Pawsplay, thank you the effort, your comments really help my game and me as GM. I really really hope I get someone like you to play in my games some day *long look to the sky*. It might be that the skill level with sai is fantastically and unrealistically superior beyond human norms, making it...

To put it short, I don't understand why superheroes use seemingly useless uniforms and gear. I'm about to start a superhero game on January, based on Marvel comics. However, I've gotta a realistic taste to things, and it seems that my game will be more like Heroes-flavored Marvel. Why would...

I agree, the chance of success should be higher. How about this: Keep your good idea of skill ranks between 1-5. All tasks go under a specific skill and under specific minimum rank. In a normal situation you inform this to the player: "Shooting an apple which is on top of someones head...

I agree, but how about this: The game itself is limited in-game. For instance, the players want to have lot of freedom to do things like, but they're unable to find solution in-game to do them. In the end they are attempting to do lots of things, but they fail most of the time. I remember the...

I for one, refuse to play my own game when I GM. That's for players! I don't lead my players. I ask them what they will do, and they fail or succeed on their own. Of course in a certain point I do give them hints, like for instance "Your character is so intelligent that he knows that it's most...

I'm sorry that I don't have an answer to your question, but I have something close if you're interested: Fugloy of Faroe Islands Fugloy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia With all due respect to our European brothers, Faroes are kind of isolated, in the sense of being a small collection of...

Kitsune and Rune, I have a solution to this puzzle, but I'm just seeing if this is too hard. Unbeknownst to players, one of the peasant who drank the potion was good, but there was no negative effect. However their failure to utilize alignment discerning magic at the time left this fact...

Thank you, but there is nothing there that answers comprehensively about to my question. I know CR's for avalanches, tornados, sandstorms and forest fires, but that's about it.

So I'm pondering, how to give XP for skill checks involving mountain climbing and other dangerous skills checks, such as deepwater diving etc.? In my view, you can have (at least) two approaches: a. Who can do it? Well, I could create a 1st-level human Expert who would've went through the whole...

I created a puzzle for my players. At the last second, I decided a one major change in the puzzle and it worked great... But the thing is that my players are having huge, unbearable problems with my puzzle... So... please guys, SOLVE MY PUZZLE! Wizard has loads of cursed potions of Bulls'...

Oh, this is the coolest thing ever! Last week we decided to play on this Thursday - today - because one of the players told us that it's best day of the week for her. So I wrote a mini-adventure for the whole party, and now just 8 hours before the game she sends me a text message telling me that...

Yessss yessss, this is it! I agree 100%! My name is Jon Dahl and... * hate cuty nerdy humor, a lá Discworld. "Let's tell lot of cute funny jokes, yeah this is! Everybody loves constant joking and putting things backwards! There's a funny wizard and Death is a funny robed man and there's funny...

Yes I do like it. Creating magic items should be more like a punishment, something that is hard and awful to achieve, and also reserved for high-level characters.

I like to hang with friends, doing something casual and imaginative, where everyone has right to do things in their own. Sharing jokes and trying (and often succeeding) to have fun. Stories have always been important for me, and cooperative story is even more fun!

As I read this thread, it's easy to warn fellow DM's about rolling stats. It's possible to create huge gap between abilities, but let's be honest here: Great optimizer can deal with bad abilities, bad optimizer still sucks even with all 18's. In my game I use the following point buy: 45 points...

Well you didn't add them to the permanent list, but it's fine. However, here's another one: Viriato, (? – 138 BC) LG Freedom fighter, tribal warrior, national hero "It seemed as if, in that thoroughly prosaic age, one of the Homeric heroes had reappeared." Viriathus - Wikipedia, the free...

THE UNNAMED GAME OBJECTIVE OF GAME To score goals by throwing the ball into the opposing goal or by running with the ball and entering the opposing goal. Team that scores more goals than opponent by end of game wins. DURATION OF THE MATCH The match lasts two equal periods of 1...

Thank you for the response. But I'd like something more subtle. Something more D&D-compatible. If I wanted a "simple" beatdown (in no way to offend Blood Bowl!) I'd have my players simply to fight gladiatorial matches. But in some ways Blood Bowl is also complicated with it's rules. It's hard to...

I've been toying with the idea of having an interplanar tournament, where different planes send their teams to compete for the grand price of Ring of Three Wishes. This would be a 14th-level adventure, with intrique on and off the arena. First I was thinking about simple gladiatorial combat...
