    Your RPG moment of 2003

    As a player... It wasn't long after I joined a group of my, then, room-mate and several of his friends who had been playing together, on and off, for quite a long time. My, then, room-mate was running the group through the Standing Stones module, and had adapted certain aspects of it to fit...

    GenCon SoCal Post Thoughts

    I also went on Sat. It was bigger then what I remember of the Gamex cons, but smaller then I expected. I really only went for two things... Shopping, and True Dungeon. True Dungeon rocked like the proverbial hurricane. Shopping was... Okay... We thought there would be a Kenzer and Co. booth...

    Help me come up with book titles.

    An Encyclopedia of Reagents (Information on items that can be used in casting spells or making magic items.) Fungus of the Northern Midlands (Alchemical information) Take 1000 Eggs or More (A cookbook... This is actually a title of a real book) The Dead Book of Death (A poorly translated...

    Just *how* big is that gold piece again?

    Just because a coin contains "1gp" worth of gold and weighs a certain amount doesn't mean that the ore making up the coin is pure gold...

    Oft-repeated "theme" phrases from your Campaigns and their origins.

    "He/she can be {insert player/character name here} the Red" Slang for when a player may or may not show up, or be late to a game, so their character is theoretically with the party but not really there until the player shows up. A reference to Dead Gentleman Productions brilliant movie "The...

    [nostalgia] Looking back at the stupid crap we used to do

    I once had a Thief, her name was "stickyfingers" in French. Once, just to be annoying, I made a Kender Wildmage, named "Sherbert Hitthedirt". Her familer was a fairy dragon named "Banaca". Annother character in the party was a CN fighter/rogue who was a Drow in disguise... I zapped him with...

    They didn't look all that bad today to me.

    GenCon SoCal & ENWorld Gathering

    I'll be there today as well, you'll know me by my red hardshell backpack! To bad we didn't get it together to organize a dinner outing or something.

    Holy Symbol made of...

    Okay, so a Cleric's Holy Symbol can be made of metal, wood, or stone right? What about paper? Or cloth (like a patch on one's cloak or vest)? Or a tattoo? If you're really desperate, and have some carving skill, could you whittle one out of a potato? Where and how do you draw the line for...

    Adventure Survey

    As a brand spanking new DM (long time player) I recently went on a hunt for a module. I already knew what I wanted to do story wise, but I needed help with ... I guess I would call them battle scenarios... I really wanted something to help with creating a final encounter. I'm very nervous...

    Quieting a chatterbox

    I agree. Talk directly to her, don't do it over email or the phone. Suggest to her also, that playing a magic user is very very rules heavy, and, in the past she has not shown that learning the rules is something that she is interested in. Suggest, instead, that she play a strait up fighter...

    3.5 DM Screen?

    So [url = https://secure.paizo.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/detail?pid=68]Paizo[/url] is selling the screen that they bundled with Dragon 310 now for $6... Now I've seen the screen that went with 310, and that was fine for something that came with a magazine... But it does seem rather...

    Everything I Ever Learned About DMing I Learned From Comic Books

    And here's to the hope that SOMEBODY will pick Firefly back up... (A girl can dream...) It's interesting how he's come up as an example of how to construct a good RP'ing experience, because one of the reasons that I liked that show so much... I reminded me a whole lot of playing Fading Suns...

    When good roleplayers rebel...

    As far as the whole failure to correctly predict the reaction of a player (or players) you thought you had nailed, and thus your plans are going to change drastically thing... I'm right there with you. But I have to agree with Dirigible. In your case, the out come of this miscalculation is...

    Running dungeons with high level PCs (my players don't read - and yes, I'll know!)

    But they could also be made too easy. I recently ran my first game as DM. It was a capture/escape adventure for a bunch of level 10's. For some god unknown reason, I wanted to give my players "freedom". I don't mean freedom for their characters per sae. But freedom to choose which way they...
