    Should XP be given by Encounter Level or Challenge Rating?

    I would guess to say either way is good, but by EL is best as it combines the factors of the monsters and the traps in the room together. This way if you have a CR 3 trap that really complicates a battle with an otyugh in the same room its all factored into the XP you hand out.

    GMs: What lessons have you learned from playing/other GMs?

    I used to hand out a survey after the end of my games. It was all anonymous and i found some of the answers surprising and very helpful. I still also take player feedback on a regular basis.

    GMs: What lessons have you learned from playing/other GMs?

    As a GM playing in a game the single most important thing you can learn is to be the player. Too many times I have watched GM's who can't let go of the reigns so another can take teh helm. I've seen GM's as players who are rules mechanics and adjudicating master minds. they end up slowing...

    What is Rifts like?

    I'm in a Saturady Rifts game online and its fun. I play teh role of a healer but the other characters and the NPC's vary greatly. Sometimes I'm patching up primitives who revere me as a god healer and sometimes I'm patching up village idiots with weapons too big for themselves. The game does...

    AD&D 2E 2e Monster Thread

    I see many great 3.5 references and converted monsters here but there used to be a really nice 2e monster manual online till it came down a couple years back.

    Looking for terrain-generating software.

    http://www.mapmage.com/downloads.htm http://www.dungeonforge.com Hope those two help. Also try googling AutoRealm, it does decent continent maps and is free. Even better is campaign cartographer from what I hear and I have seen folks do nice things with it as well. I understand it might be...

    How can I run a military campaign over a messageboard?

    How large scale are we talking. I have run some large combats with OpenRPG by doing a rolld of [20 d20] and teh results go as: [20d20] => [3,13,5,15,9,2,9,10,16,7,16,5,8,16,15,19,14,19,11,7] = (219) Froom this I ignore teh 219 result and look at all teh individual totals. If my goblins...

    Are kids playing tabletop D&D these days?

    You can do this with online gaming too, namely with OpenRPG though I'm not sure that other platforms work in this way. Playing online is social, but it takes more time to be so. After you have gamed with teh same folks online for about 6-8 months you can forge realtionships by IM, email, and...

    DM Cheating

    Much of this to me boils down to DM - Player trust. Does the player trust the DM to decide what is best or the dice? Another dilemma is the value beat into the characters of the game. If your forced to fudge dice most likely it is to prevent a character death to turn the story arc in a...
