    Forked Thread: Describing a setting in 12 bullet points

    As I see it the purpose of this thread should be for people who have no idea what anyone is talking about when they say "Dragonlance." So if you're putting a paragraph for each bullet point that's too much, and homebrew sort of clogs up the thread. I would like to see somebody do "Dark Sun,"...

    Same Character, New Sexiness

    You could have your character be part of a long line of people who play the role of "CharacterName," like the Phantom from the Sunday comics.

    What to run for my two friends at Gen Con?

    Last year my friend TPKed us with a beer bottle (representing a giant troll). This year, it is my turn to DM in our hotel room at Gen Con. I have a ton of awesome 3.5 adventures I've run before, but we are going to be doing 4E instead. So, how many encounters can we run, and which adventure...

    What Makes a Good Player?

    We hear so much about the DM screen, and never have I heard of the players' box! I think I would clip to mine the grapple rules, and a list of NPC contacts I could use to solve problems.

    Clerics & Co. are Not MAD

    Skipping to the end to say I don't get this MAD acronym.

    Wulf's Collected Story Hour -- FINAL UPDATE 12/25

    Absolute coincidence, believe it or not -- just discovered the story hour, round about page 36 I decided to open up a new tab to page 1 and give you XP... then I get to page 47 and there's a new post in the thread!

    Moments in DM'ing

    When the players stole the pearl from Harley Stroh's Tower of the Black Pearl and (spoilers) the tower started flooding as they raced up the stairs carrying their dead comrade ahead of the rising water, and they went back through the room with the hundreds of lit candles for every hero of the...

    Questions that came up in game.

    Just various rulings and stuff, like if you ready an action, you have to do it in the middle of a double move. It's sort of inferrable from the PHB:

    What Makes a Good Player?

    What's that? My favorite players are the ones who come up with secret little plans to change the world, and ones who provide little grace notes to their character like making shadow puppets on the wall when they're on night watch.

    Questions that came up in game.

    Consider that being moved by gravity during your turn is like being moved by a mount, kind of. That doesn't take up your move action, and you can take a standard action halfway through the move. That would be about 150 feet (three seconds' worth).

    The 3.X Aquatic Database

    I read the first two pages and quit; unless you're going to click on all the Wikipedia links, I found just two things for this thread: * A black fleet with red sails * the battle of Salamis (but that all by itself was worth the skimming for me) Somebody else can take it up on page 3.

    Ah ha! Not drunk after all! Thank you for clearing that up. It'll help me next time when I forget and Google this thread, too.

    Classic Dungeon Traps

    Those are so sadistic, even the ones you wouldn't use are funny. Like the trap that traps you underwater but leaves you one little air pocket at the top. That's filled with sleep gas.

    I must be drunk, I clicked on that first post to edit before I posted here and I didn't think I could do it. Thanks.

    De-Virginizing my Friends: Super Silly or Just D&D Silly

    I've heard it's better to play it straight as the DM and let the group bring the humor. You know they will. Letting them pick the names is a great idea. You might also want to let them pick their outfits. Animal companions are always cute, horses are good, and Color Spray is a pretty...

    Edit a thread title?

    I realized that the Google results for "NPC Generator" are terrible and don't mention any of the good new generators. So I want to change the title of http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/258183-generating-bard-each-online-npc-generators.html so that it has the phrase "NPC...

    De-sticky old GenCon threads

    Is this forum you're talking about just like http://www.enworld.org/forum/gencon-2009-game-scheduling-forum/ or are there bigger and better GenCon forums out there?

    Making a level 6 bard with each NPC Generator

    I Googled and found my comment on Heroforge the last time I tried to review it: Don't know if that's accurate or if the entire spreadsheet was broken. Edit: Also, the download page for Heroforge is confusing as hell.
