Individual character story aside (because my campaigns always include the evolution of character stories alongside the main story), the part I'm focusing on in the article is that there are people who actually act obnoxiously about individual authority, power, and the glory of the spotlight. In...

I was a D&D player first (89), Metallica fan second (~95), and honestly don't know much about Lovecraft's work, or any derivatives thereof, outside of what my cousin used for his home campaigns back when we were in high school. What he concocted, or what was 'authentic' is beyond my knowledge...

Aww, sorry Sacrosanct - I did go and give this thread a five star rating to counter that evil one star though, so I hope that helps a little ;) I put my evil downvote into Hobbit last cycle, I had to put it somewhere else this time - I feel dirty every time I put down one of these movies.

For my primary group, if I ever had a terribly easy encounter for them, I'd be booed out of my own house (where we play), so the best way for me to ensure this is a dynamic encounter based on which resources a player chooses to use when - but I've been with them for 15+ years, so that's just...

Sometimes I do, depending on how much they're getting beat up, and how much healing there is in the party already. My long-term group prefers much grittier D&D play, so we have to use custom healing rules for long rests as is (healing to full hit points just doesn't cut it with these guys and...

Understand what you're getting at now. I can see how DMs who aren't used to a specific player, or that specific type of play will have a lot of trouble adapting, for sure. Yeah, I absolutely employ the "dynamic encounter" approach myself, making situation difficulty not based on any sort of...

I'll add that the last time I played MtG was "Urza's Saga" series, and the cards were becoming ridiculously overpowered compared to the old cards I liked collecting. Then again I had a Sliver Deck which was just obscene. What's the power bloat like these days? Have they reigned in it? As a...

Can you give me a specific example of this? I ask not argumentatively, I add, but only in that I've not had to deal with rules lawyers in a very long time because my table has a strict 'confront after the session' policy, even when I DM at the FLGS, so I'm curious how this impacts live play, or...

A magic item I used in a recent campaign for a Paladin player of mine: Warhammer of Loyalty Whenever the Paladin uses his Smite ability, one ally of his choice (other than himself) within 30 feet also heals equal to twice the number of Smite Damage Dice rolled. My campaign didn't have a lot of...
