    Called Shots?

    Greetings... I don’t know if I would buy into that assessment. It does seem logical, when your dealing with ‘normal’ damage and subdual damage. When your not trying to be lethal in your attacks, you then do subdual damage. However, when your making a called shot, you aren’t necessarily...

    Puzzles and Traps

    Greetings... Well, I am a big fan of Riddles and Puzzles. Huge. If I'm playing, and there aren’t at least one or two puzzles in the entire dungeon... or a dungeon-crawl... then I'm disappointed. After all, there isn’t a lot to do in a dungeon other than explore, kill things, and hopefully…...

    How do you whip a group into shape?

    Greetings... Well, first of all... congradulations on having a nice pool of players to choose from. With time, some players blossom and become great players. But unfortunately, sometimes some players just never seem to bloom. Now, isn't it the job of the DM to know the rules? More so...

    Inspirational Fantasy Movies

    Greetings... I don't necessarily get my inspiration from Fantasy movies... only because there aren't a lot of them out there to begin with. But there are a couple of things out there that you might like... Ironically enough, I was trying to think of the title for Hawk, the Slayer, and it was...

    At what character level do you prefer to start play?

    Greetings... Well, I have to ask... what do you mean by 'player preference'? You’re going to let the players choose the level in which they start play at? Are you going to take an average of the levels, if the players decide they 5th lvl, 10th lvl, 15th lvl? Now, I've always been interested...

    My Beef with Social Skills

    Greetings... Well, the way I see it is...what we got here is a failure to communicate... I believe that you are looking at the game in one perspective, and the game designers had something else completely different in mind. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the core idea you have for your...

    Why do you homebrew? or Hombrew blues

    Greetings... You know you have to write a reply when you start arguing with your monitor... I too am a world-builder. I think there is a guild of them on the 'net. I usually start with: http://hiddenway.tripod.com/world/. 1) Why do you create your own setting? But like others... it is an...

    I have a confession - I am a rat bastard DM!

    Greetings... Great character portraits... where did you find them?

    Terrainmonkey Map showcase and Request Thread

    Greetings... I love the way you draw mountains... Would you care showing/sharing the technique?

    Looking for a good mapping program.

    Greetings... Would you care to give any links or perhaps even send me a copy of these tools? Well, that link doesn't seem to work. But I was able to goto http://www.dungeon.gr to get a copy of the programme.

    Collaborative Cave!

    Greetings... I too am interested in contributing... Love the map. Well, my first question is... does the gradient shading that is used denote any type of height/depth? Does one 'step' denote 5' in height difference? Looking at the watery rooms (6, 10 and 8)... I am no expert, but unless...

    Collaborative Cave!

    Greetings... Tonguez, do you have a favourite website that details all this, or have posted a long and detailed posts about such things? One of the things I always felt was lacking was a good guide to caves, how they are formed, how big they can become...what factors create them (yeah...

    A killer puzzle that makes me want to pull my hair out.

    Greetings... Well, avoiding the whole 'Puzzles and Riddles aren't In-Character' arguement. ( I love them and think they should be in RPGs... so... Nah! :p ) But I think that this puzzle was needlessly complex, which made it complicated. 6 Doors, Clocks, Letter Tiles, 2 Books... All very...

    The Knight Thread

    Greetings... Well, what should a knight have that a fighter doesn't?

    The Knight Thread

    Greetings... Well, I don't know what the 'knight' thread was... but... Shields and stuff... that's something I can get into. Are shields effective in the game? No. Not in the least. Looking at the straight numbers, no bonuses, when we're talking about a d20 range of randomness for combat...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    Greetings... Stupidest move by a player eh? Well, if you want to have the full story, first let me paint the picture here... The game was AD&D2, heavily modified by a sadistic GM who also happened to be an engineer, who has the ability to jury-rig himself something on the level of MacGyver...

    Does Your Group Allow "Orb of Acid" As Written in Your Game

    Greetings... Well, I might be unique in my opinion here. But this is what I love about D&D. My school of thought is that magickal situations should have a sense of the fantastical. Where I like to see that there is some sort of strange remedy or situation with most magickal situations. It...

    Running a Business rules revamp

    WIWIIWMG (Well, I would, if it were my game...) Greetings... For the one character who is selling stuff on the side of the road, well...let's consider her negatives. Pettling her wears whereever she goes. No regular customer base. No stable market. I would give the person some serious...

    Running a Business rules revamp

    Greetings... Well, first of all I don't think that running a business in a medieval fantasy paradigm setting is going to be all that rewarding. If characters could make a lot of money selling things, then no one would ever be adventuring. Screw digging around a dungeon! I'm going to become a...

    What *is* it about paladins that makes people nutty, anyway?

    Why? Because of many reasons, as far as I'm concerned. Let me first start off by saying that all classes, regardless of their origin should be scrutinized. Not just the faith/behaviour-based ones. Well, to begin with, here we have the Paladin who is described as some lone champion of justice...
