    LOTR from a gamer's perspective

    No, what I was saying that the Elves never got any word about how they were just leaving, abandoning the world. Only in the movie was it brought up, when Gladriel mentaly messaged Elrond and asked him if they would just leave men to their Fate. I dont seem a bunch of middeleage men, who were...

    I ran an awesome session last week

    Nope, sorry, cant let you pull a newbie into Call of Cthulhu...don't they knowthey get eaten at the end of the game, and the finding Cthulhu is not about wining, its just about finding him and surviving everything up untill that point. NOt for beginers.

    I hate Tolkien: suggest a fantasy setting.

    Stop making it sound like Tolkien was the only one to ever use Elves and the like, he didn't create fantasy or the races he used.

    Do you fold multiple skills into one?

    Some yes and some no. Open lock is not disable device: one opens it, one breaks it or shuts it down so it doesn't work. Use magic and psiconic device could be one in the same, if your game makes Magic and Psion powers the same. Bluff, Diplomacy, and Intimidate are close, but they arn't the same...

    Hit Points and D&D

    Well, in most wounds/vitality games, Raise Dead, and other healing spells are higher level anways, if not without Raise Dead or the other such spells gone all together. But to your question, at higher levels, you shouldn't be getting hit. Your Ac should be gowing up every other level if your a...

    Mixing Races....and why DM's shouldn't allow it

    I just read somewhere that a player was a Kobal (ya know, the little lizard guys) and a Halfling.... I wonder, how did that happen? And why kind of DM allowed it? I mean, mixing races are fine, but put some thought into it. There is a reason that a Man and a female HORSE can't breed? Not the...

    LOTR from a gamer's perspective

    I dont know who, but someone said that Gandalf wasn't week because he took down the Balrog...and if anyone's read the book, they know that Gandalf didn't even know what it was, it was Legolas that had to tell him. That point aside, ok, its a Balrog: does that mean its a D&D Balrog with all the...

    How Much of a Railroader Are You?

    Even though you want to tell a story, if you push the players into it, its railroading, even if it is to a less degree. What you must remember, as a DM, is that the WORLD TURNS whether or not the players go along with the plot. So: if you set it up that the players hear a name of a villian, and...

    Why do you love/hate Drizzt?

    Drizzt!!!!!!!!! who cares how his name is spelt, I could call him "perfect Drow" and it work just the same. I hate "Perfect Drow" just like I hate everyother pulp-made fantasy garbage that is spewed out every few cycles. Its simple and ease and filled with way to many verbs, and action-words...

    LOTR from a gamer's perspective

    Its about staying within bounds True, but the work was a Book and not a Game. It was writen for depth, and story and the journey, for the fellowship. The world is lowmagic..verylow, so we dont know if Telaport, or anything else exists. In the book, Gandalf never really used a whole lot of...

    Difficulty Level vs Character Level

    I would say that Yes, the difficulty gets higher,but equal to their levels. First level, a few wolves could kill them, a few levels later, its men, a few later its men on horses with a magic user of some kind, later its something summoned, made, or paied to kill them, later is mor than one, and...

    "Visions of the future"

    mmm, it would be fun, but sounds like youd need the right players, and up their starting level so that their charactes coulder understand what sounds like to be a rift in the mulit-verse, or the timestream; you couldn't play with newbees...and youd have to be on with it all the time so that you...

    What the hell is wrong with me???

    Well, on that hand, I agree. I too like good dark villians, I was thinking you were just killing the players left and right cause that was within your power. Wanting the Villian to win is fine, why dont you set up the game where the world is evil....take this, what if Hitler had won WW2, what...

    Gargantuan White Dragon!

    I say, who cares...Drizzt Do`Uden is the worst Fantasy creation ever as well as everyother bad character that R.A Salvatore spits out every few months for those who like Pulp Fantasy to read.

    Dark Fantasy with the standard races?

    How dark do you want to take it, hell, halflings could be canables. Maybe thats why there are no more humans, they were all turned into Mince-Meat Pies, if you want dark, then any race can fit you just have to twist it or tweek it. Take Elves, what if elves were like mixed with Pin Head from...

    What the hell is wrong with me???

    Wow, it sounds to me that you shouldn't be DM'ing, you'r holding a too tight for me. I would question a few things "are you fixing the Dice, I mean, are you rolling just to roll and then telling the players what damage you feel is right? when you fail a role for your villian, do you fix it so...

    Looking for an Epic level module/adventure

    Do some reading. I dont mean pre-made games, I mean some real reading. If you want to run an Epic level game, read "Elric Song of the Black Sword." Buy it on Ebay, its an old book, so it should be cheap. This book takes the main hero throug the planes and against the gods, the world is...

    Licensing of Hobbits and Orcs

    Why does every one think that!!!! Tolkien didn't creat Hobbits or Orcs or Goblins or Elves....they are much older than that. In most cultures: norse, celts, germanic peoples and others, there have always been these races, these story based beings woven into their culture. There names and...
