We used to have lots of snacks, but we have backed off of that due to one case of heart surgery and the rest of us trying to loose weight. Sometimes my wife will make hummus and pita chips or dip (cottage cheese based rather than sour cream) and veggies, or on rare occasions someone brings a...

No. Just that I like working on setting stuff better than I like working on other preperation for running a game. Which, I have to say, was the point of the question. You can like something better than other things and not dislike those other aspects. Just because my favorite thing to do...

D'oh! Yes. How could I worry about "Amon Hen" (which I am still not sure about) and get Gollum wrong?

As a DM which do you like best: creating settings: homebrew from the ground up or tweaking an existing setting to the point of only barely recognizable you prefer the process of world creation, may or may not include homebrew/house rules (for example: Middle Earth) creating campaigns...

Do you primarilly do dungeon, wilderness, or urban encounters? That can effect how treasure is placed. But here are some suggestions: First calculate how much gp a party should earn based on the encounters in a given dungeon/area. Thats your target goal for the total session. Second...

Hmmm...certainly more consistant with the way they are often depicted - very fey like in nature it seems. Given further support by the description of Correlleon as a "fey god." The article does bring a couple of questions to mind: 1. Are the gods mentioned going to be in 4e, or are they place...

Now that you mention it, I used to have those dreams all the time, but haven't that I recall in some time.

Aasimar come to mind first. Could be decended from the servants of some desert god or other celestial power interested in the desert. His powers could come from that heritage.

What elements reoccur in your dreams? I'm not talking about reocurring dreams as a whole, where you dream the same dream over and over, but just pieces that reoccur. Off the top of my head some common ones for me are: *The house I grew up in -almost always 'my house' in a dream, even if...

I understand you. I teach at a local community college, after teaching at the local chain of a region wide tech/vocational college for about 4 years, and our classes started about 2 weeks ago. I have nightmares fairly regularlly about teaching class all the time. They usually involve being...

I thought that those interested in an Atlanta Game Day might also be interested in OmegaCon, taking place in Birmingham, AL March of next year.

Spellscales from Races of the Dragon have a Cha bonus, but are not inherintly a 'desert race' but I think they could be.

Oh, I we have been talking about taking some pics of our cat and doing something similar! Love them Dextra. I will have to wait until they get posted somewhere else to show my wife, however, because if she sees Asmor's pic she will cry.

Or for some completly opposite advice: If you want a 'story' heavy game there are some ways to do it. First communicate to your players the kind of game you intend to run and how you will do it. Ask them if they are interested in playing in such a game. If not go no further. If they are OK...

The issue is not how long the rage itself lasts, but how long does the 'fatigue' experianced by the post-rage barbarian last given that the PHB says it lasts "until the end of the encounter." Regarding Diplomacy or the lack thereof Mark said "Why? Allow them to waste time if they like." But...

In a discussion with the current DM of our group the idea of running a site based adventure and keeping track of time round by round for the entire site came up. Essentially that means the PCs enter the site and from that point on things are tracked as if they were in combat, regardless of the...

In out current campaign we have just made "half-elf" a issue of flavor. Half-elves raised by elves use the stats for elves and those raised by humans the human racial qualities. Differences are primarilly cosmetic, the only real maechanical change is that they are treated as both human and elf...

Even if you don't use the Mythos I find that Call of Cthulu material has tons of resources for a 1920s game - given that its basically the default setting.

I have honestly never played in a "Killer Dungeon" but would be fine with it if: a) The average player with an average PC (who should be, in the campaign world, an exceptional person) can survive it (even with the assistance of magical ressurections) with average die rolls. IOW it shouldnt take...

In the current game its: 1. Character 2. Story 3. Action 4. World And almost universally its true that either Character or Story are first in our games, but we have a small group (so small players have to play more than 1 PC each to make up a party). What I find intersesting in this thread...
