    Passing Time Between Campaigns

    I've created my own campaign setting (world map, etc) recently that the players have been playing on since level 1 (now level 8). My last campaign ended with the players having to make a choice to either "leave this world and begin anew" or to stay and face their ultimate enemy, but with the...

    Weem's "Grade your DM-skills" Challenge...

    I thought I would bring this topic back to attention as I have been talking recently about improvisation and various DM skills. I would love to see more people rate their DM-ing skills. So, what are you waiting for? From my OP: Try and choose one (at least) aspect of your DM-ing...

    Providing Meaningful Choices?

    Choices need to gain the PC's something AND cost them something. If the choice is only "gain", is it really a choice? Of course they will take it. And if it is only a "loss", they will avoid it. If the choices have neither, and they are simply cosmetic, then there is no reason for them not to...

    D&D Comic creators announced!

    Yes, ditto. In fact, I have never really been into comics in general (not sure why either), but I might have to check these out ;)

    Rodney Thompson (wotc) now a "Designer"

    From his twitter account a few minutes ago... I'm not sure this was not already known and he is just mentioning it - but I just saw it and thought it was interesting.

    Weem’s DM Tips for RP Prompting and Immersion

    That's a good observation - I had never really thought too much about this. I think my immediate assumption was simply that some are more comfortable with the spotlight than others, but there could be more to it than that - as you mentioned. I would imagine that a good conversation before a...

    Weem’s DM Tips for RP Prompting and Immersion

    I wanted to take a minute and thank everyone for the comments, they are much appreciated. This is a bit unorthodox, but I'm going to respond to some comments here... Haha, AND 'Rosanne'! - who would have thought those two would be sharing space in a D&D related post :p Next time. I will...

    Mearls is the new manager of D&D

    Grats Mr. Mearls. I would be interested to know what you see are some of the immediate changes that need to occur that you can only institute now, after having earned this position. Not that I have a list of things that need changing (and if I did, they would quite possibly be different than...

    Grats btw! Relatively new to the marriage thing myself (1 and a half years now)... ...though we have been together a total of 8.5 years now ;)

    Weem’s DM Tips for RP Prompting and Immersion

    Ahh, I see - thanks. That's interesting. I just now went and looked around and found this (you already explained, but I thought I would drop this in as well)... So in my example, I might say his kicker was that he hit bottom... he was homeless and had nothing, not even food or drink...

    Alternative system for Shadowrun setting?

    Interesting question. I have not played Shadowrun, but have just completed my character for what will be my first Shadowrun game coming up soon (we are using SR4). We did one quick test combat, and it went quickly, but there was just 2 of us against 1, so it will be interested to see what I...

    1) Cut a paper grocery bag so it lays down flat 2) Draw out your idea on the "inside" area (aka blank side). 3) Sit back and watch as your worries are swept away by the awesome that is the "omg-its-like-it's-on parchment" effect. Your players won't know what hit em... My regional map in...

    Best Statuses So Far...

    Awww, my status was just changed (by someone other than me), hehe. (I have changed it from what it was changed to fyi). I thought it was funny, given PC's previous post ;) (but I understand).

    Ever let players run the opposition?

    I've never had a player play a monster before. I have thought about it, but I don't. Mine are the type that would not pull punches, which is fine, I just haven't done it. In 4e, I have not had a player die for good yet, but if it happened I would simply have them control an NPC for the...

    What's Your (Favourite) Role?

    Striker, but not because of the damage output - I just love playing rogues for their RP appeal. I would say Leader as a close second because it has the Bard, for the same reason (RP appeal).

    Saturday Morning Cartoon Campaign...

    I have to add in "Duck Tales" hehe. I wrote a few brief articles recently (elsewhere) called "From Duck Tales to D&D" that went into pulling out inspiration and ideas from that show directly into your game. Anyway, it's a great show (I have been watching them all again) so I had to mention it...
