Precisely. At the end of the day you run into two sets of rules. You or I get drunk and obnoxious, we get told to leave. If we do not go quietly, we get banned at least until the next convention. If we go WAY overboard, we get perma banned. Fannon may have an okay following with his stuff...

Thing is, they already have regulations you agree to when you go to the con. Not sure what else you want them to do/ they can do. - Do they create a ban list of everyone that has ever been even accused of harassing someone? Who decides? ENworld? Kataku? - Is this ban retroactive? Can someone...

A 40 dice meteor swarm or two along with multiple attacks from action surges, 2 dice magic great weapons, and sneak attacks whittle this thing down in a round or two. Not to mention it's low dexterity which means it will lose in initiative most of the time. Now, if it gets going, yeah... those...

I find simpler is better. I do draw world maps, but seldom dungeon maps unless there is some storyline and I 100 percent sure the PCs will have to go there. Instead, I use a flowchart in a notebook or draw freeform on a battlemat with washable ink as I go along. This is particularly important...

They creeped slowly through the circle of rooms, being observant as possible. There were many minutes of an unspoken anticipation. Everyone was magically buffed up as much as resources would allow. The taskmaster could very well be here. But, a sweep of the circle of rooms revealed nothing...

They walked through past the shattered gates of the colosium where pitched Dungeon Ball games were once played. It used to be a crowded affair full of life. Now, it reeked of decay with doors exploded. Occasionally, they would catch glimpses of looters in the upper boxes the wealthy watched...

This is not always a problem but at times in my gaming career has depending on where I have lived. particularly Gulf South region. - Finding players and groups that are not 100 miles away in some areas. - Conventions that say they are RPG but are nothing but Warhammer or Wargames or gtfo. No...

The PCs told the Patron about the Taskmaster escaping including running into a portal in the lair leading to a Temple of Tiamat. They also told them of a narrow escape from many powerful dragons and disabling the portal to make sure none come through. Of course, the Horde was not mentioned, but...

The Wizard collapsed leaning against one of the marble walls and sat breathing heavily. The Taskmaster had escaped. He went into a Temple of Tiamat located who knows where on the planet. At first the PCs were dismayed over the unfairness of the situation until the rogue looked at the Cohort's...

...but would I? Later I would find it harder to challenge them without personally tweaking NPCs and Monsters more than I had before. The power arms race had begun. Slow now, but as the final years would roll on it would get insane. Harsh lesson indeed. But anyways, a DM tends to rant. The...

Specialties/Backgrounds No more picking through long, exhautive list of feats which without tons of study, you would not know what to pick. Now, just what goes with story. Hope it stays that way and long lists of feats from the 3e/4e era die in a fire! Disadvange/Advantage stolen from...

I found that 4e's minion system did okay for some situations to keep down accounting, but powers are way toned down from 3e to 4e. Love the easier math, but had to house rule tons of 3e stuff in. However, the system of 4e really fails on some points with minions. That level 19 whatever may be...

A little note before I get too much hate. I can hear some on this board grumbling. In fact I hear three words in particular: MONTY HAUL CAMPAIGN Those three words are sometimes used in disdain and spite along with the other cuss words POWER GAMER MUNCHKIN In fact, let me talk about the...

The room beyond was a great hallway with 90 foot tall statues. Very, vey tall cielings that must have extended up 100 feet. Of course, the Pale Bearded Man warned them that there were rumors of statues that moved and attacked. "Wait", the Wizard said. He uttered a few words and the entire...

The Wizard was really happy to get along moving. Hell, as long as this has taken, the Taskmaster might be healed up and back in Metroplis causing trouble. It was not that the Wizard doubted the power of spiritual things. Indeed, his family followed the Fire God. It is even how he met the Rogue...

The Rogue saw through, "Those are not ordinary bears!" "Of course not, Human." One of the bears shifted into human form of a pale man with an unkept beard and gray fur linings. 'For I am human as well. I ask, what brings you to this place?" The Druid answered, "We seek the lair of a dragon...

The Rogue was at home with people. It was not so much that he did not enjoy trees and rocks. This was a breathtaking area with beautiful views like the savannahs of his home city, but this time with mountains. It was the first time in his life seeing mountains. But unlike people and buildings...

The Party was briefed on the area. The area was a heavily forested and hilly area in a valley with a huge lake. There was a small Empire village there called Starfall. Not much was known about the population of dragons there, so the PCs were warned to be on the lookout. The Druid was happy...

My take on it is this: The old kids game of playing with action figures is a storytelling game. For girls, it is Barbies. Now, if all the participants agree to create a story, cool. I had some excellent stories going on between action figures and imagination creating scenarios as a young boy...
