I appreciate the suggestion but I'm not going to do anything with the Code. First, these are kids and they're not looking for deep, meaningful roleplaying. They're still somewhat new and I am going to Go Slow with them. The player didn't pick the class because of the Code, so I'm not going to...

After running a few sessions for some teens I now sat down and made characters with them. One has went with an evil rogue, another with a Deva shaman, and a third is going with a Paladin of Helm. For those who don't know, Helm is the God of Guardians, Protectors and the Protected. Worshiped by...

I was thinking about this over lunch. This idea isn't a really great Adventure, but it makes for an interesting dilemma to the PCs: A nearby village has a special bell installed in a watch tower called the Beacon of True Reflection. If any shapechanger, creature which can change its appearance...

My knowledge of Zietgeist is very poor, so I'm at a loss for providing info with context. What's a silver moon btw? One thought is that either a town, or a Fey Hunter, has a stockpile of Cold Iron weapons/defenses. The Unseelie are planning to wreak havoc (or vengeance on the Hunter), but first...

Sounds great. Let me know when you get the kickstarter going. :D

Hey ConnersRPG! :) I wound up initially using some character sheets I threw together, that were very basic and (quite frankly garbled). Recently I just printed off the traditional PDF Char Sheet. We haven't played the last two sessions. I was ordering some more player books and they just...

Consider my check already in the mail. However, one reward I would love would be to pick an objective I'd like to see appear in the book (the essential nature of the objective/rules). Unless you plan on writing up a lot of objectives. (Honestly I'd like to see the objective rules provided...

Oh! I forgot another variation of this. Say instead the woman is with child, either pregnant or has the baby in her arms. She runs into the Keep one dark night, wild eyed, and won't leave the chapel. Strange things happen around the Keep. Eventually she is made to leave the Chapel. That night...

Vulnerability. If you're basing your Keep on a typical real-world one (multiple buildings within a fortified wall), then it's very vulnerable on one front: attack by air. A winged monster could easily fly into the Keep. So a rampaging dragon might drop from the sky. Flying monsters (Gargoyles...

Yesterday's game was wacky. First I found out that one of the kids who signed up (one of them who wrote me that letter) just can't play Sundays, due to no ride. Sad. So I only have 3 players, which is annoying. The session started with a distraught miner showing up with the tale that something...

I think it's easier to tuck the Spirit World into the Feywild, but with some rules. Primal Spirits have a dual existence within the Feywild and the Prime. Their physical bodies live in the Feywild, but they can see into the Prime and through their domain can interact with it (i.e. a forest...

One step closer to D&D: My Little Pony. Dude I can play Twilight Sparkle! Oh I promise you that you can mount a half-orc. Donno about the equipment of dragonborn. ;)

It's not a PUB, but I once ran a D&D demo (really, a "here's how the rules work" combat sequence) in a Tennessee mall food court. The only bystander reaction we received was an old woman asking us what we were playing, and when I replied D&D, she said "Oh my grandson would like that!"

What's all this "Take 10/static attack" business? Are people assuming that's even possible? I doubt that's going to happen. Besides, how is "opposing rolls" at all D&D?

Oh I'm not worried about people being unpleasant. It's just the size of the crowds. It gives a claustrophobic feeling. However, I found an explanation that PAX counts people [i]each day[/i} (If you have a 3 day pass, they count you 3 times). So there may be 20,000 actual bodies in the building...

I'm definitely buying the Dungeon Survival Guide - if it has kobolds as PCs in it, I'm buying it. Very curious about Undermountain. I'll have to see reviews of it, but I might pick that up. Aside from that, I don't recall many other actual products coming out. Besides, the more I read about 5e...

I actually sent Willi an email, then looked up PAX and found out that last year's PAX EAST had 70,000 people. I... that's maybe too many people for me to handle. On an unrelated question, what happens at PAX? What are the various events? I can't find an actual schedule anywhere that...

That was me saying that - one was hung-over and decided he needed MORE alcohol the next day. The age range was 13 14 14 15 or thereabouts. @riotshieldnation I had the fortune of someone having already done this a year ago, so the coordinator was already familiar with the premise and...

Sorry for the lateness of the play report. I played Sunday. So 3 kids who signed up showed, and 1 just walked up, asked what we were doing, and decided to play. I started the game with a very simple set of open-ended questions. "So there was a bar-fight last night. Who started it?" Two...

Sure, within one standard deviation. But what is being measured? ;)
