    Help me convince my players to wear heavy armor.

    You need to include more cool looking NPCs into your campaign that use wicked looking Full Plate. Give them an impossible AC and play up how immovable and impenetrable they are. Alternatively, I like the idea of making Full Plate and/or Heavy Shields the equivalent of "Two Handed Weapons"...

    My personal favorite: -Generic Badly Affected Fantasy European Accent You never know when the DM will attempt to give his NPC a little more flair and bust out an affected imitation worthy of a thrown beerstein. DM: You guys come across a market place. You: Hmm...I'm gonna find a weapons...

    Would you play this?

    Just allow 1st or 2nd level PCs with NO divine magic...then fill your city with ghouls. Not zombies, ghouls. The DnD "zombie" is more akin to a voodoo walking corpse...a walking "Corpse Robot" with no mind, no instinct, and no hunger. A DnD "ghoul", on the other hand, is MUCH more like your...

    What would you play in this group?

    I've got a few suggestions. 1. Dervish -You aren't a charging, smiting, Divine Might killer...but you can unload 193x13 attacks in one round. You won't be an armor clad knight like the Paladin, but more of a swishy/swirly/swashy finesse fighter. Your job in combat is to move around the battle...

    Healer (from MHB): Is this a good class?

    The Healer is perfect for my group as an NPC or Henchman. So far my group consists of 3 Dual Wielding Melee'rs, an Archer, a Spring Attack Swashbuckler...and me as the lone Cleric. I love clerics when they aren't relegated to walking band-aids, as they have a unique set of abilities that...

    Goblinz!

    I've seen some people give props to OotS on here, so I hope I'm not breaking any rules... ...but you guys HAVE to read this webcomic. http://thunt.comicgen.com/d/20050701.html Only the first few are black and white, as the rest are in color. I stumbled upon this site from a banner...

    Why all players but no DMs?

    Dungeon Masters are special people. Let us have a moment of silence to honor them. They spend their free time coming up with ways to entertain you. They listen patiently as you, yet again, yammer on and on about your character. They give you just enough reward to make the adventure...

    Character Creation for WLD

    Absolutely Positively Without a Shade of a Doubt Outlaw Vow of Poverty Other than that, I can't think of anything that could break your game. Warlocks, Soulknives, and Monks will be exceptionally powerful since the WLD doesn't hand out items, and Darkvision becomes HUGE once torches and...

    What are the gamer stereotypes?

    Please, let us not forget: Creepy Trenchcoat in Summer Guy -We all know "That Guy". He probably plays Vampire the Masquerade, tries to wear a pony tail but can't quite pull it off, and never...ever...takes off his leather trenchcoat. He ALWAYS wants to play something dark and brooding, and...

    DM Schticks That Grind Your Gears

    Two of my absolute favorites. 1. I Hate Humans and Fighters...so no Humans or Fighters in my game. -Ok...it is one thing to feel that the optional half-dragon template is overpowered...or maybe Dark Elves give you a bad taste in your mouth. But I've had a DM that would outlaw favored Core...

    Dice Games vs Computer Games

    Sorry about the terminology discrepency. I was going to use "Tabletop" or "PnP", but I realize that now a days Play By Post and OpenRPG style games are extremely popular. Even though it is technically the same thing, there is no "Tabletop" or even "Pens and Paper" in a PbP or OpenRPG game...so...

    Dice Games vs Computer Games

    Because my work involves a lot of time around a computer, I've become sort of a forum hog. I frequent a bunch of different discussion groups to kill time throughout the day, and I was prompted to start this thread because of a comment I saw on another forum. The forum was a martial arts/sport...

    Why is Min/Maxing viewed as bad?

    I've found that the best people to play with are a mixture of munchkin and roleplayer. They build in-depth characters with complete personalities, backgrounds, and goals. They design the mechanics around these characters to make sense with their concept and to better work within a team...

    When Players don't respect the DM's rules - Help!

    Woah woah...they wouldn't even let you back in as a player? What crap. I'm sure you'll find a new group in no time. Are you currently hosting any PbP or OpenRPG games? That could cover your fix until you get a new group.

    Roleplaying high INT and CHA with low WIS

    I'm surprised no one else mentioned this. -The Brilliant Addict The guy is basically a genius at whatever he does, and his good looks and ability to impress others ensures that he's well employed, admired, and respected. This man seems to have it all, right? Wrong. Beneath this intelligent...

    Do You Prefer 4 Or More Players (+ DM) When RPGing?

    1 Yup, one. The only games I DM anymore are solo campaigns with heavy roleplaying and light rules. I think everyone can understand how easy it is to get burned out as a DM.

    Checking : Favored soul's spell DC is based off wis?

    Honestly...I don't know. We've houseruled them to be Divine Sorcerers. Charisma for Spells, Charisma for DC...no reason to gimp a class by splitting the attributes.

    DM : "Your fighter does too much damage. Drop the belt of strength."

    Your DM is testing you. I repeat... YOUR DM IS TESTING YOU!! I used to do this all the time with my players to essentially figure out "Where there head was at" For instance, I had a dual-wielding PC that min-maxed the hell out of a 2nd Edition Fighter. He happened upon some incredible...

    Depressed DM not getting it right...(depressingly long, very long...)

    I'd seriously consider using OpenRPG. You type very well, and you've already planned a number of campaigns. If you can speak and type at fluent speed, then you'll have absolutely no issue playing online. I've found that playing online with OpenRPG tends to weed out the Rollplayers (not that...
