    D&D conversation in the style of... [game]

    I shall now crush your mortal minds with a blast of pure thought that will resound through the land and leave you a quivering shell of.....oh....why Mr. Paladin! Those shoes are just DARLING! Do they have them in a size 5? another.... HAHA!!! I got your nose! See how plainly I hold it in...

    Using the Command spell

    Used against a warrior in a great closed faced helm, the best command word I ever saw used was simply this..... "PUKE." Things just went down hill from there. :)

    How to Thwart Locate Object Spell

    I thought lead cases only foiled Superman. :)

    What makes a good campaign plot?

    My last couple of games were based off of HIGHLY modified movie plots. "The Usual Suspects" provides a great basis for a reoccurring villain, some bait-and-switch scenarios with the PCs, and enough twists to keep them totally unaware of what is going on. I had enough material to keep them...

    (OT) OSU National Champions

    Fanatics are fanatics everywhere whether they are wearing pointy ears or painting their dog scarlet and grey. :) But it has beena fun weekend and I am glad to be living in Columbus at a time like this. Now lets see if we can do it again next year!

    (OT) OSU National Champions

    After all the commotion this weekend, a friend of mine here in Columbus came to a conclusion..... "OSU fans make Trekkies look like jocks." That's a statement I can relate to.

    (OT) OSU National Champions

    The Gods of Sport were against me last night. I had to work until 11:00 so I set my TIVO to record until midnight assuming that it would be plenty of time to get the whole game. I went the entire night at work avoiding the score and asking the folks around me to not tell me the score, and...

    What's the most cinematic thing one of your character's has ever done?

    This didn't exactly work out too well for the PCs, but I can totally picture it in my mind. Imagine....a rowboat full of PC heroes in the harbor of Procampur rowing like mad to board a bad guy vessel. It's the middle of the day and they have been seen. (Sure...lousey tactics, but an invasion...

    Ohio Gameday (January 18th) Game Sign Up

    I am going to commit to run a 3E D&D game, either one I write or maybe a module....just depends on the day I guess. I was also looking through some old papers yesterday and found a FASA based Star Trek RPG scenario that I wrote about ten years ago but never ran. I will probably hold it in...

    A multi-genre, multi-system campaign, a'la QUANTUM LEAP

    Been there, done that...:) Actually, it was a generic role playing scenario system called Destiny Deck. It was put out about 10 years ago by a small group, but it is really fun. The deck consists of four decks, one with setting suggestions, one with mood suggestions, and one with a challenge...

    PC knowledge of Monsters?

    How about this....HOUSE RULE! Every character has a new class skill, "Knowledge, Monsters." DC 5 to ID a fairly common monster. DC-10 - to ID the abilities of a common monster. DC-15 to ID a rare Monster DC - 20 to ID the abilities of a rare monster. DC 25 - to ID an a "mythological" or...

    DM Veneration

    Back in 1990-91 I was going to Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. We played the old FASA Star Trek RPG every weekend for almost a year with one of the best GMs Ihave ever met. This man was evil, diabolical, well prepared and ran the best game of any system I have ever played. Then he died...

    A new game has started. What level are you?

    The more I think about it the more I like the idea of giving a character a 0-level in an NPC class. It almost forces the player to come up with some sort of half way compelling back story (something that waaaayyyy too many PCs lack.) Exactly how do you go about adding the level? How does it...

    [WOTC] Core Rulebooks to be revised?

    I'm not sure if anyone has brought up the one thing that is really going to tick off some people. If they are changing some of the character classes, then the $30.00 I just shelled out for e-Tools just went down the drain. Considering the time it is taking WOTC to get out an e-Tools patch...

    Paying for game sessions?!?

    I have held games where I not only DMed (minimum 10 hours of prep time.....I'm THOROUGH), provided the venue, provided soft drinks, and cleaned up the mess on my own, yet was still asked to help chip in for pizza. I love the game. I love the preparation. I don't mind hosting and I don't mind...

    stupid PC names

    A while back me and two other friends played triplets names Mongo, Farfig and Homer. Mongo and Farfig were INT 6 fighters while Homer was the smart one of the bunch, an INT 9 wizard (This was 2E so it was possible, just not very safe..) The DM loved it and we played those characters for a...

    [WOTC] Core Rulebooks to be revised?

    Personally, I can really see shelling out $30 for a new PH, since I have been considering getting a new one anyway. I have one of the first printing $20 ones and was wanting to get a PH with all of the corrections from the second printing. I have NO INTENTION to replace my DMG or MM. Any...

    Booting a player from your group

    I was a bootee in a whole mess that occurred over the summer. Actually, it was one of the saddest things I have ever been through. My group had been playing together on and off for about three years. We swapped DMing responsibilities back and forth, but for the last year or so I had been...

    What if the Roman Empire remained?

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I implore you...why do we continue to debate this issue when Star Trek had covered this issue on multiple occasions? Tread not where Kirk has tread, and be joyous in his teachings! Seriously....I have no idea.:D

    Ohio Gameday (January 18th) Game Sign Up

    My current plan it to show up and run some freelance games. I MIGHT have a new job with a schedule to be determined later, so I don't want to put anything in concrete. Besides, having some unannounced games gives some flexibility to the day. I intend to run at least a four hour D&D 3E game...
