    Steampunk Airship Chase/Raid/Pirate help

    I ran a game with an "Out of control airship" challenge that we pretty well. What's there is not exactly what I ended up using (the thread was about getting feedback) but you will get the idea (if you are interested). Also, here's some Airship inspiration from my site (posted works/links from...

    Weem’s DM Tips for RP Prompting and Immersion

    I have actually done that in my campaigns as a transition from one tier to another. From a post I made 1 year and 11 days ago (oddly enough)... The campaign I currently run, we have played 17 sessions... after the 18th (next weekend) the group will likely be splitting to get a number of...

    What are the basic building blocks of your games?

    Using my current campaign as an example... I wanted this campaign to... 1) ...be cinematic. I wanted to capture the player's imaginations not only with regards to the action, but locations and NPC's as well. I wanted to "show" more than I "tell". 2) ...be about the PC's. That seems pretty...

    Tactical RPG

    Since you recommended it, and the OP may(?) wonder as well... ...where is a good place to start with GURPS? (aka, you mind dropping some links to specific books, etc?) I have never played GURPS *ducks* but have been meaning to rectify that ;)

    Tactical RPG

    Liking that element is cool (I enjoy it)* but if it's the ONLY bit they enjoy of a game that is about much more than that then, well, that is indeed unfortunate. I assume this is just a "short term alternative" because DS is coming soon. But I'm curious... it's still 4e... will you not face the...

    Tactical RPG

    Ahh, when I saw Tactical RPG I immediately (for some reason) was thinking of a PC game, in which case... ...someone make an FF Tactics-style game using 4e rules please/thx. So yea, sorry - I don't have any suggestions myself :( I never tried the D&D Minis game so I can't really 'recommend'...

    Player Punches - what NPC losses have you felt the most?

    My players got to know a man named "Goris" who was a nice guy, complemented them, gave them info and supplies, etc. A very charismatic guy they liked a lot... ...he also happened to lead a group of bandits etc. A well organized and disciplined group, but generally doing 'bad' things. The...

    I Have the Best Players in the World

    Mine are as well. Of course, I had to make it that way... In my area (within a few miles or so) I have 12 friends or so who play D&D. Three of us run our own campaigns with various combinations of people from this pool of 13 or so (when counting me). When 4e came out, it got all of us back...

    When a DM Starts the Campaign off on the Wrong Foot

    ...and if you missed it all those other times... I agree, it's time to hit the reset button. Your enjoyment of the game is every bit as important as that of the players. Besides, if you aren't enjoying the game, the chances are you are not running an enjoyable game anyway.

    Campaigns that actually end... eventually

    Ditto (except replace 25+ with 22-ish). Fortunately for me, almost all the campaigns I have played in ran their course to the end. I can think of two in all that time that did not finish.

    I really love EN World.

    /agree I expressed a similar sentiment recently ;) This community knows the game(s) better than any other I have been (and am still) a part of, and they have a deep connection and love for it as well. Things can get heated here, but rarely out of hand - and that just demonstrates the passion...

    Providing Meaningful Choices?

    I assume this is because presumably down there (in the Underdark for example) it can feel like you should be killing anything that moves. My take is that in most places there exists elements of evil and elements of good and or neutral beings (there are some exceptions of course) - it may be...

    How do you read your players interest during a game session

    It's the body language I notice. Sitting up straight, leaning in etc. Like Proto, I was talking about this with someone recently and I said, "When my players are leaning forward with their mouths hanging open while I talk? I have their attention for sure". So yea... - Sitting up - Leaning...
