    Woodland Survival - Help out my game!

    Whats the character makeup of the party? A Ranger or Druid will go a long way in helping the party survive the food and water problem. Even an elf would help some. Make the player glad that points were put into survival. How far ar the villagers willing to follow the party. It should be a couple...

    Bothered About Disposable Dragons (B.A.D.D.) Membership Drive

    Sign me up for B.A.D.D. It's great to see an old thread brought back to life. So far the party that I am DM'ing for has only seen 2 dragons. 1 at 2nd level, it just passed overhead. Then at 9th level one took out the ship the party was sailing on. Party only got 1 magic missle spell to land...

    How do your characters deal with potions?

    Horde them for a rainy day Use occasionally Use at least one per adventure, save them for bigger encounters Drink them like Red Bull before going to a rave party Recently I was looking over all the character sheets and noticed that some of them still have potions they received at 2nd...

    Is there anything cooler than a character sheet printed on crinkly, yellow parchment?

    I found this in an old folder. This was a final project for Basic computer programming in my senior year in 1987. I programmed this on the schools VAX system. Very ancient by todays standards. This was just one of the test copies I kept while I tweaked the program. I decided to do this since I...

    Do You Have An Ioun Stone?

    I am DM'ing a group and only the 12th level Rogue has one. The +1 AC one. She "aquired" it from someone she was doing a job for. I didn't even think about it and only added it as a quick addition to the encounter when she said that she was going to try and steal it later. She got the money for...

    In search of a pantheon

    With a little tweaking, like reworking the names, the Aztec pantheon would be good. Lots of good interactions and personalities.

    Have more fun with powergaming

    For me a little powergiming is fun. In one campaign, I have a Sorc/Monk. I took the Enlightened fost just to get more monk benefits. I didn't have to take it, but it would give me more benefits than just finishing out the Sorc class. As long as it doesn't get out of hand, it's fun.

    Deck of Many things: Your best and worst moments

    The party had just cleared out the room and was starting to check for treasure. Me and the other DM (we each know the overarching storyline, but each DM for 2-3 levels) and we had been talking about including a deck but dismissed it. So I was very much surprised when a magic deck was in the...

    How important are pretty maps?

    I want a useful map. Looking good is important and can be useful at the same time. If a room has a bed in it, the map should show that somehow.

    Excel based Character Sheet

    When I think of spreadsheets, I want them to calculate things for me. Having a ring of protection equipped should be reflected in the AC box. Picking a prestige class should calculate new levels and feats. This is just printout of the character. You are still having to do all the pen and paper...

    Do you consider PDF cost by Page Count?

    No, i judge it on the quality just like I do of printed works. Like the new Expedition to Demon Webs for $34.95. Way overpriced for basically a module. But $29.95 for Fiendish Codex I snapped up as quick as I could. Same with PDF's, If it is good and something that I will use, I'll pay good...

    Is gaming *with* a map and minis really bad?

    I've done both and prefer battlemaps, especially as a DM. It avoids confusion, and actually helps the flow of battle.

    Weapons of Legacy

    QFT Using the ones in the book, if the players have it too, takes a lot of fun out of it. Having them discover them on their own adds to the enjoyment.

    I'm burning out, again....

    It's tough with a varied group like that. Sometimes a break can help but it sounds like more review of the rules are needed. For the wizard maybe work with him and write down all the dc's for the spells he has on a cheat sheet. When he levels, he can update them as well. Like everyone else...

    Too many supplements a cause for burnout?

    When new stuff does come out, if the player is interested I try to work in a game encounter with it first. If it plays well then I can introduce it into the campaign. SOme of the things I have allowed were Weapons of Legacy, but I had something similar to that already, Spell Compendium, and some...

    Interview with Scott Rouse, Chris Perkins & Bill Slavicsek

    having to work when you know inside information is tough. I went through a merger and found out about it before the general manager did, about 3 days ahead of time. I found out the decision had been in the works for over 9 months. They closed our entire center and effected about 150 people. It's...
