These situations tend to be easy to see when they crop up. It's the times when the player asks the DM, "Is this going to work?" EVEN when using a battlemap. As for the wizard being able to reliably casts his spells.. He certainly should, but only to a certain degree of accuracy. "I wish to...

What I do about the wizards fireball issue is this: Give the wizard a spellcraft check. DC 10 + Spell level + Circumstancial Modifier (He wants to hit the evil goblin, but not the dwarf that's fighting him for instance. Let's say +4 to the DC) So the *player* can aim perfectly, but if he...

It's pretty interesting, none of the groups I've played with for years now ever used a battlemat, so I figured I'd try it just as an experiment in the game I run. I asked the players what they thought about it during the first session, and they think it was so-so. After the end of the second...

Thanks, I'll be sure to check that out :D

Hey everyone, this looks like a grand thing to join, so here goes my application. I've been playing rpg's since the early 90's, when me and some friends started making more and more extra quests to Hero Quest. Eventually we dropped the grid and just played with paper and dice, and not long after...

In the Magic (the gathering) based campaign I'm leading, my players have managed to break free from a fake world (manabubble), set up by a powerful mage named Urza. Some of them have gone through a crisis, what with everything they ever knew being a fake, family and friends all gone.. (or are...

Would have to be the thief I think. Stay out of harm's way and put in a good backstab when it's needed. That, and I can do some sleight-of-handing.

Hrmf, my ten-year-old copy only has one poster map in it :mad:

I like lurking in here, and usually by the time I get to a thread (and finish reading it!) it's reached some sort of conclusion or consensus. Then I go on to another thread and it all repeats itself.

I can think of a couple of reasons for not engaging in immersive play. First and foremost it could be shyness/feeling silly or the likes. Another reason, and perhaps a more valid one is conservation of time. You can skim over unimportant bits by doing them in a non-immersive fashion, and as a...

Just so I'm clear about the differences between immersion and non-immersion.. For instance: First, the DM describes a tavern, the general tone of the place and how busy it is. The DM also describes the innkeeper, a gruff looking man with one arm missing, the hand replaced by a hook (and so on...

I've always pronounced Bullette like Roulette. Only with a B. :p

He has landed! Hello all, I'm a long-time lurker to this site, haven't ever posted here though :p Born in '82, been gaming since AD&D 2nd edition (Hero Quest first of all, to be fair..) some time around '92 or '93. I enjoy all sorts of gaming, but I'm usually a fiercely competetive gamer. I...
