Who said magic items would be randomly handed out? MOst DM's I know usually place cool magic items with other items that the party may need later on. And not all worlds have magic shops on the corner where items can be sold and bought. Wizards and clerics have tons of other things to do then...

That has never been a problem. I've been the store DM at the FLGS for a couple of years, and been offered the same job elsewhere. I had 3 games going with an average of 10 players a game for over a year before I had work conflicts that forced me to end the campaigns. I find that players for...

I like the Kim Mohan age, and before that. I stopped getting it right when Roger Moore started as editor, but his stuff was always top notch. No offense to anyone, but to me Dragon is useless now. I buy an issue every so often and it just doesn't stand up to the old days. I used to sit and read...

I want to run a DnD tournament/gaming event at the FLGS in Towson, Maryland. Anyone have any experience they can share with me on what I can come up with? I want to run a fun event and try and bring our gaming community closer so that we can learn from one another. Keith

true I should have made a backstory as to why they had no items. I prefer a low magic world because it makes having magic items more wonderous. That being said, only the greatest of heroes have magic items. I don't like the magic shop on the corner and everyone has a +5 Vorpal. That doesn't mean...

I had a feel for what they wanted. I don't know about asking for a specific list...if I didn't deliver it would be like Santa not bringing a Red Ryder BB gun.

Just a note.... I was not limiting the players in their magic, just delaying a session or two in giving things out. I wanted to see their power levels so I could gauge what I could give them without becoming overpowering. No one wants to be the fighter with a +1 sword when the other fighter has...

From a recent experience of mine, I was very surprised to see from several players dismay that I would not give them the so-called appropriate level of magic items/gold piece value (whatever that chart says) for 10th level characters. I did not give them the option to purchase what items they...

May I ask why you are so keyed up on being able to level up quickly? You never replied to my statements about why I slowed down advancement. Is leveling up quickly that important to you? Do you feel that your character is not a good one even without magic items? Why is it important for you to be...

No offense, , don't take this as an attack or a start of a flamewar, but IMHO you are very inexperienced at role playing and gaming in general. I think his reaction was harsh. I think yours was somewhat appropriate. But having gamed three sessions with you, I suggest you find another good game...

So you don't believe a DM should control what magic items the party has access to? Which is what I presume you are referring to when you say I am a control freak lol. I let them choose in the game what path they get to take. If anything, I wish they would roam around and talk to more people. I...

I thought before I posted if I was being insecure....I guess the issue is more to teach the original poster to think before acting, and that maybe I and my group were not the problem.

Naw, just the paladin and monk, and the monk was giving up his few magic items anyway. You are right, Say La V.

You almost hit the point of the posts right on the head. If you didn't fit in, and didn't have fun, move on. Don't go on a board and slur the game and the people. Cause it will come back and bite you.

Offering other players a spot in another game is fine. I took that post as saying, this game sucks, lets leave it for another game. That is rude. Giving a choice of games is fine. Disrespecting someone is entirely different. Put it this way, if you were dating someone, how would you feel if...

What would you value more, a sword that a DM gave you, or one you earned through a mighty fight with some watertrolls? What makes for a better story? The players only went through 1 session before I started handing out the magic items. I needed to see what the power levels were and what they...

I totally agree. I just couldn't come up with a nice way to let him know what was wrong. I don't think he has a thick enough skin to be able to handle the truth.

I know. We were all trying to figure a way to tell him how bad he is, and what his problems were, without being mean about it. I am not perfect, and I feel my biggest fault is I am too nice to people. At the same time someone ages ago on ww1 sim board say I always said things as I saw them....I...

I just saw this post. I suggest thinking before you post. It is against gaming etiquette to steal players from a game just because you disagree with the other players and the DM and are not having fun.

Not joking. I just decided to be immature and childish.
