I've only got two players, and they've just decided to run through AOW. I had them start at level 3, as gestalt characters. In a surprise out-of-character twist, they both made paladins, one a paly/monk, the other a paly/ranger. Unfortunately, they both put Int as their dump stat, and 8 is...

The last time I told my players that the gloves were off and fair Encounter Level was not a consideration, the characters got into a stressed induced fight with each other in the very next session which incited the collapse of that campaign! :heh: Be careful with that one. Edit: But a...

Yep, Gauntlets of Ogre Power was 18/00. I had a fighter whose guantlets were fused/melted into his flesh, but I don't remember why. I'm thinking it something to do with training a baby black dragon... Ah, how I miss the days of just making up rules. Of course, when your 14, reality doesn't...

I have a friend named Anya Couch. The same school we attended also had a Star Dust and Moon Dust twins. My younger brother was *almost* named Justin Thyme DeRyke. hehe. Character wise, I had a gnome with so many names the party introduced him as G-Leaf rather than letting him babble...

My players would make a mess on the floor if they knew how many villains were a rehash of their strange quirks mixed together in an odd fashion. :]

I..... I couldn't watch the whole thing. Something started leaking out of my ears....

On the All The Stops front: Recently I was running an adventure that ended up taking several game sessions spread over a couple of months because of personal crises of one sort or another with each of the players. At the beginning, the "company commander" figure giving the mission had given a...

The best two non-RPG things at my house to save game night any time an absence occured are Munchkin and Lunch Money card games.

In a campaign stuck in Limbo, we have a thri-kreen cleric, kobold sorcerer, half janni, and lizardwoman barbarian (she's a princess) as our party. Turns out, this lizardfolk tribe on a strategically located island has a pact with a certain evil human government. Any monstrous humanoids said...

My wife calls herself Roy, so maybe Roy's name won't change. Think there'll be a strip wherin Roy won't leave the room because she's "busy"?

I'm with StupidSmurf on the petty trifles with friends bit. Heck one of my players is topless most of the time, big, flabby belly rolling with every chuckle. If he feels he's not getting enough attention in game, it's not his character that acts ridiculous, it's him. Things like filling his...

Doesn't one of the Light of X spells in Planar Handbook give the option of damaging ray or healing touch, too? I banned that spell for that reason.

Huh. I'm actually about to grab the 3.5 Psionics Handbook. Any haters giving it away? For me, it's the 3rd edition Deities & Demigods. Sad part is, I read part of it at B&N, went back for another perusal and it was gone. At that point, I HAD to have it and ordered a copy. After rereading...

Believe it or now, someone stole my GURPS Discworld book before I could get anything started with it! :(

I'm sitting with Furry Pirates Supermegatopia (both of which were attempts to teach the wife to GM. She plays D&D and wants to DM, but the vast rules array intimidates her.) The newest incarnation of Marvel (with the red/white stones mumbo jumbo). Star Wars d20 (although many characters have...

Well, since this weekend I'm giving the party the "You've had two levels to learn your characters abilities, I'm not pulling any punches ever again. There will now be things you MUST run from," speech (trust me, they need a speech), here's the list of close calls from our present campaign...

I had a 2e pixie fighter specialized in the pixie bow, complete with insanely high dex. I shot everything in the eye with sleep arrows. Figured it works for crack heads, when not pixies....

The trouble here is that while many, if not all, of us have the creativity to come up with some of the latest WotC and non-WotC products ourselves, we don't necessarily have the TIME. For instance, at present, I'm running a campaign centered in a fertile river valley in the middle of a desert...

Well, like every other book I haven't bought in quite awhile, I'll spend a little time at B&N reading through it to see if there's anything I can use. If so, I'll head over to the FLGS and pick it up after thinking about it for a few days. If not, I'll let one of my gamers pick it up and let...

I voted for the Marruspawn because I'd be using it if my desert campaign wasn't more focused on an invasion from Baator and a sand lich attempting to regain his ancient throne.
