    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    not sure if I still get the first go given that I'm not watching. Assuming not "What in the Domain of Heaven is that? Sounds like trouble boys!"

    Koukonsögur - Saga of the Trollfed Aerie - IC

    Satoshi speaks up, "Among the yellowclaw are fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters. I am sure they will recognize the wisdom in backing down, and allowing their family members to treasure their continued lives. We will leave once we have the Thegn's treasure. At that point, we should have no...

    [IC] WD's Dragonfist

    Sorry Song springs awake, concerned about the noise. Unsure of how to alert his comrades, Song reaches into his bag, taking up two taels and flicking one onto Bi and the other onto Shang. That done, he listens intently, one hand reaching down carefully and quietly to grab his tiger fork, the...

    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    This sounds accurate. He is paying attention to the proceedings, just hanging back.

    I'm hoping for a 4e DM screen.

    [IC] WD's Dragonfist

    Song will gingerly place his belongings into the chest, with the exception of his bow, arrows, and tiger fork, which he will lean against the wall. Before sleeping, he drinks deeply from his waterskin and says a number of prayers.

    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    Noriaki looks at the shovel as though Takahaan has handed him a dead rat, and drops it just as gingerly. "I'll tell you what," he says, turning away from the buried object, "You two play in the dirt, and I'll keep an eye out for anyone sneaking up on us."

    [Adventure] Little Workshop of Horrors (Judge: stonegod)

    Don't sweat it. This is why I have teleports. If things get too hot, I don't have to stay in the fire.

    Role-roll, roll-role, just role, just roll, please read the poll.

    I make the players explain to me what they're saying and what they're trying to accomplish, and I often goad them into an in-character delivery, then we roll. I give higher DCs for bad ideas(but not bad delivery).

    Nerfing rules in game

    I'd have probably let the Glitterdust thing slide. If I do any nerfing of stuff, or even on occasion if we get a rule wrong and it lets the players breeze through a combat, I wait until the end of the session to look it up and change it/apply nerfs. It keeps the game going, and in general...

    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    Noriaki goes along with Kane's plan, though he is clearly reluctant to hunt treasure instead of going back to the camp. He chuckles as Kane begins to dig, keeping far enough back that no stray dirt will get on him. "It seems no amount of magic can save you from labor. Even magic follows the...

    [Adventure] Little Workshop of Horrors (Judge: stonegod)

    As the golem's hand weighs on Canus's shoulders, his pupils contract sharply, and temperature in the room drops noticeably. Canus gasps, his breath coming out as steam, as he stabs his sword upward at the golem's arm. Standard: Piercing Shard on Vat Golem Attack Roll: 1d20+12=16 vs Will...

    You want to do what? Outrageous, and otherwise interesting player requests.

    One of my players wants to find a dragon's egg and use worg blood to make it into a drake-ish familiar. I told him it may take awhile to find it it(paragon tier, or or near so), but we'd do it one day.

    [Adventure] Serpent's Skull: Souls for Smuggler's Shiv (DM: Mewness; Judge: THB)

    Noriaki shakes his head. "We are not just predators, ka-Hu Li. We are men. And as such, we must check in on our fellows. We might see victory after victory, but it means nothing if our fellows perish. No, our duty is to them, now." Totally promise to do stats soon. Just been busy with...

    Finally, seeing no alternative than extreme rudeness, Song drinks the tea. Just a sip.

    Koukonsögur - Saga of the Trollfed Aerie - IC

    Noting the statue, Satoshi first approaches Dossk. Even with his face barely above the Mul's solarplex, Satoshi seems the taller. He says, curtly, "He used to be somebody's baby. That goblin you hold. Someone used to hold him close and rock him gently. Someone cared if he lived or died. So...

    Shadow as a "power source"?

    The problem, OP, is that you think of Shadow as merely an absence of light. Viewed in strict scientific form, no power source makes sense. Earth is but minerals. Fire but a chemical reaction taking place. Light is but waves of radiation. But power sources are not scientific. They are...

    [Adventure] Trouble in Daunton (DM: Nebten, Judge: Currently Looking)

    Frowning, Howler gently pushes Vayne aside, saying, "Sorry, dove, my talents are called for here." having said this, he employs the orcish doorbell with all his might.

    [Adventure] Little Workshop of Horrors (Judge: stonegod)

    Canus Catches ahold of the manlike monstrosity's departing soul for a brief second, using its power to pull him out of danger. Landing safely back, he charges up another ball of iridescent energy, but it fizzles before he can throw it. He snorts softly in irritation. "Never was good with...

    Play standing up

    Odd as the actual thread is, I do notice myself standing up for large portions of every session.
