Return to Tomb of Horrors was really fun to read but it looked like it would take forever to complete. Though, that is also the kind of thing that would be very appealing in some ways as it would greatly reduce prep time for a very long time. Now, if you really want to find something that is...

I forget the name. Maybe 'Vile Revenge' or something. It is in the Book of Vile Darkness. It is the spell that rips off the victim's hand and the hand begins to choke the victim! That is hardcore!

It would be awesome if some of the gamers where had been walked out on - especially the wacky ones - were, in fact, now reading this thread! :lol:

'Drow' rhymes with 'row.' (That may start an argument!) ;)

I flipped through it and liked what I saw. I, too, enjoyed the Mind Flayers. :)

I have really been looking forward to Iron Age. With that out there will be a lot of different options to chose from with regards to M&M settings.

I would rather see players pass notes than natter on about something and distract the others. See, sometimes the players pass notes to generate thoughts on something while I am dealing with some other players. I would also rather see note passing than constant dragging each other into the next...

I think I prefer to GM because of the diversity in characters it allows me to play.

I know modrons have kind of a cult following but I always hated those things as they seemed kind of silly. I can't imagine throwing out something that looked as silly as they do inspiring anything that even resembled respect.

It seems very disrespectful to me to have given a ruling and them pretty much ignore your request. Jeez. Did they not hear you?

I have more stories than I wished I had. Naturally I have the dice throwers and the dice yellers (where one player would have angry words with his poor performing dice). Warning - this is a pretty long post. Story 1 Going back as far as I can recall, I was running D&D at about age 14 or so...

Shoot. I thought this thread was going to have something to do with Stan Lee!

GM Fiat is not so bad. I have been running the game every Friday for a few years now and it has been a blast. My players don't mind the GM Fiat but if you feel like its cheating . . . Don't be afraid to use the villain points for rerolls. Of course, returning to the GM Fiat point, if it...

Playing evil is usually asking for trouble. However, that is usually because it is quite often that people playing evil characters will fall prey to using it as an excuse to play something unprincipled. Truthfully, evil does not have to be that way and I think there is a lot of other games...

Its funny. I thought it was just my imagination about the railroading. Honestly, its a great story and I enjoyed reading it a lot. But the last encounter in the first part of the trology was a killer. I had to cheat a little to keep everyone alive and I could tell that my players were a...

They really make my dungeons seem much more interesting now that I do not have to use the Clue board game board anymore. :) Actually they are really cool. They allow me to quickly throw out some tiles to make the dimensions of the room seem better. And they are really wonderful for the price!

I am usually the GM but I trade off with someone else for small stretches. This person runs a fun game but is prone to cancelling - after half of us are there. If the GM cancells ahead of time they are stay home. Otherwise we'll play a game of Cthulhu or a board game or something along those...

Handouts - if done right can be one of the greatest extras you can do for a game or it can crush the campaign under the weight of reems of paper. As mentioned, I think lots of players do not want to feel like they have to do homework and read a long history of a place. Additionally, it paints...

I guess I never liked the whole idea of 'descended from dragons' as an idea for a variety of reasons. I found a better way to approach sorcerers was the idea of a strange a mysterious bunch. They can be mistrusted and feared like mutants in the old approach of Marvel Comics.

Bah! Enk is a fool's fool! And I shall deliver a beating to him tomorrow.
