That's good news. Although I still prefer to create my campaigns from scratch as I alter a lot of stuff.

..or the cat takes you apart :cool:

You can do espionage with basically any system. And despite the technological part of espionage nowadays, there is still a lot humans will need to do. Or you could place it all in the 80s, Problem solved. I did love Burn Notice up to a point where it became a little bit too complicated and...

After reading the "professional GM"thread I was wondering.

I have an issue with "professional" GMs. I guess because there is more demand than can be met, some people may pay for it but it feels wrong. Well, ok, you could say I do get paid as well when players pay for my food, my PDFs and books or help me finance the next interesting tabletop software...

Been there, happened to my chars. I had a harmless "want to go out and see the world because it sounds like fun" fighter gal turn into a psychotic evil murderer just because the backstory developed a life of its own, as it so often happens. I wanted to scrap it at first but then I thought, hey...

Yeah I will do that. Last time I got no reminders so it got me a little confused. :-)

For some reason I got another mail about handing in playtest reports but I did that a long time ago I may have to go over to their boards and check what was up with that, because I don't even have my notes anymore

I love to plot ahead and plan the world around the PCs When they go off track, as in almost always unless it is an adventure path or the like, I get all excited and can't wait to see how it will turn out However,the world around them continues So most likely, they will hear about the paths not...

Locations, mostly, both planets and planetary sites.

But you can do that without extensive notes, in fact you will have to make up NPCs on the spot a lot anyway. Example from Friday night, player who is playing the inkeeper's daughter in a village setting asked if there was any strong lad her age she could take with her on an overnight watch...

I've gone to either take existing NPC books for inspiration or make up stats on the spot as they are needed. no one will be any the wiser, all I need to think about is AC, Saves, BAB, and possibly loot. Which i tend to make up on the spot a lot. Skills? If they ever need to roll them, it is...

Teheee.. well maybe if he only hires religious bards, like a church choir.

Oh he'll hire a few clerics who can create food and drink plenty of times per day. Or someone who can cast Heroe's Feast. ;)

Just wow...looking at this thread I thought "50 shades... err pages of grey." From the original post, it has spread out like a break in a strained glass. But just taking the original post it is not railroading at all as long as players have any option and can basically attempt what they want...

Up to me as DM to let something snap if it is appropriate (as long as it isn't me haha). Happens every now and then.

DSA is set up in a way that you will always need to refer to past books, no matter which version, because it is a living world. The rules for 5th edition simply assume you want to play a changed set of rules. The world stays the same and you need to know it. At least if you want a continuing...

If I allow them to change the world one way or the other, they will. If I don't want the poor Hobbits to suffer I can always send NPC adventurers to later make fun of the original group of cowards.

Some companies, like Paizo, avoid this well. I never noticed me using too many male or female NPCs, one of my DMs however told me he has no real clue how to believably portraying a female woman in power without going back to RL defaults who aren't very heroic. He doesn't want to play them in...

I wonder if there really is such a difference between countries when it comes to female players. No such issue in Germany, at all, although most of them play other games than D&D/PF simply because there are good (and bad) German alternatives and lots of people for some reason still have little...
