Drugs. Good way to keep minions loyal. It doesn't have to be that they are after power - just pleasure. Though... that probably only is justification for NPCs, not PCs.

D&D is my antidrug! Marilyn Manson doesn't claim to kill people. I've listened to a lot of his stuff. I know that 'underground' hip hop, isn't that gangbanging crap. It's underground though... meaning not as popular? As for the famous rappers... how do you know they don't do all the things...

Hehe. Miscellaneous 'art' objects.

Maldin, that was hilarious. Many props.

Cast spell: gold to straw Cast spell: fire A kajillion points to anyone who can name the video game I just referenced.

He is clearly an Ur-Priest.

Try making the romantic object an NPC that has equal or greater combat potential than the PCs. If the romance pans out, it won't force a change of pace. As for handling the dialogue, I'd say, even if you speak in first person with most NPCs, consider using "she says, blah blah blah" for...

This sounds like a really fun idea - for the GM and all the players. Hoorah.

I'm sorry, this cracked me up. It still cracks me up. I gotta second the tiefling - a humanoid struggling against the imperfections of its birth, and outcast for no other reason than what he is. That's something I can identify with.

There is a difference between groups with people aged 12 to 60 and a 40 year old wanting to join a group of 20 year olds. It *is* weird. There is additional common ground in the 20 year old group, and adding a 40 year old breaks that up. A 40 year old inviting 20 year olds to play in a game he...

I once lost a best on the plural of apparatus. I was very sad indeed.

It's not just that the DM targetted him when he was weak. The player decided to go into a situation where he should have known the character was out of his league, while he was low on resources, and he didn't bring any allies. If the attunement thing is not how it's supposed to work, then yes...

Sorry, I did mean Exalted 2e. (I do realize this is a d20 primarily forum). Just a little more background on the story here... Yeah, Solar Exalted are supposed to kick butt and chew bubblegum, etc. when they are in Creation, or when they are old. This particular solar was in Yu Shan (heaven)...

I'm playing in an Exalted game, and the DM had an enemy use a charm to snatch a PC's artifact weapon. The enemy was basically a thug with two friends. The PC was all alone, and out of resources. The thugs offered to give it back in return for payment. He basically told the thugs to get bent, and...

That strip is the best reason to have a vastly different alignment than your mom.

I'm not sure this matters. I mean, unless you're talking about international communism, you need to be talking about communism within a subset of all population. There's no reason why that subset can't be an adventuring party. Communist countries don't distribute their wealth to all of the...

Zombie. Other ideas... The teeth and claws should be able to be made into masterwork daggers and shortswords (and maybe have them do +1 acid damage). Dragon bile could be a potent poison. The bones of a massive flying creature should probably be hollow and very strong. Maybe they could be...

I have a similar problem in my current gaming group. I am what you might call a... goal-oriented player. It's not that role-playing is not a part of the game for me, it's that I am interested in chatting with NPCs only to further in character goals - not just to chew the fat. There is another...

I think it would be a great idea to have psychoses induced by in-game events. Cybernetic implants shouldn't cause alienation, but just make characters more vulnerable to gaining new psychoses. The actual implantation might force a check for a new psychosis too. I have to say though, people...

Not that I'm telling you what to do... but you do realize that by offering 1/4 the going rate, you are undercutting other writers and contributing to lower pay for everyone, right? I don't want to get into politics, so I'll just say this... you should seriously consider if taking a job for...
