    How to handle a dud of a party

    Congrates!!! Fifteen years is nothing to cough at, and for that you should be proud. :D About people not showing- people do forget, and or things do pop up. Having a party is not always at the top of everyone's list, and some people might have been trying to say- "we'll try to show," which...

    My apologizes if any part of my response came off as taking offense, I was a little upset at what transpired. I did not know your position. Thank you. Peace

    How do you see Darkvision?

    Dark Vision to me is like night vision in grays, and blacks (depending on the surrounding light levels). The person with dark vision is always able to see enough detail, but a black shadow is a dark area and a lighter area is gathering more light (for whatever reason, perhaps a distant candle...

    Why Wet Roads and Cellphones Don't Mix

    It is because no one really has to drive in it, so they never learn. Few years back my cousin (a CHP officer) told me that he had been working the required chains stop on highway 80 going over the Sierras, and he stopped a car going east with Minnesota plates. He asked the driver if he had...

    English Grammar and Spelling

    Sorry, Myth that you misunderstand what I wrote and later deleted (five minutes later), because I thought it was poor form for me to post a personal (not even sure what to call it) "issue" on a forum like this (my lacking in writing and reading comprehension). I thought that it might create...

    How do I deal with a rule lawyer?

    Noted, and a very good point. In proper and good leadership (GMs are the leaders at the gaming table) you never reprimand another person in front of others, that is very true. My reasoning for doing this in front of the others though is- The OP seems to imply that the Rules Lawyer is doing...

    Why keep adventuring?

    Presently the characters I am playing in D&D are- Grayson Noble, hard bitten soldier (ranger/fighter/deepwood sniper)- he has nothing else in life save the women he loves, and the people that he adventures with. If he stopped he would more then likely have nothing else to do, though I am...

    How do I deal with a rule lawyer?

    Not dealt with one in a long while, and I am not sure how I did back then, but if I had to now. Explain to him that I do not like being talked to like a eight year old, that as the GM I try to make fair and clear rulings on situations. I do not have all the time in the world while DM to look...

    Could use your help

    First of all, congrats on the future plans. A suggestion that comes from my mom's recent marriage- go to a pawn shop, find a diamond of fair quality (nothing to expensive) take it to a jeweler and have him remove the band, offer him the gold in the band to foot part of the bill then have him...

    Why Wet Roads and Cellphones Don't Mix

    I was thinking about this thread today as my neighbor pulled into our circle talking on her cell while driving better then the 25 mph limit (she's the kind of person the speeds up to a stop sign). She was talking on her cel phone and only stopped when she got out. Here in California a little...

    Darth Vader: Alignment

    I was almost certain that he was LE, from the first time I understood the alignment "rules" and revisited the movies, I thought- "now that is LE." I think that Ani was LG (episode 1) and shifted towards CG (episode 2-3) then across TN to LE at some point by the end of 3.

    Comic sales - Need advice and help

    Oh, I have no illusions about how much I am gonna make a month on this venture :( . We need money, really bad, and I need to get rid of my collection. I quit working to raise our daughter, when I did that our second mortgage started eating itself. Why do we have a second? A few years...

    Do you keep players in your group who don't contribute?

    Contribute- less Players- in a group of four we had two, in a group of three we have one, course its a toss up as to which of of them will contribute in any given game. In our case its the low self esteem thing, shoot down one of their ideas and it shuts them down for a while, beat up their...

    Computers at the gaming table

    Positive experience- Writing up your adventure and being able to Control F to find things. Scanning in maps and zooming into them so as to see exact locations and square counts. I used Auto CADD for a while with dungeon design, and it really helped a lot. Love the ability to write out...

    Should I allow the Spell Compendium in my campaign?

    Say no until you have a chance to look it over. Allowing a few of the spells in might be okay, but read them first. Our GM allows Core spells, and spells that fit the character (clerics and druids and such) while Wizards can pick spells, but only with GM okay. I suggest a spell by spell, read...

    Computers at the gaming table

    Some time ago there was a thread questioning computers at the gaming table, and I stated something about how much a help they were to me as a GM and a Player. I might have been wrong. Its an aid that has turned into a problem. Today during the game I watched as Player and GM sat staring at a...
