    Resuming a game 2 years later?

    Don't use the Nau-Hereth angle. It can look like railroading if they are forcing the players to work for them. If they are integral, have them ask the group for help and offer aid, equipment, etc. to finish the task. Use money only if this will motivate the group but only as a last resort...

    Player problems

    Page please? I'm looking in my PHB and nat 20 and nat 1 are only applicable to attack rolls (pg 123, Automatic Misses and Hits). Nothing is mentioned on pg 119-120 or pg 150 in regards to saving throws and what is an automatic success or failure. A natural 20/1 is not automatic...

    The fantasy lit tradition -- what came right after Tolkien?

    The next thing I got into was Joel Rosenberg's "Guardians of the Flame" series.

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    As a former serviceman who's been to war that scene was exactly how I felt when my buddies and I returned to the world. Life went on for the civilians with no clue what we had gone through or what had been required of us. We watched people around us evince an innocence we no longer had...

    GM or DM

    No surprise on my vote either. :) This does remind me of something my ex-wife did (one of the coolest compliments I've ever got.) She was visiting her sister Cassie. Cassie's bf was there. She had told him that her sister's husband (me) also played D&D. BF: Your husband plays D&D? Ex...

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    I'm a comic book fan for 30+ years. Movies based on comics have overloaded the need to complain or nitpick and that urge has burned right out of me. :) I watch book adaptations for the moments/scenes where they get it absolutely right. Those moments where, in the case of comics, the...

    Alternate (low) magic systems

    Some ideas for you. 1. Restrict the spell lists. Some spells have not been invented yet or the knowledge has been lost. 2. Magic item creation feats are not available. Those things are lost lore or those who know how will only teach this to an apprentice or disciple. In the campaign I...

    The new Battlestar

    Probably because they weren't "edgy" or "gritty" enough. :)

    Rifts D20, what would you use?

    Got anything to fight off cease & desist letters? :)

    Help everyone build their world. Share a part of yours.

    #6 Legend The Tale of the Bad Seed It is the custom of halflings to give their children "child names," such as "Skipper," "Berry," and "Tiny" for example. Sometimes these names change while still a youngster. Upon coming of age, the parents then give the child his/her adult name. Many...

    As you got sucked in to D&D, when did you know?

    When I saw the ads in the comic books I read. I knew it then. The first time I played when I was 12 just confirmed it for me.

    Justice League 12-6-03

    How about we keep the politics out of it eh? There are numerous Republican references we can go to for the same kind of baloney... Diversion over. (Back on topic) I'm glad Batman was affected. I'm tired of "Bat-God," I prefer seeing "Bat-MAN." The guy who knows when he needs to get help...

    Killing Gods

    Killing gods in my campaign required lost rituals and incantations to summon and/or trap the deity. Or finding weapons that could destroy them. Or artifacts that could banish them to another realm. I used an idea from Piers Anthony's "Incarnation of Immortality" series. Instead of the slayer...

    Is that the same for pre-orders too?

    Basic D&D rides again!

    One of the longest running campaigns I had was in OD&D Mystara. I just want it to be a decent product.

    What Were They Thinking? Worst Comic Ideas.

    Nightmask was about a kid who could get into people's dreams. Strikeforce: Moritouri wasn't part of the New Universe. I thought it wasn't too bad for an alien invasion story though. There was the not so good "Justice." A guy who could create a energy shield to protect himself and an energy...

    Justice League [Hereafter] (Spoilers - Maybe)

    I don't think she's ever been in any of the series. Are you possibly thinking of Inque from Batman Beyond?

    Most scatological session evar

    During a campaign I ran, the group ended up in Hell (A Paladin in Hell.) Returning from a foray outside the temple, the group was starved. They were given food that others had scrounged or scavenged. There had been numerous illusions and temptations that occurred during their explorations...

    Supers Conversions: Need Some Please

    Malibu was bought by Marvel and promptly ruined. They had some good stuff. It was too bad. Back issues can be picked up fairly cheap though. *waves at Nuke261* Looks like similar good taste in avatars. :)
