The Blame Game Make sure you give one of your characters the mutant power of Luck, and the backstabbing will really take care of itself. On our first mission for the computer, everyone died, one guy twice, except me. What really kept pissing people off was I'd pass a post-it to the Ref, and...

I think I saw that movie. I think it's a cool idea. And a staple of wu xia martial arts movies :) Very cool. In the hands of Jackie Chan that item could lay whole armies low. And I would most certainly worry about more than just the pointy part :) In the hands of the right character with...

Solo: Good, Mario van Peebles: Bad Solo gaming is cool for both you and the GM. You can do things you can't normally do in a campaign with more people. You can colaborate on story ideas that might make neat adventures. You can do things like play books. (I did this with DL Chronicals...

Stupid Goblin tricks. A little tactical thinking goes a long way. As long as they're out in the woods looking for grandma's house, the "bad guys" get to plan for trouble too. Goblins are weak, so they travel in numbers. The party would be unlikely to just stumble into the main force of the...

The Eye of the Beholder and I'm not talking about classic PC games. I've had super powered PC's, maybe they didn't have 3 handed swords of God Slaying and Animate Dead. But they were not standard adventurers. I was perhaps a little intimidated at first. But it made me a much better DM/GM...

I would say swiftly delivered pithy remarks are intelligence. Charisma more the force of personality. There are plenty of times you'll see comedians make jokes you damn well know the vast majority of the audiance didn't get, but audiance responds to the delivery more than the substance of the...

Re: Re: Re: What's your point? A proposal that's hard to read quickly becomes a proposal that's not worth reading, no matter how brilliant the poorly described ideas are.

It's old, and would need a little updating, but it rules. Castle Amber. If your players go to sleep, you've got all the hook you need :). It's got all kinds of opportunities for subplots, it's got action, comedy, it's fun for the whole party. And kinda on the lower level side of things, but...

Wha? You can by into magic and dragons, but not flying cities et al, those are just too out there? It would seem once one has bought into magic, there isn't a lot of disbelief left to suspend. You know what I didn't buy into? The spokesman for Colt 45 running cloud city, but then DC...

Gaaah! Wow, I must suck then. I'm the antithesis of preparation. I've always found it useless. The few times I've tried it, it's DOA (excepting exactly 3 occasions). And when I abandon it, I'm rewarded. I go for a little more of a movie feel. Watch a lot of movies, know the rules, get the...

Re: What are people actually writing? I didn't. I don't find that particularly interesting. I'm not a kook who missed the point, so stick with me. It's all about the story. At least for me. What would be a good story to tell? I had a bunch of ideas, pulled them together and presto, a...

Just a little heads up Some of you may or may not be aware, but this contest was also posted to Slashdot News for Nerds, Stuff that matters. And while that in itself might not be interesting, the site boasts about a quarter million users from all walks of life, and all over the world. And...
