I have to recommend London - and not just because I live there, but because it's a truly great place. On the downside its big and crowded and may not be as hot as you want though in the summer we do get nice weather here. Plus all of the UK is available to you via train or plane (1 hr to...

I use this as well and it works great. At first the players thought that they'd still know how well they've done (and they do get a clue by knowing generally how well they rolled overall) but give them 20 minutes of game time and they've forgotten the numbers. Plus they don't know how many of...

Troll Wiz - great file, just the sort of thing I like to help take the maths out of the equation. I've not had an in depth look - will do so later tonight if I can. However I'm seeing a problem in the Wondrous Item creator. I know this is the weakest area you say isn't as well developed (I...

My campaign is already like this and it's working fine. I do give ALL casters a boost in that they memorise a number of spells per day and then cast spontaneously from that set (so like Arcana Unearthed I'm told), and have gotten rid of sorcerers (except in magical creatures - i.e. dragons can...

ENWorlders - Me & my players (with the exception of my partner) all live fairly distant from each other and don't get the opportunity to game very often. I've set this thread up to discuss somethings that need to be resolved prior to the next game. I set it up here as I couldn't see anywhere...

Kill a monster - nick it's treasure Kill a monster - nick it's treasure I think I'm in a rut

BlackSilver Even though I was the first (I think) in this thread to come out with the cut-and-run viewpoint I want to point out that I was doing it to present AeroDM with a valid option. From the original post I got the feeling that this other guy is not his friend. I know he states that he...

30 years old and living in Leighton Buzzard - near Milton Keynes. Just moved up here from London in December, and still commute back every day to do the whole job thing. Getting married later this year which should prove interesting. I work in scientific publishing and have difficulty...

Absolutely ;) And Aussie beer will always do it - too much bloody amber in the nectar again!

Sod the cover - that doesn't bother me... but Stormwrack... where did that come from. We have Fostburn and Sandstorm - both really evocative and with RL meanings that give a real feel for the reader. Maelstrom has the same feeling, the same RW conotations, the same danger.... Stormwrack... meh!

Very nice, and gives the advantage that he can play around with the more weak-willed party goers... particularly helpful when alcohol has reduced their will saves. I'll second Rel's plans of escalating distractions - though I'm not convinced the food fight is the way to go. Maybe just have the...

Some young noble takes a liking to one of the PCs - and asks them to dance. If they accept then performance (dance) rolls are required. Even then you then get a jealous noble taking offence at the PC dancing with his/her betrothed/child/would-be-partner etc. And if the PC refuses then it's a...

Termites! My goblyn are really quite different - they're like termites or more precisely like siafu (driver ants) inspired by my run ins with those little bar-stewards in an African rain forest. Basically the goblyn are insectile (template from Savage Species) goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears...

THink this poll needs to be given that option.... tick another one for that poor old Carrion Crawler

OK - I'll take the bad guy role here... Just dump him. He's not bothering with the game and not making any effort to get involved, or to let anyone else enjoy the game when he is around. Just stop telling him when/where you're gaming. If he really wants in then let him make the effort. I...

MY dice are kept in a little wooden box - just big enough to store everything I need and some extras for when one of them is misfiring (yes I'm superstitious about my dice but I always treat them well and they seem to like me for it) I also have a leather bag that contains a large collection...

I found out about Hunter's passing this morning - when The Independent dedicated their front page story to him - written by Ralph Steadman who did the artwork for Fear & Loathing. It started out with what I think is a wonderfully bittersweet quote by Hunter: "I would feel real trapped in this...

Not really relevant to the particular example - but there is one effective way to capture a band of heroes that hasn't really been mentioned yet - get them drunk. If your local lord is sensible enough he'll post a spy in the band's 'standard' tavern - probably one of the bar maids or a regular...

Bloody Typical - I see the problem, open up Excel and construct an almost exact copy of your spreadsheet and then find you've already posted it... :mad: ;)

Going to have to second that one
