Boarstorm, awesome post...heh. For the game I play in, the GM is allowing each player to have ONE basic crafting or whatever skill. Up until the last game, my character was the only one who was implementing her "domestic" skill through cleaning, cooking, washing, and more cleaning...which was...

If you're the DM, you set what you want...whether be it 3 magic items per player, or none at all. If they complain and you don't to flood them with magical gear, they get THREE (3) Healing Potions each...heh. Or if you really don't want to flood them with magical items for now, give the items...

I looooove miniatures...and buy tons of both pre-painted collectable mini game types and classic build and paint em up types. With the onset of GMing again, I ran into problems with the larger base sizes of the Privateer Press 30mm bases, the Clix bases, and the slightly larger than normal...

Rechan, you have the most curiously interesting circumstances. More "scenarios!" Anyhow...here's a few thoughts. For a not-so-Captain America leader type, I think the player can make a "fighter" and focus in on shield related powers and feats...okay, there aren't that many. Here's a few...

Ditto... By the rules, he can mark all of them. As a DM of a extended breath dragonborn fighter...I allow it...he takes the risk of marking multiple mobs, but he'll do it to save the party if needed...but rarely does he catch "that" many non-minion monsters gathered together in one lot. Fox

Err... My kobolds often retreat or surrender...but they can't ALWAYS run away and get more kobolds...eventually, they run out of kobold warriors within their clan (and hence wy the wyrmpriest ran off to find another clan). But more so...seriously, if every single monster AVOIDED the bigger...

Hello Kitty Island Adventure RPG vs. Advanced My Little Pony RPG... My brain is breaking while boggling over this debate.

My seven player lv2 party of uber stat characters have bashed their way through the ancient monestary ruins overrun by the vile Skrunk, leader the Skullkicker Kobolds, and his wickedly demented kobold minions. We ended as the Wyrmpriest Orag fled behind the curtains through a not-so-secret...

Ultimately though, I believe it is an issue of DM discretion. Not ALL monsters are intelligent and go for the strikers. in fact, my kobolds tend to lob all their javelins right off the bat at the big shiny thing with the big axe....and the dragonshield guys rush them for glory and honor...

The Lizard should be named....the Lizard. "Go see the Lizard, he's got something for ya!" "The Lizard's looking for you sorry lot, seems pretty pissed! " "The Lizard is pleased...." (okay, that came out wrong).

Here are some character plot ideas that you can throw out to your players to help chum their imaginations... Family Jewels Rogue (or any) - characters family heirlooms were stolen, and the rogue must track down the thieves and several family treasures. However, the thieves have sold the items...

Here's an alternative idea for a battlegrid...especially if you're into 1" squares. You can purchase an "easel" pad worth of paper pre-marked with 1" square for probably around $10 or so. Disposable, 50 sheets at a time, etc. I actually made my own grids with 1.25" (since the onset of the...

For my pally, I made an "action sheet" which uses tokens and beads to track everything. I don't suggest this for all players, but this is what I did for my particular character. Action Sheet This sheet includes all her powers including at-wills, encounters, and dailies. It also includes a...

I don't know...but I ran an encounter where the PC's boarded themselves up in grandma's house (she was possessed and became a wight...which freaked the heck out of the party. Worst so, their lightsource (sunrod) was taken outside, and the poor female pally's glow orb just managed to "fade"...

I run a group between 5-7 players right now, and anything over 5 players is starting to get a bit sticky...I feel bad when we have "town" encounters when people are trying to roleplay their characters as they bargain and haggle, or help the needy, or something or another...it just doesn't o...

Rechan...bold. Would love to hear his response!

This past weekend out party got into a big fight over this...after an encounter with sewer rat swarms, my pally dropped and was seriously wounded from the encounter. I wanted more serious healing from our cleric and was willing to wait TEN minutes (five for the cleric to rest and regain his...

Please note that 4e, especially to "new players" is going to be a very complicated matter. In an ideal setting for a one shot adventure, I would have all the pre-gen characters' powers listed...with bonus to-hit, damage, and what not (which the PHB character sheets rather poorly provide for)...

Here's some thoughts... One option is to have the PCs as the "diplomatic" envoy or escorts for a diplomat/ambassador who needs to deliver messages or negotiate trade or border disputes, etc. and/or visit various countrymen or sworn knights etc. to gain their support or swords in upcoming call...
