    Slower, Cheaper Potions

    rather than slower potions Druids on my world can create one potion per level above 5th. However, theirs are naturally brewed and have the same effects as magical ones. The only catch, they have a duration. Few potions last more than two weeks. They are ideal ways for druids to influence some...

    Yet another DM problem (*sigh*)

    DMing is about helping players have FUN and enjoy the game, not being on a power-trip. Your DM is a jerk. Unless he's family, kick him out at least for a few sessions until he realizes, the only treasure gained by playing the game is the friendship and comraderie among the players. Life is...

    Psionics Opinion

    I've always thought psionics were fun, but if wizards, sorcerors and psions use the same spells - what's the point! It's a slight change of flavour, when I want a different meal entirely. There are some interesting variations in IFCK but they are essentially a type of wizards. Psionics fit into...

    Should a DM assume your character does something?

    Although I haven't done this in a while, let the players decide upon an announcer. Then the rule is, what the party announcer says goes until the PC states otherwise. If the player doesn't hear what the announcer states, or if they didn't discuss it, that's between the players as they didn't...

    How do you challenge a flying PC?

    Reply to Celebrim "Sounds like you are in the camp of 'Evil is better than Good'. How tiresome." There is huge difference between playing good characters and playing a paragon of holiness. In a world of evil, non-adventuring entities look to such heros with elevated expectations. Saints are...

    How do you challenge a flying PC?

    flying PC If the PC actually uses the wings to fly, it would be a great strain thus limit him to five minutes a day per constitution point if he's just normally flying from point A to point B. Limit that even more if he's using those wings in battle, perhaps the spread would be five rounds per...

    Save the world? No thanks.

    To epic or not to Epic... There are many styles of games and gamers. Power gaming or min/maxing is certainly one type, and a lot of gamers enjoy it. I gave up running those long ago, simply because, in order to be a game the end result can never be known or taken for granted, if it is, the PC's...

    GM Techniques

    my style My DMing style is to give players lots of choice, then bombard them with details along with danger upon danger. I try to use props whenever I can, and will often use pictures and images off the net. My old group used models, but I've really found them unnecessary with 3rd edition. I...

    And here it is....the WotC contest Delay.

    Common World Themes "I've been skimming a lot of threads on different sites and have come up with the following common world themes..." Sometimes to be truley unique, you can't be afraid to go past the familiar. These motifs are there, because, we as readers and players enjoy them. They embody...

    Help with Alignment Bookkeeping

    Drop Alignment The Alignment system is pretty arbitrary. A CG will do exactly the same in an evil society (i.e. fight injustice) as a LG will do in a good one. Remember KISS - Keep it simple, sarge! Use a vow system, LG characters keep their own vows. A CG will break laws and have vows that...

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    my submission After sending in three different submissions, I can not believe how nervous I am about the choices I made. Trying to decide what not to include is sometimes harder then what to include... It's a challenge to think a given idea works because as the owner and DM, I know how to use...

    It's about...THE GAME

    I'll tell ya folks what this contest is all about... It's not about font size. It's not about word count. It's not about a "cool" cover letter. It's not about staples over using a paper clip. It's not about being a well known industry "professional" It's not about rehashing the same old...
