Lagolas Yes, the player playing this character was a healthy adult person and alcohol had no part in this incident.

Just out of curiosity let me ask you this: How do you feel if a player completely forgets a game? I remember once when we only have three players signed up for a D&D session, which was agreed to be played about a month in advance. So plenty of warning? So when one of the players was about 15...

Prepare yourself for a surreal story from real life. I was considering to GM a super's game and one of the gamers at the club got excited about this. Since my game seemed to receive support, I wrote out an adventure path and started the game last January. Boyfriend of the gamer who...

After a long consideration I have decided to poof the group I've been playing with for 2½ years. We have a roleplaying club here in my city which is alive and well. It's always growing. However I got really sad when they pissed my superhero game, which was specifically requested from me... I...

Usually when we play RPGs we work as a group. Group of PCs adventure, kill enemies and take loot. Some do more, some do less for the group. The spotlight is never 100% equal for everyone. How about if the adventure requires everyone to step forward and act while others wait? Everyone has their...

I was just thinking, what would be decent rules for generic gladiatorial combat that would support any level of play and any campaign? I'm running Greyhawk and players are wishing to fight in Istivin's Circus. After a long consideration, I was thinking about the following rules: FIGHTS - After...

I think any adventure where you're not sure what is going to happen next and you're dying to know what kind of surprise is around the corner is great. It doesn't matter if it's railroad or not as long there's a certain level of anticipation going on all the time. And if you get jaded and think...

Idea is simple: Adventures should be about heroes and built around them. All the abilities, skills, feats etc. PCs have should count in some way during the sessions. If a player has a skill called "farming" it should count in some way because hero has invested in it. This sometimes is a big...

As mentioned, hp system and also magic don't go well with called shots. Especially True Strike makes things a bit complicated. So I have created a house rule which I've found to be rather brilliant: Called Shot is a fullround action which provokes AoO. It has either -4 (limbs), -8 (head) or -12...

I have one that you may find odd... It's a bit difficult to summarize it. We use interactive Google Document calendar for our games, so you just open an eenie weenie internet URL and type "yes", "no" or "maybe" to little box. It's so simple that it hurts. Rule #1 is If you have any decent...

I was thinking about making a druid that holds a certain ice cave as his sacred grove and is a sword protector of that site. But are ice caves natural places? So is protecting an (astonishingly beautiful) ice cave void of life a violation of ethos?

Few years ago I wrote introductory D&D-material for my 3.5 campaign. In order to prepare my newbie-players, I explained them what are the easiest and the hardest classes to play (in the right way). I went as a far as to list them from 1 (hardest) to 11 (easiest). This was one my list: 1. Cleric...

Please note that this is not ment to be an overly serious thread :) IRL bicycles are a relatively new invention and therefore very poor choices for quase-fantasy environment, BUT I'd like to have something new for the regular D&D. Something not too powerful but a fresh breeze into the game...

In the current group I'm DMing the party fighter has been very "successful" with his baffling idea of 1st wave/2nd wave-tactics. The idea is simple: First wave of adventures advance to potentially dangerous area. Second wave (the sole fighter) stays behind (sometimes quite far away) and comes...

I've been thinking about this a lot (too much) and I've got something along the lines of Rechan and Stormonu. KoB is a Duergar 9th-level Psion (Egoist) of Chaotic Neutral alignment. He was originally a partner of an evil Duergar telepath on an isolated tropical island in Azure Sea. They had...

I'd like to make an adventure starting with the following setup: So I got an unhealthy fixation to make an long adventure that begins like this, but I'm unable to think of anything really epic... Something interesting, new and fresh. Before you reprimand me of lack imagination, I can tell you...

One of my players fought a motel room. He was and (to some extent) still is a horrendous metaplayer. You gotta to be an amateur poker-player to be able to GM to him. So we were playing modern and they were chasing an assassin. Mr. metagamer went to check the motel room where he had been living...

How do feel about the significance of deity power levels? In case you don't know, we basically have seven(?) deity levels: quasi-deity, herodeity, demigod, lesser deity, intermediate deity, greater power and overdeity. Level names vary of course and quite frankly I'm confused with them, so...

To understand more about dungeons is to visit them yourself :) For natural "dungeons" I strongly recommend the true city of caves: Budapest. It has over 200 caves and I visited Pál-Völgyi this summer. It was a real eye-opener and gave me lot of insight for running D&D. One of the pics I took...
