Awesome! Glad you found it useful ;) Sounds fun, hehe - thanks for sharing! You mention trying to get them interested and it reminded me of another little post I did not too long ago called "Don't Forget the Excitement (when DM-ing)" you might check out. Basically, I share how I was reminded...

I had this happening a lot yesterday and the day before, so you are not alone. Today has been fine though.

Oh that would indeed be fun... ;) Being wrong is the new "right"... or so I am told :p

Lost and Modern Family here. On Hulu of course ;)

I like to have (in most campaigns) someone who walks a really fine line with the PC's between "he's helpful" and "I'm going to smear his guts across the floor". In my current campaign, one such character (a 'devil') had been tormenting the players in this way. He had come close to being killed...

Hit the icon of the green thumb. It's over here... . . . . . . . . . <-----

That's a cool way of handling that. I have seen others who ask their players to work out their backgrounds, and then to details how they know 1 or more of the other players, but this is a more interesting way of achieving that I think - that you have to work yourself into a specific situation...

Good advice there, thanks for sharing! Yea, pacing is really important. Mine could be better at times for sure - it's something I'm working on... kind of... ;) <edit> I have to spread some butter before dishing it to you guys - sorry :( </edit>

Excellent topic. I am terrible with this, and tend to just store it all in the braincase... which doesn't work out so well at times. It works for the most part, but I have my moments. It really is an aspect of my game that needs work. I'm looking forward to hearing what others have to say...

Unless of course that includes giving you the finger, flipping over the table and urinating in the corner of your room... ...on the other hand... that might be pretty awesome. It would be a story at least ;)

Yea. That foreground information is immediately needed. The rest can come with time, and in fact leaving it a little open allows for a lot of RP wiggle room as you go. It's really cool to bring that creative process INTO the game. On top of that, some people just have a harder time than others...

Usually in forums such as these, you set the XP value for additional box (or star, or mug of beer, whatever the image is) so in this case it is probably independent of the XP titles. I could be wrong of course. <edit> EX: <> 50xp <><> 150xp <><><> 300xp etc </edit>

I should clarify - I stole the cat from some website (didn't make him myself) - I did add the matrix code, and EN World logo though, hehe. And the words of course :p

Yea, I have been to that one many times as well (used to live in Cupertino myself). Been a while though. A lot of places that used to have a "lot" of D&D stuff have very little any more (if anything). It's a shame.

Yea, that's cool! I like the use of columns as well for the added ease of determining which conditions you are rolling to save against. You could, for example, assume that players roll vs the one on top, and work their way down. Plus, poker chips are cheap... hmm... <edit> Sorry... </edit>

Not so much anymore. I'm originally from the bay area (san jose, etc) and that used to be more common - not as much anymore, though there are still some. When I was about 13-14 we were in a mall (I think in Fremont) and the gaming store there happened to be setting up a game in the store -...

I bought a bunch of these as they came out and still have them but never played. I pulled them out during one of my recent D&D games and was telling them we should give it a run because I still hear good things about it - like this thread. I'm really wanting to try it out now... ...I'll have...

Hehe, "EiTkoCaT wuz here..." But did you see the image to go with it? :p
