I think I'd like some advice. Perhaps we all need some advice some times. The advice I would ask to more experienced GM's would be this; how do I have a long standing campaign? Most of my campaigns involve a short series, generally between one and five sessions to wrap up a plotline. When...

In my recent Conan game one of the players decided not to show up for that campaign, though she had vastly enjoyed all other campaigns I ran. It was simply a change of stride; Racism, sexism and brutality are common in that world - my subsequent descriptions of gore (As reccomended by the Conan...

Just wanted to tell everyone about the coolest game in the world. In the past you may vaguely remember that I've played a Godlike (Supers/WW2) game from the position of a 10 man squad in Tobruk. That campaign started and ended successfully with aggressive patrols, dust storms, stuka bombings...

You know, my first game I spent about two to four hours on prep time. My first few years of DMing were much the same. Sometimes I succeeded. Other times I failed. But one thing I've managed to do is cut my time to less than an hour. This is how: Make it up on the spot. Okay, so I know a...

Added one of Cu Chulaind's riddles, though not one close to his heart. Interesting character he is. Pity what happens to him.

Working on it. Update, for whoever might glance. You may note I took down the whole story; this is because I've decided that my way of writing (Epic prosody or whatever) simply isn't what I was trying to do. This way I'll write a full story, not simply write the exploits of the characters...

a time of HIGH ADVENTURE! Try this. Remove evocation. Remove magic items. Except ones you want the players not to want. Vast landscapes. Serve.

I remember the game Arcanum - one of the characters was called Gar - Garfield Thelonius the Third or something. An orc.. of pure human stock. And he liked tea, and spoke as a proper imperialist would. Think less of his race - I'd suggest using a human for his stats, though - and more of how...

Fighter, possible fighter-monk if a more physical or Ki-style is the intended samurai. Paladin does well enough as well. Got to love that feeling in western society that samurai were the best fighters EVAR and Ninja's were the best rogues EVAR. Geez. Pride in ones history is a good thing...

Dwarven wizard, not sorcerer. I had one once. He survived. He kicked arse. He had a war-axe. Oh, rid yourself of evocation. Go either necromancer or illusionist. So far the best it's not funny.

I.33 I can't believe that noone has posted this yet. http://www.thearma.org/Manuals/i33/i33.htm German fighting monks. That doesn't cover what your after, though. My suggestion; have 'Monks' as members of religious orders as Clerics or Fighters. That is, if you have no divine favor. So get...

I'm finally about to begin preparation for my Godlike game. Some may vaguely remember my previous game; 1941 Tobruk. Our stalwart Aussies managed to stave off ZE GERMANS until help came. After some R + R time, the team, consisting of at various times Sargeant Barry 'Sarge' Holden, Bertram...

Seeking some willing gamers (I'm 20, anything over 16 is good) to join an ongoing group for tuesday day or saturday day games. Tuesdays can be a mishmash of anything, but I'll be starting a fairly non-serious Mutants and Masterminds game set in the 30's for then. Saturdays are a...

I have an idea that I'd like people to give their opinions/experiences on. Basically I have a long running campaign *Blatant plug starts here* which has it's begginings on my Riddle of Ku Khulaid story hour here on the boards. Which you should read. And say things. *Blatant plug ends*...

Words to live by I think. I just forked out 50 dollars for Ars Magica. And regret it, despite it being a good game and all. The chance of me playing it is low. I was just about to swear to never buy another book when I read this thread. *so swears* Homebrew all the way! I keep: Call of...

*so there tomorrow.* I might finally be able to pick up a 3.5 players handbook! I can't believe I never bought it. I'm the main DM! Ahh well. I'll be going in for it tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!

Whether your reading this, I should just say to go out and have some fun. Roleplayings about fun. Try different things. Roleplaying may not be the only thing plagueing you, though as a DM it can be a stressful occupation. Come back when you want to do it. Life's too short to not have fun.

Current campaign: rather gritty to be honest. Sex: Glossed over. More 'Assuming it happens' more than anything else. Drugs: Most of the characters are half drunk most of the time and completely pissed in town. Various lotus wines and powders are taken whever they are rich enough to afford such...
