Perhaps a ring inscribed with his holy symbol that, when worn by a member of the faithful, allows the wearer to cast Spare the Dying 3/day.

I'm curious- is this an effort to have something cool, interesting and unexpected happen, or is it an effort to de-power the hammer? If you're just trying to de-power the hammer, meh... If you're trying for something cool and unexpected, maybe just have one giant, or one class of giants, who...

Usually, I sit around and think up a few character story concepts I like and then roll some dice to see which one they correspond with best. If I'm entering an existing group, I will straight up ask if they have a class preference. For example, I'm perfectly happy playing clerics, so if a party...

You could give each player a certain number of characters, maybe 4 since 8 seems like a lot, and let them "manifest" one at a time.

Thanks for this! I think a lot of this applies to regular table games as well. This is relevant to me because I had a PbEM game that was going really well and then the problem came when I, the DM, had a bunch of life get in the way. I told everybody we were going to have to take a 2-month...

I have to say, I don't think I have a need for something like this, but I think it's awesome that you did it. Very clever and well done. :)

Right? I kind of feel the same way about Villians & Vigilantes. :)

That's reasonable. I can definitely see the difference between older MM and younger. He was deifnitely brasher in his early years. The case for Wisdom comes from the tie to insight and perception, which it seems he would have been fairly good at, so I would probably go up by just 1 on each. To...

This is well done and well-balanced. I do agree that his wisdom and charisma should be higher, though I wouldn't go as high as 18/18 like Krachek was thinking. Cheers!

Hi Amanda, Just wanted to let you know the link t the Yahoo group doesn't work. Best, Dave

I was having fond memories of ancient times and TOON the roleplaying game and it got me wondering; has anyone on here played TOON? Any success stories or fun anecdotes to share? I kind of have the itch to run or play a game but I remember it never really went anywhere “back in the day”…

Story-wise, I love this idea. I also love the idea that the player and DM would be in-sync enough to make it work and not result in PvP issues that reduces fun for everyone. If the player could creatively reconcile the divine and personal in a way that doesn't endanger the game, it could be...

I personally don't like the unlimited cantrip idea, not even for any of the cantrips. I don't really think limiting it to a good yet manageable number is totally reasonable. We generally have house-ruled 8 cantrips/day or 6+spell modifer and that's almost always plenty. Just the thought of it...

I mostly agree with that, except that I'm willing to entertain the idea that it could have been written in Elvish even though it was recited in Westron so that the gathered peoples could all understand it.

I think you're both right. The Riddle was in Gandalf's letter to Frodo as a way of identifying Strider, but later we find out that Bilbo wrote it. He might be lying, but it seems unlikely. It also would have been written after Bilbo had been living in Rivendell for some time, so it's likely he...

I ran a 0-level and fairly low-magic campaign where the players rolled 3d6 with a minimum of 7 and then the choices they made as 0-level characters had opportunities to give them skills, stat bumps or story info. It actually went really well. It's great to see characters get excited about...

As an aside, I think people worry too much about parties being balanced, as if every party needs a tank, a healer, a caster and a really good taco chef. If every player in a group wants to play chef or rogue or fighter, it sounds like a fun game to me. Beyond that, I agree with BoldItalic, a...

Fair enough. To be honest, I was up really late when I made the post and was a bit of a half-wit. :) I was thinking it would be good to have a place where people can list their various talents and needs and make connections. Like, looking for an artist to do a drawing of your party? Looking for...

Hi all! I decided to make a directory for Artists, DMs, Players, Stores, Clubs, Meetups, and whatnot. Once registered, you can set up multiple listings in different categories and upload up to 6 images. There are just a few test listings right now, so I'd love to hear from everybody...
