    Using mood music properly in RPGs- looking for advice

    Oh I didn't explain the light source thing. It seems the brighter and more light we had(which people want so they can see maps, books, and such) the more intrusive or a distraction it was. The dimmer light it seemed to work.

    Using mood music properly in RPGs- looking for advice

    I have found that it is also directly related to light sources. Tried to insert cool music for the longest time. I have only ever done it once successfully.(In one campaign) we were epic level and the culmination had breaking benjamins "So Cold" rocking it out.

    The big boss guy runs away, how do I make this not feel like cheating?

    You could use a natural break also. A cave in. Or collapse in building. They have to choose to save something(one) else. Who says they have to beat the bbeg? Maybe he hands them a whoopin before he scoots?

    Assassination of the Prince

    So what are your expectations for the human army...I mean an assissination of a political and beloved ruler won't be taken down. This may even pave the way for a strong LN millitant to take control and make it a very policed nation with emphasis on it's millitary? A lot of options here. I like it.

    theres an awesome encounter with Paul S. Kemp's "Erevis Cale" series. this shadow dragon was covered in wraiths, could use something called the black speech wich was so wicked and blasphemous it induced vomiting, pain, and bleeding from ears.

    Thanks guys....Completely forgot about Mutants and Masterminds*looks to his right and see's four Mutants and Masterminds source books sitting on his book shelf* What I am running right now is sort of a pot luck of all the different mechanics that I have liked. This stems from the fact that...

    Assassination of the Prince

    Beninhb has some great advice. You may just consider asking them before the session actually starts. Recap "This is what has happened so far. Your options are this(list the three you mentioned). Then just ask them realistically where they want to go." I assume you are fine with the direction...

    Archetype/Demi-class system

    I suffer from a diesease. A new system comes out I love it. I DM it for 3-4 months. I hate it. It's always too something or not quite the other. For example for 3.x I loved the options, then there were too many options. Combat lasted whole sessions(plural...one encounter). But I soldier on till...

    i need help with my plot/game

    Mentors are always great tool. Even if the PC's don't want them. So they go to this cave or to the cave and there is a big nasty beastie. Above their paygrade. They spar with it realize it's out of their league. Just as all hope is lost the calvary shows up. Uncorrupted Paladins, Corrupted ones...

    Religious puzzle for a 4E game?

    I am curious how this played out. When you said this I could not help but think of all the Legacy of Kain/Soul Reaver games they were chock full of puzzles and such. I had an additional thought. The Chief statue could be blown apart so the pc's would have to comb through the cloister picking...

    The darkness in us all

    The Black Ace was full tonight. Several trade ships had come to port. Midshipman and ship crew packed the joint. The drinking hole was doing spades in business. Towards the back a game of Thrones and Blades was in full swing. “9’s over 6’s” said a grizzled Sea dog as he laid his cards down...
