I second using Age of Worms. AoW was probably the best published campaign I've ever run.

I've only ever had one female DM and that was at a con in the early 90's. But it doesn't matter to me so long as they run a good game.

As a DM I feel that some restrictions are nessecary. The DM has to be happy with the game not just the players. Thankfully my players are happy to play and enjoy a game whether I impose anything or not. Most of the time I block aspects such as race and prestige classes because they don't fit...

If D&D didn't exist then I doubt I would be a gamer now as it was hearing about D&D many years before I ever found the game that got me into it.

Pathfinder, and quite happy, thank you.

Since you no longer lose XP for things like making magic items or high level spells I know just let the group level when I feel it is relevant and suitable, usually every 4 or 5 sessions. I like levels to last a while and a slower advancement.

I'm not trying to tell you how to play your game. It is just that in my 25 years of GMing I have never known players to like this style of play. That includes the various players I have had or players I have joined when travelling and meeting new folks. If your players like it, and by sounds of...

My books either go on shelves or in those cheap plastic storage cases.

The only problem I really see here is the old arrest/capture/detain the PC idea. This never works. Players will never allow an NPC to capture them and give up their freedom, even if they know that things will probably work out fine. Players just cannot let go of that control. It's why the...

Sweet! I look forward to it. :)

Interesting. Thanks. I'm pondering picking it up even if it's just for the collection.

Exactly. One of my favourite Lovecraft quotes covers this quite nicely. There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we listen and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember...

Thank you. I'm guessing we were just tired at the end of the evening and being dull with a situation that we haven't encountered before. At least we got that resolved. Thanks for your help.

It is late here and I admit I am a little tired but I'm missing something. Fighting in no armour his AC will be 9 because the penalty is applied there. Flat footed at the start of the combat his AC would be 10 as he doesn't take the penalty. Going by the rulebook pages 178 and 179, flatfooted...

Yes, we did read that. The issue we were discussing comes from that, because it means that his FF AC is higher than his normal non-FF AC and that seemed wrong.

A question has come up at tonights game. A character has a dex of 9 and thus a -1 modifier. His normal AC without armour is thus 9. His touch is also 9 bit how does this ability affect his flat footed AC? Is the penalty ignored thus making his FF higher than his normal AC? This seems odd and we...

Personally I prefer the randomness that comes from dice roll methods. I hate the whole everyone must be equal point buy methods. We always do the 4D6-lowest method but a couple years ago when I ran the Shackled City AP I let each player roller 4D6-lowest three times (A, B and C) and they could...

Anyone have this source book and what did you think of it? I've put an order in with my local store for it but I'm curious what others opinions.

If it's system neutral then I might look into picking this up pending which era of the setting it is set in. I wish we would get more system neutral campaign settings.

Somewhere I still have the D&D comic that has them grown up in the Realms.
