    ...oh no you didn't...

    I had a player some time ago who was around 15-16, and every...EVERY time he died he'd do the pencil breaking thing, sulking, ripping the character sheet, and crying :lol: . For some reason he never did get used to it, but we always enjoyed when he died just for the antics alone. It would...

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    I believe a rogue in another party of mine had the name of Slick 50

    "It's a joke name, sir."

    I had a Buddy of mine in an Asian Campaign (back in the 1E 2E days) play a monk in which he aptly named: Yamanakesamanakechowmein. As silly as the name was he was a pretty kick ass monk. The Bard in our group was: Fugi The Wonderful

    Diamond-tipped arrows?

    I understand that there's no offical ruling of the sort, but If I had a player want to see if it would work, as a DM I'm sure you could find a quick and fair solution rather than saying NO...For example, perhaps every point above 5 that an arrow does adds a 5% chance of having it embedded? The...

    A funny thing happened on the way to the Dungeon

    :D Playing along is usually the best thing to do. Nobody likes a Puppetmaster. Most experienced players when together can tear apart a module, so you may as well be prepared to expect the unexpected

    GRAAAHH!!! [semi-rant/brief]

    Was it Shadowrun that had a class like that called a Juicer?? I can't quite remember.

    Kobold babies...

    :D Why not? You can make some extra cash on the side. If there's a rogue in the party have him conscript them into acrobatic training chineese style, and buy them little red monkey suits then do a touring Freak show. Gotta priest in the party? Do a little protelizing and conform the...

    Mass battles in a campaign -- best way?

    I've used mass battles in the past where PC's were present. I haven't done it the way the miniatures hanbook presents it though, it does slow things down. You can keep the combat relatively fast paced if the PC's are present but not commanding anything -that's where the M-handbook would come...

    Diamond-tipped arrows?

    Realistically diamonds would suck as an arrowhead, but I do like the idea of Diamond tioped arrows for a Fantasy campaign. They would be expensive but definetly a cool weapon with possibilities... Here's a question: Once you've hit someone with a diamond tipped arrow and it's embedded in the...

    Running with throwing weapons

    It's possible you could get something similar to the Shot on the Run feat.

    Items with random effects

    :D If your DM is realllllllllllllllllllly generous, a deck of many things may help. But you could always settle with a deck of illusions instead.

    Drizzt The Drow

    :D I don't think Eliestraee even has the power or ambition to take over Menzo let alone effecting the Lloth clergy worldwide. She's kind of a wussy god from what I read. Yeah she likes hunting beasties from time to time but is more interested in dancing and singing La la la la la la. Correlon...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    :D There was a guy in a group I used to play with in Kelowna. No matter what character he played the DM eventually always had to reduce his characters Charisma to 3 because that's the best he could play his characters. This even happened when he'd try playing Paladins, the DM would always try...

    I wanna sing and KILL PEOPLE!!

    Since Bards are also storytellers, perhaps your gnome should find something akin to the Joke that killed anyone that heard it that Monty python wrote. :D :D

    How are you going to introduce your kids to gaming, if at all?

    :D Funny you mention that on a thread. Yesterday I more or less introduced my 5 year old to it because he was always bugging me when I introduced my 8 year old to it. It had to be simplified though, it was more to learn numbers as much as it was gaming. I made him roll 4d6 for a character...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    The motions were just as quick actually. The 10 minutes was in Game time not real time, so it was much more quicker. Anyways the PC's were annoyed and wanted a little retribution or justification rather a than a plain dismissal. Dismissing the dink was more fun in a graphic way than verbal...

    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    :D I like the Blind date analogy, very true. My experience with a bad gamer is that when taking a trail up a mountain path, one of the more curious PC's playing a woman curiously checks out a large burrow. Being not to bright he/she can barely crawl into the hole but tries anyway, soon...

    Bookstore treats D&D books like Playboy

    I :cool: t may be that the store keeps them behind the desk as a shoplifting deterrent. If the store doesn't have the "detector" at the door that may be a good reason. :\ A few of my friends have capitalized on "free" D&D books due to the lack of security, especially when they are very...

    Quintessentially Forgotten Realms

    Think of the Forgotten Realms like this for a setting feeling: It's very similar to the transition of the dark ages period and the renissance period on earth. Faerun has had many world spanning empires that have collapsed on themselves roughly 1000 or so years ago. Since then many...
