Hey guys. I just thought I'd stop by and say congrats! This game has legit been going on for nearly six years. That's awesome! I'm sorry I ghosted. I kinda went though a time. I did manage to find an in person game to attend now and then, but I sort of stepped away from...

I’ve been away from the forum for a few years, but I’ve been wanting to get back into a play by post game for a while. So…I’m tentatively interested. We'll probably want to coordinate our characters, cause otherwise, I forsee an entire party of rogues/bards, lol.

The only things I changed were to make it run more smoothly. Like Gold. I got rid of Gold in place or a Wealth Ability Score. Because who wants to deal with expenses? If your Wealth is high enough, you can just buy it. Otherwise, it’ll cost a Wealth Point, and then you’re not as wealthy. I...

The only thing about Wish is that screwing with player’s Wish seems cheap to me. “Oh, just fast forward then to a time when the bad guy is dead, ahyuk.” Gigax spent so much time in 2e in the description of Wish explaining ways to screw it up it’s unreal. If that’s going to be the case, why...

This last year or so, I've been experimenting with high level gameplay. Specifically, running high level games. I've hit on a few things that worked, and a lot that didn't, once you get to this level, and after experiencing some moderate level of success, I thought I'd let people know what...

It’s our game, so Blackrazor will be down for whatever we say he’s down for. “The DOMT is all about chaos and chance. It will severely unbalance the game and the PCs. That is its nature, if you don't like that you should not have it in your game.” I believe I just said that I don’t like that...

Wow. I can’t believe I missed that. Thanks!

Ok. For a little while, my DND group has gotten rather obsessed with the Deck of Many Things. It's shown up in just about every campaign for the last year. And it's always disruptive. Always. So much so that I have decided it will no longer feature in any of my campaigns. We've had our...

I apologize if this has been asked, but I was looking through the O.L.D. rulebook, and I can't seem to find it. Dying of Old Age is mentioned, but never defined on how it happens. Humans, for example, become Old at age 60, but there's no Max Age, or anything, to determine when they actually...

If I'm not mistaken, Devils who die on their home plane are just gone. So poof, no Asmodeus. Yes? Any advice, thoughts, quest ideas, "How to make it happen", that sort of thing. I can do all that myself. I've got a good, long time before we get there, so it isn't critical to figure it out...

Great question. We have: A Fighter1/Sorcerer 10, focusing mostly on infiltration/extraction magic. A Divine Soul Sorcerer (the Avatar), focusing mostly on killing and healing magic. A Spore Druid A Oath of the Water Paladin. I do plan on there being at least one Legendary Item in each...

So a week ago or so, my group wanted me to start up a game. We alternate DM's, and often have two, or even three, campaigns going at any one time, with different people DMing, so none of us get burned out of DMing. Funny how none of us ever get burned out of playing... Anywho, I haven't...

There’s a point in Salvatores novels, and you’re getting close, where things do seem to wind to a close. They seem to run in circles for a bit. Then WotC tells him they’re switching editions, and he has to fast forward 100 years. That really throws him for a loop, though it’s interesting to see...

I'm running a game. The party goes out on to a lake that apparently had something that was influencing people to sacrifice to it. It's an Aboleth, because Aboleth's. I wasn't expecting them to do this, so I was like "Cool, I get to play an Aboleth". Anyway, it tries talking to them...

Hello! I'm about to start DMing the starter kit adventure for my group to introduce them to W.O.I.N. I've got a setting I've been wanting to run a campaign in, and I feel that O.L.D. will be perfect for it. Originally, I was going to use 5e, and have them advance a year or so after every...

Since we'd all be talking at the table, Imma use this thread as us talking at the table. I'm going to go a little meta and assume the wizard guy is either a simulacrum or he has a Ring of Mind Shielding. It's just as common as my helm, and is basically a block to anyone trying to divine...

Andar focuses on the whispers as they walk, listening for thoughts he is unfamiliar with. Detect Thoughts lets me do a passive scan for intelligent thought within 30 ft of me, and if he's not doing anything else, he's going to be doing that. It doesn't tell him where they are, just that...

"I'm only saying I can't hear him," he says to her mind before turning back to the hedge wizard. "We will find your apprentice. Do you know where we should start looking, or should we just walk into the forrest and hope we come across him?"

Kill him. Take his stuff. Then go find his apprentice and kill him and take his stuff. Then dominate the small town and turn them into our minions... Wait. Wrong game. Let's go find the apprentice!

A far politely declines the drink. He doesn’t trust anything going on at the moment.
