First, I set a level limit based on the city. For example, a place like Sharn might have a variety of level 1-8 magic items. Then I reserve the right to say 'it's not available' for certain items whose properties or powers are a little too extraordinary. Grasping longspears might be around, but...

Friends who work in the glossy magazine business may also know. I bet I could take my 4e books to the creative director of the magazine I edit and he would know.

Do any of you know where I can get a complete list of Eberron adventures, not just the published modules, but the ones that appeared in Dungeon and Dragon magazine during the 3E/3.5E/Paizo run?

Clever man. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to equate 'romantic option' with 'fantasy hanky panky.' However, my player said in no uncertain terms that his character does pursue getting laid on a regular basis (at least insofar as an adventurer can stay in one place long enough to do so) and...

I purchased the West End D6 Star Wars Role-Playing Game in 1995. Still haven't used it, and I own very few RPG products that could possibly take attention away from it.

I'm glad you took the question seriously, and your answer seems more in line with what I had intended. See I don't intend to write whore-forged or anything like that, but I have a PC who has declared that he has been sending via House Sivis, information about the natural world outside of Sharn...

Pregens help. You can find pregens in Keep on the Shadowfell, Khyber's Harvest, and Treasure of Talon Pass, as well as part of any of the free PDFs WotC may have released from DDXP.

Ah what the hell, I'll just leave it a vague matter. Me: "Fade to black." Player 2: "Wait, what?" Player 1: "That's totally hot." Player 3: "How is that even possible?' Player 1: "It's just hot." Player 2: "Did they just have s... e... x?" Me: "I dunno what do you think?" Player 3: "But...

I don't know how many times I'm going to have to say this in this thread, but that is not an issue because I deliberately prevent players from having disparate power levels when they generate characters so power difference between PCs is not an issue. I don't know why people keep bringing...

It's an absolute serious question. I want to introduce a Warforged as a romantic option for one of my characters. He wants to have an academic colleague who receives his reports on observations on biology in the outside world, and I want to make her into a romantic interest. I just want to see...

No, really. I know they can't reproduce. But can they get laid?

No, no, no. I meant that if a majority of the players have rolled up high stats, I automatically say that the next player CAN'T fall behind the power curve by saying he can reroll as many time as possible so that those with +10 awesomeness don't leave him or her in the dust. In effect, if...

I don't require backstory and will try to incorporate elements of it into the story. However, the way I see it the characters are rarely defined by their backstory and the fact that they are a “dragonmarked scion of the Aundair branch of House Cannith who has chosen to become an Orla-un...

I've never really liked Raise Dead, so my fix to make death more threatening is very simple: There is no Raise Dead.* *Except on very steep terms (bargaining with yr deity to revive an ally, paying an assload of gold or being pact-bound).

Wow, as someone who's had an unused Twitter account for years and years now and has recently joined the RPG blogosphere, I really appreciated this post. I've really been interested in joining the 'conversations' that happen in Twitterspace but have not been able to make heads or tails of how...

If you want to make your game sound a little more contemporary, I recommend using music from Six String Samurai, mixing 50s style rock and roll, heavy metal, and polka (yes polka!) to create a heroic sound. YouTube - Six String Samurai Final Battle

As a player: Ability and level drain serve no purpose other than to make things completely frustrating. "Having a hard time hitting the monster? Okay, well, OOPS, it's now even HARDER!" As a DM: Regeneration. Pain in the ass to keep track of, and I can't trust the players to track that for me...

I'm a big score addict who pulls things from everywhere, even movies no one cares about, and it helps if you have a broad and intimate knowledge of what you're using. Running music while DMing is hard to pull off. It's easier if you're a player and you can read the signs of how a given...

I say this as a completely new DM who has more than once, almost set himself up into a situation like this while writing up a session plan, but: You made the right call. As much as it sucks, it would've been the only way he'd learn. And not in an "I'll learn ya," sense, but in the sense that...

No worries. I get what you're saying. But anyway, I do understand that monsters and PCs are created differently, but I'm basically setting up a premise where the players ARE going to expect PVP. I mean that's the event. If they want the coop play that comes from a 'normal' 4e game there are...
