This is when the DM can House Rule something. I've got a guild that does do killings for hire as long as there is a legitimate reason for it. Like the person is a child molester and the city guard won't touch him because of his station in the city etc. This guild will do the job. The only...

Hmmm... I thought I could remember them all but there where some campaigns I guess that didn't stick in my mind but here goes: Perin Lighthand, Jeminil Lighthand (son of Perin), Cheyenne, Ariel Lightblade used twice), Raven Bashere(used twice), Larissa "Mouse" Thorle, Donovan, Katrina Marie...

Heck no. He's a really good player but it was a 180 on his character design. I'm just feeling the boards to see how others feel about non-evil assassin types in general and this player's inquiry fueled my fire on the subject. Trust me, I know how to say no. Made a few game rules on the...

One of my players recently (and skillfully) twisted something I've been saying for quite some time. My belief that not all assassins are pure evil and sometimes it is necessary to 'off' someone. Let's face it, there are NPCs out there just dying to step up to the point of your blade. You...

::grins wryly:: There is a story behind everything in life and I'm afraid this is a tale that shall die with the bard. ::bows politely:: Digging the dagger deeper never makes the pain go away, mate.

Try giving the go ahead for something of this nature and find out that the person who wears the ring that matches your own takes it out of character too. I don't recommend this at all after my experience unless all parties involved have specific guidelines. Then you don't get blindsided and...

I have a little of everything in my world of that nature (and I'm female in real life). I have towns where women are not allowed to show any body part if they're unmarried and other places where the women are a equal part of the social structure, hunting alongside the men. I made it very...

I have fond memories of 2e though I have moved onto 3e/3.5e. Many of my favorite characters I like to talk about are 2e characters. Why'd I stop playing it? My group fell apart unfortunately (my parents and my son's Godparents of all things!) and when I started playing again, 3e came out...

I have a player that would come up with all kinds of new items. They were interesting and they had the proper skills, feats, etc to do them. I'd say let them go for it if they have the time to research etc. I think it brings a new flavor to the table. RPing is a creative art, IMO.

This is the main reason I stopped going to those boards as well and it's only been a year for me. While I have had people disagree with what I've said here at EnWorld, they have a little, no, a LOT more tact when conveying their opinion. Oh don't get 'them' started over there on the Drizzt...

Yeah, Alma peeved me off big time but I took her down because I refused to give up. I'm now on level 12 and still enjoying the game. The graphics blow me away.

I was discussing this with my buddy the other day after another TPK by my husband as DM. I like making detailed backgrounds for my characters and we use a posting board to add info here and there but it seems like everytime I make a decent one, it never gets used in any faction. Now I really...

Downer used to make a little sense to me but now I'm not sure what the 'plot' of the whole thing is anymore. It reminds me of missing a gaming session then trying to catch up the next week. It only succeeds in thoroughtly annnoying the hell out of me! On a lighter note, that Order of the...

Count me in as one of the female DMs. The current campaign I'm running has been going since, I think, September of last year. We had one that never got completed before that ?2 years? (personal issues with a husband who didn't understand the prep work part for gaming but let's not go into The...

Here! Here! I agree! This is expressly why when I started Dming a while ago, I told my players it would be more of a role play experience. I rewarded them for their efforts in acting out the scene rather than having the old 'Look a squirrel! How xps is that worth, do you figure?' Pshaw...

My husband invested in two sturdy stackable filing cabinets. They have two drawers about 3-4' long. He puts all the Dragon and Dungeon magazines in the cabinets and any other D&D stuff we use on a semi-regular basis is stacked on top of them.

I don't smack my players back with a splintered ruler for creating their own PCs, especially family members, friends, etc. I've left my gaming world pretty much open so if they have a creative idea, I can fit it in as long as it's not outlandish.

Probably not. I once got so mad at my sister while bowling that I stormed away to leave. Instead of using that nice little bar on the door to let myself out, I threw my hands on the glass. It shattered...it was plexi-glass. Not supposed to break. I went through the door and received one cut...

First I grab a fresh wide ruled 1 subject notebook. The first page is typically a rough drawing of the campaign map/area with notes on the cities/towns scrawled on the side. From there I put at least three ideas of 'plots' for the PCs to follow up on. The book basically becomes the...

The current party level in my game is 1-3, mainly because I had some people join on after the campaign has officially started. Most of the encounters I throw at them are going to be at least a CR2. Since I don't throw combat out every session (one of the reasons some of the players joined my...
