    Explosions in London

    Lucky man - I've got a 47 mile walk home if public transport doesn't come back on line... though trains may be operating from further out if I'm lucky.

    Explosions in London

    And From the BBC 1205 Prime Minister Tony Blair, at the G8 summit in Gleneagles, says there has been "a series of terrorist attacks in London... people have died and are seriously injured... It is reasonably clear this is designed and timed to coincide with the opening of the G8". He says he...

    Explosions in London

    If there were two bus bombs that's news to me - so far I'd heard - six affected areas are Edgware Road, King's Cross, Liverpool Street, Tavistock Square/Russell Square, Aldgate East and Moorgate. Reports are conflicting on the exact location of the bus though. Any word from...

    Explosions in London

    S'mon - glad to hear you're ok mate - the bomb was actually tavistock square not russell square - not far away I know but may make a difference. Hope your wife's ok and has another means of getting home. Doubt I'll be able to move until late this evening. Latest news I have - 2 confirmed...

    Help with a player constantly changing characters

    Absolutely - me too. My point is that it is the responsibility of all the people in the group to make sure everyone else is having fun - not just the responsibility of the DM. If one person is pissing off the group then the group has to respond to that - not just the DM. I'm not saying put...

    Help with a player constantly changing characters

    I agree and disagree Disagree - this shouldn't be stuck all on the DM's shoulders to enforce - if the WHOLE group has a problem with the ever-changing party member (and that's what it shounds like to me) then the WHOLE group should be dealing with it - don't foist it off on the DM to deal with...

    Small parties

    My advice on small parties is not to run standard adventures (which are usually geared toward the party of four). Instead come up with your own adventures geared toward the capabilities of the party themselves. Got a druid, a scout and a fighter - go with a wilderness campaign, and don't use...

    is this "Tome of ..." stats bonuses stack?

    Possible explanation is that people don't make them - the Gods do. OK this still means you shouldn't find them in a treasure hoard but it can still account for their existence

    How do you determine a "Real Bad Dungeon Master"

    Worst example of running a game I ever had the misfortune to be subjected to: 3 PCs in a Cyberpunk style game (can't remember what actual system). OK so we're probably a little low on the power front particularly as he liked to play fairly fatal sames. But instead of preparing a game for the...

    The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Dungeon

    Beholder Poetry Beholder poetry is of course the third worst poetry in the known multiverse. In most cases it concentrates on trite imagery of eyes and teeth, with often indelicate metaphors of how they will enjoy eating your brains at the end of the poem. Rhythm and meter are universally...

    I'm in London and need your help!

    If you're actually in Croydon then there's a small Forbidden Planet there that has a few game books. It's not a patch on Playin' Games or Orc's Nest - but might be worth sticking your head through the door if you're there. Don't go out of your way though.

    Many Campaigns, One Finale?

    Sounds like a great idea. I did start to run a more basic version of that once - it was in WoD and the idea was just to play a bunch of games that each lasted no more than 3 sessions in order to fully populate the city and see all the different sides of it. I also wanted to use it to see some...

    Dry spell?

    I survive in a more or less permanent dry spell... RL obligations and the fact that two of my players each live 2 hours away (in opposite directions), and a 3rd used to live 3 hours away (but has just moved to the same town as me) has meant we game just 4 or 5 times a year. It's tough luck but...

    you drew the short end of the stick

    Been there had the choice and took the low stat option - in S'mon's game. Though I must admit I got a wealth bonus in compensation - but as a new player joining that actually meant i had similar sort of wealth to the other players (or so it seemed - without checking out their PCS in detail no...

    Do you ever play in Eberron?

    "No and I have no desire to" But that's mainly because I haven't really looked at it in great detail - I have my own homebrew which I'm enjoying and haven't really given Eberron a chance. Maybe one day I'll take a serious look at it. The Hoard
