    Players: do you feel cheated if DM improvises?

    Exactly! As an example, in FotR, Gandalf asks Frodo which way they should go: the Gap of Rohan or through the Mines of Moria. Tolkien had the Gap all planned out thinking that the players would be crazy to go through the Mines. We all know what happened next. He didn't whine or complain. He...

    Time for Ceramic DM? (judge-free commentary thread NO JUDGES ALLOWED AS OF NOW :) )

    Thanks! Some more good advice (using italics)... When I was typing up the story, I offset the flashbacks and the script so that it was easy to distinguish which was which. Copying-and-pasting it onto the boards lost some of the effect. Another lesson learned. The Mythos reference is from what is...

    Time for Ceramic DM? (judge-free commentary thread NO JUDGES ALLOWED AS OF NOW :) )

    Thanks for the advice. Getting the pictures involves was the hardest part to the whole thing. I only felt really good about the masks. I will definitely remember that for the future. Yeah, I really like Mythos references too. Too bad my players don't... :]

    Why Do You Game?

    Storyteller and tactician. I am the DM of the group and we have a little issue over how much powergaming and buttkicking there needs to be. We just recently switched from Dawnforge to Conan and everyone seemed to like it a lot-including me. :cool:

    Time for Ceramic DM? (judge-free commentary thread NO JUDGES ALLOWED AS OF NOW :) )

    I'm reminded of a classic quote from the movie Jaws. The set-up: Quint has just told Brody that they are going in to bring the shark into the shallows and drown him. Brody's reply-"Thank Christ!" That's how I feel. Glad to get it done... :D

    Slave Pits of the Undercity - your experiences?

    One of my favorites of all-time! Who doesn't love a series of adventures that ends up with the party being half-naked and stumbling in the dark trying to find their way out? :]

    Favorite book in Tom Clancy's Ryanverse.

    I voted for Without Remorse, but I could have easily gone with Debt of Honor. I like all of his books. :cool:

    Spiderwick DiTerlizzi young reader series

    That brought a little chuckle from me because I think most people here would know Tony from his Planescape days...Some might know that he also did Magic cards.

    My game has become "me vs. them"

    I guess I'm a big believer in the "it all evens out" philosophy. The party is cakewalking over some encounters you threw at them? No big deal. They avoid some encounters you want them to face? Don't sweat it. It all evens out. And you can begin the evening out process with "Glacier Season" from...
