Hiya! Amusing names? hmmm.... Ahhh.... ok. My best one (I think): Drift Woode - a stoner hippy beatnik druid (1e, he made it to 5th level before we moved on to something else...he's still alive I guess...) I did "reprise" Drift's role for a 3.5e game when a friend was running the "Savage...

Hiya! While it is true that there was no "C" for the "B/X" series, one Jonathan Becker created one ( B/X Companion - Running Beagle Games | DriveThruRPG.com ), which I bought (two dead-tree versions...or maybe three, would have to check) for myself and table. It's actually pretty well done and...

Hiya! The scary thing? All the "jokes" about what the CW might do...well... 10 years ago I'd be laughing through and through! Today... more "cold-sweats and trepidation of impending horror". ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! (Quick note to @mrswing ; I think your DM ran "UK3 - The Gauntlet" incorrectly; it's basically a "siege" where the PC's are sort of caught in the middle; the 'arriving forces' want something from the 'defending forces' in the Keep and ask the PC's to do it for them...if they do it, the...

Hiya! Reboot? CW? ...er.... I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear more. Right now I am... cautious. ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! My 6th level Gnome Paladin of Garl Glittergold [Hootock "Hoots" Gloryhammer] had 142gp's to his name and just got his first magic item...a Potion of Greater Healing. Now I'm unstoppable! (which is probably a good thing, considering Hoots is currently in the City of Dis on the first plane...

Actually, when my DMG first arrived, the next day I whipped out my "Mini-Dungeon Booklet" that I use to "doodle dungeons" on one page, and on the facing opposite page I write the info. ( fyi, it's called the "ARC System"; https://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/arc/index.html ). I then used...

Hiya! My suggestion? Why stop? Just keep playing and you, assuming the DM, just go with it. Draw up a bunch of maps for various things, or grab some from Dyson Logos (GREAT maps!), then when you have a half hour just start writing down ideas for stuff. Not "adventures", per se, but stuff that...

Hiya! I don't quite understand why so many folks are "against" flight at low levels. Actually, scratch that. I have a theory... Many of the DM's who poo-poo flight ability at low level are likely the type of DM's who like their "Adventure Paths & Stories" to unfold as they expect them to. I'd...

Nope. Only see what you wrote. Hold please... Ahhh.. "bedir than" is on my Ignore list. That's why I guess. ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! Here's a shortened version of a one-page "campaign pitch" I gave for a Star Wars campaign waaaaaay back in/around the late 80's: "Luke could feel the force as he flew along the Death Star Trench, quickly approaching the exhaust pipe. He closed his eyes, squeezed the trigger...and missed"...

If you're replying to my Wheel of Pain method, thanks! :) Also, if a group likes more "heroic" level stats, simply switch out the high/low threshold. For 5e, it could be 12+ (High), 11- (Low). Then there's going to be more opportunity for pairs of "14/10" or "16/11". ^_^ Paul L. Ming

Hiya! "Wheel of Pain" Method I came up with this one a few years ago for my homebrew fantasy RPG and it has proved to be a great system if everyone in the group is sitting at the table for "Session Zero" when creating characters. Group based rolling, group based choice. Draw a clock face...

Hiya! Never in any version of D&D/AD&D...actually, never in any game with anyone with ONE exception: "The Smith Family". Playing Rolemaster for the first time. No, I will not go into details because me and my best friend still have PTSD from that whole year+ experience (and, again, no, I am NOT...

Hiya! Yes...because sending undead out to 'raid' a village (killing, harming and stealing) is an EVIL ACT in the D&D game. So yeah...in this case, he's evil. It's not what the "bad guy" has for justification. That is irrelevant. It's what and how he goes about trying to get what he wants that...

Hiya! I have the PDF and maybe one or two supplements for it. Gave them a "skim-through". Seemed like a decent enough, light system. But, because it's "lite", I'd find it hard to use for anything with "high power" needed (re: super-heroes, Rifts-like, epic space opera, etc). Oh, that and the...

"Way too many players involved" I'm in an online game with family and friends spread all over the place. I'm actually playing for once (Deep Gnome Paladin... ;) ), and there is the DM and, including me, 7 players. Too many for my general liking. I thought it might go smoother using VTT (more...

Hiya! I went with 7 because I'm assuming "when the PC's are actually ON and 'adventure' and in the thick of it". In other words, I didn't include the 3 sessions of them walking into the Keep on the Borderlands, getting to know the Keep and all that roleplaying stuff, then some simple scouting...

Interestingly enough, I'm also not on Tik-Tok...but I do see a lot of TT vids re-posted on Youtube. So...yeah. ^_^ Paul L. Ming

This is where Tic-Tok and Youtube are your friend! Go talk to them about ideas and inspiration. ;) ^_^ Paul L. Ming
