    Advice for DM-ing an "old school" solo campaign

    If you've ever played a Zelda game, that is a GREAT example of a solo adventure you can pull from. In a solo game, there are going to be NPCs that your wife is going to get to know better than in a group game (where each of the PCs are the stars and their interaction is the focus) so make sure...

    What Scares You?

    Drowning, for one. Perhaps you could have some of the party members be swimming underwater and represent their breath with small hourglasses (from board games). I'm sure they will freak as the time slowly runs out. Riding a motorcycle also scares the crap out of me - although driving my car at...

    1 min per level spells and why they suck

    Perhaps a good houserule for 1-minute spells would be to add the (Int/Wis/Cha) modifier- it won't bring the spell back to it's old glory, but it will lengthen it a bit. For instance, a 5th level Cleric with a WIS of 16 would cast bull's strength and it would last: 1+3 (WIS modifier)= 4 x 5...

    Problem: character deaths are leading to enormous party wealth

    Kalendraf, you need to face it: you are currently (albeit subtley)rewarding the party for dying in the adventure. The PC that dies must be put at a disadvantage; as must the party that let the PC die. 1) Do you keep track of the party's encumbrance? After awhile all this gear is going to weigh...

    3.5E Gnome War!

    I would prefer to keep the gnome's preferred class at illusionist - but I'm not going to freak out and kill everyone because it's been changed to bard. As has already been said, people don't relate gnomes with bards. I have yet to read ANY literature with gnomes as bards. Ok, so I have yet to...

    Problem: character deaths are leading to enormous party wealth

    Uhm...couldn't you just EXPLAIN to them that what they are doing is screwing up your management of the game? If not, you could tell them that looting the body of a dead ally is considered an evil act (hey, it could be, and hopefully the party is mostly good) and that the proper thing to do...

    How are they going to change bards?

    Do we have any information at the moment? I'm hoping they open up his spell list to include some more arcane spells. I would think a bard should have access to spider climb at first level, for instance. Also, what does everyone think of bards using metamagic feats? Hmm.

    Gimble: Hot or Not?

    Not. Gimble- are you the same Gimble from the BIS forums? If so, hi.
