    Large Group Campaigns

    Eleven active players here.... 1. Definitely enforce the "one person describing their actions at a time" rule, and assure everyone that they'll get their "turn". 2. At your end, make sure your NPCs are fleshed out with spells, special abilities, stats, everything, right at your fingertips. 3...

    Gargamel vs. the Smurfs

    I really don't have anything important or relevant to add, I just thought that, given my name, I was morally obligated to post something, you know? :lol: La, la, la-la-la-DUUUUHHHHHH!!!

    Tickled To Death?

    This thread reminds me of a conversation I had with a buddy of mine recently: Me: I dunno, to me, tickling is something with sexual overtones to it, sometimes overt, sometimes subtle, bu always there in one degree or another. Friend: Baloney. You just have a dirty mind. Me: Oh really? How many...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    Call me a cantankerous specimen of elder flatulence, but Cthulhu d20 does Jack and Diddly for me, and Jack left town. The "classic" Cthulhu system is simple enough that the rules don't get in the way of all that down-home madness and horror that makes the game worth playing. I prefer my madness...

    Anyone buy this new Drow mappy thingy?

    Wait! That's it!!! Drow Apes! Apes of the Drow! Imagine a race of underground Apes that may or may not have been the evolutionary stock from which the Drow evolved! Yes! Drow Apes, with their mighty leader Dahr-Wyn, and their high priest, Khonng. We could also have Drow Chimps that fling Drow...

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    I'm a big HPL fan as well. And speaking of that circle of writers, I know that often times HP and friends would insert slightly altered versions of each other's names into their stories as the protagonists. For instance, one of Lovecraft's stories has "Robert Blake". ;) Naturally, I can't...

    Anyone buy this new Drow mappy thingy?

    OK, as soon as I read this post, all I could think of was "Oy, and the drow, with the icky spidery crawly things, and the crossbows with the poison, and the sleeping and the knocked out thing! Nice Drow lady, hoil! Freunlayven! :lol:

    TSR Q&A with Gary Gygax

    I get a kick out of finding out behind the scenes stuff like this. Thanks, Gary! Incidentally, for the longest time, whenever I saw an illustration of a mind flayer, the phrase "Cthulhu fthgan" would run through my head ;)

    Running Gags

    Years ago, I ran FASA's Star Trek: The Roleplaying Game for my group. We had a nice, solid, thriving campaign set on a Constitution class vessel, the USS Valiant (NCC1718), set around the time of Star Trek II:Wrath of Khan. During one mission, the crew encountered a threat of some sort, and one...

    Let's Write a Bad Module

    QUESTION: I like the goatee thing, but are there any other classic symptoms of evil? For instance, does the evil version of the party leader now wear a sash around his waist and a gold vest? And do all of the women now have short skirts, exposed midriffs, and thigh-high boots with a dagger in...

    Dm:ing a paladin?

    Good response! Well, mercy and kindness are "good" qualities, and if a paladin embraces all that is good, then mercy and kindness can, mind you, CAN be a part of his/her repertoire. It can also be a matter of degrees. Maybe all paladins favor the idea of healing the sick and feeding the poor...

    Dm:ing a paladin?

    Paladins are my favorite class both to play and to adjudicate. Here's the rules I follow: 1. Paladins don't only destroy evil, they promote good. A few gold pieces for the poor, laying on hands to Cure Disease on a sick beggar in an alleyway, sharing a meal with a hungry family, a few words of...

    I need help with out of control Quentin Tarantino-esque gangster characters!

    This brilliant solution could certainly be used to solve more than one player problem, I'd wager. It's elegant AND hysterical. Oh, so he likes Tarantino movies, huh? OK fine. Give him what he wants. Have his character pulls up to this strip bar that's actually the top part of an Aztec pyramid...
