Hi, Matty. Sign me up for breakfast. :)

For a little more flavor you can give them each a name, and carefully write them in on either the tops or sides of the base. Numbers can work too, but you might wear out guards 1 and 2, and never use guards 5 and 6.

It's a DM's privilege to give out more or less XP. Give your players what you think they've earned for the session, and that's that. If you need a calculator to make you feel like a fair DM, that's okay. But, I've often found that what I planned to be a tough encounter turns out to be easy...

The DM has to think a lot more about campaign and game balance overall than the players do. If one of my players ever takes something I'm uncomfortable with because it might have unbalancing effects, I usually tell them no, offer an adjusted alternative that I feel is more balanced, or let them...

And if you really want to throw the players a curveball, make it the tomb of a good person! And when they violate it all sorts of weird things could happen...especially to a paladin. HaHA! Maybe there is a seal that can only be broken by a good person. And when the party breaks it, they...

For some reason I keep thinking of jungles whenever I think of swamps so pardon me if I seem to cross over that line too often. Anyway, I love that there can be all sorts of tricky critters hidden under that layer of murky water in a swamp and maybe fog. Leeches, frogs, snakes, gators...

Happy B-day Joe! You've got a lot of friends from the EN World Chicago Gameday! I hope you get what you wish for! :)

With the information you provided, it's hard to provide any good advice other than reinstall your OS. Can I assume you didn't backup your files?

I'm Ek'o the Master Doctor on Bria. Although I've dabbled on Ahazi, and a couple other servers. Now that I'm a master doc I find myself spending less time online, and making more money at the same time. So the big thing once you've mastered a profession seems to be finding a holocron and...

An in-character questionnaire is okay, but it doesnt put the pieces together as well as a few paragraphs can. I also feel there is such a thing as too much information when it comes to trying to develop character backgrounds. Why not leave some room to play with it and fill-in-the-blanks as...

Well, at nearly 500 posts I was thinking we should do this in another thread, but here's a pic of the stargate players (minus me).

In addition to a tripod, I'd say use a remote or timer setting to snap the pic as well. Your camera may also have a MINIMUM focal length. You need to find out what distance that is and make sure you are not too close to the mini. The articles at Cool Mini or Not really do a better job of...

While I dont think its a requirement to have NPCs stand beside the PC everywhere they go, I do think its important that the PC have allies at their disposal. Some contacts can be as near as a neighbor in the city, or perhaps half a continent away. Just remember that nobody gets to 22nd level...

I use 2 different 10-page bound sheet protectors. You can ask for them at any office supply store, although sometimes they run out. Basically, they are just 10 sheet protectors that are clamped together where the 3-ring binder rings go. I use one of them for all my DM stuff: bad guy stat...

I eliminated the spells Comprehend Languages, and Tongues in one of my campaigns, and forced wizards to take a higher age category to represent their many years of study. My reasoning was that the study and practice of languages was necessary in order to understand the secrets of magic. For...

Hi, Matty! Sign me up for Stargate in the morning slot. I'll also try to make breakfast this time around. See you all there!

Has anyone tried Klooge Werks software to run their games over the internet? http://www.kloogeinc.com/werks/ I played with it at GenCon and am interested in feedback from people who have run a full campaign with it.

I'm currently eliminating the wizard class, and only allowing sorcerers and clerics in my campaign. The spellcraft skill and detect magic spell have been removed, instead using either knowledge arcana, or knowledge religion to understand items and their magical properties. I've also eliminated...

I lost my favorite "mad" chef! Actually, he's not really mad, he's quite happy serving appetizers and main courses to all the patrons of the "Four Winds Inn." But there is a reason he keeps to the basement. In his memory, I was hoping somebody could compose a nice picture of him in all his...
