Look at Basic Fantasy Roleplay aside from it being free, the rules light system is everything I wanted. As for the characters, the custom aspects rely on THE PLAYER and THE PLAYER'S IMAGINATION I think if your group is looking for customization AND a rule light system they might be a...

The Kobolds can be talked out of the fight, so there is a roleplay encounter but I agree, it does seem like a bit much perhaps a cliffhanger approach where the PCs (being sent to only get to the door at the least) are cut off at there, by (of course) the villain, who I have played well in...

Whenever I narrate what happens to a character, foe, monster or in game, I focus on the main points. in 4e "the Wizard Jim Darkmagic throws yet another fireball, blasting away at the hamburger Minotaur zombies" in pre-4e "the Wizard Jim Darkmagic throws his last remaining fireball...

room 3 dead ends, room 4 leads on. and as for them knowing death is out there, I will tell them, but I have a feeling it won't matter when they die.

for 2 hours of play, an 8 room dungeon (6 actual encounters) with 1 out of dungeon wilderness encounter and the actual role play hook (talking to the older dwarf) Room 1 is a cave entrance where they are attacked by (what else) Kobolds. Room 2 is a split, one corridor to the left, one to the...

I guess you could say I have a secret island hideout....it is just, you know, haunted and covered with fiendish animals, no biggy or anything and the multiple ships could work, but I had found a ship large enough, and the contacts, that is a great idea, thank you for that. Eventually I will...

When I attract followers (as my character) I do as their own freewill. Thus they should be aware that they need to work for their own food and shelter (or in this case pirate and get supplies) and that I, as captain, am not responsible for each of them, while they are part of my crew and I will...

So I have a 12th level Swashbuckler with an 18 charisma. I took leadership. I have a dragonmark (but not just any dragonmark, a super cool one I got for free) and I braved the island of a pirate lord (a legendary pirate lord nonetheless) So it was agreed my score was 19 this would mean I can...

Y but use the magazines to create a funeral pyre for the fallen.

I search him! Perception check: 19

It was never funny in the first place....

The argument that 4e has "WoW-like powers" is not how they work, but rather the fact they are there It actually started in (I want to say) Tome of Battle, as well as Magic of Incarnum, it all had a '4e-like-power usage stuffs' When it is compared to WoW it is the concept of the "time based"...

I don't mean the DM/GM having a character in the game, but rather playing WITH the players, like today I was sitting around and did a short little rifts game where the players (In arizona) decided 'lets go looking for the arizona iced tea factory' and so they did...I did not make an adventure or...

Problem? You did nothing wrong. They did nothing wrong. Sometimes things just happen and it isn't fun. I would have had the Dromites stop to take a pee break, 'find' the pcs and yell (in combat if you have too) "Stop! we're here to help! <insert help point here>!" and as for the spirit of...

I think it's best if I say that these are for starting players, for people who have never played D&D So orcs and goblins and ogres would be something they know, I have to keep them in the adventure. Stirge are always fun, giant rats can be scary (as can giant spiders) Skeletons and zombies...

It was a bad example, and sure it adds flavor and all, but no one in the group would want a flying broom, I know my players, theyd just sell it. Something else I tend to be against is the large magic market, makes finding things kind of unfun, at least IMO

What are some of the 1st level iconic monsters?

Fudging dice is...for me...not really a problem, the few times I do it are not to hurt or aid the party but because i didn't like the random treasure we got or it made no sense for it to be there (Why is there a flying broom in the sunken temple?) I do; however, do it out of combat, but more or...

You raise your war hammer high into the air, and with all your might you send it crashing down on the head of the fallen dragon, blood and bone shatter and crack as the beast is felled, the final strike crushes the last of it's life from it and the treasure is yours.....or is it? As you recover...

I just pulled a number out of my bag of holding. But you'd think that it would be akin to a bull rush (at least ten feet) and the damage is based on 'how fast' (running x3 or x4 normal movement?) id say x3 would be d4s since its less over all speed but for x4 id have to say a d6 of course...
