Your DM has silly issues with law. In medieval times, Law meant whoever was strong enough and willing enough to enforce some form of behaviour. Now, chaotic in this sense means unwilling to enforce your own set of laws for whatever reason. Did you act contrary to your characters ideas of...

I have no real problem integrating magic with tech - one of my longest running campaigns had a bunch of barbarians and savages exploring the taboo land; an ancient city with a rather impressive amount of fallout. These things can be interesting, but only if the setting allows them. It's a ton...

I second Godlike. I played a highly enjoyable campaign set in various Aussie campaigns. My Players loved every minute of it. Dice mechanics are interesting. It's stat+skill, but basically you try to get pairs (or triples) or whatever. A pair is a success and depending on the number you succeed...

You see, theres such a focus on the incredible abilities of the martial artists - I want knights on the back of horses bouncing off water and doing the wire-fu sword/shield stuff.

Depends on the campaign. To be honest, I work in punishments and rewards. I punish: Deliberate breaking mood comments Out of character/metagame discussion and thinking. (Hey Nick (player), go and disarm the trap that is bound to be there.) :):):):):):) behaviour in game. (Haven't had much of...

have a look around; my gf ran a transformers game and came across an optimus class and a megatron class that represents them perfectly.

Crowds. The problem with starting in villages is that PC's aren't stopped by things. You quite seriously have to limit the PC's movements in some way to make them feel claustrophobic, closed in. My suggestion is to read some Thieves World books. 1. A bad way to do this is through making...

Thanks for the intelligent posting, guys. A further point; most people seem to agree that things are becoming more cinematic in their game. I know personally that for certain (read - epic, LOTR style games) I even use film terminology. "We open with a slow, wide panning shot of the snow...

I was just reading the Anime thread and a poster mentioned that there's a generation gap in RPGs - the older gamers being S+S junkies and the newer ones being anime/LOTR visual junkies. I was just thinking - are games changing due to this generation gap? Do we have a marked explosion in a more...

Still, the most effective wizards I've played (and seen played) tend to be specialist wizards who drop evocation in a hurry. Nothing wrong with wizards with the normal spell list. But a themed wizard is more interesting than a colourless mage anyway. Those spells are the spells of adventuring...

Whats that fry quote? "I've found that happiness lies in things, not people."

GM's always get the chicks. It's that awesome power... combined with the responsibility for whole kingdoms... Or just the man that makes her feel that way. When she gets experience I mean.

Pretty much depends on campaign. We had a WoT game once (prophecies of the Dragon) where a fair few bad guys wreaked havoc amongst the PCs for ride-by-attacking, splitting PC's, mounted charges with lances and so on. Lets just say our PC's tended toward ambush or flight to unridable terrain...

My AoW campaign had a great character (sadly deceased in his second combat) who was a cleric of Kalashtor, God of death, slaughter, evil and autumn. The PC was of a particular faction that hated the notion of any undead; undead being creatures that defied Kalashtor's ultimate annihilation...

My suggestion is to go game again and see if the showboating continues. If the PC's continuously get handed stuff they can't handle and then get saved by NPC's.. I don't know if I'd enjoy that. I've always thought the best thing an NPC can do is give a clue, followed by dramatically die and...

Thanks chief - but the game already has been and gone. It went pretty much according to schedule. Lots of steam and spark factories and they never got to directly face Vader in combat, but running from him through a factory of giant cogs is cool enough. The bit where they attacked a troopship...

Wildshaped druid. Seriously? The duskblade. It's frightening.

Hey guys, I'm asking for help. I've had half my players cancel for my normal game due to life issues. (Bodgy life never helped anyone.) Anyway I went out of my brain and said I'd do a one shot star-wars game with three PCs. Plot so far - A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY... 3...

I don't understand the context of a technical problem as the basis of an adventure. All of my games revolve around some form of interaction. Please give me an example; if you pose a problem to me in astrophysics, you really can't complain when I haven't got a clue. If on the other hand you need...

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll borrow a friends Feng Shui; he mentions the martial/arts sorcery stuff may be what I'm looking for if I don't bother with the time travelling uber monks from the future bit. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions!
