There is a point where the victor has to stop pushing the assault lest they wish to no longer remain the victor. Players in such a camapign have to plan recovery periods as part of a winning strategy so bases and allies become something for the players (and the DM) to foster and this just might...

It isn't cheating but having a 20th level character that started adventuring at 10th level just isn't the same thing as having a 20th level character that started out at 1st level. In my current campaing we have PCs adventuring together of levels 3-12 the higher level charcter do tend to rule...

I've played plenty of RPGs with no healing magic at all and they worked fine. Players have to learn to have characters act like they don't want to die. The value of scouting and divination is increased, well actually it isn't: folks just have to realize they have to pay more attention to...

There is nothing to this at all. Ebberon does not even vaguely resemble Tekumel.

Yes you are misunderstanding me. If a person effectively earns $20.00 an hour for writing then it effectively costs that person $20.00 for every hour they aren't writting but are instead mopping up the bathroom, vacuuming the floor, getting paper, running down to the post...

Those all cost you as much as you could make if you were producing materials for someone that was willing to pay you to do so.

I've spent a lot of time in swamps hunting and fishing and the general difficulty at getting around is the biggest issue one has to deal with. You can't trust the ground you are standing on in lots of swamps. It may be a bog carptet or plant growth a 150 pound man with 20 pounds of gear can...

I couldn't possibly recall all the PCs i've played over the years andI usually DM. Straight from memory i can only think of a handfull by name: Braddoc Baidin (Human fighter who went on to become an emperor before his death by an asassin). Arfrand ( a rather unremarkable elf with all mediocre...

I f you don't want to roll dozens and dozens of hit rolls treat the rock throwing mob like a swarm. Have it do a 1d6 nonlethal and 1d4 normal damage evey round unless a reflex save is made (D15) successful save cause folks to only suffer half a die of nonlethal damage. Lots of players are...

Any greater diety can hit AC 125 every time it just isn't too likely it is ever going to score a critical hit. They always roll a 20. A rol of 20 always hits.

It all happened when someone decided D&D halflings should all be Kender with the serial numbers filed off instead of Hobbits with the serial numbers filed off.

If players want to bring a friend over they just give me a heads up and I'm coll with that. I do screen folks via email if we get in contact them on the net with a few emails, so far no one has made it through that process. Mostly what I try to block out is creeps and wierdos. Usually they...

Hi I'm J.D. Jarvis I've been a gamer for 27 or 28 years now some of the things on my computer desk right now are: an antique Brass lamp sitting on a copy of "The Age of Faith" by Will Durant, warcraft 2 and Myth the total Codex sittign in the box for the SIM-Mania for kids collection, a brownie...

Sacrifice pizza, soft drinks and crunchie cheese snacks unto the DM. It could work but personal tastes vary, for me best results would be gotten with chinsese food, stuffed peppers and beer but the pizza soft drinks and crunchie cheese snacks is probably a safer place to start. more serious...

for i,ages of axe sheaths go check out google at the image data base. there are real functional axe sheaths and ornimental ones aplenty. http://images.google.com/images?q=axe+sheath A two handed sword sheath looks like a sword sheath, its job is to protect the blade. That back slung crap you...

Hackmaster is a playable RPG and a work of Comedy Genius. The GMG had me laughing like a mad man in seconds. Every page is dripping with Satire but it still nonethless indeed a fun and playable game. It is the real life version of the game played by a bunch of dysfunctinal cartoon RPGers that...

read the PHB, under Effect and Duration of Turning it says- Tunred undead flee from you by the best and fastest means available to them. Vampires can turn to bats and fly away, or turn into mist and flee through routes lots of PCs can't easily follow. There is no reason to nerf turning just...

$10.00 these days would have been less the $4.50 in the very late seventies/very early eighties. Pick a current book do the math, then see what it would have cost in the good old days. currrent dollars * 0.44 = good old days dollars

Seems like a damn good idea to me. A heavily themed basic set or game guide (all the rules that hit the theme in one hardcover) a year supported by half a dozen modules and web support for a year or two afterwards might be a great idea. They'd have to be written for newbies or casual gamers...
