    Player costuming, props etc in "table top" games.

    When I was 15, we used props, garb, music, candlelight, the whole nine yards to enhance the game. Now that I'm in my 40's, I draw the line at dressing up. I like to draw maps for my game by hand and will design simple props. (I once made a leather bag containing common spell components for my...

    I quit 4e-DM after my first day.

    When I start with a new batch of players I usually give them a run down on their character creation with the following: "They must be heroic. I don’t mean that they have to be muscular with all 18 stats. What I mean is that your character needs to have something of the optimistic hero within in...

    Modules, it turns out, apparently DO sell

    I came to the Pathfinder AP party late but when I did, man I was glad I came!! I have started reading them from the very first and continue to do so. I have to say without any embellishment. I actually have fun reading them. Not playing them or adapting them, to my campaign or anything like...

    Unconfirmed: More Layoffs at WotC

    Just so I understand this, and perhaps those who worked at WoTC in the past could clarify, but when one is hired, do they have you sign a term contract? Do they advise you that this is not a permanent arrangement? With WoTC's record for laying off folks (no matter how talented, or seemingly...

    This PDF cover has to be seen...

    The art may be bad, but he's got an entire thread of posters talking about him. I did most of the artwork for Sword's Edge Publishing and never received a peep, so the artist is doing something right I guess.

    Desert Island RPG

    Okay, I'm assuming most people know how this works. You and another EnWorlder find yourselves on a desert island. You only have 5 RPG Books. Which books would they be? Also, as a bonus if you want to name the EnWorlder you would be stuck playing these games with who would that be? I'll start...

    In praise of the XP system

    I think it's a great idea. One question though. What ever happened to the Topic of the Week idea? I thought that was a pretty cool idea as well.

    How do you award XP?

    I do mine by session via e-mail to all of the players. It seems a natural way to do it.

    Electronic support: Wikis

    Obsidian Portal is where I landed for my wiki. I tried wikidot but was not impressed with the functionality. Obsidian Portal is really easy to use. Here's my site. Morvia | Obsidian Portal

    Pathfinder 1E You're the CEO of PAIZO. Now What?

    Okay, similar to the thread You're the head of WOTC. Now What? Let's try it with PAIZO. So what would you do? What changes would you make, what would you keep, and what new directions would you take the company in?

    Can we go back to smaller books?

    years ago I had an argument with my wife over the amount of money I spend on these "nerd books" as she called them. Once I broke it down in relation to other forms of entertainment she realized just how much bang for the buck I was getting she did a 180 and is know helping me write up my...

    Undead

    For me it's the Boneclaw from MM III. With it's oversized claws and surprising 20ft reach, it has mauled more than it's fair share of PCs in Morvia. Plus the art for the creature is so evocative that evil plots just pop in my head when I look at it.

    New Player out of Nowhere!

    I trust his judgement just fine. My issue is that I could have been asked rather than told, that's all. Just a courtesy thing from my point of view considering we're playing at my house and I have three kids. I like to know who's coming to dinner, if you catch my drift. Also, I just like to meet...

    New Player out of Nowhere!

    Actually we were friends before he became my supervisor and we are very solid in that regard. Not an issue.

    New Player out of Nowhere!

    I have sent an e-mail to the player and will get to discuss the game with him before we play on Saturday. I'm happy that I got a new player because they are rare where I live. I don't want to rock the boat but it is my house and I have three small kids. Now I'm pretty sure that my friend (who...

    New Player out of Nowhere!

    Okay, I have two players in my game with room for two more. Suddenly out of the blue, one of my players fires me an e-mail saying "hey one of my buddies wants to join the group, here's his character he'll be there the next game" (which is this coming Saturday). Great, I have a new player. What...

    Why is Quickdraw only usable with weapons?

    I had a player want to draw a wand using Quick Draw. Reading the feat as written it wasn't considered a weapon. I thought that was a stretch and allowed him to do it. I also reminded him that NPCS will be able to do this as well. I think that if something is similar in size and is manipulated in...

    How often do you play?

    We play twice a month, sometimes a bit more. Being a husband and father of three has slowed my gaming habits from twice per week as a bachelor.

    Where do you buy books?

    For me it's an equal mix. I order online for old out of print stuff from noble Knight Games and go to my local shop for updated. The gaming store I go to in Winnipeg is Pendragon which is exclusively a gaming store (no comics) and has a huge selection. He's a bit more expensive than online but I...
