    July 27. Gary Gygax Day?

    The man who brought us D&D, Legendary Journeys 'Roleplaying Mastery' and so much more deserves all the recognition we can give him

    March Fourth for GM's Day!!

    It indeed ENWorlders who founded it - it was this thread!! Yeah, it's kinda amazing that Gary passed away on GM's day. I don't know if that is incredibly apt, or utterly horrible. I feel a bit morose about it actually. Maybe Enworld needs to have some sort of Web based wake for him or something...

    March Fourth for GM's Day!!

    Hope everyone had a great GM's Day! Anyone do anything special (apart from just buying their GM a game?)

    If you had to cut one element from the D&D game...

    Why should sonic be related to air? Sonic travels faster through water and solid matter.

    Coolest. Gaming Set-up. Evar.

    So anyone tried the projector setup with the new NWN2 toolset?

    The paladin. A story and a question.

    So when detect evil suits his purposes, it's kill, kill, kill, but when it doesn't it must be undetectable alignment, so kill, kill, kill? No, it's not good enough. If a discrepancy arises, a paladin should take a little more care. Except that the Paladin used some special means to dispose of...

    The paladin. A story and a question.

    Except that then they wouldn't be LN then, would they? With respect to the rest of your post, most of which I agreed with, killing something in a overzealous fit is exactly the sort of thing that should cause a loss of powers. Paladin's should know better... Addressing the issue of the...

    Is it normal to come back from the dead?

    Re: the Original Post: I think it's something that you should talk with your GM about so that you can determine the culture in the lands with regards to ressurection, as a way of putting your characters choice into context. Perhaps in a world where 'raise dead' is used it might be highly...

    Is it normal to come back from the dead?

    Haven't heard of Morganti blades then?

    Just gotta finish this level...

    Some of the members of Australian Comedy Band Tripod are gamers, and it shows in this 'romantic' song. http://video.google.com.au/videoplay?docid=1329362959167995041&q=type%3Aau_gpick Bear with it, it's funny once it gets started. :)

    Railroads (wooh! wooh!)

    They seem to think that because they wrote up the character they have a right to dictate how it should be played. That can be the problem with con games. It is Role Assumption as opposed to Role Play...

    Railroads (wooh! wooh!)

    Yeah, if the players are into that sort of thing, it could work well.

    Railroads (wooh! wooh!)

    A while ago, I raised the topic of the sacred cows in roleplaying – those things which often generate a (negative) knee jerk response - and one of those is predetermined plot direction, or ‘railroading’. So, in the interests of challenging such truisms: when is it okay to railroad a little? How...

    Do your PCs' actions carry over into your next campaign?

    But of course! I have run three groups in my homebrew. One small game, one smaller one with a couple of story arc and one major campaign with multiple story arcs. And the events of both the smaller arcs have had quite an impact on the major campaign. And while the players don't always realize...

    When the warforged are getting on your nerves...

    LOL. It was a tongue in cheek joke on one of the first forums I posted on, and I went with it! ... What's your excuse? :p

    When the warforged are getting on your nerves...

    From Dr Smith's Insult Library, what to call the next Warforged Clod who steps on your character's toes. Best used by cowardly mages, NPC Academics or thwarted Villains! Animated Hunk of Machinery Animated Weather Station Arrogant Automation As Protective as a Leaky Umbrella Assassin...

    Why do Dwarves drink Whiskey or Ale?

    They drink stout (preferably short and in a little teapot)

    Do you regret the fact that you don't get to game as much as you would like?

    Do you regret the fact that you don't get to ............... as much as you would like? Yes, by definition! As for gaming, no, not really. I am the GM in my group so while it would be nice to game more often, it takes a lot of work, and it would suck a lot of the time from the other things in...

    How do you deal with a large group of Players and PCs?

    Seven players would be too many for me, but... If you do continue with seven players it's worth letting the players know that you can't devote as much time to any one individual player, and they not only need to understand that but they also need to actively help you in suucint and to the point...

    How are weapons carried when not in use?

    When not in use weapons disappear into a magical other dimension and hang out with lanterns and paladins mounts and so on. I seem to remember representations of bastard swords where the whole length of the blade isn't actually in the scabbard, only the bottom half. Still, that begs the...
