    Where have your favorite campaign ideas come from?

    This last campaign I gave my players a choice. Get a job or have fun at the fair. They split the party and threw sand at each other in the sandbox. Yet in the end they figured out to varying degrees of correctness what was going on and acted accordingly.

    DRAGONS, An Alternate Take on a Classic Foe

    In my game all dragons regardless of colour and type, breathe fire (hot or cold flames), exhale toxic fumes and spit acid. Few dragons are a pure colour including white, grey and black. Fewer have a metallic sheen or crystalline sheen. Most are a shade, tone or tint of a true colour. The four...

    D&D 5E (2014) Post your oldest PC!

    My first character was Tasha the half elf assassin. "Paladin killer (sorry no dual rapier wielding gnomes), lying, manipulative, deceitful and murderous wench". At seventh level, someone perhaps Malcanthet (no one really knew) took her away to become someone or thing "greater".

    D&D 5E (2014) Players with multiple characters

    My players have alternates for the times when their primary characters are doing something else. So they run the alternate. The player who had her paladin on a diplomatic mission ran her sage while the paladin was away. One of the magicians whilst stoking her wizardly furnace to create an item...

    Have you ever gotten choked up during the game?

    Most Needed Minis

    I make my own minis, I simply have a problem with finding sewing patterns. I also alter existing plushy toys into other things. One pattern I have found. https://smallwork.com/dragon-patterns.html An alteration for this one is to change the eye and add other eyes to make a beholder. My...

    Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

    I would go along with mythology and have the elf stuck in female form until the child was born. As Loki could not resume his form when changed into a mare while carrying Sleipnir.

    D&D 5E (2014) Help me build an undead warband

    You could always use a Death Master npc. http://dnd.arkalseif.info/classes/death-master/index.html The original which imo is a little more nasty. https://annarchive.com/files/Drmg076.pdf

    On making a memorable character

    I have found the most memorable characters to be those who did not take the obvious standard choices during creation (the mage without magic missile) and those who take actions that are not part of their archetype (the thief that voluntarily steps in front of an opponent's strike and "tanks" the...

    Language is like an Onion

    In my game I have treated language similar to German. You have the "high language" that is considered to be the "king's" language which very few can read or write. This is followed by dialects which are very similar but have differences such as the difference between High German and Bayerisch...

    As a player: prefer Homebrew or Published settings?

    I prefer a home brew setting over a published one. Regardless any GM or player can ruin the game. I find it more indicative of other games where the problem of ruining a published setting exists.

    Capturing and Training Monsters

    I do not allow intelligent speech and tool using monsters to be trained. No dragons for example. My players once considered the costs of having exotic steeds. However the additional upkeep, having to have separate corrals and stalls that may not always be available turned them off the idea.

    Oh cleric what are thou? When most classes can heal...

    For my game I have limited what arcane healing can do. Arcane casters use a "slot", they roll for a random amount of healing, a lessening of conditions due to disease, poison, toxins, etc... Under no circumstance can they bring back the dead, reattach limbs, or perform other "miracles". Arcane...

    Timelines in your Setting

    I use a timeline to define origins and events. Three thousand years ago the priests and sorcerers of (Egyptian area) created the anthropomorphic races (lizardmen, minotaurs, etc..,) in the image of their gods. These beings rebelled and destroyed the former empire. The survivors live in ruined...

    D&D 5E (2014) Can a Phantom Steed pull a wagon?

    Making Race Matter

    In my game each race has ten characteristics. Each characteristic has four levels. A player may have up to four levels of characteristics. Four at level one, one at level four or any combination that adds to four. Higher characteristic levels offer "more power". Examples: A faerie may choose to...
