if someone hits for a lot of damage, a popular taunt is "what does he(the victim) do...besides B.O.G. of course B.O.G. = bleed on ground

I have to be totally honest, I don't know what any of you are talking about. I've yet to have a problem with the "damage expressions" of any monster in mm1 or mm2, AND, I have 6 players in my game. I find it not a big deal taking one or more of them to 0hp whenever I want in "big fights" and...

reading the mile long posts in this thread, I came to recall a neat story from the then head of ABC Roone Alredge when asked about starting up Monday Night Football in 1970. Someone asked him "what about die hard football fans?" his answer blew me away, he said as serious as could be "F---...

well I had no idea I would be like chum in a shark tank,:lol: I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue...obviously not thanks, I 'll hang up and listen

I am going to have a ghost follow the players around, and if they think they are gonna take an extended after each fight, ooops...ghost attacks I'll let you know how that works

I think every DM meddles a little with pc's backgrounds some, it makes hooks way easier. "The orcs that raided this village are the same ones that raided your boyhood home" it never fails, the pc's are always "ok, lets go smash" and another page of character history is written. But to do a...

do you find it easier to run low level 3e or lower games? because I simply said it was more difficult, not impossible. From a DM point of view I found that you have to pull your punches so to speak in the early levels, mostly ( but not entirely) due to a lack of hp.

...if I don't like how the abstraction is abstracting....... ..........:-S ............ you win

i don't see a problem either (imagine a leg would, the hamstring, the achillies, something like that)

OK OK OK I know what the rule says, I am asking about the practicality (as much as d&d can be practical) of it. If you are fighting a guy in a bar, and a guy runs past you, and you decide to sly wrap him in the jaw, aren't you turning your attention away from the original guy you are...

the orc stronghold from dungeon delve is simple and compact Kobold hall (dmg) is not so terrible for 1st level rookie DM's ---I am thinking you want a short one (or two) night adventure, right? because the DM can't make it THIS weekend.

attacks of opportunity - in the following example, Bob and Jim are fighting monster a, Jim provokes an AO when he leaves the green square, but...does monster A provoke Bob if he makes the attack? if yes, why isn't that written down anywhere if no, why doesn't it, logically?

Not only does my table not allow magazine stuff, we don't allow things from a book that we as a group don't own two of. That said, if someone finds a power or spell or whatever, and want to use just that one thing, it's usually not a problem. The thing is, though, often times it gets to 'that...

Yeah, I wasn't really hitting on the "all the time" part of the querry that said, I bet we can make a pretty long list of ways to stop the "jam the doorway" defense 1. beat em to the door 2. slide em away from the door 3. retreat further in, and make them come to you 4. have something pushing...

A's Prep - luck favors the prepared also makes improv WAY easier Worlds - the other guys use my stuff when they dm, so thats an endorsement to me Encounters - plenty of positive feedback about the content and flow C's Rules...I let my players cheat, if they have fun by cheating, knock yourself...

first off Kinneus - if you were at our table, and I was DM, I'd let you do it. second, it's been my experience that the 'cooler' a player thinks his "build" is, the lamer it actually is once its put in the game. (Not always ! ) It's one thing to be creative on the sheet, but another thing...

i read this thread like 3 times trying hard to make sense out of it, I think I pulled my brain. I don't know if this is an anecdote or how big a ballpark it is, or anything like that, but I will tell you this....if i am NOT a shareholder of hasbro inc. why would I give a crap if 4E is behind...

well, I am late to this party, so i will just name the ones that have been used at our table Sanatarium - Metallica Judith - A Perfect Circle Breadfan - Metallica (cover) Evermore (the battle of) Led Zepplin Rock Steady - Bad Company Fire Lake - Bob Seger Thunder Road - Bruce Springstein Europa...

also - don't be afraid to have your 'bosses' run a fight at the end featuring 5 on 5 (or less depending on how many actually live or not)
