Well, it wasn't hard for people to make assumptions, one of the most interesting questions in the survey was the last one. "What rules system would you use for psionics" And went to mention Level-based, feat and skill bases and "something completely different." .... Lord knows why they put up...

Nor after the novels. The world's magic is the biggest causualty. The scariest monsters, the Nazgul, are gone, the elves are leaving permamently and there are less wizards and trents in the world. Oh, and Hobbits are slowly growing larger and larger as perhaps to be indistiguishable from Men.

Re: Re When I mentioned the lack of "metaphysics" in DnD magic, this is what is what I was trying to say in plain English. :) As I stated earlier, there are ways to add in new rules that do give DnD vanilla some flavor as well as a give the mage PC something to actualy use for "shop talk."...

Re: Re Not trying to get OT, but for me this has been my "role-playing" complaint for DnD's magic system overall. The most "metaphysical" discussions one hears in DnD is the all of the planar stuff, mostly because over the years, that aspect of DnD magic has been built up into a mythology...

Amen. In the end of my last campaign, my PC druid got Wind Walk. Suddenly we could avoid the standard ambushes the GM offered every game. In fact, unless the NPCs were the movers and shakers, we could avoid all the henchmen we wanted to and move on to the plot of the story. That was a welcome...

"You then wake up to discover wires leading to your head as find yourself laying down on a couch. .... It was all a V.R world." The players about killed me.

The story continues still! The GM showed up at the game store and insisted that he still play. He even said that he'd play a "nice" character. Since then I found out that some of my players don't like fellow. To be fair, several months ago, this fellow asked to be in my game after his...

The GM has asked if he could temporarly enter the game as a PC who will eventually betray the group. He claims that he has seen that having a traitor in the party has been a bonding experience for the survivors. I can only see it causing more trouble. I am pretty maxed on my player count...

Well, I am not going to blame the player for his GM's actions. The player didn't know and was pretty amused when I told him, though the story continues. The GM has asked if he could temporarly enter the game as a PC who will eventually betray the group. :rolleyes: He claims that he has seen...

I recently had one "role assumption" guy do nothing but watch the game all day. We were playing Mutants and Masterminds and this guy wanted to bring in a superfied version of his old comedic cleric of luck. He seemed to be having problems with getting a handle on making a supers character. He...

Part of this may be that a GM has to keep a druid in mind when designing adventures. I had a lizardman Druid that I ran for 16 levels in a party of humans and lizardman-hating elves. We actualy all got along rpg wise. My motivation for being with the group was loyality to my war-time buddies (We...

Re: Game Killers Yep, I had a punk like this a game of mine. We were playing d20 Pulp mini-game and the kid picked a gangster. Soon after he kept trying to literaly kill everyone he met. I finally let him kill himself. After the game, he told me that he was trying to see how many people he...

Breathe deep Jdavis. Yep, sounds like a rolekender(tm) to me. And I mean that in more the "Kender as annoying as can be" sense. It sounds like your halfing PC player wasn't really playing DnD in the same vein as you guys were. Now admittedly, the motivation could be a vareity of thing from...

Call me self centered, but I choose all but the Non-Voneth answers.:D I noticed that my spoiled players have gotten grumply lately since I don't do them any more favors and they now constantly come to me for another, different request to see if I can change my mind. The player that did give me...

I have felt betrayed lately. I have two players that insist on playing the most expansive characters they can. They not only want to be the movers and shakers, they also always ask for special favors. Sometimes it's for some hook up in the game world or for a special power, or for a...

I had my own "Why am I here?" player completely kill a game. We were starting up Spycraft and I was wanting to run the psionic rules. I had a player volunteer to do so. His concept was that he was an experiment and that he had developed these powers when he was 12. He insisted on only being 17...

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but in a long standing game I played in, we didn't have a cleric. So the GM gave my druid the clerical ability to switch out any spell for a heal. Between that and some metamagic feats that gave me enhanced heal spells in my "off levels" of magic. I did...

How did you convert monsters? Download the FAZ at www.mutantsandmasterminds.com it has some guidelines. what power level were the players? I was doing PL 5 for my Farscape/Space Opera ddi you even use super powers? Yes, but supposedly for alien and psionic powers. Some suggestions...

Wolvie may have something to say about someone stealing his skeleton. :) Devices in MnM are things that can be theoreticaly stolen, damaged, etc. If they can't be touched, then it technicaly is not a device, even if it has a mechanical componet. For example, while a player may pay more points...

Wow! that is a LOT of support! Almost like they are releasing a new whole game. Does anyone have proposed product schedule? It seems that S&S is going full bore with this.
