    Romance of the Three Kingdoms/Ancient China D&D? (my players KEEP OUT)

    yes i did and i'll tell you right now i lifted maps, npc personalities, and so much more from the dynasty warriors gamesalso by koie. i have not played the last few rottk games but dynasty warriors 2-4 gives you a great visual style for the game and really gave me some ideas for running mass...

    Swashbuckling help needed... my players stay out!

    all i know is when the npc warrior who trounced them on initiative uses his first attack to lunch a stool into the air, his second to blast it at the pc's and his third to shove a table at them, they start to get both horrified and creative really quick. also, to add that "hong kong action" feel...

    Hand outs for new players?

    i basically just described sharn as i saw it and said "play whatever you want as long as it's from sharn, i just got the book." as my campaign goes, it will expand their and my understanding of the world.

    white wolfs new Vampire: The Requiem

    the new wod book is phenominal, i didn't play a lot of vtm before buying the book (as in i joined a group about a month ago) but it addressed all my major concerns with the system in general. botching when i had a big dice pool more often then the small ones fundamentally bothered me and...

    How do your players view the Purple Dragons?

    i usually played them as aloof and arrogant but just trying to do their jobs and it really depends on the character, the cleric of torm got along with them swimmingly but the chaotic neutral swashbuckler did not quite so much get along with them as not overtly try to kill them in public.

    Are we tired?

    the great thing about canada is getting a cold in august, i am in fact sick. this leads me to being tired. i'm more tired of my players ignoring plot hooks.

    Help me Pay my Paladin!

    start giving them title, or gifts from the rescued, it's rude to turn down such things. they, being clerics and paladins with decent diplomacy ranks should know this.

    Having trouble getting into character

    i've often found that the easyest way to do this is to actually sit down and make the character more then a set of stats on a character sheet. figure out where he is from, who his friends were growing up, his family, who did he apprentice with, what are his goals. make the character a person...

    How to ruin a campaign? ;)

    if it's dark and moody with low magic, just make a nice glut of stealthy magic items. without high magic defenses, monarchs have no chance. allways play a chaotic neutral rogue, even if he is called a lawful good paladin. kill a halfling just for fun and bronze his skull, use it as the head...

    What was the best character you played...

    not a ninja, never actually had the opportunity to play one. i should rectify that one soon. Remmy, a shrill voiced, scottish/mexican mixed accent having, loudmouthed, fire tossing drunkard psychotic freak created under the 2e revised rules. couldn't go on consecrated ground, animals refused to...

    How far do your players go to accomodate a new character?

    well in the campaign in which i play my new character was a cleric rogue. the main the party has had problems with is the local guard (basically an extortionist theives guild) and my character is a member. he admitted it upon meeting them as he was clearly marked as such. there were some...

    Silly Character Names

    i'm sorry, i hate naming characters. though i try not to name them after literary characters, other characters i have played or using puns. unless they are fake language puns. ie a minotaur named nach dun. head great (you sicko) in klingon. even as a dm i have become notorious for not naming...

    How long have you been posting on ENWorld?

    once there was a guy who had spent years looking for quality AD&D material on the internet, his nightly searches brought him across a site called eric noahs 3e speculation page or some such thing with a link to a schoolteacher's campaign notes and a page that informed me that at some thing...

    Popular Campaign Settings

    my other was the scarred lands, i don't like the price of the new dragonlance stuff. it made me verry unhappy to see my former favorite stomping grounds cost so much.

    D&D with no Armour: could it work?

    the wheel of time setting book also has a system and uses classes similar to base dnd. they are used to make up for the lack of magic items but they could aso replace armor. conversion would be fairly simple.
