    Dark Sun: Where are the Fans?

    I have tooled around with the 1st Edition Psionics, converting them into 5e compiant powers. Using this, I test ran a Wild Talent Human Wizard in a one shot. Unfortunately it made him insanely over powered at first level.

    How Do You Get Your Players To Stay On An Adventure Path?

    I have long since stopped trying to drive or direct at all. I have found that if they take the game even somewhat seriously, then out of at least some level of respect to the efforts of the gm (moi) they at least try and figure out/solve whatever puzzle that's been placed before them. This...

    HMS Victorius

    Nobody said it was easy Oh, it's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start Her name is Claire and she's an enchanted Apple 2e. And she is destined to control the magnificent (and once very leaky) HMS Victorius, a 74...

    How Do You Get Your Players To Stay On An Adventure Path?

    The biggest issue I run into, when it comes to keeping the game on track - is distractions from out of game stuff. I have had to start enforcing a phone/tablet/laptop moritorium during the game. That and the endless debates about what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong when it...

    Jacksonville Florida ~ Pathfinder/3.5 Group needs new blood

    The current incarnation of our gaming group began in 2004, and over time evolved. We started out playing a homebrew hybrid of 2.0, and worked our way to 3.5, and now we're moving firmly towards Pathfinder. Unfortunately we're in a Military town, so our group has suffered losses of players as...

    Kalak Rising - Preamble

    like the revenant it was, the muscle, flesh and sinew was dried and brittle, yet it's sheer force was overwhelming. Clearly not alive, clearly not dead - the ancient creature clearly existed on that precipice in the middle. He'd never seen one, he'd only heard stories. The last Dragon, Borys...

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    The last part of Try 2 The Shadow Weave allows them to come and go without alerting the Essence of Hope, though they still don’t realize there is one, to counterbalance the Voice of Malice. Using the Wormhole (described in Dragon Kings) ability, Salarus gates a massive army within and about the...

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    About 15 years ago or so a buddy of mine and I bought up every oriental themed lead mini we could find, pretty much hit up every gaming store in Virginia, DC area, Maryland and Delaware. Our gaming group then spent a marathon week or so of painting and mounting - and viola, we had the combined...

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    To make things fun, and a bit challenging - we would spend a few hours each game day randomizing/role playing several YEARS worth of actions - depending on the role play and the rolls, would depend on how sucessfull their endeavors were. It sped things along nicely.

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    The Voice of Malice was inspired by “Evil” from the 5th Element. Not a Moon on a collision course for Greyhawk, instead an spiritual sentient embodiment of all things dark and malign of this world. Unable to take form, Malice works through agents, this go-round our fabulous party. It turns...

    Creating your Character vs. Meeting your Character

    My gaming group got so wound up with twinking and builds (one guy told us that by 10th level, within the rules, his AC would be 100) - then made me really dizzy when he proceeded to show me how... So after this ... using an old Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Players Handbook - (1st Edition) - I...

    I feel like ****

    Like you, I have had to boot the occasional player - but one of the things I have found which makes things a bit easier, is as soon as things start to escalate and the group begins to grumble, I let the offender know right there and then they're on thin ice. I'm a two strike guy. Once I have...

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    Drow Dilemma An interesting note about our two Drow: The first one, the Fighter Mage, is being played by the guy who'd been in our group for the better part of 6 years (another 5 or so with a few previous groups). The second one (Assassin Sorcerer) is a relative newcomer, who's also been...

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    And for our second try... GREYHAWK! Our erstwhile adventurers seemed to think they'd learned a thing or two from our last attempt at world domination, so they negotiated with the me to be a tad more powerful to start off with, mroe on this later. I delayed the beginning of this attempt, for...

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    And that’s how it began… our 1st level Teifling Gestalt Sorcerer/Blackguard (named Jharun) was drawn across the area to find the other Chosen, and upon meeting them, he “touched” them, where they received a vision of a possible future, with them ruling the world. Our first sitting comprised...

    It's that time again! My GAMING GROUP TAKES OVER THE WORLD!

    Allright, I tend to be a very strict DM when it comes to the alignments and types of characters my players get to play. The following are forbidden: All three Evils (Chaotic, Lawful and Neutral) and of coarse the most Evil of All: Chaotic Neutral. I get to play the Bad Guys (critters/NPCs...
