    How do you scare your players?

    I basically traumatized my playing group. They even fear teddybears and rose bushes. I'm good with horrific descriptions and mood setting. :devil:

    How do you organise your Dungeon Tiles?

    I scanned and printed off the 2-page tile map from the back of the DMG. I placed them both in sleeves, and I draw on them with dry erace markers. Both sheets together can generaly make any sized room I want. I use maps for combats only, so I don't need to build an entire dungeon out of tiles...

    Dwarf Mountains: Alps or Rockies?

    If I had to put Dwarves in a mountain range, it'd have to be the Rockies. I can't look out my window without seeing them and immagining dwarves mining them for... *shrug* who knows what. Alternately, in game, I've NEVER used mountains to describe where any dwarf lived. In my little fantacy...

    They can talk, so 3 They can make complete sentances, so 4 They also seem to understand the way things work, so 5 tops

    4E DMG: No guns?!?

    You're right, there's no guns at all. But then again, things were "held back" for DMG II, III, IV, etc.

    11 Reasons Why I Prefer D&D 4E

    Mine too... and my players stop and talk about tactics every single round. WHen I sit and think about how my 3.x Combats went, I NEVER want to go back. As far as running out of encounter/daily powers... there WEREN'T any in 3.x at all, so it makes a HUGE difference especially when there's no...

    A kids' RPG with horses?

    I reccomend TOON the Cartoon RPG by SJ Games Its fast, easy and you can make it as goofy or easy going as you want, and your players can do almost anything they want.

    Changes - what is possible?

    I'm pretty easy going when it comes to what my players can and can't come up with. There was this one time though that they were sent back in time to do a quest, then wanted to buy the land that Waterdeep was going to be built on and have it set up in such a way that they'd "inherit" waterdeep...

    3e:Baseball::4e:Football

    Damn... now I want to force my players to make a bucket of characters and run D&D 4E style Blood Bowl games.

    I finally figured out what I dislike about 4E Forgotten Realms

    I'm glad I orchistrated the total and complete destruction of everything cool in FR in my last big campaign before 4E. I don't have to worry about what happened, I know... I "wrote it myself". On a side note, isn't it funny how in the FR campaign setting even Elminster doesn't like the new...

    DM's: How much cheating do you have to do?

    I cheat all the freaking time. From die rolls to NPC actions. If I want a player to feel pain... my roll is high enough to hit. If I want a pc to survive, "Oh damn, a natural 1". I don't know why I even roll dice any more. but seriously, I roll out in the open. Sometimes I tip the dice to a...

    Games that didn't survive first contact. . .

    GURPS: Yeah, I couldn't get into this one... at all, no matter how hard I tried. Maybe it was the math, maybe it was the GM, maybe its just me but I don't like this game. FUDGE: Just like GURPS, but with no rules... hooray! Toon: Tried running this one, and loved the concept, but maybe a...

    How are the new races coming along?

    My PC group consists of two Tieflings, an Eladrin, two Dragonborn and a human. My players seem to be loving the new races, and they fit right in. Sure, flavor-wise, ret-conning them in was a little lame, but when you ignore the fact that they "Just appeared from nowhere" they take their place...

    The good, bad and weird of PC names:

    Kind of like Seth, but with more of a Z sound "Zeth".
