    Fast ways to track Hit Points...need help

    I just use a paper and a pencil. I prefer subtracting from totals than adding up damage. I see no difficulty in this, but maybe you could try building a hitpoints/round spreadsheet?

    NPC to PC

    I do it all the time in my pbems. Sometimes a cool NPC in a game I DM i turn into a PC to play in someone else's game. The opposite also happens. Sometimes I create a character for someone;s game, then turn that character into an NPC in my own game. It is especially cool when I have a DM who is...

    Character Power Levels 1e/2e vs. 3.5e

    1e fighter wins. All he has to do is strip himself naked, getting an AC of 10. With his THAC0 he would easily hit the high AC 3.5 fighter every round, while the later would have a harder time breaking through the 1e fighter's 10 AC. =D I mean, really, even a level 1 1e fighter with a THAC0 20...

    How do YOU personalize adventures?

    I also like running my own material, but since life is a bit busy right now, I have decided to run offical adventures (in PBP format). The exception being an Eberron Campaign I am DMing to my table top group, but we only have one session per month, so it's ok. I don't usually take official...

    Is Larry Elmore still popular?

    To me, no other piece of art has managed to capture the spirit of companionship between heroic adventurers as Elmoore's dragonlance piece, showing the dragonlance saga heroes around the camp fire. I get inspired whenever I stare at that one.

    Coolest Underground Dungeons

    No. I am interested in the Dungeon, with it's inhabitants, echology and natural dangers&features.

    Coolest Underground Dungeons

    I am alot more comfortable with creating castles, labyrinths, etc, than creating underground dungeons. I am creating an adventure that would have a mountain underground dungeon in the beginning of it. Can anyone point me to a good module with a cool underground dungeon that I could use and...

    How does Playing by Email work?

    Oh, sure. A good number of posts sounds a lot more plausible, and something I think the OP could expect from PBEM/PBP games.

    How does Playing by Email work?

    Oh, a player posting 40 times a day I dont think is so out of the ordinary. Having all the players in the game posting 40 times a day each, is.

    About Dragon Flight

    Thanks, but that doesnt help with finding out how high a dragon can fly and still be able to see humanoids on the ground.

    How does Playing by Email work?

    Still, that has nothing to do with the speed of the game in itself. It has to do with the coincidence of having all your players online to reply to your posts during that specific combat. People live in different parts of the world, with different time zones, different lives, different...

    About Dragon Flight

    I will be using the geography of Toril to crete my own world, so it is a planet similar to Earth. Basically, I dont need to be pesky about the math, but I want to have a reference, that's all. If a dragon wants to travel without being spotted from tehn ground, then they cna just go for the...

    How does Playing by Email work?

    Resolving a combat in an hour doesnt have to do with fast posting from the DM part. Unless it is a single round combat and all your players post in less than an hour their actions. Or if you are resolving most of the combat on your own and the players just read it. The more players you have and...

    About Dragon Flight

    I'm creating an adventure where players will roleplay young dragons, and I realised that the travelling would be done mostly by flight, instead of the ground, so the perspective would be different. What I would want to ask you guys is: How high can a dragon fly? And how far into the horizon can...

    How does Playing by Email work?

    I DM and Play online for 8+ years and if you decide to engage in non-real time ronline roleplaying, like PBEM and PBP, you usually end up getting into multiple games, because it can be addictive and it is VERY slow. A good average posting rate for a PBEM game is 4 posts per player per week, and...

    Attracting new people to gaming -- ideas and strategies

    Well, it was meant as a joke. :p damnit, but wouldnt it rock to go to the groceries, buy some cheetos, some beer, and when you get to the cashier to pay for it, they start talking to you about the new books in the RPG market, and you go and grab a couple sourcebooks as well. I know I would...

    I've lost weight! Now what?

    Conga rats. You have done something must obsese people cant do. Which is to regain your normal weight. Mind you, though, that having a normal weight for your height doesnt mean having a healthy body. I used to weight 70kg and I am 6 feet tall. It is a good weight for my size, but I had lots of...
