    A problem with Adventure Paths/Campaign Sagas/etc...

    Greetings... Why is it 12? Have you ever asked why we keep using base-6 and base-12? A Dozen donuts? A dozen bagels? It's the Anunnaki! Evidently Ranger Wickett here has been influenced by the Anunnaki! :p

    Do only DMs like rules lite systems?

    Greetings... Rules-Lite systems would be fine, if someone came up with a great system to encompass pretty much every gaming situation. Problem is, there isn't one. The real world is complicated and messy and there aren't any good simple rules to define everything. Players tend to believe...

    Houserules - Yay or Nay?

    Greetings... Houserules aren't what make the game yours. The moment you open your mouth and say something to your players in-game is what makes the game yours. Houserules just show that you don't agree with the standard rules, and you think you can do things better, or they just haven't...

    Where have all the heroes gone?

    Greetings… Actually, it does. In my games, my nobles are better than you, and if you don’t give them the respect they deserve, then you’re going to be taught to respect them. I don’t know where people got this idea that every man is equal. After all, you are playing a class-based game, in a...

    Where have all the heroes gone?

    Greetings... A character's background doesn't not an interesting character make. Your character is only as boring as you choose to make it. If this fellow thinks that his character concept hasn’t been done a million times over, he’s sorely mistaken. Oh look! Another ‘I’m going to backstab...

    Clueless DM

    A lot can be said about newbie players... and that everyone makes mistakes the first time out... but I'm still going to rant here... I so strongly disagree. I agree that the problems stem from the players, but the GM allowed this mess. The GM didn't encourage the players to work as a team, nor...

    Kobold Small-unit tactics

    Well, if your living in a city, and soon enough a black dragon and his minions take up residence. What's to keep you living there? I'm sure at the beginning some people resisted. But even if your a coward, what's to keep you from slipping out in the middle of the night with your family and...

    Kobold Small-unit tactics

    Well, look at it logically. They aren't waiting and preparing for a band of humanoids to invade their their territory... especially if they are the caretakers to a black dragon... but let's forget the dragon for a moment... They have to prepare or the encrouchment on their territory by other...

    Kobold Small-unit tactics

    Greetings... Well, that's good... for a start. We are talking about kobolds here. Now, what advantages do they have? Well, they are a small. So, if they control/patrol the region... especially for a significant amount of time. This is what I think they would be doing... Traps -- The...

    Is Originality important ?

    Greetings... I don't think I've ever had players say to me, "Hey! That's from..." But then again, I never try to make it obvious where I'm stealing from... "Lucas I am your father..." (Hmm... Luke...Lucas... makes you kinda wonder.) I usually borrow from such obscure sources, and...

    Have you given your kids fantasy names?

    Greetings... Well, keeping with the theme... My friend named his twins Damien and Michael. I think his third son was named Simon. But he moved away before the third was born. I went to school with a girl named Mary, and her brother Noel. Their last name was Christmas. As for my...

    How do you have a mentor travel with a group of PC's and NOT steal their spotlight?

    Greetings... Well, that's the trick eh? Question is, why is a high level... mentor doing with a bunch of low-level peons? Why does he want to explore this cave? Why isn't he exploring it on his own? Why does he need the party? Probably the easiest way is to make that person a 'sage'...

    First time running a high-powered campaign...

    Greetings... Well, running high-level campaigns can be difficult. I think you've got the first problem solved... Unless you know the players well, and can trust them, never start the party off at high level. No high-level party is the same as any other, because you can't really be high-level...
