    Did I make a mistake - Gestalt, EL, and testy players

    I just got finished running a game of Iron Kingdoms tonight. What the end amounted to was a gestalt ranger/rogue being murdered in a wheat field. The player, who has a penchant for raging, stormed out of the game after he was killed. The party consists of the ranger/rogue, druid/sorcerer, and...

    GM Dilemma

    My God, this sounds exactly like my group of players, all the time, every time. As far as "running with it," you have to realize that even if you accommodate them as a DM, that doesn't mean they'll accommodate each other as players. Will the pirate and ninja get along? My money's on no, and...

    Heroes of Battle reviews?

    I'm so glad someone started this topic; I was planning on doing so over the past few days. I saw the book at my LGS and I was pretty happy with what I read. I've already ordered it, and although it's unlikely, if there are no responses about it when my book arrives, I'll be sure to give my two...

    Iron Kingdoms World Guide. Any good?

    Hey AuldGrump, hopefully you'll check back here. Could you tell me what other books you use for the setting, or provide links to your posts? I would be very interested.

    Iron Kingdoms World Guide. Any good?

    Uh.... Shadowrun. I hesitated to say that in case people would dismiss me, thinking "Oh he just has a gun & fantasy fetish!" Which isn't true! At all!

    Iron Kingdoms World Guide. Any good?

    I felt like I had to say something due to the lack of responses. For me, Iron Kingdoms has become my second most favorite setting I've ever seen, and I've seen them all (or at least the D&D ones). I was extremely excited about the World Guide and Character Guide's releases, and I was not...

    Is it common for players to powergame?

    I've liked what's been discussed on this thread so far. Personally, for me, while most of the players I've met have not been powergamers, every single person in the group I DM in is one (except for one guy, and that's just because he doesn't care enough to powergame). These players are the...

    Book looked good. Bought it. ... Haven't used it since.

    Deities & Demigods as well. That book really was a pile of trash. Conversely, I have gotten a lot of use out of Savage Species. My players want to be demons, fairies, centaurs and ogres. It's actually grown quite annoying.

    Player Problems with Character Wealth

    My players regularly chew me out because their characters do not have the "appropriate" character wealth, as seen on pg. 135 of the 3.5 DMG. At 8th level, one character had 13k worth of items and another 16k. The players whole-heartedly believe it severely handicaps their characters'...

    The DM Hall of Shame

    Heh, I'm rather enjoying these stories. The biggest one that comes to mind for me is with Shadowrun. Brushes with death were (and are) extremely common in all my games, including D&D and other systems. One of my players constantly bitched about how hard my adventures were. "Okay," I thought...

    Resting

    Does anyone know where the rules for resting are? More specifically, how long you can go before you are fatigued/exhausted? I have looked and looked and have not been able to find the rules, even though I know they exist. Even my players couldn't find them. Anyone care to point me in the...

    Reach and Allies

    I'm confused; could you elaborate on this? I'll give you the situation in my game that made me post the question: An ogre with a greatclub had a bugbear ally directly in front of him, and a PC in front of the bugbear. I figured the ogre was large, and since he towered over his ally, he should...

    Reach and Allies

    Quick question for you guys: if someone is standing behind an ally, can they attack through him with a reach weapon with no problems? Does it matter if it's weapon reach or natural reach?

    Countering Invisibility

    Hey there. I allowed one of my players to be a sylph for his character, and soon he will reach a level where constant Greater Invisibility comes into play. I was really hoping that some folks on here would have suggestions on how I can keep this ability in check. So far, my friends have...
