I'm going to go by an old FASA system that is based on skills from 0-100 (100 being the highest.) 0-10 Passing familiarty or basic instruction. (Basic high school equivalency). 11-20 Formal instruction or infrequent use of skill. (Advanced High School or other types of instruction.)...

Awww come on now...it didn't effect the flow of the game and you guys got it in the next session. Besides, the looks on your faces when you figured it out was priceless. OK...so maybe I could have handled it better as the DM, but then again I had no idea you guys spelled it wrong or had the...

How about this....it turns out there are some really nice people out there. A few years ago I bought into the pitch from Apple computers and I switched. A few months later after being totally disenchanted with my decision, I switched back. It was time to sell my iBook on eBay and I got a...

A no brainer for me. In one small blue folder I have some prized items from the dawn of my role playing existence. Inside is my first ever D&D character hand written on graph paper. There is also material from my first Star Trek RPG game. There are ship sheets and character info, rules...

Years ago I worked for a library system in Marietta, Ohio. We retired the old card catalogs in all of our branches to make way for a computer system. That left something on the order of a couple million typed 3X5 cards to dispose of. I grabbed a couple thousand and took them home. The are...

I had a guy in my group once play the most disgusting halfling ever created. He was SHORT, like 2'4" or in that range, small for even a halfling. He had a self groomed mohawk and was into self mutilation. His face was one massive scar from his constant clawing at it. He wore a chain shirt...

The game began with the group in a precarious position. With Kelm under guard inside Gerendeen’s shop by a troupe of Knights in Silver, the others scrambled for a plan to free him. After a quick conference, Heidegar climbed back ontot he roof to lower the unconscious Drugas to the ground while...

Our session started with a trip back to Rhyester’s Matins and a quick talk with Daycutter. The group was concerned about a lack of healing abilities with the loss of Rayne from the party, and wondered if perhaps their benefactor could help the situation. Agreeing that the loss of those talents...

The battle in the park at an end, Rayne and Trog immediately moved to get Daycutter out of the open and into a more secure location. The goblin and mysterious woman who came to the group’s aid also followed. Evan and Kelm remained to wait for the city guard, and were relieved by none other than...

Last we met, we started with Peregrin receiving a visitor in the night that only serves to deepen the mystery of the key and the history of his one time mentor, Lurr. The old teacher had made it to the tavern half dead with a disease eating the flesh from his body. As he lay on the floor heaving...

The story with Daycutter takes up as the group was coming back from an adventure south of their starting village, a place in the Nethyr Mountains called Silverset. On the road home, they heard the sounds of a fight in the road ahead. Springing to action, they saw a man in the road garbed in...

This isn't so much a story hour as it is a rundown of what has been happening in each of our sessions. I post these on our group's web board, but thought I would share. The first section takes place right after the intro game, a side trek that has nothing to do with the overall story. I wrote...

Funny, but I did this last weekend. I just borrowed my parents old camcorder and went on a walking tour of the apartment. I did a sort of running commentary on what I had, etc. Next time I go home the tape will go into their fire proof safe. I am also going to do a tape of their place and...

My CPU is a neural-net processor--a learning computer. I'm married to a Kennedy, drive a HUMVEE and am Governor of California.

Did you ever hit that stride as a DM where you were having so much fun ploting and scheming and writing and generally screwing with your player's minds that you wished you could play for more than a few hours a week a couple times a month? I have hit one of those strides in the last month and...

My first year in college some friends had talked about it, and when some people in my dorm said they were starting a group I asked to join. That campaign lasted about a year and a half and even after I left college I still drove the 45 miles each weekend to play. My name for this board is...

Nice little hat with feathers decorating the rim. Never underestimate the power of a well placed Quaal's feather token, 60' tree! Those things can cause serious headaches in close quarters. "Nice hallway, but not very roomy." *KA-WHAM!* :) hmmm....what else.... A bag of holding daiper...

I got into a situation like this as a DM way back in 2e. My solution was to say to my players, "OK...if it ain't in the PH, DMG or MM, it ain't allowed." Problem solved. That's the great part about being a DM.
