I agree that the best thing to do is game with your friends. If you can't do that, be very picky. There is no need to stay in a group where the sort of behavior you've outlined is tolerated--just pack up your dice and move on.

Hjorimir designed an impressive calendar for his game world that is tied directly to the mythology of his world. I'm in awe of both the effort and the product, actually (see attached for a small portion.) Me, I use the Gregorian calendar for my homebrew.

What's the carrion crawler going to do with its other seven attacks?

I absolutely keep track. It's important to maintain versimilitude for a variety of reasons--deadlines, upcoming events and religious observances, crafting, and movement of armies (most medieval military campaigns were waged in springtime and paused during winter). That said, I often handwave...

I would have one of the PCs have a very detailed, ominous dream--a premonition of disaster. If you're a decent writer, write it up and give it to him in a handout. Play up how frightened and distressed the dream made him feel upon awakening. Hopefully that will instill some caution.

Feh. The beholder is a $40 mini on eBay--I have no problem with his cherry-picking. It's not like he opened packages to look inside.

If a sentient world has gravity, it has landslides and other mass movements, as well as related effects such as tsunami. If anything, his world sounds more geologically active than the real world--what normally occurs over the course of millions of years of geologic time sounds like it occurs in...

Cool or creepy? The Church of Bones I can't decide. Definitely one of those "truth is stranger than fiction" things.

Cliffs are created by the forces of erosion--wind and water. Over time, a gigantic cliff like that would fall victim to erosion in many places, creating mass movements of loose earth and rock that would fall down or flow overland due to gravity's pull. If a fall occured, thousands or even...

Disillusioned.

These are priceless. It's rare I laugh this hard at SNL. Oh, my side hurts.

...Um? Advanced corrupted fiendish pseudonatural carrion crawler? This is one of those DM prep things.

That is an excellent idea. Hm.

I feel you. My long-term girlfriend dumped me this year, and I'm not feeling the spirit either. Tree's probably going to stay in the closet.

Depends on his ethnicity. If he's a member of a minority, he'll probably be tried as an adult and face a stiffer sentence.

Yeah, dwarves aren't even a playable race IMC--but gnomes are. More gnomes!

Man, thread necromancy is creepy. :uhoh:

Not often enough. I generally DM once per month, and I'm always striving to challenge the PCs--you know, give them the most bang for their buck since we play so infrequently. It's easy to forget that players get great pleasure just owning up on bad guys once in a while.

That's what my ex-girlfriends would tell me. I wonder if it's relevant that they're my ex-girlfriends. :uhoh:

The Eberron dinosaurs remind me of John Carter of Mars, Conan, and Dinotopia. Pure pulp. I dig 'em.
