    What happens to all that positive energy?

    A man called bruce was once exposed to a positive energy reactor. He went all big and green and found a strong desire to smash things. His D&D size category is large, but he insists on Hulk.

    What ruins a campaign?

    All players plus dm going to seperate universitys... Kinda stoped the campain pretty quick. :( And games where the players are more concerned with killing each other, ending in the first session with a cry of "We all die here!" and a sack full of alchemists fires in a potion shop. That...

    Bad DM'ing night

    Meh... I've done worse. Accidently let the 'big bad plot line' slip in the second session. Oops. Meant that five planed adventures suddenly were far too obvious and kinda spoiled it all. Like reading a book backwards. :\ I also once let a Cr 8 undead with death gaze (a Bodak or something I...

    Which Is The Stronger Character Class - Sorcerer or Wizard?

    I'd say when done right, with carefully picked spells takeing others and future levels into acount, a sorcerer is the definate winner in power. And with the right spells a sorcerer can have some nice abilites. With invisibilty they can disapeer almost any time they feel, with fly they can get...

    If you were a Beholder.........what would you ask of my players?

    How about amoung other the stuff, something quite mundane and aparrently wothless, but strange enough to make them really suspicous. Ask for a cut of hair from each of them, or even from everybody in the nearest town. No idea what it'd want it for, but thats what the players would wonder. :)...

    Help with Sorcerer & survival!

    It might be a little tough not to specialise as a sorcerer, simply due to how their spell selection works. Try to consider spells carefuly and how much you'll actually use them. With my sorcerer I found there were severel spells which would be really cool at times, but were likey to be barely...

    The popularity of monsters

    Im quite shocked at how few I've used. Gotta play more. :uhoh: The most used monsters so far is the simple orc and lowly goblin, but for the most part only the stats. I've used the same goblin stat block, with only very slight changes, for three different cretures in one game. The players...

    Solo Players - All Alone

    Thanks guys, very helpful stuff. The game will be in my own future setting (which has existed in my head long before I thought of it for a RP game), and knowing the player I imagine he'll go for a wandering rogue like character, slightly Han-Solo style. If I know him he'll launch straight into...

    Solo Players - All Alone

    I've been long time thinking about a special campaign for one friend, and been semi planning it while running my current game. Anyone DM'd for or played in a game with only one player? What do you need to think about when planning a campaign like this? My idea is that NPCs would fill in time to...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    From one i played in. Small vilage, monsters comeing from the river, the lvl party goes to sort it. Some creatures resembling aquatic dolphins are found and the rouge and ranger start takeing opportunistic shots at them. The monk decides he is more useful in melee, even if his opponents are in...

    Gnomes vs. Halflings - Demihuman genocide!

    Gnomes are cool, but somehow they very often get forgoten. I once realised that there only seemed to about 10 gnomes in my entire campain world, and no gnome towns or anything. My worlds packed full of halflings, which have kinda became the joint dominant race alongside humans. I actually...

    Wound / vitality system pros

    I've been considering a useing VP/WP system, but one thing that always seems a bit odd is how more damaging weapons do more against vitality. Eg, Bob gets shot at with average pistol, takes 7 points vitality damage, is ok. or, Bob gets shots at with desert eagle, takes 8 on vitality, 1 on...

    How about . . . X-Com Apocylapse

    I've so far been thinking about baseing the face huggers very closely on stirges, giveing them the same easy attach method. I was thinking of haveing them take two rounds once attached before they take control. That way there is time to get them off, but if you don't act quickly then they can be...

    Help me populate a 400-person village.

    Sara You choose age, perhaps a classmate? Cara loves storys and has a very active imagination. Some say over active. She thinks of and writes or draws her own imaginary world, populating it with those around her but giveing them slight differences. She behaves to others acording to her...

    Dog Moon's Creatures [Updated 10-05-13]

    Bookmarked! :) My fav is probably the paper golem. I've printed it out and its waiting in my folder ready to attack my players. Hmm, could use it in game too...

    I present.... Thorn Elemental!

    Looks good, and I can just imagine this thing thrashing through some overgrown forest. Some of it seems quite like my old 'coin elemental'; animated by a Ravid and based partly on a wind elemental. I gave the PCs an easy option to drop it down a hole, but as I knew they would they took the risk...

    Help me populate a 400-person village.

    Hmm, loads of interesting characters, and loads of magical types too. But you can always choose your favourites from them. With the PCs being the last to be 'dug up', that means that other than new children born all the others will be as old or older yes? Well, heres something pulled from my...

    Stupidest things PCs/DMs have done

    At the begining of a campain. One player had came a good hour or two early to help with something, and I decided he could do a bit of solo stuff before the others arrived. His rogue character was suposed to be the one greeting the other PCs to the city, and was going to act as a kind of guide...

    How about . . . X-Com Apocylapse

    My brother got an 'X-Com Gold' pack or something like that for cristmas long ago, had 5 games. UFO, Terror from the Deep, Apocalypse, Interceptor, and some X-Com email thing which never worked. Should have played them more while they still agreed with our computer. Now they don't seem to agree...
