    Minimizing Prep Time - Forked from "DMing: from fun to work "

    Prep-time for me ends up being maybe 2-2.5 hours per session. I usually end up going over the material and making sure I remember all the bits and pieces that need to be remembered. Other then that I write everything down that I need, like stats, and wing the rest.

    WotC and brick and mortar retail stores - Greg Leeds weighs in

    Well those of us who live here in Michigan, specifically West Michigan where Marcus's stores are located as am I, Detroit has some effect on us but not a whole lot. We here in W-Mi are more effected by companies like Pfizer on this side of the state. But all-in-all, Michigan is just in a bad...

    Ever had a game stolen from you?

    Well, first I am not too clear on your use of terminology but I will try to offer up MHO as best as I can. You might be better off not DMing for them. Yes what, or how, they went about telling you they were not having fun was rather rude but be glad you are still invited to the table. It is...

    I need help converting BRP to D20

    I am trying to convert some stuff from BRP to D20 3.5 for a Dreamlands campaign I will be running soon. I am having problems with figuring out the level of the NPC I am currently working on. I have tried the two methods it suggests in the D20 COC book but it doesn't seem right. The character I...

    Wisdom???

    Wis, to me, represents knowledge that I have learned by chance. Int is something that can be learned from a book to increase your understanding of things, like math. But Wis is something akin to "I learned that not all dogs are nice dogs". A low Wis score, to me, then would mean that despite...

    Dealing with Extraordinary players

    Well it seems like you have a unique situation on your hands. *They are skilled and know the rules well so they are smart players. *You don't have much time to do heavy prepping. *They are few. Go hordes. Go plague zombie hordes like you see in the movies. A necromancer on a separate...

    Best Five RPG Books You Own

    The most recent Changeling book...Changeling: The Lost (Have not brought them out in a while so I am fuzzy on the exact name. I picked the base Changeling book because I didn't want to use up my five picks for all of the books in that series. Or do you mean CoC: DL? I have "The Complete...

    Pathfinder 1E Is PAIZO becoming the next Wizards?

    IMHO - It is not fair to compare Paizo to WotC in the range of success...or equate them in any way. So no, Paizo is not becoming the next WotC...they are just becoming "Paizo and more".

    Mixed Setting Or Pure?

    Right now I am throwing together a mix game of D&D, Spycraft, and CoC. Trying to go for high fantasy vs. mythos in a modern era. I don't mind either though. As long as it is good I am game.

    Reflavoring Races

    In the setting I have been writing up fey covers those who are not human or hyberborean. Sort of like how in Star Wars the Sith were an actual race before they were a type of descriptor for jedi who have given in to the darkness of the force. There used to be fey as in fairies, elves and what...

    4E Class Survivor - Round 5

    I am really disappointed that the cleric is off and gone. I post it here because this was the thread that called for his departure. I really like the cleric and have been playing mine since release. I did not go laser cleric because that was not what I envision them to be. My cleric is up...

    Resurrecting old RPG favorites.

    I am sure a lot of you have seen old RPGs fall to the wayside and die off...even though you may still play them. But if you could, what ones would you like to see brought back? Would you like to see it re-envisioned or just kept as is with new material? What system do you feel would fit it...
