I'd say get a co-DM or someone willing to assist you. Having someone to run the "background" guys and look up rules while running the main BBEGs of the fight/fights or whatnot is a huge time saver. When things were getting swamped in my campaign, one of the players and I decided to turn his...

Rugiii, I checked it out. Some feedback: If you can, try and get the applet to stretch to the window size or something. I run at 1600x1200 res myself, so when I load it up, it's rather tiny compared to the whitespace around it :P The reason I didn't say anything though, is because I know...

This is where you're 100% wrong, and where the absurdity creeps into your reasoning. Murder is an evil act. Killing is a neutral act. It is only the intent of the killer that makes it evil or not. A wolf that kills for food is not evil, no more than the snow drift that breaks the tree that...

Steve, that's basically what I'm working on (javascript and ss = AJAX) at the moment. It's going to have most of the popular features, including a bunch of stuff that will hopefully save me time in my own DMing as well as making games run faster. I'm not ready to release yet though. I have...

Here's a thought for the OP: One of you guys that are currently playing should just offer to run an Eberron game. If none of you have DMed ever before, you can just have the current DM help you along. And, you have to learn sometime. Plus, DMing is a whole different type of fun :p

She'd have to basically become mortal enough for a strongish drow wizard to take out, IMO.

Celebrim, I guess we agree then, because all of my analyzation of your posts was under the assumption that you were following the "intentions don't matter" (at all) line of reasoning.

Yes, this is why everyone is saying your posts (and the ideas that you're attempting to convey) are absurd. Now you're attempting to attribute Storm Raven with the "everyone is evil" thing? You're the one that proposed it in the first place. Your logic in determining the morality of actions...

I wouldn't mind taking a look at it. I'm writing something of this nature with javascript and server side languages at the moment (a replacement for ORPG, really, which is what our group currently and has used for a long time (I recall using WebRPG back in the day when it was free too), but...

I'll just assume that means you agree to the absurdity of your argument as well then.

Personally, I think you made up your mind and refused to see the illogic of your own argument. You're claiming that every actor should bear moral culpability for the consequences of every other action in existence (either that, or you're putting some arbitary cap on the measurement of...

A combination of the three sounds about what my campaign is. At first it's 1 with a slight mix of 2, then later it might become about the PCs controlling armies to accomplish their goals (which will partially involve saving the world, if only so that it's not messed up for them to rule XD). So...

The example can be extended indefinitely too. Just consider if the assassin had killed some inventor who would have gone on to create a vaccine of some sort (saving some large amount of lives). In the model that many are advocating, the assassin, the merchant, the bowyer, the farmer and the...

The problem with this that I see is that the first test definitely can't be conclusive. A good character might not react with enough reflexes to push the other away, and similarly an evil character might instinctively react (such as when something falls, and you attempt to catch it...

I'd say from the OP that the paladin in this case is acting both lawfully (following the orders of her king and country, not those of outsiders) and good (apprehending someone evil). I wouldn't consider this a breaking of the paladin code, or either axis of alignment. In fact, I'd say the...

See, personally I agree with you in regards to neutrality. In a campaign I play in, I started as a neutral good fighter. My DM decided my alignment should be neutral when I decided to brand an assassin that attempted to kill us with a mark that would identify him as such (and essentially put...

The above is more a matter of consistency than game balance, IMO. I think the way that game balance could be the killer of D&D is if PC classes were to be balanced against eachother for PvP reasons (for those of you that have played 5 or more MMOGs, you know what I'm talking about). If D&D...

We have different groups between the two current ongoing campaigns (one of which is on hiatus, the one that I'm not DMing). In the group I play in, it's only four of us total, and it's the "core" of our group (we've known eachother longest out of everyone that we game with and that lurks in the...

Hehe sounds great. Anyone ever read the Belisarius Saga? I think it would be cool to run a prehistoric campaign and have the PCs end up starting up tech revolutions of that sort. Currently I'm running a Forgotten Realms campaign (sort of, it has a lot of my own homebrew stuff mixed in in...

I remember the first time I saw Mazes & Monsters (this was after I'd started playing D&D and DMing, and even then I wasn't to be swayed by anyone's BS). Anyway, I recall that I saw it listed in the guide but didn't have any information about it. So I go in thinking it's going to be a normal...
