    Escaping from combat, or keeping villains alive

    I'm thinking of running a short 2-3 session campaign. But one of the things I want to emphasise is that dying is bad - How do I keep villains alive? How do you run away from combat without blood thirsty heros slaughtering all your nice friendly npcs? I'm thinking to base my game on a robin...

    High Fantasy Modern Storyhour - The Long Road (updated December 7)

    I'm confused. You only posted today... but I've already read it? Did we lose some posts? The last thing I seem to remember the party had just reached Savanah. Zustiur.

    A killer puzzle that makes me want to pull my hair out.

    Sounds just the same as running a 'virtual machine' on a PC... It takes serious brain power just pretending to be someone else. Zustiur.

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    Wasn't there supposed to be an explanation of how Sagiro isn't dead after falling off a cliff? Or does that come later? Is Pewter still around? He hasn't done anything hilarious lately :( Zustiur.

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    There had better be a damned good explanation of how the Weasel survived falling off a cliff, and how he managed to be transported into an alternate time line, AND how he got into Het Brannoi. I wouldn't be surprised if the first is tied to the second. Zustiur.

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    You know, storyhours that are being updated 'every week' really shouldn't need bumping! Oh and errr... BUMP! Zustiur.

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    I think I prefer the present tense. Also, wouldn't it be less drastic to change the superhero thread to present tense? It hasn't got such a long history, and (to the best of my knowledge) doesn't have people making massive pdf documents of it. Think of the continuity please :) If you one day...

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    It didn't need to do any of that. The worm IS Stone Bear's spirit guide! Zustiur.

    Ankheg armor?

    The only problem there is that it would be heavy armour - it is plate mail afterall. Therefore yes, it's natural, so the druid wouldn't have their normal aversion to it, but they would still require the heavy armour feat... Zustiur.

    Getting back into the game...

    Hi everyone. Today's topic is reviving old campaigns. I was running a campaign for my friends, and then life happened, so we haven't played for about 6 months. We're not avid players to begin with, we generally play once a month or less. We're at the point in the game where a small story arc...

    changing the way cross class skills work

    I have to agree with Buttercup on this one. I see no major flaw in Negzero's idea. I'm split over the idea of changing the max ranks though. In some ways you've already paid the penalty... but I believe it's always a good idea to make a story: ------- WARNING: The rest of this post is quite...

    The "non cliche" DnD thread

    Oh god, that reminds me of one really bad adventure I was part of. Part of 5 jumps on some goblins.. killing all but one. the one remaining one has a 'big wacky stick' (club -1 or something to that effect), and proceded to kill everyone in the party except my thief (2E). Even the paladin in...

    If someone hasn't posted for six months+...?

    Nor the last, I had the exact same problem. Kept wondering why I had to log in every time rather than staying logged in as I wanted to. Zustiur.

    Help me equip this character

    Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I've rolled stats, and starting gold. Stats are easy enough, but I'm trying to make the equipment of this character match his background. Stats are: str10, dex13, con11, int11, wis16, cha15. His name is Paheim -------------- Elaina was a young human...

    Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

    I suspect that even if Morninstar takes the time to resurrect or raise dead One Certain Step, he may feel that by dying when he knew he would, that he has fulfilled his purpose and need not return. Zustiur.

    DM's - What rolls do you make for your players?

    Currently I let my players roll any checks they are required to make. The only times that I'll roll for them is if: A) there is a large number of rolls required ( I have a dice program to speed this up but only 3 d20s) B) I'm working things out way in advance, like writing up the adventure -...
