I'm getting ready to run an Eberron game on Fantasy Grounds for some friends, so I started working on some plot ideas. However, I wanted to do something different this time - I wanted to make an overarching plot instead of a self-contained one. The latter are my forte and how I've always run...

Bagpuss, you read my mind. I was wanting to ask these very questions today. Actually, the question that I was curious about was #4, whether the DM or player runs the cohort. As the DM, I allow the player to control the cohort, simply because it's one less thing I have to deal with. I was...

A lot of good, legitimate points in this thread. Personally, I don't have a problem with high level play. Yes, the players are more powerful, and they have many more options at their disposal, but I like that. As a player, I salivate at having all that power and all those choices. As a DM, I...

Ugh. Reading the 9 pages has nearly sapped my desire to post. I don't really care one way or the other, but Wulf's post way back on page 1 brought up something I wanted to mention. This is what Midnight does, and I'm surprised no one has mentioned that setting yet; Iron Heroes got some...

I'll have to chime in with the rest of the group and say how amazing Fantasy Grounds is. I remember when we first started using it, and in a minute or two I was able to pull up a map of the Eldeen Reaches, with tokens to represent where they were and where they were going - the players were...

Real straightforward question here, one I feel kind of foolish asking. The mindbender prestige class in Complete Mage (pg. 54) receives telepathy at first level, being able to communicate with any creature within 100 feet. Is this communication two-way or one-way? Is the person (not...

Hey there. An experienced DM, looking to run a solo campaign online, as in you being the only PC. All options are open, including alignment. The most important thing is your character has some soul, since they'll be the star of the show. It'll be set in Eberron, and run on Fantasy Grounds...

You da man, Hypersmurf. Thanks.

I'm actually DMing a game right at this very moment, and a situation has arisen. If a person has a negative strength penalty, say -1, and they only roll 1 damage with their weapon, say a rapier, will they actually do 0 damage or is it always 1? We're checking on it, doing searches and whatnot...

I'm a vegetarian and an animal rights activist, yet that story you told enrages even me. Those cats need to be taken away to the animal shelter (or pound, as in the south) so that they do not breed and make even more cats. Just capture them and take them to the shelter. As for the woman, she...

I think this is just blatantly untrue. Peasants DID loot the bodies of the dead, especially when they thought they could get away with it. Yes, there were the Shinto precepts, but the main reason they wouldn't was because they didn't want to get the samurai all riled up. Even taking into...

Asian Studies with a minor in History. I thought I should just follow my heart and do what sounded interesting to me. Big mistake. Colleges these days are glorified computer labs or business schools. Not only is the degree worthless - no one cares about Asian Studies - but I paid out the...

I've been feeling rather down as of late, because I'm a college grad who's unemployed and living with his mother, and has no future prospects. I do regret getting a college degree. Nevertheless, this thread has cheered me up - it's interesting to see so many varied professions in so many...

I'm a Fantasy Grounds shill now. Me and my players went ahead and bought it, and we've all been very impressed with the software. The thought of going back to OpenRPG makes me grimace, although the fact that OpenRPG is free is always a good point.

Hey there. Could someone give me a link to the GenCon '05 thread(s) on the board? I wasn't around during that time, and would like to see what people did.

Well, there's what their players tell me and what they actually are. Flynn was supposed to be LE, Corley LN and Sabina N. I have since told them what their characters' real alignments are. Sabina stays the same, but Flynn has become LN - the character, like the player, is always 100%...

Corley felt more at home in the woods then surrounded by the crowds of people, so that’s where he camped at night. Fellig still kept busy as officers burned the midnight oil and distant explosions and gunshot lightened the sky. Sabina and Flynn knew where to find him, so when they walked into...

You can blame that on my players. I like gritty games, but I truly am catering to their style - the three of them are amoral bastards. It was nice to get some kind of response though. I think I'll type up the second session.

Flynn looked out the window as the Thornwood Forest passed him by, the train causing nearby animals to scurry about on the forest floor. He glanced over to his new traveling companions: a stocky dark-haired man, probably of Morridane descent, and a rather fine-looking woman, her auburn locks...

Their equipment is a good question, and my apologies for not mentiong it. The one that the ranger/rogue fought had a bastard sword and breastplate. The other two I was planning on changing around on the fly, perhaps with less armor, perhaps a short sword, that kind of stuff.
