    City Supplement - Your favorite?

    In my opinion, Ptolus is by far the best. Many haven't tried it because of the price but boy, do you ever get a lot for your money. Furthermore everything is so well connected with cross-referencing that I find it very easy to use. You can almost just drop the players into the city and start...

    Character Death and The Rest of the Night

    How about serve drinks? Ok, seriously I think the player should spend the time rolling up a new character or (and this is a touchy subject for some) I'd let him help the other players with advice and strategy in encounters. All of this assuming that the nature of the question forbids giving him...

    Definition of Metagaming

    I agree with Odhanan. I'm a player in his 30s with children. The other players in my group are in a similar stage of life. I don't have time to memorize or review the game outside of game time. The ooc communication is certainly metagaming but it would be allowed (perhaps even encouraged) at...

    Who's at fault?

    Thanks for your replies folks, In the end the campaign was scrapped and the group re-rolled characters. Everyone agreed (after a few nights of cooling off) that it was indeed the group's fault as a whole for 1st not creating a group that is a team and 2nd for not finding a way to correct the...

    Is this "Fair" - Part II

    My own opinion is that its fair as long as the PCs have a chance to escape after they see that its a hill giant. (or if they've been given the opportunity to find out but didn't take it such as by sending a scout). Forcing the players to fight the hill giant without an escape option would be...

    Who's at fault?

    I have a situation for you. A party consists of a thief-type rogue, a paladin and a wizard. The adventure callls for the party to find a way into the city prison located beneath the city to find a certain NPC. An NPC thief tells the PC thief about a secret passage to the prison. The PC thief...

    The Official Welcome Thread

    Hello everyone Hi everyone, I've been lurking around for about a year now and finally decided to join. I've been playing D&D and horror games for 25 years now. I'm more of a role player than a roll player but I like to try a bit of everything. Nice to meet you all. Lockridge
