I thought I'd take my chances with the dice rolling option, but I didn't end up nearly as lucky as The Mind. That's okay, sometimes it's fun to play the character that has deficiencies ... :) rolls found here: http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Zanis%20Hammersing#155015...

Wow, I love the idea of the converging cubes! Going to use that at some point soon ... I'd initially hoped to trap my players in a dead end with my cube, but they did me one better. They actually managed to get the party split up by the cube! They opened the door into the hallway and saw the...

Do you know if your Paladin is returning? If not, I'd love to step into the sixth spot. I can make a character Saturday morning. --Mark C'sigs

Thanks for the good words, guys ... Actually, while it sounds very heroic, remember these were two relatively powerful mages ... so while they had their defenses up, neither one was terribly proficient at combat, so it went more something like this: Wizard 1: a 14 ... DM: You miss. I get an...

I'd be really interested in getting in on my first PbP if there's room for a newbie. Ultimately I think I'd like to run one, but I think it'd be better if I played in one or two first so I a better feel for it. I've read through some of the games in the main room, but I don't think I came...

I had a campaign where from literally the first adventure, the PCs had a group of evil NPCs that dogged their every step. Every time the PCs got the upper hand, the NPCs would find a way to escape. They loved 'hit and run' tactics. When it came time where we decided we were ending the...

I did think of one twist on an iconic creature that I used years ago ... The characters ranged between 5th and 7th level, and I put them up against a small cadre of kobolds. The players were having a blast mowing down the hopelessly overmatch creatures, and I played it up by describing the...

This is one of those great posts that is so thorough, and so complete that there's almost nothing to add! All I can say is I've found my prepared lists of NPCs to be invaluable. And mostly they're just NPC ideas with names, not fully fleshed out character sheets. That's not necessary unless...

This is a great post! I could comment on every point you make, but I'm just going to pick a couple to reinforce ... NPC preparation is even more important in 3e, I find. It was one thing to be able to throw out a random class (and/or kit) and then just focus on personality traits, but now...

I just used a Gelatanous Cube against my party last night! What fun. To your list I'd add the Piercer, the Roper, the Water Weird and the "I wouldn't exist if it wasn't for adventurers" Rust Monster. I'm not yet particularly inspired to update one, but I'm going to be giving it some thought...

Awesome!! This is the culmination of a life-long dream ... well, okay the culmination of a minutes-long whim ever since I noticed there was a GM's Foundation. But I am happy to be here and looking forward to participating. I've been a GM for 26 years and figure I still have a lot to learn and...

Are you accepting new members here?

Hello everybody! My brother first told me about this place, so I thought I'd give it a lurk. Seems like you have a really interesting group of people and I hope I can contribute. About me? I've been playing D&D so long that my first boxed set came with 'chits' instead of dice. I'm usually...
