The goblin starts having his coins vanish from his pocket to pay infernal spousal and/or paternal child support.

Thank you, I now have Bauhaus Bela Lugosi's Dead stuck in my mind.

As GM or player I generally have no feelings about the kind of character a player brings to the table. I only draw the line when it makes no sense. "Your character is the twenty year old son of your previous twenty four year old character?" We had a player, he was a nice enough fellow but...

I have used from previous editions having to use the blood of the medusa to reverse the petrification. However a medusa has a finite amount of blood within her body. Will it be enough for each of the former characters? Having the players chose with characters are restored are not would create...

I am reminded of the often banned Shadowrun spells; orgasm and orgy.

In my game there have been seven deaths, five maimings, two mutilations and a disappearance. Characters have more attacks and a higher chance of critical hits in my game than found in a standard one.

You could use the weather to indicate if the water is calm or not, causing the sea to be normal or difficult terrain. A failed piloting check could mean the guns cannot be fired as the shot would hit the waves.

With polymorph you replace the fighter's mental attributes with those of a toad. What would a toad do when suddenly confronted by a noisy fight between much larger beings? I think it would hop away for cover, assuming that it was not somehow stuck inside the armor and clothing the fighter was...

You might find The Dark Eye 4e to be of interest.

I have felt that parts of Greyhawk were analogous to sections of the Forgotten Realms. In particular "The Wild Coast" versus "The Sword Coast" With the city of Greyhawk being either Neverwinter or Waterdeep.

The vast majority of foes my players face are also playable races or a member of an anthropomorphic race created through the twisted faith of priests and sorcerers long ago. A true beast is both rare and wonderful and taking one is near legendary. In our game this is why Bard would be made king...

I run a sandbox West March type of campaign with ten players. Each player has a primary character and two alternates. Everyone shows up to play every two weeks for the main quest. Yet during the interim everyone be it primary or alternate characters has side quests. The first part of the main...

Perhaps the druid shift into a fire newt or something similar?

Curious, for those who know more about firearms, how would you represent the special ammunition that are available for shotguns? Such as the dragon breath rounds. I can imagine sneaky goblins using illusion to appear as dragonborn, firing dragon breath from shotguns at a group of humans. They...

Where is the option for Ophiuchus? Thieves like snakes are not to be trusted, for, they have no honor.

There are firearms in my world, however, the players have never used them due to maintenance and stealth. The only exception was during a mass combat when the thieves thought it would be fun to turn a cannon on an enemy formation and fire a charge loaded with the utensils taken from a cook's...

I ran parts of NWN 1 and 2. The players never knew it until the end.

I do not understand how people can be surprised that in a game where one uses their imagination that the preference is to play something you cannot be in the real world. I wager some would blame Harry Potter for the number of wizardly players, at least until the next series of books or films is...

I have druids following the Old Gods who are powerful nature spirits with generic names. The man in the wood, the river maiden, so forth. Priests follow the new gods which amount to any published pantheon. An illustrative difference is from Game of Thrones, where the children of the forest...

Generally I would start over with a future "mystery" being; What happened to this other group of heroes? However my current group is in the habit of nearly always splitting the party. Now I have the predicament of having three main characters who are also the highest level in a situation where...
