I know that type. I don't play couple of guys anymore because of that. I started to have too many "rolleyes" when fasing off their favourite advansaries. This had nothing to do with railroading or lack of it. It was tagged on to certain characters and monsters. Well, one of them was also...

This discussion is kinda weird. I think dm can cheat, same way computer a.i. can cheat in strategy games what comes to resources and some other situations. It supposed to be "even" but it's not because it's too hard too make really good computer tactician. So game is programmed to cheat to be...

Cat deleted my longer answer again doh. But short version. My players might have gone for kill of sphinx or not depending. Trade might have been viable, if item would have been more useful/tempting to them (in case of my players ring of invisibility, hat of disguise, ring of sustanace, boots of...

Earthsea books had truenaming as explained before. However it was magic of that universe, there wasn't any other magic there. In D&D universe wizards can already do all that with regular spells. I'd use element that knowing someone's personal true name gives power over that person, like he...

We have now 11th level AD&D party. For a long time another warrior (npc one actually) has had vorpal great axe (or whatever that two-hand axe is called in AD&D). It has been funny surprise at time, even if dm uses the most broken (IMO) rules for warrior types, I don''t even know what book he...

Jon_Dahl do you play games or mostly just dm? Your confusion sound about your players "unfair" thing sound like that to me. Players don't like semi-useful-sometimes-maybe-easy-to-forget-book-keeping-thing-remain-dm-because-he-forgets-it-too things like SR. And very low SR at that. And they...

Ending was kinda "meh" for me. Bible-esque Eden thing, new start in innocence or something like that. Technology evil = mass relays always destroyed. I found ending highly "religious" and it kinda sucked. Mass effect has always been shades of greys kinda game and suddenly there is this. I...

I don't real-time combat centric rpg:s. I like it when I play Crysis 1-2, but in rpg:s it seems bit so-and-so done compared too, yet too much of a focus, kinda irritating at times (or as dragon age 2, many times). I don't like to be intrupted by combat grind when I am focused in story and I hate...

I own the original books. I mean 2 first parts published by tsr. And rest of them published by Gygax's company. Paperpacks. I have been wondering if those 2 tsr books are available too in new format or just later ones? And have there been rewrites, I've only read originals. Also I own dragon...

Similar to The Red King. I also have many stories, some plots and theme. Theme is only thing that I don't change. Other things pc might meet or not, depending what they choose to do. Unless I run adventure path written by someone else, then I mostly ran that and cut and paste encounters that...

Hi. There is always the thing you might just be under-using monsters abilities. This happens to me too sometimes I miss something that would have made combat much more harder but usually after it's over. Your rulelawyer might even be right about their low-power-level especially what comes to...

Greyhawk 2023 Mini-Campaig and Mordenkainen’s Futuristic Adventure I would love. Too bad they never do anything interesting. Long live amazing stories.

Uh. I'd hate that. Remains me about everything that was wrong about tv series "Lost". Youtube has interesting little song "answers" related to it. You probably are thinking "novelist" types, who are control freaks over pc-actions. Or idea that games should be unpredictable because of actions...

When we had our most busy time, we cancelled all games for few months. If rest of group was still playing our character was sent to "do some else stuff" for that time. Cancelling at last minute is really irritating. What of instead calling up last minute if it's possible to show up. And if...

I like most adventure path style with some extra content and freedom to roam around where ever we want to go. This forces "adventure path" be interesting. I generally like games with some plot, and strong theme, and freedem of choice. I also prefer games where you can as well become villains...

Tell him the truth. Don't ignore what he said. If he doesn't want his character die, and you tell him it's okey, he play, and character dies you probably get some hurted feelings, and he will call you "lier": Not maybe to your face. He might just leave silently and be polite. Don't recruit...

If I listen music it's cure for me to become bored. If I do anything else, including drawing some bad pictures in my character sheet I am very bored. Usually I don't do anything else, I have pained look in my face and yawn very often. I also slump down in place I sit and not respond immidiatly...

I though that sounded weird, but it really depends. If huspand was joining in game too, it's kinda natural to speak maybe to male first if you have bad experience about it. It's quite natural to talk to someone you know better to tell someone who knowns another person better to mention how game...

I really liked the movie. It was funny, had action and get my interest up. Only negatives: Forced 3D, this happens almost all the time, and no option to watch 2D it relaly sucks. I hate 3D for almost all movies I've seen using it. Other negative is that I think marketing doesn't sell such a...

Funny thread. When I was younger I used to read in toilet. Dunno, haven't done that for many years. My SO likes to read comic books in toilet, he watches porn on computer. Doesn't bother me the least. I don't know if it's myth that females hate it for some reason. It is another thing if someone...
