I like this, but I think I would try it this way: all non-metal weapons have -1 penalty attack rolls and -1 penalty to each die for damage rolls. Before you roll the attack roll OR before you roll the damage roll you can choose to negate the penalty. Weapon breaks on natural 1 attack roll or...

Game on tomorrow night, 7pm at University of Houston Clear Lake Student Center. We'll be making characters and running some "court intrigue" background stories.

RBDMs do not cause TPKs. RBDMs rejoice gloriously and grin wickedly as the players squirm in their chairs and glance furtively at each other begging someone else to take responsibility for the misery that they are suffering through their own actions. A favorite line of mine at the game table...

A new Vampire LARP is starting up in Hoston on Friday, June 11. For those familiar with the Houston LARP scene this is a resurrection of the classic "Rice Game" from the mid/late 90s hosted by some of the best storytellers around. The first game session will mostly deal with character creation...

Other: after I finish cackling with maniacal glee I ask everyone what they want to do next. Sometimes we roll new characters and pick up where we left off. Sometimes we start a new campaign. Sometimes another player takes over as DM.

Heh! Good story. Reminds me of one of my own. My eladrin warlord leaped on to the back of a large dragon with a mounted humanoid of some sort (forgetting details). After we killed the rider and the dragon was bloodied I readied action: Fey Step Trigger: the dragon dies under me and I'm...

disclaimer: not an RPGA member in many years RPGA membership is free and if you go to any event at which there are RPGA folks they can get you registered. In fact, probably the fastest way to do it is to show up to a Wednesday night encounters thing they are doing at game stores. In my...

Oh, I can just see all the cylons standing around in the hotel lobby looking for a Battlestar to board . . . looking shaky. :)

It's a really neat game. Diceless strategy FTW! Check out the rules here.

Nope, that's just a vacuous post you have there, sir. No XP for you! :)

Let's play A Game of Thrones board game on Saturday afternoon. The game supports 5 or 6 players. The game runs at least 3 hours, and probably closer to 5. Details: 12p - 5p, Saturday in the Fairfield hotel lobby. We might move somewhere else if that space is not good. Players: 1. Brent 2...

How about a game of Shadows Over Camelot? Sunday morning, 10 am, Fairfield Inn lobby. The game takes 1 -2 hours to play and accomdates up to 8 players. Best with at least 5. We could play one or two games before heading over to the picnic (that I assume will happen this year). Fairfield is...

Who wants to play some Dominion on Thursday evening? I have the Dominion game, Intrigue expansion and Seaside expansion, and plan on getting the Alchemy expansion. We'll have room to run 2 games of 4 people each. Thursday, 6:30 p - 10:00 p or so. Games run 20 - 40 minutes each and we can...

As you said, stun and daze are your friends. According to my DDI search-fu there are 772 creatures with daze powers. Quite a few of them are single target at-will powers. Also, there's 401 creatures with Stun powers. I doubt many of these are at-will powers, but it might be worth a look...

I'm totally flexible on start time . . . 6, 630, 7 . . . just so long as I don't spend the whole night sitting in a hotel lobby playing games about imaginary robot imposters with you dorks! :) It's Saturday night and there will be drinks calling my name from somewhere. And yes, Mark, the Nall...

I've been resisting buying this game. If it looks like we will have a hotel lobby full of cylons and humans fighting it out, it might be worth it for me to buy a copy. Missing from the list of attendees is one of my non-ENWorld friends. Three boards of fun.

Two boards of 7 each . . . and some players have to switch tables at halftime! :)

Shut up, Cylon! :p

I roughly follow the xp guidelines for D&D 4e, but I don't actually award XP. Instead I plan encounters and rewards such that we level once every 3 or 4 sessions. Probably they actually "earn" a little more XP than is necessary to make a level, but they don't notice the difference.

If my wife and I are angling for a date with a hot redhead . . . er, um Hey, Rel, see ya at GenCon? :)
