My biggest suggestion: Change that fact as soon as you can. I'm also writing my own adventure, styled after paizo APs, for use by my own groups. I started with no AP experience, so I immediately grabbed what was at the time paizo's newest AP, the first volume of Jade Regent, and I started both...

I depends on party makeup and preparation really. If you're not prepared to deal with one, they're strong. Very strong. If you know it's coming and have the time and ability to prepare properly, well... Let's just say my players ran into their first dragon, a young adult white dragon, after...

I try not to give exact instructions on what to do when players are stuck, but sometimes they jump to more complicated conclusions and I'll hint that they might look at simpler answers first. The only time I can actually remember giving them an answer is when I described an NPC drawing a rune...

One player of mine does it on occasion because she underestimates her own skill. I tend to snark at it. For example pointing out to her that unlike her, I don't need glasses to see at a distance, and I can read the number on top of her dice without leaning over to look at it. So unless they...

I prefer to roll behind my screen, but I do it in the open because that's what my players prefer. I've been told I'm a kind GM, accommodating to so many of their wishes. Except during my bursts of killer instinct. :devil:

If the LG dies, I doubt it'll be here. I don't see Rich killing off Nale while Thog isn't around.

Heh, sounds like my players. The only consolation is that they're slowing moving towards inevitably killing each other, with the well-optimized LG one being the most likely to survive.

I fidget. It's not boredom at all, generally, I just find sitting still and focusing on only one thing to be very uncomfortable, so I multitask. In an odd way, it helps me pay attention. I imagine it could be annoying to have me as a player. I tend to only play online and GM in face-to-face...

And so the puns continue. Interesting that the first one to notice Vaarsuvius' disappearance is Belkar.

It's been down for me the past couple days. I've tried it on Chrome, Opera, Firefox, and Explorer. No luck.

I've run into this in a way that isn't actually the player's fault (or anyone's fault really). The reason in my group's case is that one of our players has a learning disability. I don't know all the details (or remember what it's called actually) but basically he can't tell when he's talking...

Turn on the phone. Then work from there depending on how that goes.

I've used a brownie in Pathfinder. She was living in an old abandoned mansion on some clifftops that got turned into a base by a First World (i.e. fae world) gang of thieves. She spent years hiding out, not really liking that they were there, but not strong enough to get rid of them. (She also...

S'mon: (XPd the question "Do they like you?") Presumably they do. They keep coming back at any rate, and I know I'm not the only choice for a DM in the area. So, I assume either they like how I run things, or they really like coming over to sit on my couch for 5-ish hours a week.

Ah, I see. :) I didn't know the song (until now).

And that relates to anything in this thread... How?

Uh... While I suppose that's technically true, in the sense that people exist with different thresholds of what they can stand, presumably not all male types could take it either. I guess you meant that it's more likely for men to be able to take grit than women. Maybe. I suppose I can...

All of my recent GMs have been male. All their GMs have been female, due to the fact that all their GMs have been me.

Filler and a bad joke. Darn, I was hoping for more. =_=

I do solo play to test out encounters and dungeons and things in advance. I try to play both the player and GM sides as creatively as possible, doing my best to do what the characters would do, rather than acting based on my own knowledge. It takes willpower to deliberately move into ambushes...
