For me its magical Items (coming after just getting myself to sit down and write one), I've been burned to many times by giving out a seemingly inoculous magic item, that the players use to devastating effect (I now abhore of giving out any of Quaal's magic tokens now, shutter, ok maybe not all...

I usually write my own, though I'll run a publish module if I don't have time to write an adventure or I thought it fit perfectly (or close to) with my campaign.

Its cool, but I'm anything but adversarial, in fact I'm very fair to the point of being a big softy. But my players are very tacticly minded, and think up all sorts of wierd ways to use spells, so I have to be fast on my feet or I'm sitting there stunned by their actions, not that I won't...

None, zero, zip, zilch. Don't see a purpose for banning any spell from the PH, if I can't do something about the spell in game, then I'm not a good DM (at least thats how I see it), and deserve to have the sheet pulled over my head. Now spells from other sources might get a no for picking, but...

1.)How long have you been gaming? First gamed in 1991, but didn't game regularly until 1995 2.)What do you play? D&D mostly, currently D&D 3.5. 3.)What is your most memorible moment while gaming? Had several, but don't remember most (very flaky memory on my hard drive). Anyways had a 3.0 bard...

I freehand them, partially because I'm a decent artist and partially because I just cannot capture what I want with a program. Though I've been thinking of scanning my maps and then touching them up with a graphics program, just haven't gotten around to it.

I placed an 8 on the ranking, I almost said it was a 7 because it tries to do too much. But in the end, I went for an 8 because of a solid setting and support (City of Sharn is by far the best city book I've read) and the setting doesn't come with loads of new rules that are hard to get your...

I'm behind on my miniature painting, with 10 unfinished and over one hundred unpainted. I just can't seem to get myself back to the painting table.

Nope, but I don't eat Ice Cream because its bad for me.

Yes do, as someone who loves pizza but shouldn't eat it (I've got LI), please share the love

Well, I've had the player keep track of the number of time the item has been used, and compare that number the number of charges that I have written, It can be a bit cumbersome, but it works well enough that I don't have to tell the players the actual number of charges left in the magic item.

Goals for 2005 Move and get a job (not necessarily in that order) Have fun in 2005 (something that was rare in 2004)

Where I shine. That would be interesting traps and situations (I can scare the bejeezas out of my players with these). Combat tactics, I've laid waste to many a party with my tactical ability (but I'm a soft DM and I usually let the players live) Where I don't Shine: Descriptions. I'm very...

Well to start with just playing again after a 2 year absence. After that my current campaign I DM set in Eberron, 2 events: The first adventure. The player chasing a NPC after NPC jumps of a balcony, with a hat rack, and nearly falls to his death. Gotta love the hat rack, because its a...

From my experience, the to times I "burnt out" DMing was one where the pressures of life got to me, the other was where my players were just being annoying (to put it nicely). In the case of the former, all it took was to step back and gather myself, I did this by doing something different, a...

I loved 'em. Haven't really had the opportunity to use them in a game, but as a history buff, I always checked them out (and kept several of the links). So bring 'em back and keep 'em coming.

Dude, I don't know about you, but down here in Corpus Christi, Its Snowing. First ever White Christmas I've ever had. The people down here says its the most snow in over 100 years. Amazing, thats all I can say.

Well, I can't believe it, their actually saying there might be snow in the wee hours of the christmas eve morning down here, completely unbelievable. Hell must be freezing over, wait Texas is hotter than hell, that makes since.

Well my birthday was yesterday, and, thankfully a quite one at that. I only heard happy birthday told to me a total of 3 times, I only recieved 2 birthday cards (neither of which came from family or friends), and no party or cake to make me feel older. It looks like I'm starting to live up to my...

Well I have land of reptiles (called the Kingdom of Scales) that is in the middle of an otherwise normal High Fantasy campaign setting. Now this isn't the Burroughs's Pellucidar, a highly sophisticated and advanced empire of kobolds controls the land, but they are kept from spreading by...
