Maybe . . . but only if three of the players were River . . . ;)

I appreciate the offer. I'll let you know the AP, even though I pretty much already moved on and let my group know this. I'm getting ready to run Mother of Flies in Council of Thieves, and there seems to be a metric ton of "so low they won't be worth the effort" encounters in the book, which...

I probably should have done this, but honestly, I'm having a hard time even psyching myself up for playing, let alone figuring out what to do to skip ahead to the good parts.

Thank you for that. While we play every other week on Thursday, and we just played this last Thursday, I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing for sure by Sunday. I actually had one player that wouldn't mind switching systems and wanted to know if I wanted to convert it to Savage Worlds, but...

I need to grow a set. I posted here a few weeks ago about how I was getting burned out by running my Pathfinder game, and I wanted to step back and run something like Savage Worlds, and that if someone in the group wanted to keep going with Pathfinder, I'd step down as GM. I told my group, I...

There was a running joke back in the 2nd edition material such as the sourcebooks and novels about bears. They are referenced several times as fearsome creatures no one wants to meet, but then there are off hand comments about their shells and things like that. The joke being that bears may...

I finally have my Earth 52 DC Adventures game set up the way I want it to work on Epic Words. I have all of the GM perspective updates posted on the site, for anyone that is interested. Earth 52 - Epic Words

I don't think its that D&D has a stigma to Hollywood types. I really don't. At least not the one we are used to thinking about. I think there are a lot of Hollywood types that were "cool kids" in school, and the "stigma" that D&D has is that the annoying nerds that they couldn't stand played...

Part of me actually thinks DC did need a reboot. I think that there is a lot of baggage from some stories like Identity Crisis that really weighs down the current DC Universe, and there is this strange disconnect between pushing the Silver Age versions of some characters while still doing...

I've recently found myself burned out on Pathfinder as well, and upon further analysis, I've realized that the amount of work I do isn't equal to the amount of fun I have. I really started looking at Savage Worlds, and while I haven't started up a campaign with it, the other night, my friend...

Stormblade Blooddrinker, which is actually a bad Common translation of the Sylvan "He Likes to Sleep in Grassy Pastures During the Rain and Live Off of Sap."

This issue always trips about a thousand different thoughts in my head. Back in the 80s, in my Sunday school class, we went through the "D&D is Satanic" lesson plan, and when it came up, some of us brought in our game books for the teachers to look at, and I even ran a session for people in...

Core Pathfinder is an improvement over 3.5. That's a fairly simple equation. Not only are the classes a bit more interesting, but the consolidation of mechanics into Combat Maneuvers is great, being able to build encounters based on XP budgets is really handy, and some of the simple templates...

I've noticed I'm of two minds on this. On the GM side of the screen, I like telling a story, so I don't mind saying "if you guys can do X, this fight is over," but from the player's side, once I've been told that my character is in a fight, I really want it to play out, because once in a while...

This is one superhero concept I'd love to play: What Do I Know? KnightErrantJR's Games and Geekdom Blog: Untapped Potential: Characters I'd Like to Play--Joshua Goodheart (Superhero Genre) The interest for me is that both DC and Marvel have some interesting Western characters that have...

I've noticed both in my game and the game that my friend runs and I play in that "nuisance" encounters really grate on my nerves. I try to make sure to use things like aid another, but man, I hate gearing up to run a fight that has no real danger to it (hm . . . the adventure says a bunch of...

I've got great players and great friends, that's why I worry about things like this . . . :)

Yes, this is more along the lines of what I'm thinking. I'm already spending time modifying the published adventure to make it appropriate for six characters, but the published adventure is behind in the "arms race" because was written assuming the core rules.

Not really, because I don't really want to sift through rules to find things that are problematic. And I'm not really not wanting to be a GM, I'm just getting this kind of mental static when it comes to people discussing options and new books and the like (and not all of them want to use...

I don't think I'm burned out as a GM, given that I'm pretty energized when it comes to the DC Adventures game that I'm running on alternating Tuesdays.
