I'm debating on not requiring the Leadership feat or mechanics for it. I prefer a more organic approach that stems from characters actions and desires. What following they get all depends on their ability to influence especially with fixed assets rather than with what level they are or skill...

I don't use an Excel sheet, but I do use Jamis Buck's NPC generator. I find it's good enough to give me quick stat block when needed. Otherwise, I'll just run through the DMG. Sorry can't be of more help although if someone does use one, I'd like to see it also.

Political stuff can be fun to add, but you've got to know your group somewhat. I've added political issues to adventures to find out that the group bypassed them and just decided to live with the consequences. I now have a socialist character in my groups party, which I'm very happy about. I've...

We do a mix of things depending on who's absent. I started our group with the expectation that not everyone would make it every time and therefore meet every few weeks. We have one player who rarely ever makes it to the games, but is always welcome because he's just great to have there. I keep...

Yes, the beauty of unidentified magic items used in combat. "what do you mean they're wounds heal when we hit them!?"

At the end of the session, they were talking about colonizing the plane of Occipitus, which one of them is a ruler (per a modified Cauldron Series). While on the plane, they only ate fiendish bison. Well, they now want to send people over there with land plots and show them the valley where all...

Strategically they make good sense. You can have your bow specialist Ranger who has each party member race as their favored enemy in the back. While the party's fighting a big battle, your Ranger just keeps nailing the characters with these arrows. This would be good for a hidden evil character...

They're really designed for those healers that have love/hate issues with thier comrades.

Ok, let me start with part of the story from our last session. I had the players go and check out a city vault of a recently destroyed and abandoned city. They took along with them a few prominent city members and a small militia from the city to help carry things. The players had a secret...

I've got a city that has been decimated by a natural disaster. It's still got some stone buildings in tact, but most of the wooden ones aren't. The entire population is gone and away from the city as refugees. I would like some help on tasks that need to be done to rebuild and re-establish the...

My game group has been talking a bit more about skill points and how few some classes get. As the DM, I'm seriously thinking of making the adjustment, but really would like feedback before I initiate something as someone here may have had other experiences with it or thoughts. I would like to...

Thank you arche for putting the world's brains in a vat and plugging them up to a super computer that simulates real life. Life is so much better when it's virtual.

Smiting will cost you extra.

I take money under the table for my DM services like some dentists do for those without insurance. THis way I can get away from paying taxes and provide quality DM services at a much lower rate than the average DM. It is especially necessary when those without club affiliations can't afford a DM...

Obviously if you're DMing, it's up to you. If you prefer more people, than make sure you arrange that schedule. If you don't mind fewer people, then take the more frequent schedule. Just for your thoughts. I DM a game that meets every 2-4 weeks. This is mostly because of schedules and the...

IMC, Drow exist, but are rarely seen. I will never allow a drow character. I'm not sick of drow as much as I'm sick of everyone wanting to be one. I'm lucky that my current gaming group isn't into being a drow and happy to use the regular core races overall.

Anyone interested in playing in the Anover area of Massachusetts? We've got a group going on there that meets every 2-4 weeks on average. We have 4 regulars and one player who's always got a seat when he comes. We could use another regular player out there to enjoy our fun-filled games :D. We...

Ok, I've DM'd a lot, but when I finally decided to play, I played a wizard. Now, being a DM, you'd think I was smart enough to protect my spellbook from any disaster, but of course, I didn't. My character falls into the water, with my spellbook in my backpack. I wasn't in more than one round...

Our last game was talking about this topic. Short Sword of Suicide: Intelligent short sword that attempts to dominate the user once a day so it will can force the user to commit suicide. The sword of course will be a very useful one perhaps a +3 with some other special abilities. When we...
