    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    Ah. But can you take trapped people with you once you leave. I would like something like this, cause it would make nice adventure. Not some heretical esoteric way. I mean some specific quest that varies from spirit to spirit. To reverse the taint that keeps them unable to leave. I might be...

    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    I like reincarnation cycle of the damned thing. Kult actually had something very similar in a sense. Though rest of flavor feels different here. I kinda liked oriental adventures. I played few years back 3rd editon campaing all the way to lv 22 with 8 players. It kinda hold together very well...

    What is the best Schtick you've ever...

    Love this thread. Only thing I remember from games right now are collectors. Early basic D&D game party was fighting skeletons often. And they all seemed to be using rusty short swords. So party started collecting them and decorating their house, and later with numerous +1 short swords and...

    Alignment Question - Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Evil?

    I think that was very Neutral Evil greedy jerky actions. CN maybe, unless his behavior constantly hits greedy me me meee, were NE applies. Murdering him for it would be evil as well. He was just stealing at this occasion. More consistant jerk behavior often gets attention of other people too...

    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    That picture is kinda cool. However that critter based on looks makes me think cool familiar. It's kinda cute in way that makes some people have chills. I now want one for my alienist. And it doesn't look angry, it seems to be smiling.

    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    Ah. Japanise horror. It's indeed odd sometimes. And honestly, I don't understand the popularity. I think it's mostly that Japanese looks are interesting, and asian generally exotic. I think it's because they are different. And to some people, different feels cooler, little grass is greener in...

    Pathfinder and 4e's love child, what I want in 5e

    This. In addition I do want complexety like 3rd edition had, and mathematic consistancy. This was what I really loved about 3rd edition, though it didn't happen unfortunaly with all the rules. There are way too many feats. I would like less bloated system for feats/skills. So that you don't...

    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    I think horror and sex got married in western culture. At least it seems supernatural/vampire teen romance books got really popular. And they don't go all that much details as let's say 70s western horror porn books my uncle use to read, but detail about erotic tension and relationships and...

    Evil DM Moments

    GM did this to me. It was game of mage the ascension. We were newly awakened cluelss magelings. We were taken to this kinda creepy special school. There was an alarm and we were lost in labyrith underneath the school. Tunnels after tunnels, until we arrived to this ominous hall with some creepy...

    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    I agree with you with first sentance. But what comes to american style of rpg there still lingers some little issue. Violence is good, sex is BAD. And that's american. European rpg:s what I've played didn't shy away form that subject. It's after all related to quite important human passion and...

    Horror - how dark is too dark?

    I like my games really dark. Too much so for most peoples. But it's ok, I can play with those 2 who share almost equal liking/endurance for it. Or write a story myself or read some comic maybe. I call things like BoVE utterly lame, though some spells made nice min-max stuff, so there was some...

    Should a DM buy the player splats?

    That being said, of course DMs should buy player-oriented splatbooks. NPCs are the DM's characters, after all. My players are well aware that I have been itching to unleash my spellstitched swarm-shifter dread necromancer emancipated spawn half-scrag sea kin lacedon with aboleth grafts at some...

    Attention Paladin, Monk, Cleric, Druid and Other Players!

    No. Well, I kinda like playing cleric of some gods. Usually CN or CG or maybe LE. Anything not LG/LN/NE/NG is ok. I kinda always liked some rules/taboos of certain groups in oriental games. But it's different since everyone has code to follow. Paladin IME, has always been excuse to play...

    Deciding your PC race.

    I always play human (or in when I create my character, it can change during game sometimes). When I played earlier editions human sucked (sure it could level higher, but no multi-classing, and most games stopped at lv 6 anyway). So humans kinda got short stick. 3rd edition they kinda got better...

    Playing a Game When You Don't Know the Rules

    I don't like this at all. I need to know rules, so I know how that universe works. So I know what my character can do, and how good he is. I have been in games where gm had his rules or unknown system usually to everyone else but his favorite player. Who becomes star of the game, where everyone...

    Story Designing and GM Authority Help

    That is very detailed wish. I think some "indie rpg:s" have "ruined" them and they now wish to bring player control and themes to D&D. I can feel your pain if you think their theme is un-fun. Then try to find out what you like/don't like. And discuss. Especially if you feel you don't have...

    How much backlash is too much?

    True. But they are similar if they dm just make them happen no matter what players do. In any case most players are not looking forward to some boring trial-game. And villagers coming after you with pitchforks might be ok for low-level party (like one Pathfinder adventure might go). But high...

    "You can't assume things"

    Assuming is not metagaming. Sure it is if player has read the module beforehand and "assuming" is related to player knowledge for plot or monster abilities. Based on prior knowledge from other threads I am getting feeling some players in group just don't like "her". They belittle her way too...

    How much backlash is too much?

    Oh wow. People are indeed siding with presumed paladin, even roleplaying his "hurty feelings". My advice would be not to take advice from those who hate "playing evil characters" even more than you do. That only makes you sad players. Honesty do you want to teach your players be also "petty...
