I wouldn't be much of a DM if I didn't plug the sheet created by one of my players: http://www.geocities.com/arthursgrail/ArthursGrailRecordSheet.html

The PC's IMC tend to be the movers and shakers, even if they don't know it. i.e. One of my players recently found out that he is the direct descendent of the man who was sacrificed in the Invoked Devastation ritual, and now people are hunting him for the same purpose. I usually have a...

I've played under a DM who used them, and it was very cool - added to the story and the feel of the game. Everytime I try to use them they fall flat. Maybe my players, maybe my DM'ing style...eh, my game goes great without them.

Very, very, very well put

The first group I DM'd in 3.0 started at level 1 and hit level 30 and Divine Rank 2

I would only play an Elfe if I could use the rules from that slightly broken 2nd ed elfe book...

I DM a weekly game and, until taking my current job, played in a bi-weekly one. I find that I enjoy DM'ing just as much as playing...setting up puzzles and quandries, challenging the PC's, hearing the players spend smoke-breaks discussing stratagy and casting side-long glances at me...it's...

I would say that, most of the time, I feel a little remorse when a PC hits (and bites) the dust...not enough to change the outcome any, but still... IMC there are penty of ways the party could have the character in question brought back, if that's what the player wants, so the twinge of guilt...

My last kill ...As a DM: The party had just dispatched an evil sorcerer who was making cursed items for the express purpose of perverting good clerics and paladins (one had almost 'turned' a party member). As the villain died he summoned his master - A Balor. The party fought tooth and nail...

My group just started playing Lacuna, it's also class-less, level-less and HP-less....and pretty darn fun to boot.

Agronicus Thex Kakita Akagi Llonilliunalus (Llon to his friends)

A friend of mine ran a game where the party spent hours (real-time) trying to find the secret, underground entrance to to castle...the whole time they were wondering around the town he kept telling them about this tavern they were passing by over and over: The Tunnel Inn. Edit: One more, In an...

I've never heard of it happening, and I know lots of people who play both. I myself have been playing City of Heroes for about a year, I simply view it as another gaming outlet, another facet of the hobby (and no, City of Heroes is not better than D&D).

LotR side-bar... Anglachel (AKA Durthang) in the Silmarillion(sp?) was apparently sentient, since it responds vocally to Turin's request that it kill him. It's most certainly unique in all of Tolkein's works as a sentient sword. On to the point... I think the tendency toward intelligent...

I've done this a couple times. The trick is to have players who trust you as a DM, and understand that any plot development along these lines is for drama and fun, not you or another player screwing them (that's true right?). It's also necessary to do it in such a way that the characters being...

In the original 3e game I ran, the PC's went from 1st to 30th and then ascended to godhood and NPC status. That game started right after the 3.0 DMG was released and ended about a year ago. In the current game, which started several months after the last one (time off playing other stuff) the...

Ditto Go Greyhawk :p

I think that the game is maybe a little less lethal now than it was in previous editions, although that may be the way I run 3.5 vs. the way my former DM ran 2e... My game tends to have a low PC-death rate, although that's mostly due to my players being smart and careful...they do get hurt a...

Yeah, I work an ISP help-desk, so no headphones ;) I forgot that I once threw into a game, on a whim, a carnivorous plant inspired by 'Hellflower' by the Electric Hellfire Club. Total off the cuff encounter that actually went quite well. There aren't any lyrics, but the last movement of...

I tend to use phrases like "Slightly wounded" or "Half-dead" which are vague and descriptive at the same time. It also depends on the type of creature; it's easier to gage the health of a humanoid than an ooze. Edit:I only give the AC of the creature toward the end of long combats, usually...
