    Bend, dont break.

    I really like 3.5 ed warlock and book of nine swords, binder sorta (but I think it's more feat pathÖ/template than character class). I don't like magic users attacking with mundane weapons. Eldrich blast constantly csn get boring for some reason, but not for me. I even let my warlock players...

    The Avengers (SPOILERS BEWARE0

    Mmh someone mentioned how much ending fight for artifact is so similar including the artifact in recent movies. Yes, I've noticed. However has anyone else spotted/been bothered with musical score combined with soundeffect, especially this sound is almost exact in same in multiple movie trailers...

    Handiest Super Power?

    Well. Telepathic powers could be nice. But then I would hate people more than now. Msybe not. Teleportation would be nice. But I would use it steal stuff and probably be stupid and someone would kill me. So no. Perfect heath and super-luck would be nice, but dunno. I lost my faint to good luck...

    Killer DMs

    I personally death can be over-used as mark of failure. Also failure can be over-used. I couple times had dm:s that overused first. End result, all players didn't care about their current character, they were working on their next character concepts while playing and discussing them with other...

    Electricity Damage In Real World Terms

    Hehe my elderly relatives got sturck by lighning while passed out in thunderstorm while too drunk. Best case by 4 times. I think it has more do with habits of person. Random. Lightning from the sky is closer to wizardly spell however. Currents you experience in households are typically of type...

    Unengaged Players

    Also very passive-agressive thing to do. I personally wouldn't do that, since I did couple of times and it backfired badly. Most people I know would see that kinda erkish behavior. It also might work, some people are kinda sleepwalking/were distracted when they game. "Lighting bolt hits you...

    Unengaged Players

    Maybe the fact you like to do high fantasy stuff is part of problem. I think your players like it too, but it's harder to connect. Most dm's are ok when players got mundane ideas. But I've seen many times how confusing new gm:s become when I become player, got bored, and start telling my own...

    Unengaged Players

    You might have ended up with wrong type of players for you. Ones that are used to different style of playing, of just prefer it. There are some good advice in this thread, but I and something. I don't personally like games where I as player have to come up with plots. I have really bad...

    Killer DMs

    If your playrs are digging it, don't change it. Some day they will level, maybe. But ask them, if they miss leveling. However, it might as well be, they like it that way. I personally prefer games where death is possibility and where I can indeed die on purpose, when I want to change character...

    Emotional Attachment

    Money spent. Ownership of books. System mastery. Works well for me. Helps me to have inspiration. That's why I mostly play 3.x, read magical items from editions of earlier editions. Sometimes read some thing from elder books of white wolf, some stuff from gurps, some stuff from rolemaster and...

    Challenge the character, engage the player.

    I agree. Sometimes I want to focus in combat not boring plots. Then I prefer real old school modules of D&D and AD&D. It went downhill from 2nd edition, worse in 3rd edition and totally boring in 4th edition if i just speak in history of D&D. Part of interesting combat is unusual areas, strange...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder vs. Greyhawk campaign settings

    I like Greayhawk bit more actually, more freedom, more classic feel. Used it so long. I have started to warm up to Golarion too. It's ok, but bit too "earthlike". I've gotten used to it too, but it's big turn-off for me. However I also found out they made "races" more personal, so it's not...

    RPGs and mental health issues

    Some have, some not. I've met rpg people that had mental issues like that. However, it wasn't so common in table-top rpg groups, but more so in larp-circles. Also, most of people, who were anime/manga fans had all some kinda mental/addiction/social problems. I ended hanging with them, not...

    Alignments anyone?

    I use them. But players can change when game progress without any problems. I kinda expect them to stick into it as part of their personality, that doesn't change unless there is reason. I usually ban paladins etc. anyhow. Mainly because one player in my group wants to play them as excuse being...

    The Player/GM relationship.

    It ok, and even great to find girlfiend from game. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't as in usual situations. It doesn't compare to work, but relationship in hobby. Which is usual how to to people meet. If she is player in game, try to run game equally. Not every dating players want...

    Cabin in the Woods

    Really liked the movie. Remains me of one of my dm:s who liked to make movie-like horror-one-shots with a twist. I miss those games. Ok but movie was good, characters were interesting and funny. I liked it. Now I just have to convince my sister to see the movie, but she really dislikes horror...

    Why do they do that? PCs and their intentions...

    I am just curious. Why "boring story". That's very reason I hate to talk in npc:s in Skyrim. Everything is so damn boring. I won't do lot of talking in games where dm bothers to invent boring stories, especially long ones. If npc doesn't answer simple question of "why you want this trade"...

    Handling Cheating

    I know some rpg books say gm can do whatever he wants. Not every rpg however. However every time gm says he follows rules/his houserules and then doesn't he cheats. Or lies to his players, whatever word you like to use. Everytime gm invokes random rolls where players are involved (like...
