    How big are your house rule changes?

    Only one small change to combat and skills. No changes to feats, but a few have been added. Lots of additions to basic PC races (over 20). Magic rules have been adjusted, but more concerning individual spells rather than the spell list, rules per casting, etc.

    How Often Does Your Group Level?

    Aprox every three months at lower levels (under 12th). I love the pacing, as it gives me lots of time for them to work on plots. Adventures are essentially missions, and I give out bonuses for completing these missions or personal goals. But they also get adventure and RP rewards.

    Baatorian Green Steel

    Which is exactly what I have done in my campaign world. Works great, especially for players who recognize it from previous planescape gaming.

    Why don't you buy modules?

    I don't buy them for a variety of reasons listed in the thread. First of all, there are so many free adventures online, I don't have the time to use them all. The ones that are written are not paced in the manner I want and don't fit the game style my players like. But the biggest reason is...

    D&D 4E 4e-when do you want it?

    2012. As late as possible, with as many variations and supplements put out between now and then. Unless, they give us a downloadable pdf version, so I would only need my laptop to play. I would accept that maybe as early as 2007.

    Favorite way to begin a game?

    Way to begin a campaign Hired ahead of time for a mission. It gives PCs a sense of purpose and direction. Some of them may know each other but not all of them will. They can ask questions about the area and their mission. Their sense of loyalty to each other will come from being in danger and...

    What is your favorite Star Wars film?

    I LOVED all of the movies. My favourite is ESB. Then SW: ANH. But I also loved PM and AOTC...there were scenes in both of those movies that made my jaw drop open. The first ten minutes of AoTC, were IMVHO the best in the entire series, bar none. My least favorite, has always been RoTJ. Not sure...

    Is D&D a lifestyle for you?

    What happens when a character dies in your campaign?

    3rd level if the other characters are between 3 - 6. 5th level if the others are from 7-10, etc... This way they are at the same power level but are still able to contribute.

    Are DMs better players?

    Bad DMs = terrible players. Good DMs usually = better players. But it depends on why they are playing. If they are playing because the group wants a change, I find they can be a pain in the ass. If they want to be a player, yeah, they are usually amazing because they can role play. For a long...

    Yes, many times an encounter can have a drasticly different turn of events depending upon if a PC knows a given language. For instance, many times dwarfs or minotaurs when speaking with strangers will use the common tongue but assume that the PCs are ignorant of their own. Also, certain...

I want to institute a method of giving extra or alternative experience points for their creativity and superb moments of either co-operation or role-playing. Here are a few ideas I...
