    The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

    I didn't post in another thread because I don't want to come across as advertising our game. I mean, we believe it's a great RPG and we want more people to have eyes on it but we don't like sloppy blatant ads. ugh. Also, anybody in this forum from east of St. Louis? Looking for a solid...

    Musing on the Nature of Character in RPGs

    I wish I had a group of players now like you. In our game you can role up a character in 20 mins, but I usually reserve the first 2 hours of a new campaign for character generation. We put a LOT into character generation and personalization. At the same time, I run games that focus more on the...

    All i Really Care About is Interesting Choices

    I think I understand what you're conveying here -- I love the players working together to solve a problem, and the choices they make sometimes reveal things about themselves (I hold a M.A. in psychology so I find things like that interesting). Oftentimes, my players have arrived at a problem or...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best way to deal with greedy players and magic items in a fun game.

    A good GM (DM) would see the disparity, and reward the non-greedy characters in ways superior to the items hoarded by that player. For example, if it was me (a seasoned 40+ year Storyteller), your character would eventually discover some anomaly that would give you a really cool innate power...

    D&D 5E (2014) Best way to deal with greedy players and magic items in a fun game.

    Never liked the watered down versions of rpgs in general. In my day, "tweaker" had a whole different meaning than it does today, and it had nothing to do with drugs, lol. I liked finding myriad ways to tweak the character, and when it's watered down, that just isn't possible.

    D&D 5E (2014) Best way to deal with greedy players and magic items in a fun game.

    "Greedy players" isn't a player problem -- it's a Game Master problem, mostly [edited based on the sad face reply...]. ALL players want good powerful stuff, even if they're role-playing a poor, homeless unsung hero of altruistic demeanor. It's the GMs job to tailor each reward/magic item...
