    Whiney players....

    I didn't say they KNEW they would lose, I just said they KNEW they were in for a fight. Keep in mind the PC's didn't know the "levels" of their opponent's. The whiny player plays the "guessing game" on ALL of the NPC's and then reacts accordingly. That's an issue. Secondly, the PC's, while...

    Whiney players....

    Springfield/Columbia? I'm in Saint Louis. You seem like a cool guy, wouldn't mind gaming with you if I was only a little closer. :cool:

    Whiney players....

    It could be. The thing is that the leading candidate for gaming a "roll of the dice" kind of game is this player, and he is now ceasing being the player and becoming the DM. I am hoping that with me and this new player playing our characters from a roleplaying perspective, that it will get the...

    Whiney players....

    jdrakeh, you really seem to be arguing something else. The PC's DID have a chance of overcoming the battle... and they DID. The point was that the player whined before hand, whined during, and whined after. If he would have just sat there, played his character heroically as he should have...

    Whiney players....

    Gothmog, your post was the closest to the reality as I see it. You almost describe the player to a "T". Now this guy is an old friend. I like him. But he does display an ENORMOUS ego, and I suspect you may be pretty close when you mention inferiority issues and responding by wanting to be...

    Whiney players....

    Wow! So many responses to a thread that I though was gone and buried. I only made it through the first page of responses before writing this up. Okay guys, allow me to explain a little bit more here. This campaign is designed to tie into an epic campaign I will be running at a much later...

    An Adventure with Airicx Evanara

    Loosely based upon a previous adventure: “Moradin’s beard! He knows we’re here,” the stocky gray bearded dwarf whispered to his two companions, an elf warrior and an old human paladin. “He’ll be upon us soon.” “Only because you couldn’t move silently if your life depended on it Thorquain...

    Help! A character in need of optimization!-sort of...

    Very interesting ODI, I will look into this. If the DM is going to be straight cannon he may not allow this at all, but if he is leniant, he may. Assuming the answer is no, do you guys have any other ideas for what this character can do to break off some pretty cool stuff in battle?

    Thanks for the tips guys!

    Whiney players....

    (edit: For more information, read post #76 by me) I've got a player in my group who is the BIGGEST whiner, and I can't stand it. The biggest problem is that he is the only other person who will DM with me, so having him around is the only way I actually get to play a character. This guy...

    Help! A character in need of optimization!-sort of...

    I am not even sure this is the right place. I think I need the help of the character optimization specialists, but I am not exactly trying to optimize, as in taking all sorts of prestige classes. Here's the deal: I finished DM'ing my campaign, and now it is time for one of the gamers in the...

    A look at: Airicx Elricus Evanara

    This thread is in desperate need of editing. :p

    A look at: Airicx Elricus Evanara

    Airicx Evanara is my (semi) retired character that I thought I'd share for the fun of it. If you wanted, you could always use him in a campaign. Airicx Elricus Evanara (1374 DR) Alignment: Chaotic Good Race: Moon Elf Gender: Male Religion: Corellon Larethian Class: Rogue 7/Fighter...

    D&D FR novels, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    I'm not a fan of Ed Greenwoods books either. They are hard for me to follow, they don't flow easily. And all of his female characters act like hookers. And that's bad coming from me because I can't stand people being uptight about sex.
