This whole thing is a serious can of worms. I don't necessarily like the "resurrection transmission of the virus" angle, but I'm going to have a serious problem if this is a one-off that they ignore from here on out. Biological Weapons Program Step 1: Create multiple samples of this virus...

Riffing off one of the greatest Bond lines of all time; "Do you expect me to talk?" "No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die. Then be ressurected at great cost by your friends, re-equipped at even greater expense....and come back to seek your revenge."

Ahem.... (looks at my sig...)

Been there, done that. Didn't watch large sections of the first two seasons for exactly the same reason. But now that I'm done with that part of my life and things are much better (mentally and emotionally), I'm finding that I really look forward to the show.

When everyone in the room is interested and active, there doesn't need to be a leader. I've played in groups like that, and we all made the decisions as a group. Unfortunately, such groups do not appear to be the norm. As the previous three posters have noted, leadership tends to fall on one...

Pretty much sums up the story I gave above about my recent ill-fated campaign. One idiot who "just wants to kill stuff" and a bunch of wishy-washy players who don't want to make decisions. Part of the problem, game wise, is having one guy who speaks up and leads the party into danger, while...

I was in a game where one player played the Face Man Cleric and was the "leader", while I played the Wizard and was 'tactical leader'. Got into a bit of a tussle with the GM. He decided to tell me that I was just jealous of the other player, was trying to seize control of the group, but should...

My own House Rules completely eliminate Spell Books. You simply 'know' a spell. It takes roughly the same amount of time to learn them and, like older editions, you can only know so many. Max known spells of any given level = Int - (2 x spell level). Sure, it's easier and cheaper to acquire...

From personal experience, that of playing a dedicated Wizard to 8th level in a 3.5 game, I have to say that the expense of gaining more than the free '2 per level' SUCKS. It's seriously unreasonable and basically screws the Wizard class. Sure, you can copy scrolls. But that assumes that your...

Ok, who else immediately thought of the Montage scene and song in Team America: World Police?

See my Sig. Most people want Beer & Pretzels "Kill Monsters, Get Gold". Escapist fun where they can't lose, they can't really even be challenged. Difficulty isn't "fun". People like you and me, who want more, are few and far between. Of course, I'd settle for people who think that you're...

The session that really botched the entire adventure: In town before setting out for the hills, a Fighter approaches several party members and says that he was ordered (by his and the party's employers - Republic government agents) to tell them about a misfortune that befell his party. They...

You know, the thing is that I've noticed this odd 'backlash' thing going on. With this past group and the one before it. I tell them that I want to run a more intelligent game. Dynamic plots, intelligent enemies, more tactical combat, etc. In other words, "step up your game boys, because...

The Lawyer in me keeps telling me not to post in this thread. Don't post in this thread. Don't post in this thread. My last (short lived) campaign. An otherwise allegedly intelligent player. Halfling Rogue/Wizard. Runs into a mob of 200 kobolds, at the back end of the train where they are...

In my last game, I used; 1> Auto reroll 1's. 2> Able to expend Hero Points 1:1 to increase low roll, up to 75% of max. I think one player did just that, spending 4 hero points to increase a 2 to a 6 on d8. Thinking that next time, assuming that I don't use hero points (which I might), I'll...

Gorgs. In my last (short lived) game, a large tribe of Ogres were just introduced to the game continent from a northern region, where they were called Gorgs. They were followed by slavic barbarians, who spread the lore. If you ever owned Baldur's Gate II, hear this in Minsk's voice; Dance...

I might be willing to give it a shot. I'm currently "between groups" and am uncertain if I should play now or just sit out for a couple more months after leaving my previous groups. I'm a bit picky, so don't be surprised if I play a couple of sessions and then take a pass. I'm also fairly...

Unlike the movies, where you can hide on an 8' ceiling and have someone walk directly underneath you without noticing, we humans have much better peripheral vision than that. Oh heck, you don't even need peripheral vision to see them when you're 10' away. I'd have severe problems with a GM who...

Speculating as to who might bite it in 7; As much as I wouldn't be happy about it, Dramatic Flow might dictate that someone well-liked bites it early in the book, so as to increase the tension and make you salivate for the end. In which case, it might be someone like Mr. or Mrs. Weasley...

Daytime is not always "safe". Overcast days are the Vampire's delight. Depending on the climate, that could be a lot of the time. Think of a place like Seattle or a small village higher up on a mountain. There could be a lot of DAYS when it isn't safe to be outside. But that's assuming a...
