Nice. They all seem to have quite a bit of character in their faces.

Maybe the child molester killing, swearing paladin should hand out the fliers. Everyone wins! :)

These are great stories. Sadly, I have none to share of my own but it is nice to see such generosity and kindness.

Railroading is probably a bad term that is being used in a blanketed way. But at the same time the topic is a pretty good one. Sandbox games are not for everyone. I had players who griped and complained that they wanted a sandbox supers game. I reluctantly agreed. It was a mess. We...

I'll be there. I have been looking forward to it. The Ram, The Canadia Suite . . . one of these days I will have to get initiated into TBR.

I do suspect that Lovecraft is somewhere hoping that all of us get thrown into the Lake of Hali for even discussing this.

Yeah, I am sad to say that I think the days of paper and book rpgs are on the downswing. On the plus side, I suspect that it is something that will always have some appeal but as a viable way for the industry to make money? I am not so sure.

Color me jealous for the great finds. Though that is certainly something to brag about. I mean, I thought I was da bomb when my local store had a copy of Frostburn for 15 bucks. That other stuff? Sheer awesome!

Fudge it. It is the only workable way. ;)

I resort to an old Paranoia trick. No matter what game I am running I always keep a few random gaming books. If the players ask me a question about something I do not have a ready answer for, I grab one of them, flip through it and then give them an answer as if I found it there. This is...

I want new players to stay and have a good time. I would do nothing to make new players feel uncomfortable.

I believe that they produced an Indy RPG back in the 80's. As I recall, it did not do that well.

Put on the best show you can.

I don't come across a lot of zany stuff (but wish I did). I seem to recall years ago Dragon doing some fun stuff with 1st edition.

I have found through character creation and as a GM seeing others go through character creation that it is almost always a good idea to have a general idea of what you want and then start with that. You really get a much better experience when you have this basic idea and let the character...

Mutants & Masterminds 2e - the best supers game on the market Ultimate Power - a M&M suppliament Iron Kingdoms' Character Guide - includes everything you need to start a campaign in the Iron Kingdoms. Includes classes, races, discussions of equipment and mechanika Book of Vile Darkness - I...

Precisely. The core book is all that is needed but Ultimate Power goes a long way to building on powers, clarifying powers and showing you a lot of options with the basic power set. It is not needed but it adds a lot.

Mature and fun players can make an evil campaign a lot more fun - but it keeps the GM a bit more busy as the GM must create a few creative ideas for incentives to go on adventures. Evil does not have to mean depraved and without any positive qualities.

The idea of not wanting you to play certain classes or races is not that scandalous. He might just be uncomfortable running a game with some material he is unfamiliar with. Do the other players agree with you? Are you having any fun at all? I actually think you running something for a brief...

That is amazing. Telling me that it is the only published modual you have ever run? Wow. I have to ask: was it fun? Was it silly? Did the players enjoy it?
