    What's your favorite RPG that you've never actually played?

    Promethean: The Created The reversal of the traditional White Wolf formula of "human (or, seemingly human) becomes a supernatural creature" into "supernatural creature trying to become human" really fired up my imagination.

    Thanks for everyone's interest. We have all our slots filled in our group and the DM is reluctant to add additional players. Those of you who have already replied, I am sending you PMs so you can contact the DM and get on our reserve/replacement players list.

    GMs: how do you keep track of big story arcs?

    I keep all my planning up in my noggin. Information that has been revealed to my players goes into my notes. I rp most of my npcs entirely off the cuff, using only general guidelines as to the motivations and information possessed by a particular npc. Most of the information about the plot...

    Chumming the dungeon

    Yeah, I had a group of players who had that brilliant idea. They found a goblin cave complex with 2 entrances. They created a cave-in to close one entrance, then waited at the other for them to come out. First a scouting party emerged, which was killed except for one goblin, which they...

    DMing: from fun to work

    I only becomes work when my players don't give a damn about the story and only want a series of fights. Or when the players start making "decisions" that make no sense. "That carnie was running a rigged game. I saw him cheating. That is why I leaped into the booth and killed him in plain...

    New status effects?

    I like it. However, when using a healing surge, I'd make the additional 1d6 as temporary hp. Once the fight is over and the buzz wears off, you're gonna feel the full brunt of the damage you've taken.

    Favorite uses of Readied Actions

    One of my players did something similar with Bull Charge last session. The ranger was ahead scouting when the encounter began. It would have taken the fighter a double move to get in front of the ranger. If he didn't, the ranger was going to get flanked by a couple skirmishers. Instead of...

    Deck of Many... Capricious Gods?

    A slightly alternate idea: If the setting you are using has an overabundance of gods (like the previous incarnations of the Forgotten Realms)) you might want to put only one card from each god in the deck. By default, all the cards are favor. However, use the "mechanic" from tarot cards where...

    How to build an indepth character

    Too true. Your players need to know that the effort they put into their character's background will be worth it in fun. It isn't fun if everything they provide is used against them. Be sure to make use of some background elements clear boons to the player in addition to the ones that exist...

    How often do you provoke AOO/OAs as a DM?

    Brutes do it all the time. Mindless undead/constructs do it all the time. Soldier do it occasionally. Most others do it very rarely. Solo soldiers do it to display arrogance early in battle.
