    The Shackled City Pregame Thread

    Yup, I'm still interested! I'm not going to be able to put a character together right away, though ... but I should be able to do it before the weekend, for sure.

    Good puzzles

    I don't know if you'd count this as a 'puzzle', but I ran a campaign once where I tried to give the players themselves some extra challenges. For example, once I purchased a cheap, second hand lock-box at a flea market ... filled it with pennies that I'd painted gold and silver, plus a pair of...

    It's a Dragon Attack!

    To The Mind: I appreciate the thought, but I'm really not looking to pick up another book at this time. :( To XCorvis: I love the suggestion of the outdoor ambush ... I'm looking at probably 'old' to 'ancient'. I'm also trying to decide on whether there might be lesser creatures involved...

    funny happenings

    Here's one that still has us laughing to this day ... Back in the 1st edition days again (yes, I'm old!), we were very strict about the rule that said if you spoke the name of any of the greater powers from the outer planes, there'd be a 10% chance they'd hear you. We also played very strictly...

    It's a Dragon Attack!

    In 26 years of being a GM for D&D I've rarely used Dragons. I don't know why ... too cliche, maybe ... but I'm finding myself in the mood for one right now. So my players have been charged with a dragon hunt (a white)! But I'm concerned that with my lack of familiarity with dragons, I'm going...

    funny happenings

    Oh man ... I've got dozens ... let me share a quick one now and I'll try to come up with a few more later. WAAAAY back in the first edition days, our GM was taking us through D1: Descent into the depths of the earth, and the Jermlaine there were causing us quite a bit of trouble. Finally...

    Missing Players

    Blastin, that is awsome!! That is definitely something I'm going to consider ... To all the others, thanks for your replies. I've tried the black van thing but the local constabulary seems to frown up on it ... as do my player's wives. ;)

    Missing Players

    I'm wondering how the rest of you handle missing players in game. I'm not concerned about the players being more active, my players have been great. But finding a night when everyone can make it is not always practical or even realistic. But as DMs, how do you handle the missing player's PCs...

    The Shackled City Pregame Thread

    oops ... I didn't see your offer to turn the spot over. That's okay, I'm cool with being a stand-in for now, anyway. Do have fun!

    Is anyone out there?

    Nevermind. I just read the other thread and saw the game is already full. Sigh. Stupid non-internet access vacations. :(

    The Campaign OOC Thread

    Well at this point ... IF the game starts up again soon keep in mind that I'm going away for two weeks and won't have computer access until early August, but I'm still interested in playing. GR - You need to go to the bottom of the page when looking at the list of threads and change the display...

    Politics

    Political Intrigue has always been my weakest point in world-building. Unfortunately I think I've become known for my political leaders (whether they be Kings, or local Magistrates or what have you) being there as benificent, wisened figures with deep pockets just there to help a party in their...

    Thank you for this bit of raving, because after I read this I went back and downloaded Everyone Else and I love it! --Mark C'sigs

    Paranoid Players

    I would have sworn that my players were not paranoid ... but an event in my game last Saturday may have convinced me otherwise. One of the foes they're dealing with right now is a cult to a powerful demon ... but what the demon has done is set himself up as the lost patron god of mankind from...

    Is anyone out there?

    Hi all. I'm still here. I was enjoying the GMF very much, but when things seemed to slow down I became dependant on waiting for a notification of a new reply to either of the campaign threads. Now that I'm sitting here at my computer dealing with all the carnage I created in my own campaign...

    The GMF Campaign (The Dreams)

    Zanis eyes the group, and decides he must be missing out on something by not wearing the ring. Warily, he takes it back out of his pouch and hesitantly slips it onto his finger. @the group: "Tis against my better judgement to be trusting these dreams and this magical ring ... but then again if...
