How much 'adult content' do you use in your games? Is there a place you can draw the line? Personally, I try to keep it PG rated as much as I can, but because all my players are responsible adults from time to time I up the age group a bit. Druids, for example, in my earlier campaign were for...

I like Terry Jones as the gnome and Helena Bonham Carter as the dark goddess. They really suit.

Some good suggestions. Please keep them coming. Alas, Keira Knightly, Kate Beckinsale and Wallace Shawn have already been cast in other roles. I like all the suggestions so far, however.

One of the things we do in my campaign is assign an actor to 'play' important characters. This is useful because it provides a visual or personal frame of reference for players (and me) and it's also kinda fun. However, it's not always easy. Can the panel help me out here? I'm looking for actors...

The book says it works like this: I cast the spell on you and tell you to protect me. You'll therefore attack anyone who attacks me. If I tell you to go for a walk, you'll go and keep walking until I tell you to stop, although you will eat, sleep, et cetera. If, however, I tell you to kill...

You know what? I'm really sorry I started this thread.

Come on, someone must know some. I got one to start us off: How many drow does it take to change a light bulb? You can't tell - when the light goes on they run away. Well? You do better! Please?

In my present campaign I also did an adventure based around a boatload of refugees who were trying to reach a 'safe' island, but the island's ruler refused to let them in because he and his people were bigoted about the race of the refugees and he feared unpopularity - this in a country renowned...

I know politics isn't allowed but this isn't about real-world politics but about the politics in D&D campaigns. How does it work in your campaigns? What are the power plays like, what participation do your players have, and so on? In my old campaign, the city began as a despotic republic but...

Oh, and drugs. Younger druids in my old campaign, like one of the PCs, smoked, chewed or sniffed herbs that made them relaxed and a bit out-of-it. I know any Americans might find such a reference uncomfortable, but it so works for druids to be stoners. They even said 'dude' a lot - or the PC...

My previous campaign incorporated a lot of modern things; the city was closer to modern New York than a mediaeval metropolis. For example: Every afternoon there was an afternoon sporting event very similar to soccer The city government was very American in style, with an elected chief...

OK. I admit fully I ripped this concept off, but I thought it would be a really cool hook for an adventure. In my campaign, the PCs are the crew of a ship which roams around a giant archipelago looking for trouble. They find it every session, funnily enough. In this particular session, they...

I actually think I like PurplePCEater's the best. It makes it sufficiently hard to do. The thing about my players is they tend to roll over monsters - whatever I put in their path, they squish with ease. Making it very hard to actually stake a vampire means they might actually be fighting for...

The rules sound reasonable to me. Anyone got any other ideas? And the traditional D&D way to kill vampires may be effective, but pretty dull from a dramatic point of view. Oh, and in my particular world, staking doesn't dust vampires - they just die and come back to life if you pull the stake...

We all know Vampires are killed by stakes, right? My problem is coming up with combat rules to allow players to do this. If I said to you, as my DM, "I want to stake the vampire," what rule/s would you use/make up to allow me to do it, or at least attempt it.
