Several sources have mentioned Terro, but I can't find it anywhere. DM

I am currently not really using any house rules, since I wanted this campaign to use the RAW for 3.5 (fro the first time... I am usually house rule heavy). Here are some that I have used recently: 1. Spell Points: I have not found a spell point system I am totally satisfied with, but I may...

One sign: mocking NPC's, creatures and even deities, then quoting the stats of said entity as the reason it should be mocked DM

Those seem to be a fact of DMing. I know that not everybody goes through it, but many do. My advice: Don't quit DMing. Take a break. Think about what you want out of your game. Think about how often you want to game. Think about what behaviors you want or don't want at the table. Then, go...

We are in the same boat. My group consists of (now) 6 players and myself. We have a firefighter, a police officer, a 911 operator, a restaurant employee, a hotel night auditor and a guy who works for a firm that consults in the construction and maintenance of sewer treatment plants and septic...

Thanks again all. Things SEEM to be quieting down with the ants. The bait traps must be working, though the ants are still ranging a little to find new food sources, there seems to be fewer of them visible. Last time I thought that though, they spread to the master bath counter. I think they...

Sorry to hijack, Sigdel. Let me try to answer these questions. I posted a great deal on the subject when it happened, but I am not having luck finding it through the site search, so I will summarize the relevent info. One of my players came to D&D via World of Darkness and was thus very...

I know my situation was a little different, but I was having problems with silliness in my old group. That and a few of the players were just not buying into the style of campaign I wanted to run. First I took a few weeks off to gather my thoughts. Then I asked all of the players under 21 to...

Thanks all for the advice so far. Keep 'em coming. Also, thanks for the link to the old thread about Mark (alsih2o). It made us laugh, which we need right about now. Between that and the stories of the black widows and roaches, it made us realize that no matter how bad things are, they could...

I have run Ravenloft/Ravenloft II simultaneously, like Thanee, but recently I combined several adventures to great effect. I had to heavily alter parts of them, of course. When I began my campaign, the party started in Homlett and found out that bandits were operating from two different bases...

I have never asked for help here on anything other than gaming related issues, but I need to mine the collective consciousness for any bright ideas or tried and true tested remedies. This past weekend (around Friday), we found our pantry invaded by tiny little ants. I am not sure what kind...

Aah... the wonderful self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe that is why the first doctor wouldn't help in the first place. It is difficult to help someone who thinks they have it all figured out. DM

In-freaking-credible. You call it an attack? I call it truth. So far, any poster who has given you the unadulterated truth has been labelled as attacking you, yet the truth is all you claim to crave. The logo is correct, "You can't handle the truth." What you really want is sympathy...

I remember an old adventure in Dungeon that tried to buck this stereotype. It was a pretty deadly trap-filled set of goblin caves that revealed them to be tricky and cruel (like the little kid always picked on by the bigger kids that is enjoying his revenge). There were some REALLY nasty traps...

This gives me an idea. Since Orcus is one of my campaign's prime BBEG's, maybe he would use the spark of life to beef his armies of undead. It would not bring them back to life, but it would grant the a greater hunger for the living, some increase in intelligence, maybe some DR/SR or some such...

My first thought was honey mustard and a merlot. Seriously, maybe some mongrelfolk servants. I like the giant insects tamed as mounts. Maybe their town guard has some giant wasps or the like tamed to secure their perimeter and scout the countryside. For entertainment, maybe they have an...

That's cool. I was not trying to imply any engligence on any of your parts. I just was trying to see if there were any particular reasons why the boards have been so quiet lately. The whole hacking thing caught me off guard and I was wondering if it had any bearing in why the forums there...

The Archer's Tale is an excellent novel. The entire Grail Quest trilogy (The Archer's Tale, Vagabond, Heretic) is one of my favorites. I just finished the first book in Cornwell's newest trilogy. The novel is called The Last Kingdom. DM

My wife and I just finished watching The Godfather. Wow! We had never seen it before and thought we were behind the rest of the world and should watch it. DM

The subject of this post was brought to me today. I don't remember who brought it up, but I remembered doing writing assignments on it in school many years ago. My wife asked me for my list and said, "Hey, you should ask this over on that forum you read every day." So, I am doing that. Now...
