    When to allow players to change out characters

    Roll with this, as a way to make a new character. Do the characters know that their abilities have changed? Maybe your caster, with insight into the strange mysteries of the universes, remembers the way things used to be and can't live with it. This leads to erratic behavior as caution is...

    When the dice are against you... your worst dice rolls ever

    What do your PCs do with prisoners?

    This question has come up a lot in the d20 Apocalypse game I am playing in. Our game started during an epidemic and during the fourth session the Bombs fell. There is a lot of uncertainty because we have not found any continuity of government in our region. My character was a cop (Smart level 1...

    Longtime listener. . . Hey, first post. I play Star Wars minis at the Monster's Den in Minneapolis if anyone is interested. We meet Wednesday night between 7 and 8 and have scenarios that rotate each week.
