Another voice for True20.

I was too busy thinking about Lovecraft the whole time.

This thread has made me realize something very odd about my own gaming group: At least one (or often more) characters have had romantic interests in just about every White Wolf game we've ever played. And yet, romance in D20 games never seems to come up. It just... Doesn’t happen. I take...

If the players want to focus on their characters, we do that. If they want to follow any of my plot hooks, we do that. If they want to wander around and question peasants about the key differences between African and European swallows, we do that. So, I picked the "see what happens" option...

It had Meepo in it. Therefore, nothing can be wrong with it.

I do not participate in games where the players can freely wander around and commit Stupid Evil acts without harsh consequences, either as a player or as a GM. I look down my nose from atop my high horse at such juvenile pageantry with a detached air of superiority. And, I suspect that like...

Man, oh man. I once had an evil NPC rogue posing as a good cleric of healing- the perfect setup for her to make off with the loot of badly wounded adventurers. All through the adventure, she kept giving made-up ultra religious reasons for not healing certain characters, or not casting certain...

Yup. I’ve had a new guy do this exact same thing. Now, I can understand how all those funky dice might confuse someone new to the game... But the crazy part was that he KNEW he was supposed to be rolling higher than a 12! :confused: Perhaps as you say, the real crazy part was that nobody...

Oh, man, am I ever busted. The big Grizzly Adams guy is actually Big John Aylecast, a game warden from my very first Warhammer campagin. I remember him because he was one of the very few characters I ever played that didn’t die or simply fade away- After helping to rid the land of The Big Evil...

Gez beat me to it. This is just what I was going to suggest, and I've seen it work pretty well.

I don't mean to sound callous... But maybe you’re better off without them? You might look at this experience as an opportunity to put a new, stronger group of players together. Ones who aren’t distracted by repetitive bells & whistles.

I’m big on the idea of “natural soul diffusion.” You can capture, trap, or even alter a soul... But fate will continue bending until that soul ends up where it’s supposed to be in the natural order of things... Perhaps in the form of wandering adventurers to set it free. Much like how water...

When I used to post there, I always felt like I was talking to/dealing with a bunch of kids. I hope that doesn’t come across as belittling- I think it’s great that there are so many young people enjoying the hobby. When I made the switch from 3.5 to True20 and C&C, I abandoned the WoTC forums...

You powergamer!!!

Something else just occurred to me. Why not have the PCs experience some kind of quasi-realistic mishap next time they go tunneling around where they aren’t supposed to? You know, like IRL when miners tragically tunnel into a pocket full of trapped gas. Even spoons can cause sparks, I would...

I can’t fathom how a group of adventurers would have the time or stamina to tunnel through an entire dungeon, even if they had the means.

So I was at a high school football victory party, when everyone in their drunken wisdom began to relentlessly make fun of some D&D dork we knew at school... Including the girl I was there with. Being a member of the football team, I felt compelled to join in as well. Nobody at that party ever...

I just wanted to say thank you for including a “stunned silence” option. Far too often, that choice gets left out of polls, which is a tragedy since it sums up my opinion on so much. At last I have been given accurate voice and representation for my beleifs.

Wow. Just… Wow. That's pretty ungood.

I’ve had that happen a couple of times. The most unexpected time was with a captive the party picked up after a battle. That guy wasn’t even supposed to be an NPC, but the players decided to lug him around as a “bargaining chip” while in enemy territory. Eventually (after much traveling) the...
