    Something humorously unhappy in last night's game.

    Rangerwickett, perhaps part of the problem is a lack of communication between you and Ted. I get the impression that Ted, the player, has an intense dislike of this particular NPC Shaaladel. You said your intention was to reward Ted by giving him an opportunity to defeat Shaaladel since he's a...

    WOTC: Mistress of Pain submissons, who's trying?

    What the hell? I'll give this a shot, like a previous poster said, I've been writing too long to let this go by without trying. :)

    When to use the "special" attacks?

    I have a few more suggestions for you, and I echo the earlier poster who said "Good question for your first post". 1. I think you should present your NPC team as lower-level (even if just one level lower) than your PC party. It would be best if you could think of a way to present this...

    CC III Question

    I'm assuming that if I haven't heard anything by now, none of my submissions were accepted. Would you say that's on target or off in left field?

    Does LARP freak anyone else out?

    I admit, I think most LARPers are freaky. And yet, I do look at some LARPs and think "Wow, that looks like fun". My feelings on the matter come directly from my own personal experience with LARPs and LARP-ers. Allow me to explain: All the LARPing I've ever seen has been at conventions. The...

    Campaigns you *don't* want to play in

    I don't want to play in campaigns where the NPC's are always more important than the PC's. Let me explain... it's my misfortune to be involved in a game run by a good friend of mine. He's an awesome GM, makes almost anything fun. So I'm playing in his game. The problem? My friend picked up the...

    Are DMs the Bad Guy -- Getting Kicked Out of a Group

    Here's another fun story for the boards: I call it "Dueling DM's" I had just moved into the area and I had hooked up with a new gaming group. My first game with this group involved quite a bit of friction with one of the other players... let's call him Mr. X. Mr. X and I shared some interests...

    Are DMs the Bad Guy -- Getting Kicked Out of a Group

    I haven't been "kicked out" of a group, but I am being "left out" of a group. Let me explain... I DM'd a campaign for over a year that went really well, everyone seemed to really enjoy it. One of my players went on to DM his own campaign set in the same world, with some of the same characters...

    Loving The Game, Hating The Setting - Advice Needed!

    I'm currently involved in a Champions game with my local group. I think the GM is great, but the campaign setting annoys the beejeezus out of me. I'll start at the beginning. One fellow we know started a Champions campaign with his homebrewed superhero world. He treated his sessions more as...

    S&S Creature Collection III: who submitted proposals?

    I sent in five monster ideas, all around three to four hundred words long. I wonder how soon we'll hear if our monsters made the cut?

    Never TPK'd

    I won't lie to you... dying sucked. You know what would've been worse, though? Knowing (or even suspecting) that the DM cheated (most call it "fudging") to keep us alive when by rights we should've been dead. The DM rolled everything out in the open, so it was cool. We groaned about the dice...

    Never TPK'd

    I've got an interesting TPK story for you, featuring a 5th level party decimated by ... 1 troll. Our group was essentially hit with a random encounter. One of those "you're taking care of normal business in town when you hear screams from down the street" situations. Three of us began making...

    What makes stupidity fatal?

    Our friendly local DM (Ki Ryn here on the boards, in fact) was running his Tir'anon campaign, set in a viking fantasy northland. Our party was halfheartedly investigating some rumors of assassinations as a side project to the campaign metaplot. So we're in a tavern, and lo and behold! A member...

    Rule of Thumb for Balance vs. Reflex

    Speaking generally, Checks (both ability and skill) are used to accomplish something . Saving throws (of any type) are used to avoid something . (typically hit point and ability damage or a spell effect) Sometimes it can be tough to figure out which to use in a given situation (such as a...
