Yes, especially if you're using a dragon. Try an Adult White Dragon. That's a CR 10. I while playing, you think te PC's are having too easy a time, just add more hit points. Better to chose to weak a dragon and then scale up, than choose too strong, and have a TPK on your hands. Play a CR 10...

That phrase I highlighted in your original quote? "Over the top" has NO meaning when you're playing Paranoia. :D By all means, if you want to set a mood, send the players shirts, badges, anything at all to help get the mood right. Here's a few things that were helpful when I ran Paraoia back...

What about Isle of Dread? Sure there's mostly just exploration/wilderness crawl stuff, but there were opportunities to deal with the native tribes, opportunities to establish trade routes with the mainland, etc. I've run it too many times to count, and there's always been something new to play with.

That's easy enough. When Fighter, Wizard, Rogue and Cleric are fully powered up, they unite to form Dungeon Master! With all the powers of the individual classes combined into one powerful form. Dungeon Master weilds ultimate power over te dungeon, anishing monsters at will, and even changing...

EN World (Mandy by Barry Manilow) Ideally, you’ll picture David Boreanaz singing this. The reason for which should be obvious to any fan of the Angel TV show. Having David Herman singing backup is purely optional, and only for the advanced fan who will make the D&D connection. I remember all...

Yep. Every Thursday night. The GM and I started playing Warhammer Battles 15 years ago, and have followed the world ever since. This newest edition is excellent. The most streamlined and well defined ever. I miss some of the odd stuff from prior incarnations (Fimir, Gods of Law, etc.) but all in...

That's an excellent point. So could a variant of D&D be the key here? Something more along the lines of X-Crawl? Add in a PvP mechanism, and you might be looking at a winner. Combine that with some computer generated graphics displaying a play by play, mix in some good action commentary and you...

Ugh. You had me until you added this. This scheme does NOT play well to kids. Kids don't want to see normal kids who sometimes get to be heroes. That want to see normal-ish kids that ARE heroes. Look at both your examples - Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh. Ash isn't a real world boy who finds a magic...

So I was browsing around the Wizards site today, and came across this. What is this? Anyone have an announcement or link to this product? Apparently it's part of their Legendology line, which I've also never heard of. Can anyone enlighten me?

"That's not entirely correct." Arvin scratches his head thoughtfully. "As I understand it, there are some oaths you can be sure the fey will not violate. I'm hardly an expert though. Maybe one of the teachers would know for certain?" "I do agree that unless we can be certain he's going to be no...

Another thought that has crossed my mind is why isn't Hasbro doing more to build the D&D brand? Hasbro has some of the biggest, most well known brand names in toys today. To name just a few: Nerf Milton-Bradley Monopoly Chutes & Ladders Candyland Lazer Tag G.I. Joe Transformers My Little Pony...

The idealist in me thinks WotC has the right idea with their new Afternoon Adventures With Dungeons & Dragons programs in local libraries. I just hope they actually get some responses, and that the program actually gets some support. The realist in me says that what gaming needs to become truly...

Not necessarily. I've run games for guys that literally knew every skill, feat, spell and equipment choice they would make from levels 1-20. A powergaming min-maxer is going to pimp his PC no mater what. That said, I'd need to see the character's equipment to really decide. If the first example...

So if we then split that 90 amongst the six of us, we get another 15 each, for a total of 168 gp, right? Everybody good? :D

Arvin acts as translator for Seeker, parroting his conversation with the redcap back to the rest of the group in Common. "Osbry, didn't you say this guy was some kind of well-known local brute?" Arvin whispers. "If there's a bounty on him we can't very well let him go!" Out loud Arvin says...

Here's how I'd do it. Not knowing your game, I used the default array for stats, and added +1 to Dex and Con at level 4 & 8 respectively. Exotic WM is from Complete Warrior, and I took the stunts Flurry of Strikes, Show Off, and Trip Attack. With the Cha bonus, and Intimidate maxed out, you can...

In the immortal words of Nathan Detroit "You can bet he's only doin' it for some doll!" Seriously, the first thing that popped into my mind after reading your post was Disney's non-historical take on Pocahontas. Peaceful tribal girl and warlike nobleman fall in love, and the only way he can...

"I can't talk to this guy." growls Arvin. "I'm still a little too ticked off about the way he schooled me in that fight. See if the rest of you can make any headway, 'cause otherwise, I'm gonna just bite his hands off ..." Arvin stomps off and sits down in a corner of the room to watch the...

Doh! I had forgotten about the bee-paladin! We always use the CW variant Paladin in our home games, so I forgot you could cast spells! So, how's this for a revised plan? We keep the scrolls, which go to the appropriate caster. We pawn the rest of the loot, and split the gp. That comes out to...

My D&D games could pass for episodes of the D&D cartoon. Maybe it's because I started playing so young, but I keep D&D pretty innocent for the most part. There's an occaisonal PG-13 romantic interlude, but that's it. My Shadowrun games on the other hand are DARK. I'm a huge cyberpunk fan, and...
