@Bagpuss : I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the article. The idea was from a friend and I don't think I fully did it justice. Because I didn't fully understand it, I ended up making jokes and probably not being very helpful. Your suggestions are excellent. I particularly like the geography idea for...

The GM (game master) has ultimate power. General advice is: don’t abuse this power. While you have the awesome ability to change the moon into the sun and switch the seasons on a whim, such things should be reserved for when you feel like a lark or other equally dire circumstances. Abusing your...

The one thing most good GMs are never short on is ideas. That’s why I’ve decided to dedicate this week’s article to just that: ideas for adventures. These are basically a dime-a-dozen, and any GM worth his salt can come up with about a thousand of them per minute. It’s writing down all this...

@kitsune9 : I disagree with it, too. Thank you. :) @ggeilman : Thanks, the gamers who came up with the core idea for the article will be glad to hear you agree. :) I generally don't like forcing things on my players, but the ideas to do so productively came from much wiser and better GMs than...

Article: 6 Ways to Force Stuff on your Players Most GMs would agree that forcing things on your players—no matter what those things are—is generally a bad idea. I’d be one of them. So, of course, the following article will outline some of the many ways you can force things on your party which...

Pretty darn awesome. :D

Whoa, I could potentially have the Basic D&D red book on my tablet and phone. That's so awesome! Too bad they don't give it to you for free if you can prove you already own about ten physical copies of a book. ;) Thanks for the info callinostros

delericho: Thanks so much! I hope I can keep up the good work. *** P.S. If anyone's looking for the 'back issues' lost when the server was hacked, I've been posting them all up on my website when the rights revert to me from En World. You can also get them on your mobile device in an RSS...

@TerraDave : This is a fine place to post any comments, in my opinion. I agree with you on all points. I like Tabletop Forge combined with Google Hangouts for the closes to 'real life' experience I know of. @Hussar : You're probably much more accomplished in this field than I am. I'm...

When I’m walking down the street, the question people most often ask me is, “Are you married?” but that’s completely beside the point of this article. One question I see popping up over forum boards again and again is, ‘How do I set up/keep going/not kill off my new campaign? I’ve seen whole...

Correct on all counts, gentlemen. Ha ha, it's so true that no player ever plays Lawful Good. I had forgotten that. All my players are Chaotic Good and Neutral Good usually. I'm the only one who ever plays Lawful Good (I always play it no matter what). I concede the point fully. :) Thanks for...
