    The Otherworld

    I am completely one of the janitors on campus. Background details coming soon (as well as an appropriately cropped photo for the above method of application).

    The Otherworld

    Put me on the list for present, or future participation if you have enough players already. How do the current recruits feel about Philadelphia?

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    My stomach hurts from laughing at this.

    God of Happiness

    I think the first half of it stands for "If You Know What I Mean" Acronyms are evil tools of lazy, lazy people. Or rather, AAETLLP.

    Weapon plus

    I went for a +4 keen greatsword with a high level fighter character once. Combined with the right feats, the critical damage was ludicrous.

    readying actions

    It depends. You need cover or concealment to hide (barring HipS) so you have to take the terrain, and the specific availability of these things into account. Are you hiding in the shadows, or around the corner? Are you behind the rain barrel or in it? Make your player get specific in their...

    Annoying Elves

    You should suggest that the DM curse him with being polymorphed into a monkey, then take your time finding a cure.

    First Time DM. Suggestions?

    I was a new DM (well, I still am) but a brandnew, right out of the packaging DM in 2002. I made all (or at least a decent amount) of the classic mistakes (I didn't find this board until last year). So, my advice would include: Don't overplan, just enough to keep things rolling, and not...

    Gay PCs or NPCs

    In our longest and (arguably) most memorable campaign, set in Westgate, FR, we ran into a lot of adult themes that were alluded to very well by our DM. It was just enough to make you acknowledge the reality of what was going on in this city, but not done overtly so that it crossed any lines...

    NaNoWriMo 2005 - Who's in?

    I just heard about it at about 6pm CST on Nov. 1st, and I'm in. Totally on the fly. Longest thing I've ever written has probably been a 5000 word essay, so ten times that amount with no prep is going to be pretty interesting :D Not sure if I'll finish, but I'm already seeing the mental benefits...

    Fireball or Lightning Bolt?

    A lightning bolt sets things on fire. Fireball doesn't. Lightning bolt it is (I also find myself agreeing with the reasons you stated as well).

    The mechanics of non-stop action

    My gaming compatriots and myself often fantasize about systems with these kinds of changes to magic. The 'retreat and regroup' aspect of the game as it is just tends to be a hazard of the system rather than something players look forward to. We tend to gloss over it frequently, and likely if it...

    How is your divine magic working, if at all?

    Quest

    The usefulness of Geas/Quest was negated by a change to the effects of the sickened condition from 3.0 to 3.5. The spell was not updated accordingly. If I remember correctly, in 3.0 if you were sickened, you could not be healed, magically or otherwise, and so the damage from the spell was...

    Tips for a long-lasting D&D campaign?

    I've never played in or DMed a campaign that lasted more than 8 months, but the most important factor in keeping things alive in general has been keeping players interested in the characters. What keeps your players interested, of course, depends on the individual players. Some want to play out...

    DM's Delema: To kill or not to kill

    I've learned the lesson of giving dilemmas like this to my players the hard way. A DM holding onto a preconceived idea of a 'right' and a 'wrong' choice, or even a 'superior' and 'inferior' choice is a recipe for some discontentment, at the least. In the game, the characters are faced with a...

    DM's Delema: To kill or not to kill

    :cool: Supercool idea. Such a soundfile could also be very useful in other campaigns. Man, I want one!

    DM's Delema: To kill or not to kill

    Here's one possible solution that is potentially cool and uses all the elements you've drummed up, as well as making good on PC decisions. Just throwing it out there for consideration. The Inquisition is, obviously, pissed. Thirty dead brothers! "We have to find those no good murdering PCs"...
