    Elizabethan character classes and races?

    Mark: Not only do you steal my name, you beat me to the witty suggestion! :D Seriously, this sounds cool. But make all humans similar. And things are a bit too nasty for swashbucklers at the early period - we still have large and nasty scots hanging about and being grumpy and such. Why not be...

    Monty Haul games...a virus that players seem to catch

    My first campaign, they all found three of the swords of alignment. Finding myself in an untenable situation (They found everything too easy) I tried to take them away, or neuter them through games with political intrigue. God, I sucked. When my friend DM'd, he loved rolling treasure tables...

    Traveller - Cowboy Bebop style (Full)

    Obviously my geekery is not l33t enough for some people. Jeez! :D I'm planning on Traveller T20, a d20 system. Just not in the traveller universe. Traveller is basically a system for hard-scienceish space roleplaying. I'm new to Traveller as a general thing, so I thought some bounty hunting...

    Traveller - Cowboy Bebop style (Full)

    (Music - American Money plays.) *Man in silly cowboy outfit shows on screen, posing with large breasted assistant.* Punch: Heya, Cowboys! Welcome to the new and improved Big Shot Show! Judy: *Cute voice* Now, bigger *is* better! More bounties, more of the information, and more... *Arrow...

    I wanna be a GM! How do I start?

    Have a go, be fair, and be evocative. Don't think GMing is an art. Like most art, it's just correct application of skill for the right audience. Have fun!

    I have developed wisdom: I recognize my shoddy workmanship.

    Everyone knows I suck. My two failed story hours are testament to that. However, It's funny how much worse I used to be. When you get older, you really do level up.

    Fair warning??

    Fair warning? I mean, whats the point? Sure, DM's I know tend not to have every other mook a necromancer with finger of death. But if they enter a wizards castle.. what do they expect? I sort of wonder what constituates fair warning. If it's sort of obvious (It's a vastly powerful necromancers...

    "A reward beyond your wildest dreams!"

    I also tend to make players in long-lasting campaigns deal in the silver piece. And poor. It actually makes stealing the cutlery make sense. And the risk of raiding dungeons make sense. It's raid or starve; they haven't any other skills but killing or tomb-raiding in some respect. Adventurers...

    DMing terrain well

    I find that my descriptive passages tend to be better after I've gone somewhere. While it's nothing special, there's often small walks around cliffs pretty much anywhere, often with some pretty nice views. Here's an anecdote of my geeky ways. I was wandering up a hill on a path five feet wide...

    Paladin Inspirations

    You might try the paladin to be anyone of a slightly martial bent, chosen by a god. I once played a Monk on a pilgramage to a shrine to his god with class levels of Paladin. He had a brown robe, a tonsured head, and a code of goodness and faithfulness over smiting of evil. (Though his god was...

    God of War, dungeons, and my game

    While not so mythical, any amount of pigs bones could do as a relic in a hurry. And often did.

    Starcraft and d20 Future

    What a cool, cool idea. I had it a few weeks ago and didn't want to go to a lot of trouble. I was all keen until it came to making the mechs and such. I was thinking that I could probably set it up easier with Grim Tales than anything else though, though I thought it was much like D20 Modern...

    Starting a Campaign in media res?

    I love using this technique. It often does require the "Wait and see" technique. Some like it, others don't. All of my current players like it. I've done it a number of times, each time memorable and exciting. Godlike - I started a bunch of ten talents in the middle of a German outpost.. after...

    GM Dilemma

    I've had parties that have a hard time working together, but in an arthurian game thats a bit much. In future, I suggest you mention exactly what characters they can play. But as spider said, run with it. You have an excellent opportunity to adventure without rather chivalric ideas stopping...

    Project: Zarathustra

    Wow. Is anyone reading at all? Hundred and thirty views and one post :D. BTW, I'd like comments and criticisms. It's always good to have a cheap thrill. But tune in tonight, same Project time, same Project Channel.. for the next part of Project: Zarathustra: We do Bad Things to People And...

    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    They say every writer gets a cheap thrill out of unwarranted praise. Give me some unwarranted praise. For Sep I give the real stuff! Excellent work!

    Will the best knight (class) step forward?

    Baize: I'd probably disagree. That LoE class fits with the rest of the classes in there, but is more powerful than the standard fighter due to it's increased hit dice. On mounts, that Knight goes absolutely bonkers. However, the prestige classes are very interesting. Try building a fighter up...

    One cool place from your campaign

    The Forgotten City of Atlacha-Zerith. Sounds rather Howard. It's basically a broken city, the most powerful of all that was cast down by it's own hedonism and corruption, culminating in "The power of a thousand suns". It's a metropolis of broken glass half hidden by tainted water, under a sky...

    Tell me about Blue Rose

    Croathian: That's a nasty tongue you have there, accusing me of being a terrible GM when you've never met me. There are three situations in which adventuring in the country of Aldis is exciting. When something goes wrong (Which, mind you, could happen all the time and make an interesting...
