    Help a roll-player role-play!

    First things first, give your characters accents, and patterns to their speech. Next, try placing yourself in the position you find your characters, pretend that you are there in the tavern, sitting with your friends, talking, laughing, and toosting fallen friends and complimenting the villians...

    A full nights sleep in THREE hours!

    Sleep is overrated. You only need about four hours a night to function, course you function better on eight, but I sleep less then five to six a night average.

    Idiot behind the wheel

    Just reading Vraille Darkfang's thread on “When the Universe tries to tell you something, you should listen” and thought of this- I use to drive like a wacko, and then I (surprise) got a ticket (one in fifteen years, not bad) and went to driving school. The teacher had speeds on one side of...

    Why Bodybuilding is bad

    I disagree. At the height of my best GMing I was in the best shape of my life (course I wasn't going to the gym). Running a couple miles a day after packing lumber up three flights of stairs, working ten and twelve hour days five days a week, building forms, framing, and tying wire cages all...

    Daylight Pellets (MIC pg 156) - Question

    I am all about toys in game, arrows of all kinds for my archer, a cane made of Darkwood for my wizard, etc. When the Magic Item Compenduim came out I leafed through, found things I liked and noted them, but when I found this I was confused. Cost - 150 gp A Daylight Pellet can be thrown up to...

    Assistant DM

    Make a batch of intitive cards, then during low moment in the game, quietly have the players roll a d20- don't tell them why, write their int bonus on the card, and place the cards in order. When a fight starts you can tell the GM that Intitive is ready (even if its an hour wait). Encourage...

    Roleplaying Playlists

    Not really. When we started it was radio, then cassette then a single disc player, then up to six discs and finally an Ipod. Its generally just set on random and fast forwarded through slow or boring music I like most of the music listed here, but making a list, just not something we have...

    What Should the Market for Magic Look Like?

    Magical markets I can’t see there being a lot of need for, maybe a place where magic items are brokered and makers can sell their services. Perhaps something like- Old Wizard- “looking for Haver Sack? Ya, Melcord has one for sale, or I can find you a brand new one? A new one. Okay, its...

    [Rant] Do editing/proofreading errors drive you mad, too?

    No, actually it doesn't bother me. I'd love to purchase a product (one that is over priced) and know that its well read, edited, and very clean; I understand that people make mistakes, and no one is perfect.

    Ridiculous amount of buffs

    Nightfang Spire was perhaps the first campaign that we could tp out of to get rest and recover our spells, though we couldn't get everyone out, so our spell casters would tp out, and the Ranger would lead the rest away to sleep and rest in the snow. It was never a buffing thing with us, it was...

    Do you DM?

    I did for about twenty five years, then I just stopped. There was a lot of self esteem issues I had to get through, as well some relationship stuff, it kinda took my GMing down to nothing. Then school, my daughter, and being a full time dad (a 24/7 job). I just haven't gotten the interest...

    Best.Pet.Evar

    Elrick Originally, a pack dog my wife's character purchased to carry their gear into and around inside close spaces (dungeons, caves, etc). Eventually they ran into a Druid, and the druid for some reason befriended the dog while they were resting up in a village for a few days. Elrick wonders...

    Slowing Advancement and Other Arbitrary Restrictions

    Last campaign I GMed for I pretty much just tossed out xp collection after a while, I knew where I wanted the PCs to be and when so it was simple. Only one Player complained, but once I explained he was okay with it. Coyote6 has been running a campaign sense 3e came out and the characters are...

    Car shopping

    Talked to Coyote6 yesterday- "check my thread on EN World and see what they said," he asked. I did and reported a few posts that stood out. He indicated some thanks and an hour later was buying the Honda. Talked to his Mom today- she said it was Gun Metal Gray (love that color) and that he's...

    How did you get your start

    My brother got me into D&D, but that lasted one session and we moved on to AD&D. I joined his group (one of which I still game with). A couple years in I had a falling out with his forty odd year old (at the time he was like fourteen-ish) year old girlfriend over rules and rulings she was...
