    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy a forehead

    These people are some of the most brilliant marketers in the world. I've never been to Las Vegas. There are probably 30-50 casinos or gambling house in LV. I can name 2 - MGM/Grand, and Golden Palace. They spent 10k - and got coverage on every news outlet for 2 days. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC...

    Creating a fourth player

    I solved the problem by just giving them an NPC. In my group, rarely does anyone choose cleric. However, they still need that magical goodness. So, as a group the players rolled up a cleric, and he's a party character. I don't run him at all, excepting that the players decide he does...

    Introducing the Deck of Many Things

    I introduced a deck in a previous campaign. It didn't kill it, but it did cause some hurt feelings. Basically, the PCs were your standard goodie types, out to save the world. Late one night, while the players were out on the streets alone, a hooded man approached them. He offered a chance...

    Greyhawk 911 (My players stay out!)

    Hmm. So, as the Evil Genius, here's what I would do. 1) Hire a large force of my own. Covertly position 100-200 men in each of say, five cities. 2) Go to a sixth city. Summon some demons, let loose some undead, cause havock! 3) Just after the cavalry arrives, order the men in the...

    Any homemade D&D/fantasy movies?

    Well, I wish you luck! The problem you're going to run into is that no matter what you do, it's going to look corny, or worse. Hollywood had millions of dollars to spend on it, and their movie was a joke. It's generally best to embrace what you've got - and when you're making a D&D movie, what...

    Any homemade D&D/fantasy movies?

    That would sure be nice! Actually, I've had many hours of enjoyment from this DVD. I and my gamer friends have watched this over and over. We've shown it to everyone we know who might appreciate gamer culture (and some who don't!) Everyone has loved it. I don't think there's a gamer out...

    New Game Location: Work

    When I was a manager at Laser Quest (a laser-tag game) here in Nashville, we'd LARP Vampire. The entire staff played, as we worked! In fact, the job was made part of the game. Keeping the Masqurade up also meant keeping the customers from knowing what was going on. It was quite cool. Many...

    Any homemade D&D/fantasy movies?

    The Gamers DVD is worth at least twice what they charge for it! Go order it! Now! Why are you still reading this? Go, go, go! Now, now, now! "I steal his pants!"

    Advice wanted: 3.5 weapon sizing

    How many different versions of a pointy stick do you need? It just so happens that a sword is the simplest, most efficent way of jabbing things you don't like. I don't need custom weapons with flanges, hooks, barbs, and other assorted gadgets for small creatures. Nature takes the path of...

    Advice wanted: 3.5 weapon sizing

    Well, to an extent you're right. Trying to apply logical science to a game usually will cause more problems than it's worth. However, you must apply SOME logic to the game, otherwise it's just a random jumble of crap. So, big things have big hands. Big hands need big tools. Small things have...

    ENWorld Radio? Bring it on...

    This sounds like a great idea! I currently work in TV and talk radio - I sure wish I could get something like this broadcast over the air! But for the moment, let me play devil's advocate. Consider your audence when you decide what topics to cover. If this is an EN-World thing, the majority...

    RSS Feeds?

    I'm just now getting into this RSS thing, and it seems kinda cool. So, is there an RSS feed for the forums here at EN World? Is that sort of thing even possible? It seems like it would be awesome! You could set it to monitor the Titles from new posts, and perhaps include the blurb that pops...

    Advice wanted: 3.5 weapon sizing

    You guys that have halflings running around using giant's weapons have some halflings with freakishly large hands. I never imagined a world where every creature on the planet with hands had the *exact* same size hands. That's a bit odd, don't you think? I can't imagine a 30 foot creature's...

    Getting Busy Adults Together to Play Games

    Well, my point wasn't about West Wing in particular, but a funny way of referencing TV as a whole. I'd bet that 90% of those people who claim they "just don't have time" manage to find time to watch 20-30 hours of TV a week. Probably 3+ hours at a time. If you can fit that much TV in your...

    Getting Busy Adults Together to Play Games

    The system is interesting, but I think there is another problem at the root. When trying to gather a group - especially for an RPG - the central focus is priority. It seems like many people can make it in time for the West Wing, but can never find time to role-play. That says to me that RPGs...

    How do you determine a "Real Bad Dungeon Master"

    Well, to be fair, we are talking about a bad DM here. Clearly, he didn't want the jeweler robbed. A better DM might have chosen a different path, like telling the player out of game before he got all carried away that his actions were not in the interests of everyone's benefit. Or perhaps...

    How do you determine a "Real Bad Dungeon Master"

    Well, we still don't have all the information. If, just prior to the player beginning to hatch his plan, the DM had said something like "Okay, you've just discovered the Prince missing, and you know that Evil Stevie the Wizard is involved and planning something dastardly! What will you do?" Then...
