This is exactly what I'm thinking. How could this ever actually happen?

It went alright! Surprised me with the NECROOOOOO! We played a few sessions of an intro adventure taken from... somewhere. I think the core book? Our team was big - 8 people I think. I played a stealthy guy. It was fun and we definitely liked it, so much so that I think we all kept wanting...

Well, in this game that I'm running that has the Shaman player, they've fought zombies once and Kruthiks twice. With the Kruthiks, I'm even more at a loss to explain, in-game, why they don't attack the spirit companion. With zombies, the answer seems easy - they can't smell it or its brains...

I just did at your suggestion, and you're right. That adds a lot of weight, so I'll be notifying my players next session. These are good points. I think I'll even tell my Shaman player out of game how I'm going to handle it, so he knows what to expect. You're definitely right, I was...

I don't know about this. The spirit companion is clearly on the same side as the PCs. The Shaman has powers that allow it to attack, and a power that allows it to make opportunity attacks. "Allies" can move through the spirit's square, but enemies can't. It is visible, can be targeted, can...

The flanking rules don't specify anything regarding "being a creature". They say only that you must be able to attack to be able to flank. I sort-of figured someone would say that about the zombies. Regardless, apply that to other creatures that don't have the "brain eating" flavor of...

I've got two issues that are unrelated. Issue the First I'm having issues with the Shaman. I'm DMing a game where one of my players plays one. A few questions about it have come up. 1) Can the Shaman's spirit companion flank enemies with other allies on the PC's team? 2) The spirit...

My friend and I are new to the area, having recently PCSed in with the military, and are looking for some gamers to play with around K-Town. Let me know!

Lol, that's what's up. That sounds pretty cool! Especially after having run for about 3 years.

I just DMed the best final session of an adventure/group that I've ever run. There were 7 players and we played through H1 and H2 over the course of 7 months. This session tonight was the final session of H2, and it could not have possibly been better. Great player buy in with their...

I don't know what Dark is. Infernal is too cliche. Fey doesn't make any sense to me. Star is super awesome, but not necessarily mechanically, which is too bad.

Thanks a lot, I'll check out the thread linked.

I've got two questions that are unrelated. 1) When something says to "add your ability modifier", is it referring to your ability modifier ONLY, or your ability modifier plus half your level? *How this question came to mind* I was using the demo character builder and looking at the Bard, and...

This thread has been great - thanks a lot to everybody. Keep the suggestions coming!

This is the second thread I've started recently about my group getting into a game that we are all new to. The first was about Call of Cthulhu, and this is about Shadowrun! So my group and I are ready to try out Shadowrun 4th Edition. We're going to have two games going at the same time with...

We had our first session of CoC yesterday, and it was alright! I think the group was a bit too big, though. We had 8 players plus the Keeper, and it was just really hard to handle everything. I wasn't even the Keeper, and I was getting confused. We split the party up in-game a lot, which...

So no ideas on a good scenario for beginning players?

So, my nefarious scheme worked! My group is going to play Call of Cthulhu by Chaosium. I downloaded and checked out the quick start rules, and it seems like a great system. I won't be running the game, which is another bonus! However, none of us have ever played CoC before, and I have, by...

Well, my gaming group recently decided to take a break around the holidays from the game I run, which is 4E D&D, to play a few sessions of something else. I'm going to try my best to convince them to go with Cthulhu Something, but because we won't be playing that many sessions, we want...

I'm definitely going to check out those quick start rules for CoC, and maybe check out some Trail of Cthulhu as well.
