so how do pc's go up a level in your game? the players handbook i have (enter number here) xp, i'm level X now! do you make the players fork over some hard earned loot? how much do you charge? i've read the section in the dmg, seems to be just a bunch of ideas that could be put into use if you...

i agree completely with this rant. most fantasy settings are not based on reality and therefore any and all rules of science can be discarded at will. they are based on a mythological setting where the sun might not be a ball of gas but in fact a god riding his chariot through the sky. but it's...

i was in a campaign for a while. i found that the primary difference in the magic was in the lack of utility for casters. my character was a wizard, now in dnd i could find traps, open doors, identify and create magic items and the like. in EQ, all i could do was nuke, nuke, nuke. one rule i did...

lately i find myself itching to blast robots with a laser pistol or wrist mounted rocket launchers or some such thing from the back of a jetbike. the problem is i don't want to play rifts and it's the only sci-fi game i am really familiar with. so i guess some sci-fi games and where they excell...

talk to them? out of character? madness! "yes the archmage asked sean for a pepsi, what of it?"

when the players refuse to let the cloaked figure sit down, actively avoid paying attention to the bard, tell the serving wench "less talk, more ale", and don't leave the same in game room for 2 hours of real time. how can i not have the watch's level 15 fighters with saps arrest them on a...

you mean you have been given an opportunity to actually use my favorite weapon? and you're not jumping all over it? man i wish i could use the stump knife from the forgotten realms campaign setting without writing it into the lev 1 character background myself. colour me green friend, green...

well, i spent 5 years gaming with a terrible dm. horrifically unbalancing rule changes "for flavor", refusal to kill a character who deserved death for his complete stupidity (my character, i'm not a jealous player type) claiming every time that the next campaign would be low magic, then...

show any ammount of restraint in the face of a diety. the paladin said "well you know what, i'm kind of drunk right now, come see me tomorrow." to his diety after an adventure left him without his paladinhood. they attack the central villian who recently attained minor diety status every time...

by the 30 Years War (central europe/Germany about 1615-1645)the musket had become the most common personal weapon on the battlefield for the infantry. officers were still carrying swords and the cavalry units would carry and use swords as a regular weapon until the end of the Crimean War...

well, i've got my group to about 13-16 level and i'm running into a bit of a problem. i've got nothing to put them up against. i've got plenty set up for 20+ but in the mean time, i'm stuck for how to get them there. i just am not sure how to challenge the party without wiping them off the face...

nobody has taken me up on the offer yet but here are my house rules: 1. 30%xp penalty 2. gestalt must be done at first level 3. no prestige classes or changing classes until epic level is achieved 4. i set the base classes up in trees and told players they could not gestalt 2 classes in...

just a little clarification, my group is decidedly against pc vs pc combat. there is just a huge difference in the personalities of the two players. and the seperation between reality and my game is blurring. by the time the mage lightning bolted the psion (not a class even generally allowed in...

ok, the group of players i have right now is great with one possible exception. two of the players in the group seem to be more and more often taking out of game disputes into the game. first, any advice on how to stop that? there is the obvious talking to them about it, which i have tried, both...

i am in the midst of my first campaign as a dm in a few years, it is set in a severly altered version of the dragonlance setting (the books were my intro to dnd, i'm revisiting). the character's are between 13th and 16th level after a winter of gaming. anyway, the ranger within the group just...

anyone know where to find a decent mapping program for outdoors, dungeons, towns,etc. ideally i would like campaign cartographer and its add ons but they are over priced for the amount that i would use them. anybody have any suggestions?

well, congratulations indeed, i am a person who has played more characters that took prestige classes then those who have not. i still remember when that first 3e character finally qualified for loremaster. the reason i love them so much is that "summoner" or some such thing sounds so much...

every time i bring this up with my group, the question of who will run it comes up. it's a setting everyone wants to play but few want to run. i think my next cmpaign will be there after whatever my return to dragonlance campaigning turns into (please god, no kender or gnome players) i still had...

after convincing the noncom officers of an army that their superiors and king were in league with devils (they were) and watching them kill said superiors and turn home to fix their troubled nation's problems. a couple hours of roleplayingwas wasted by chris, a fellow player running up and...

the best campaign i was ever involved in began with a minotaur and a ninja meeting on the road and not killing each other because the two players didn't know eachother verry well and didn't want to start anything. they travelled to the nearest town and had some drinks. it got much better after a...
