I notice based on the results at the time of my voting that I seem to fall into the norm. I chose most of the items that have higher percentages, with the exception of world-building. I didn't select that because we haven't done much of it. We usually use preexisting settings. I also chose...

Letter #30 11 Goodmonth, 601 CY Palace of Sheikh Azman, Sefmir, Tusmit Dearest brother; As I told you in my last letter, we'd spent a day in the city disposing of certain items and purchasing others, and had ended up in possession of a book and an amulet that had belonged to a man now dead...

Remind the other players that although it's very nice for them to roleplay their characters' suspicions of strangers, if they don't accept your new character you won't get to play. Roleplaying games sometimes require players to let go of the roleplaying long enough for the "game" part of the...

I've said this before in numerous other threads: character death isn't necessary to have challenge and excitement in a game. I've played for years with a group in which character death occurs very rarely. We only recently had our first character death in a number of years, and that occurred...

Letter #29 The Palace of Sheikh Azman, Sefmir, Tusmit 10 Goodmonth, 601 CY Dearest brother; As I told you in my last letter, we'd managed to capture the greedy merchant Gwarunga and had escaped the horrid creature in the cave. We handed the merchant over to the priest Bijan for punishment...

Ugh. Yet again this topic rears its ugly head. Players need to get over the idea that the GM can be completely impartial toward every player in the game. Even if you don't have girlfriends/spouses/significant others involved, there's bound to be some kind of relationship that will cause the GM...

Retreater makes some really good suggestions. Another thing you could try, Guardsmith, is giving the players some suggestions of things to do during encounters. I know this is difficult when you're trying to run the monsters or NPCs, but if you see that the players are feeling overwhelmed or...

:lol: I'd like to see someone actually using a khopesh. Are there even stats for that? Or what about the sodegarami? It's actually statted out - who's going to use an ultra-specialized weapon like that? :confused: There's a part of me that would also like to see a game where everyone is...

Letter #28 9 Goodmonth 601 CY, Sefmir To Tiryon Aldarin, Flameflower, Vesve Dearest brother; A great deal has happened since I wrote you last. I'll have to condense my story a bit else this letter will be too unwieldy to read. As I told you in my last letter, our friend Illtud had been...

I recommend www.animeondvd.com for reviews.

If by "campaign" you mean a regularly scheduled game featuring an ongoing group of characters in a single setting and/or a series of connected adventures, I've been in several campaigns lasting 3 or more years.

So far the only non-PHB class I've played is the scout. But I'd definitely like to try some of the others when the opportunity presents itself. I'm particularly interested in the warmage and wu jen classes.

As a player I'll usually catch on to an influence/inspiration pretty quickly as long as it's something I'm familiar with. I have one GM whose adventures are always based on some book or tv show or movie. But he's fairly obvious about his influences. He usually wants us to know what the...

I voted "socializing", although "adventure" comes into it too. But if all my friends decided to stop RPGing I'd be okay with that as long as we continued having regular opportunities to hang out together.

I find it curious that your players are having a hard time keeping everything straight between just two different campaigns. I play in 3 ongoing campaigns currently and in the past have been involved in up to 6 campaigns, and never had that much trouble. I suppose it's a matter of getting...

About halfway through the second episode I turned to my fiancee and remarked that this was much better than the premiere episode. I've now heard several comments to the effect that the first episode they showed wasn't intended to be the pilot, although I don't know where people are getting...

We're back!! :D ____________________ From: Caelen Siorath Sharn Breland To my beloved Mother and Father; I regret that I'm not coming home to join in the fight against the Karrnathi. But something tells me that isn't the way to bring glory to my ancestor's name. I've been working with...

Letter #27 27 Reaping, Sefmir Dearest brother; As I told you in my last letter, we'd gone to the ruined temple of Kali at the behest of Sheik Azman. We'd encountered an earth elemental near the entrance and several of the shiek's men were badly hurt. Thor suggested that they remain at the...

A Dark Night Our host had joined me to observe what occurred in the fountain room. As whistles shrilled and iron bars clashed together to alert his servants of danger, he exclaimed that he must go to see to their safety. As he began to move down the corridor toward the stairs I fell in beside...

Sounds to me like he's one of those players who have to find something to complain about. If his dice mojo improves he'll rant about something else. :\
