    [DM Issue] - How would you have handled this?

    You did the right thing. You're not psychic and he will be more precise in the future. Equally, he did the right thing by disagreeing and moving on.

    Does age matter?

    Age does not matter to me. I believe that playing with people of all ages can introduce some interesting things at the table. Personal stability, however, does matter. I'm 34 with two daughters under five. I recruit my player's using the internet. I'm as cautious as I can be about who gets...

    What is fresh in fantasy?

    I always read about how fantasy is stagnant and certain themes are way overused. What have you recently read that struck you as fresh, innovative, or just plain cool? Tormenet (P.S.- I ask this as a DM who is always looking for new ideas to incorporate into my homebrew.)

    What world would you like to play in?

    C.S Friedman's world in Dark Sun Rising. A place where magic responds to your emotions and desires, where your nightmares take form and you must kill them. Loved it.

    Have you ever killed a player by mistake?

    The PC’s found a slaver camp, expected to raid it and get stuff. Instead, everyone inside was expired or raving. In an underground chamber the party found a perfect ten-foot black circle on the ground with all inside obliterated. The scene included a man whose half inside the circle was gone...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Easy. My original character conception is dried dire rat feces at this point. After Garrick's passing I created Quintus so fast I had no clue how to play him. I did like that Steve, whose character Marcus had also just died, and I decided to make our new PC's brothers. That's been fun. I...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Quintus is in. I'm not sure if I pointed this out to the annoying chruchmen (I think I did), but their Berylian Edicts sound alot like the Shadowlord's philosophy. From the Faded Glory intro: "The Race War came fast on the heels of the Shadow-Plague and the humans of Emor turned upon the...

    Sword and Sandals Campaign Settings?

    My homebrew is based on the Afghanistan region after Alexander's generals squabbled. The influences are Afghan, Persian, Indian, Parthian, and Hellenistic Greek. I'd be glad to send you the Player's Guide. If that interests you I can send you the more filled out DM's version. The link below...

    Weapon Kin PRC for critique

    Weapon Kin (It came up in my campaign that we might need to bond a PC to a weapon. This is my vision for my homebrew. The weapon has magic bonuses, features of a familiar, and gives access to domain powers. Frank opinions are very welcome.) Among the Present Reality’s craftsmen are a few...

    Guild/Organization Stat Blocks

    In Dragon #315 on pg. 24 they give a stat block for an organization called the Defilers of Ka. Does anyone know where I can find the details for setting up these stat blocks? It seems like a simple way to reformat several organizations in my campaign that exist on way too many separate...

    Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

    Speaking as Quintus's player: I think more nervous, uncertain glances were shooting around the table than smiles. The one time I made a lot of coin in this campaign I immediately spent it rescuing my companions. Plus, we were forced to go from slogging in Oar’s sewers to slogging in a worse...
