find out what time you guys are...

Wow. You might be my hero. I was going to post about the rpg games I wish I played but haven't in many years, and have given up hope finding others to play. I was going to list - Traveler, Flashing Blades, Boot Hill, Sidewinder Recoiled D20, and Pirates and Plunder, as well as possibly Behind...
