In the all Kobolds game I played in, the group named themselves the Tribe of the Bloody Gnome Skull. It was often shortened to The Gnome Skulls. It was all quite silly. The Undermountain group I ran eventually came to be called Murphy's Marauders after the first of them to reach name level, and...

Say you're sorry. Budget the luxuries first, the necessities have a way of taking care of themselves. Wounds heal. Chicks dig scars. But Glory lasts forever.

While I haven't played a paladin, a player for whom I was GMing did. And through repeated naughtiness, with a warning each time, his paladin fell from grace. He was a paladin of Osiris and during the course of a module looted a shrine dedicated to his own god, and drew power from an artifact...

I want the impossible. Something well playtested and edited. ( Sorry, just had bad experiences with their products... )

I've allowed fairly free-reign in using Permanency on other spells. Only two players every did so, mostly due to the fears of dispel stripping them of their spent exp. The other thing to note is that if the character dies and needs to have their body reformed by either Resurrection or True...

My game groups have varied from between 0% to 60% female. Also varied between 0% and 66% gay at times. Anecdotal preferences: The female gamers have either prefered Vampire type games, or D&D, and depending on the person either been the most RP heavy, and the most bloodthirsty players. Also...

With 9th-11th level characters, odds are good the entire swamp will be bypassed in a matter of hours. Find the Path, Commune, Commune with Nature, some Overland Flight or Teleport to get there. If you're fortunate, the PCs will actually interact with the denizens of the swamp to extract...

Considering my current homebrew consists of a theme statement, a list of deities, and a page of names and titles, it is far, far from publishable. It'll get more detailed as things go, but its not meant to be a whole truely unique world. It is more of local setting on an obvious real world...

Rats in rl will attack cats anyway, I don't see how an illusion of them will deter them any...

But what if it is a Globe of Nigh-Invulnerability? Verbal component: SPOOOOOOOOOON!

There's no rule that says you cannot plane shift or gate out of an extradimensional space. The 'lost forever' text generally applies to items in the bag being lost to those outside the bag. How often can you find 20 specific +1 swords in the astral plane after they're scattered due to a pierced...

I used to have a problem keeping things from being too cluttered. I'd just keep cleaning and cleaning every day, but it never got any better. Then I got rid of all my roommates and the problem cleared up. Could be because my 2 year old keeps her stuff cleaner than they did...

Often players, like small children, don't know how to formulate the words to tell you what they want. ;-) I recommend a multiple-choice questionaire, depending on how much detail you want from them. Something like this: 1) [ ] Medevial (sp) [ ] Ancient Greek [ ] Vedic India [ ] Ancient...

DM, GM, Storyteller, Keeper of Arcane Knowledge, Director, GOD, whatever. I prefer GM for normal usage.

Not really. The Charisma 20 guy will probably take credit for everything the charisma 6 guy did, and get promoted, rewarded, etc even if he didn't actually do anything, but can make it look like he did. The Charisma 6 guy will keep slogging away in the trenches until there is no one with a...

Combats are apallingly slow, my high-level Hero campaigns have faster combats. The array of immunities feels like playing Rock-Paper-Scissors, except you have 12 options, only one of which will help for this fight. Don't let a cleric take Ignore Material Components unless you want their death to...

Speaking of D&D only, it depends on the culture of the character. A character from a small town often has no surname, and only take an appelation when confusion would otherwise result. i.e. Igar Longshanks, for the long-legged Igar, as opposed to Igar Ironsides who generally goes about in a...

There are no good horror RPGs, just good horror GMs.

When the PCs can be back on their feet even before combat is over thanks to revenence, and then gets a true ressurection by the 26th level material component ignoring cleric when combat is over, that's about the only challenge they get. And allow me to say that now that this game is over, I'm...
