    New player and even newer DM struggling with another player...

    I wasn't having them meet a deity just a prophet leader type person. I am not going to make it person. I just want to help them see that being good has its rewards.

    New player and even newer DM struggling with another player...

    I agree with everything that has been said. I am kind of looking forward to this. Honestly, I don't think I will force them to switch but I am going to make things difficult on them and borderline pick on them. I was going to have the party be visited by a good deity and give them gifts but not...

    To make things more fun... older brother sent me a text stating he is going to start playing an evil avenger. He is pretty open to suggestions. I emailed him with my concerns and I am going to talk to the group tomorrow. I will let everybody know how it goes.

    DM's computer

    The picture isn't very clear but that is what my group uses. You can also buy a board at Home Depot that can be used for dry/wet erase that is 4x8 (if that is too big they will cut it into smaller peices there, I did it in half). You can then use that board as you wish.

    Daring the Gods

    That makes sense. I would think that some characters could have multiple and some would be limited to one like the avenger or paladin.

    You sir are wickedly smart... I like where this is going. I do appreciate everybody's feedback. You all have reassured me on the path that I wanted to go and gave me some good new ideas as well. The older Brother was the DM, I kind of already feel guilty taking his DM responsibilities away...

    New player and even newer DM struggling with another player...

    I have to admit that I am not the greatest at running skill challenges. I am trying to learn how to do those better. I plan on having one or two the next time we play. I fully plan on sticking it to the kid. I will give him a chance and won't go gunning for him planning on kill him, unless...

    What Skills are Underused?

    A pair of guys in my group like to get into drinking contest in almost every tavern they go into. I have them do an endurance check along with NPC drinking partner. The DC increases with each round. First one not to make the check loses. Depending on how many rounds it goes, I decrease...

    What Skills are Underused?

    Streetwise, Dungeoneering, & Heal are the least common. Religion/Arcane, Insight, and Perception are the more common ones. As I have mention in my other thread Bluff, Stealth, and Thievery is used quite frequently... almost too frequently for my liking. I am getting them to use Nature more...

    It isn't above 30 all the time but it is consistently above 25. I am pretty sure that he trained in either bluff or thievery, as well. I have heard what I wanted. Thanks. All of you pretty much confirmed what I wanted to do. I just wanted to double check and get a little pep talk from all...

    New player and even newer DM struggling with another player...

    The older brother was the DM for the first 6 session. His last act was telling his brother that it was okay to play as a chaotic evil. I took over the next week and didn't know it. I haven't let him get away with murder and run wild. I am trying to keep him in line and a few players have...

    The older sibling says that he is neutral but tends to play a more evil than the rest. He is a bit defensive about the younger brother. I will attempt to talk to him tactfully.

    I try to have authorities come after him but he still tries to bluff saying that he was the good guy and then a significant amount of time for the evening is about him and the rest get bored.

    New player and even newer DM struggling with another player...

    I am sure that this is nothing new. I couldn't find another thread on it though. I am a new player to D&D and my group asked me to be the DM. They are all more experienced than me but I seem to be able to control the group the best and have a creative and strong fantasy background. I am...

    What rule does your group ignore?

    I am new to the game here... I have only played D&D for about 2 months and did my second week of DM'ing last night. I have a good idea of what baddies and how many they are going to encounter in the various encounters for the evening. I use a quick excel trick to do all my initiatives for me...
