Hmm... I don't remember ever seeing an entry for that monster. Must be a pretty vile and evil thing. ;) Ahh, yes... I've heard people call it a Tar-task-que

Greetings... Can a satisfying adventure be designed where one doesn't require there to be a climatic confrontation? Well, I guess you could. But I don't see the point. The key to any good story is that there is an arc. An introduction, some character and/or story development, the...

Greetings... I scored: You scored as Storyteller. The Storyteller is in it for the plot: the sense of mystery and the fun of participating in a narrative that has the satisfying arc of a good book or movie. He enjoys interacting with well-defined NPCs, even preferring antagonists who have...

It's amazing you have time to read anything other than all the posts on here, and reply to a lot of them.

Greetings... Well, there are a few ways to view his... 1) You can assume that the DM made some mistake. -- Which I seriously doubt; it sounds like the entire thing was above board. Perhaps too few listen rolls were involved. But still, no use crying over spilt blood now. 2) Your NPC got...

Greetings... Stole your lucky charms?!? Yellow-Grubs, Pink-Slugs, Green-Maggots!? They're magicaly disgusting! I know I don't. Hussar put it more elegantly than I ever did. I totally agree with what he said. I personally don't have a need to classify a party-member NPC, because if the DM...

Greetings... The prounciation thread about Saghuagin made me wonder... Who else here had been misprouncing the name of a monster in some game or another? Mine was 'Chimera'. Which I was prounoucing shim-er-ra instead of kai-mer-ah. ... I know they are others that I had heard other people...

Thanks for clarifying that for me... That's what I get for not proof-reading my own stuff. But hey, I'm trying to write this stuff while I'm doing my job. Your analogy reminds me of a set of books I used to read as a kid. Doc Savage. All of his friends were the best at everything... Ham...

Greetings... I wouldn't say that. I thought I was being quite clear (if not verbose) on my defination of a DMPC. I clearly feel that a DMPC is a pejorative and negative term, and should have every such connotations attached to it. Why? Because in my experience, it's a DM who's trying to...

Greetings... Well, evidently from your experience you had more experience with what I would consider to be an NPC than a DMPC. I think it goes without saying that any DM who plays a DMPC is a bad DM. But, here’s a few questions to determine if your dealing with an NPC or a DMPC… Does the...

Greetings... Well, if there is a serious lack of treasure, then that is something that is probably affects the mobs as well. After all, if it’s not a problem for your opponents. Then you have to ask yourself...and ultimately the DM: Where are they getting the money? -- Why can’t we just kill...

Greetings… See what happens when you don't pay attention in math class? "Oh no! What the heck will I ever need this silly stuff for? I'll never have to use this stuff when I go out into the real world!"[i] 5' square room Well, first you have to ask yourself, [i]'How high is the room?' Let's...

Personally, I don’t see what the problem is. Up until a year ago, I never even heard about Eve-Online. Only when I was talking about what I felt was lacking in a true-immersive MMoRPG at a gaming convention did anyone tell me the game; and I thought I knew about every MMoRPG that was out...

But isn't that the point? Do you want to live somewhere where your protection is dependant upon a number of wandering adventurers who hopefully will be in town to be able to called upon to solve any of your policing/protection problems? "Hey Flexor, it's a good thing we have all this money in...

Greetings... Well, let me quote you something from my game... Sorry about the formatting, It looks like I can't use a table here. But let me tell you why I came to this rational. It was totally based on the numbers. At tenth level a character is pretty much a capable person. You want...

Greetings… So, does anyone here who records their sessions bother to post them on http://www.rpgmp3.com? I too have dabbled with recording gaming sessions. I’ve met with limited success. I used a generic MP3 player that has a record feature. It works ‘okay’ when it’s place in the middle...

Greetings… Starting off a party is always difficult. Especially when you have jaded players who are familiar with the old stand-by “You are all in a tavern one day…” or “You see ‘help wanted’ notices pinned up to…” I do love that idea of having the players match their background to...

Greetings… Well, here’s the thing. Regardless of what setting you borrow from, or outright use verbatim. Once you put your fingerprints all over a setting it’s going to become uniquely yours. Now, I would definitely recommend Ars Magica, Harn and A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe as...

Greetings… Well, this all depends on a few things. Most importantly, how much work are you planning on putting into this? Are the religious components of your game/world that important that you need to completely flesh them out in your world? Are your players going to really care if you flesh...

Greetings… Well, you could use CharMap, if you know that whatever forum your going to use is going to accept that character. But I like to use Alt key, as in: Alt-164. Hold down your alt key and type 164 in the keypad. See? ñ. I also use 130 : é, 145 : æ, and 160 : á often enough as well...
