It depends. When the characters were crossing the rope bridge to get into the Forge of Fury and the druid lost his balance, I gave him an extra reflex save to catch the rope. It seemed a pointless way to lose a character. However, when the PC's were attacking an ancient temple trying to stop...

Be careful. Let's not confuse the Funky Bunch with the Backstreet Boys. Mark was never much of a singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eSN8Cwit_s&ob=av3e

:erm:

Like Crothian said, talk to them. I had the same concerns with my group. We had all played together under a different DM and felt we had too many choices. We could go in absolutely any direction, pursue any shiny object, and take on any challenge. But we were paralyzed by indecision because we...

A fully armed and operational battle station.

ahem Ok, you've had enough of a break. It's time to get back to entertaining me. Thank you.

It's larger than simply a game issue, it's a social issue. Any time members of a larger group of friends start dating, it has the potential to affect the dynamics of the group. The other members will therefore be sensitive to it. I think the advice to have a trusted member of the group key an...

<Must spread some XP around> Definitely this. I grin and fake-roll all the time. My players sometimes joke that I'm only rolling for show, but they're wrong about that more often than not. When they ask specific questions about some situation, I try not to answer their questions. Instead, I...

We play 3.5 D&D and the PCs level "roughly whenever I feel like it." Before I started DMing for the group I created an elaborate Excel spreadsheet to track and allocate XP. While setting up the spreadsheet was fun (I'm an Accountant!!!), I quickly learned that tracking XP was not fun at all...

The one my players currently hate the most is a 2,000 year old Ghost cleric. The cool thing about ghosts is that they just don't stay dead! They first met him in a temple and after a tough fight, killed him (they thought). Months later, he used his Malevolence ability to take over a friendly...

I'm not saying anything about the Warlock as a class. I haven't played it enough to know how powerful it is compared to other classes. All I'm saying is keep the third player in the discussions so he/she won't get left out or feel that their PC is now underpowered. It has nothing to do with...

Hopefully, you're already doing this, but keep the Warlock's player involved in the conversations. The last thing you need is for the Druid's and Ranger's players to be happy then have the Warlock's player feeling left behind. You're balancing all three characters in the party, not just two.

I've plugged this before, and I know many others use it, but I love Dave's Mapper. davesmapper.com Randomly generate maps instantly. I use it when I want to find a map that matches some vague idea I have. Or I'll regenerate maps until I find one I think looks interesting, and then build an...

I'm neutral. There's still too much we don't know. How modular is modular? What are they trying to mimic from previous editions, and how will those aspects work alongside the aspects mimicked from other editions. And to be honest, WOTC has been long on promise and short on delivery lately. I...

I agree, I loved Williams' score. I'm thinking more the band in Jabba's palace and the Ewok celebration music at the end of Jedi. Sorry for the confusion.

Yay. :erm: We'll get: * bigger explosions * worse music * tons of background NPCs magically added in to every scene * every scene/detail that was edited out of previously released material will be added back in "because we can" * forced, unnatural, hamfisted love scene dialog will be added...

Right. It does illustrate the differences, IMO, of some of the WOTC writers of the time. Some of the books are great mindless fun, while others made me yearn for the good old days of reading Accounting textbooks.

This whole collection is sitting on my shelf begging to be re-read. Some were ok, some... less so. IIRC Savage Caves was one of the better ones and set up characterizations that were further explored in some of the later books. What did you think of it?
