    PC on PC action!

    I think I've been misrepresented. I'm not actually suggesting two players role-play 'to the max' as some people seem to think I am, nor am I suggesting anything untoward. I am merely saying that I have always wanted to have that player dynamic, where two PCs are involved with one another. It...

    PC on PC action!

    One of my ambitions as a DM is to have two player characters 'get it on', either via a snog or preferably something a bit more intense. I've had romances between PCs and NPCs before, several times, and I had one PC become pregnant, but I've never managed to achieve it between two PCs. The DM...

    Give me ideas

    I like the Githyanki idea. I may just have to use that.

    Sir or Madam

    You still call your dad 'Sir'? If I called my Dad "Sir?" he'd just laugh. Either that or get pissed off 'cos I was being sarcastic.

    Can you target a magic missile at an object?

    In the book it either says or implies you can't, but my question is, if not, why not? Based on the spell description, and in particular the description of the spell effect, isn't it only logical that you be able to target a magic missile spell at an inanimate object and cause damage to it like...

    Sir or Madam

    Anybody on this forum who is a fellow Aussie may have heard about the happenings at Parliament, where security guards were asked to stop calling people 'mate'. This isn't a political thread but that point leads on to my question, which is: do you mind if people call you a familial name...

    Why no politics or religion?

    That's a political statement right there, you know.

    Give me ideas

    My present campaign is more of a minicampaign, involving the PCs' quest to restore the rightful king of a small nation. You know - that old chestnut. They're quite enjoying it so far because I'm giving them carte blanche over what they do - letting them decide how to proceed rather than giving...

    Non-Evil Bad Guys

    Most wars are. There's no reason whatsoever why two good kingdoms can't be bitter enemies, especially if one is Chaotic and one is Lawful.

    Non-Evil Bad Guys

    I did an adventure once where in order to put an end to a bloody war, a bard had the idea of stealing a powerful, forgotten scroll from a wizards' guild and using it to destroy the enemy capital. He wasn't evil - he was Chaotic Neutral. He thought he was acting for good - he believed very...

    Back in my day (ooh me back etc)...

    Does anyone, like I do, hanker for the old 2E days when "Human" was in the monster book? How many times have you, the stalwart DM, had a random encounter with bandits or something similar and not had the stats close at hand? I know I have. Sure, there's the so-called "Quick NPC" in the DMG, but...

    Why no politics or religion?

    I'm just curious as to why politics and religion are taboo or banned subjects on this forum, and the other EN World forums too? Did something happen before I got here than warranted the ban? I can believe it has something to do with tempers running hot and emotions flaring and so on, but surely...

    Is your name unique?

    Since it refers to a specific office, I doubt anybody else would devise my name on their own. As for imposters - who'd want to impersonate me?

    D&D on less than all cylinders...

    I'm just curious if anybody here has played D&D, or some other RPG, while either drunk, stoned or otherwise impaired. If so, what humourous stories lie in your experience? I don't drink or do drugs (GEEK!) but I know folks who do, some of whom are gamers too. One friend of mine gathered...

    We are all ugly and alone...

    Just make sure you don't call out the name of someone's PC during sex.

    "It's not a question of where it grips it..."

    LOL! I have to use that! I know a player who goes on about horse types all the time. Bravo.

    Your favourite PC

    Best PC you've ever played. For me, choice of three: Raven, aka Raven the Bold (but only used by him). Raven was an Errol Flynn-like swashbuckler with more than a keen eye for the ladies - he used both eyes. He was never serious, always happy-go-lucky and always flashy - even when he didn't...

    Your Best Villain

    What's the best villain or bad guy you've ever had, either as a DM running it or a player experiencing it? Mine is either the aforementioned Temptresses, Lara and Sheena, two pretty young things who totally put one over on the PCs - one of the few times I've ever managed to get the better of...

    Humorous Villains

    I use comic villains all the time. Two examples: Serulius the Mad. Serulius, or Seru, was a PC who I took over as an NPC after the player left. Always eccentric, I portrayed his descent into borderline psychosis and finally into underpants-on-the-head madness. He used to talk over his plans...

    We are all ugly and alone...

    I think the (far too numerous) people who have turned down sex for role-playing or the like have got to take the crown here. Seriously, people - it's just a game!:confused:
