    On Presentation, Performance, and Style- Players and DMs

    I prefer to give my players the opportunity to use their imaginations. When describing a person or place my goal is to use a single paragraph for important persons, less for a minion. Music, I let my players play what they like, though I prefer symphonic music over songs. Several times the...

    Three wizards against two adult dragons

    Nebulous The hirelings will be carrying daggers, hand axes and any tools which might double as a weapon. This is due to the local Count's orders on what may or may not be carried within the city. The characters do have an opportunity to hire help from the Wyvern's Wing Inn and Tavern if they...

    Three wizards against two adult dragons

    Paul Farquhar ...creatures in my game do not follow the traditional characteristics that are printed in the various rule books. The dragons in my game are more akin to what has been presented in the Game of Thrones show. As an illustration for how npcs work in my game, if playing a traditional...

    Three wizards against two adult dragons

    Three wizards in my game have expressed a desire to go out, find and slay two dragons (drakes) that took part in the first attack on their city and homeland. The wizards are: 1 Tenth level summoner who only summons, no spells. For those who play Shadowrun he would be a conjurer adept. His...

    Shadowrun Sixth World Beginner Box Review

    @Abstruse I am guessing that this might happen; from what you have seen in the character dossiers would it appear that concentrations and specializations will be in place for extra edge? For example: firearms, pistols, ares predator 5

    D&D 5E (2014) How do you handle the "economy killing spells" in your game?

    If there were a wizard using mend, which was putting a damper on the Tailor's Guild ability to make money, the Tailor's Guild might hire someone like me to gut the wretched arcanist one evening. I do believe that people have been killed for less.

    Shadowrun Sixth World Beginner Box Review

    Karl Kombatmage "Das ist umglaublich!" :p @Abstruse It appears that the karma pool of 3e which was replaced by edge is now a smaller edge pool, yes? I wonder if 6e will help improve the character composition I find. It is tiresome for me to have the majority of players creating magician...

    Firearms

    77IM I run two initiative tracks, one for melee using ten second blocks the other for ranged weapons using a one minute block. This works better for my math. I use dice as a sort of clock to count down the seconds. My Eldritch Knight player was so happy when leading his pikemen up a hill when...

    On the Origins of Dragon Species

    I too have tossed out the typical breath weapons based on colour. In my world all dragons regardless of colour, breathe fire (hot or cold), spit acid, exhale toxic fumes and may have venomous bites, some might be able to generate a shock of static electricity. Dragons being an apex predator...

    When it comes to mounts, familiars, and minions, who gets to control them at your table, the player or the GM?

    It is situational. When our paladin is mounted she controls her warhorse, when dismounted I do. Men at arms can be given orders and they will follow them to the best of their ability so long as the orders are clear and not suicidal. They will take the safest path to accomplish a given task.

    How rare is this weapon in our campaign?

    Extremely rare as my players would melt it down and have it reforged into two smaller blades.

    How often does your party use a potion of healing

    As Sacrosanct posted. The thieves in my game have alienated most of the other characters. They have placed their self interests above the party interests. Greed. There is an extreme amount of nasty stabbings going on in the back alleys of the city in a guild versus guild war. Many fights with...
