Hah...Awesome. :D NCSUCodeMonkey

It was already in the cards! There's the possibility of a showdown with a BBEG this weekend, and the encounter is designed to ki--er--be tough! :] NCSUCodeMonkey

I agree, and would add that I also think that the DM should work with the player to integrate their background into the setting. A player came to me last week with a new character and his background was unworkable for the setting. So, I made a few suggestions and he wound up with something that...

That, sir, is pure and utter genius. All of it. I've never seen it said quite so well before. NCSUCodeMonkey

Wow, I'm kind of surprised, really. I would've thought that more people enjoy puzzles in their game. It took me a really long time to figure out how to design and execute successful puzzles, but I've discovered some basic truths. 1. Keep it simple. Really, really, really, really simple. 2. GIve...

If your players are looking to have a campaign where they work together to bring about incredible acts of evil and destruction, you'll need some method (either roleplaying based or magical) that will "force" them to work together. Otherwise the whole affair breaks down into backstabbing...

I'm specifically not bringing in old PCs in the current setting. Mainly because I want to make it clear to the players that the setting is about them, not showing them how cool/powerful the old PCs are. Once they approach the power level of the old PCs, I might bring them into focus as a meeting...

I send reminders mainly because everyone is busy and our start time tends to fluctuate depending on everyone's plans that week. NCSUCodeMonkey

We're averaging about 15 hours a level at the moment, but the setting is pretty lethal. I'm not really giving out XP for roleplaying at all and they're still bumping up at that rate. NCSUCodeMonkey

My current campaign world is very undead centric at the moment, and I'd like to give my players a bit of a change-up. At some point in the future, I'd like to bring devils into the game as classicly dark and evil beings who tempt mortals into acts of evil. As I was thinking about how and when...

...I'm in a bad mood ;). Just kidding. Combat tends to be lethal in my game, so character deaths are fairly unpredictable. It's not always because they do stupid things, sometimes they do exactly the right thing and the encounter overwhelms them. NCSUCodeMonkey

My problem is that I really, really enjoy drawing maps. Since I'm not that great of an artist, if I sit down and sketch out a dungeon, I can get it to a workable state in a reasonable amount of time. When I start using mapping software, I'm always looking for just the right tree, barrel, desk...

You probably saw the set for the final battle, inside of the UFO ride. The last picture in Yttrai's post is an extreme closeup of this. NCSUCodeMonkey

I thought I'd lost the camera, just found it about twenty minutes ago. Here are more pictures of the Avenger's game. I don't have as many towards the end because of the rush to finish. Here they are: House of Mirrors: http://static.flickr.com/26/56136266_09493f2ad3.jpg...

Yes, and hence my hesitation. But if you look at the wording of the actions in the SRD, they're nigh identical: An excellent point. If I do allow the player to do this, I'll certainly enforce this restriction. Thanks for the help so far! NCSUCodeMonkey

One of my players has asked me if I would "allow" quick draw to work for the ready/loose shield actions. I.e., if he took quick draw, would I let him ready or loose a shield as a free action. Two questions: 1) Is this already allowed/implied by the rules since shields can be used as weapons? 2)...

That was a blast and a great success. Mav, thanks so much for hosting and letting us pack your house to the gills (Well, if houses had gills...;)) and for the food, it was awesome. Piratecat, that was an excellent introduction to Warhammer with truly stunning roleplaying from everyone around the...

Whoo! This is going to be fun. I'm putting together the last prop for Underoo Avengers tonight and making some updates to the characters, but everything looks to be on track. I ran a playtest of the game on Wed. night and everyone had a blast (only a few small glitches, hence the character sheet...

Excellent ideas, and I'm going to tack them on in case I ever use this in a more fantasy setting. For this weekend, the game is a superheroes adventure, so the only one that applies here is supernatural flight. It will indeed work the same (and I should probably mention it). Thanks! NCSUCodeMonkey

So, I found a really cool hosted setting right here on ENWorld, The Cosmonomicon (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=121951), that had some pretty spiffy rules for Zero G combat. I've taken that, along with blargney II's suggestion of levitate, to produce the following simplified ruleset...
