    Forgotten Rums....? Evil Overlords...?

    I think the bean counters should do a case study on the Harley-Davidson AMF years. AMF bought HD and took a quality based product and drove it into the ground by focusing only on the bottom line. What turned HD around in the end? Why it was HD execs buying HD back from AMF. And once again...

    Playing Solo

    I love solo games, from either side of the table. I've found that a solo evil game can be quite fun. Evil games normally have a tendency to self-destruct unless you are doing team evil. But even then they tend to bog down. All that baggage is left at the station when running solo evil. Whether...

    Magic Bows and Arrows

    That's still a leap to get to Cyrano from 'K'.

    Question about Disarm and Reach

    Sunder I think he meant sunder.

    DEX penalties and Sneak Attack

    I agree. Otherwise anybody who had a 10 or below in Dex would forever be subject to a sneak attack.

    How do you adjudicate the spells, polymorph self and polymorph other?

    On that note lets drop all the cure spells too. On further thought most evocation spells should be dropped too.

    How do I turn Powergamers into Roleplayers?

    Oh yes, we tend to have those too. They normally end with someone spouting "keep your reality out of my fantasy". Yes, I should have used powergamer in the place of metagamer.

    How do I turn Powergamers into Roleplayers?

    I disagree. I think that some of the folks who don't roleplay don't do so simply because they don't know how. Or are shy or have some other player hangup. I started playing D&D when I was 8 years old. I was a powergamer munchkin from hell. I learned to roleplay in the years that followed by...

    set vs charge and AoO

    Yes you still get an AoO. Setting is a readied action. You are not considered set against other opponents. Although I would allow it if you set against a charge from a door or hallway and another enemy did charge you from that location.

    How do I turn Powergamers into Roleplayers?

    I don't think that it's impossible to convert a power gamer to a roleplayer. Although the task can be daunting. Don't expect results overnight. Try presenting situations that can only be surpassed through roleplay. Don't present the situation as a total blockage, but rather as a small side...

    Ways of Dividing Treasure-How do You do it?

    I would try to get them to resolve the issue in roleplay. They should be forced to stick with their alignment when debating who gets what. Although this can both help and hinder depending on alignment. Ultimately if they are unable to resolve the issue I would suggest having the characters...

    Dice Rolling Method

    I am torn. I actually prefer the straight 3D6 leave then where they fall method. But this will generate some low stats and is only fun if every character in the party was generated in this fashion. So barring that choice I have to go with 4D6 drop the lowest.
