    What is your favourite OotS moment?

    "You know, he'd be a pretty good warrior if he had a better head for numbers." http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0034.html Not the funniest, but maybe the truest.

    Dishes at the Tavern

    I saw this yesterday. It was actually a pretty interesting article. The neatest part is how the mideval theory of the four humours influenced dietics. Fish are cold and wet, so they should be baked (dry and hot). It makes total sense, man. It also says the common idea that europeans used...

    Would you be interested in a compromise to the miniatures-centric combat of D&D?

    Interested how? If someone wnated to run a game like that, I'd probably play it. Would I buy an OGL/d20 game advertised as D&D w/o the grid? Probably not. You could probably manage it as long as you were willing to play in "playtest" mode, and change things as they come up. D&D rules are...

    D&D 3.x Monk 3.5

    Awhile ago we had an game where every single party member fell into the same 10" pit. No one could make the jump or climb out. In the end we had to fly and summon monsters to haul us out. Decent ranks in climb/jump are always good.

    Can't get my head around the Hide skill

    Wouldn't he have to use an action to grab the stuff? It seems like he'd have to move, stop next to the stuff, then grab it. And would you even use combat rounds outside of combat?

    RPG humor on xkcd

    WOW. What a great comic. And I don't even get the math jokes...

    The one responsible for defense.

    Xini, if your'e the one with a sense of tactics and teamwork, YOU should be playing the party cleric. Seriously. Take over as party leader. Come up w/plans and give orders. Let ineffective/selfish characters die.

    What to do with a party that keeps dying?

    So, you're running four players through a notoriously difficult adventure meant for six characters? All the PCs are 28 pt buy and starting w/less than average wealth? They can only play the core classes, w/no barbarians, druids, or monks? Why so strict?

    What is your favourite OotS moment?

    "Well you could simply vanquish the current lead-" *slay living* "Done." http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0149.html

    Am I a villain?

    There. Now you're a villain.

    Has complexity every worked for you as a DM?

    If you have a natural tendency to make complicated plots, like I do, it's real easy to overload and confuse your players. I had to learn to keep it in check. Now I start a game out pretty simple and let the players mess things up to their taste.

    EN World New GMs, players, read the first post in this thread! (updated 5/21)

    I've statred recruiting for a Star Wars all-Jedi game. 4-6 players. We'll use Mutants and Masterminds rather than SWd20 or SWd6. More here.

    [recruiting] Star Wars, All Jedi Adventure

    Making characters will be pretty simple. I’ve already cooked up all the Jedi powers, so all you gotta do is spend your points where you want ‘em. That means you’ll all be pretty similar, what with the TK and the deflecting energy blasts -- but that’s Jedi for ya. For sure, personality will...

    [recruiting] Star Wars, All Jedi Adventure

    I’ve been thinking about running a Star Wars adventure. I play in a couple of RL D&D games, but they’re pretty sporadic, and I’m a player in all of them. Lately, I’ve had the old “DM’s itch.” (You know the one.) So I thought I might run some old SW adventures I wrote awhile back, but this...

    D&D 4E Star Wars Saga Edition as preview of 4e?

    One thing about switching saves to defenses is it works differently w/any sort of action point system or reroll ability. If a PC doesn't get to roll a save, he can't boost it up with an Action Point. I've GMd games using Players Roll All The Dice, and it puts more power/options in the...
