I feel just the opposite. This all sounds great to me. A reboot to the FR is something needed especially because 4e isn't just a rules update, it's an overhaul from top to bottom. It means they want to make the FR more integral to the ruleset and that's fine by me.

Absolute truth here Sadly, this does seem to be the way it became for most of my players too. Untill... On the other hand this changed things back once I started implementing it as a regular activity. Being able to roll the die to determine your own fate whether it's a save roll or an...

Not possible It's just not possible for the DM to cheat when the rules are only guidelines. Where does it state in any edition that the DM should not fudge die rolls? It seems there have been a few people posting who have quoted the rule books that state the DM should if needed even ignore...

Unfudged all the way! Unexpected and creative (when my players have out thought me) play alway gets rewarded even if it means the premature ending of a BBEG. That's always cool and makes it fun for me when I can get surprised in my own campaign. Not changing the die rolls makes it a greater...

I voted loved it. It's how I've already got my campaign world set up. So no changes for me. ;)

In my campaign world this is exactly how the the hobgoblins are. Roman legion with this as a part of their overall economy being creature breeders and trainers. They use these beasts for siege, battering riding, transport (above and below ground) and general commerce. They are so disciplined...

Oh yea, about this too. Who the hell drew this line? If there were two DM's and only one group of players and one DM never fudged die rolls, ever and the other fudged die rolls regularly to guarantee really fun D&D sessions I can promise the guy fudging is gonna have that group of players all...

Here is the difference in your game and mine. I have promised my players a really fun time. I run my BBEG's as if they had all the smarts and resources that the players have and that's why he's in charge of this particular dungeon or whatever. If my players finished off the BBEG like...

Cool stuff Before reading this thread I didn't put much thought behind what POL could mean. The ideas posted here has my imagination kicking into high gear with the possibilities. It's been a long time since I've rebuilt my campaign world from the ground up. Got to start taking notes for...

Ha! That's funny. The last bit cracked me up. :lol:

What the...? This all sounds so alien to me. DM cheating? What the hell kind of game are people playing? There are no rules, only guidelines. It's only a game and we are all on the same team. I have always been a DM and I want to have as much fun as possible and so do my players. We have...

Sorry, but the pic of the green meteor that ran with the story was a just a file photo on hand. But I'm sure any color would suffice for zombies to be made.

He's got some nice boots. :p

Crothian is exactly right. It's like punk music from the 70's. It was unpolished, energetic and it was speaking to a very small specialized crowd of people who were not fitting in with the "norm" of society. We loved it and appreciated what it added to the game. We got to finally see a...

That's the spirit of the game. 1989 - AD&D 2nd Edition - Dungeon Master's Guide - Forward "Take the time to have fun with the AD&D rules. Add, create, expand, and extrapolate. Don't just let the game sit there, and don't become a rules lawyer worrying about each piddy little detail. If you...

All that virulent pomposity emanating from a previcenarian? :confused: Good gag. :p

My friends and I have been using this term in D&D for twenty years or so, if I recall correctly. A long time before messageboards, MMORPGs, Everquest even existed. Sorry. Now this guy knows what's what.

Ok a few more. 1) The house could be a facade for a demonic temple and the daughter is it's high priest. The old lady is a shut in because she is actually a captive. Once the temple is taken down and the old noble lady liberated she will gladly give them the book as a reward. Exposing the...

Any Steven Brust is worth reading. :D http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/b/steven-brust/ I also just finished the Dark Tower series by Steven King. Wow. Epic. It does have some modern world parts to it but it's awesome.

Well, if that's the case then it's alright. I was thinking there were some game mechanics I was actually breaking or not following. There are so many books out nowadays it's hard to keep up with all the rules and such. I do however run a tough dungeon, but I am very fair. Though over the...
