Or the scene during Freaks & Geeks where one of the "freaks" played by Daniel Franco plays D&D with the "geeks." D&D was a pretty central feature of that show and the guy who played the Dungeon Master (Stephen Lea Sims) is a regular poster at rec.games.frp.dnd . Of course, that show was...

Christopher Walken Jack Nicholson Christopher Lloyd Tim Curry Anthony Hopkins Those are some pictures of the actors on my list. DM

The six players that I have right now is about the smallest my group has been, except for when I asked 4 to leave and had to build back. I usually have 6-8 and that is where I am most comfortable (maybe it is my 1E background that leads me to larger groups). DM

17. Hal 9000 Hal 9000 is the brain of the spaceship Discovery in Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Hal is the quintessential villain because of his alien nature. Hal is completely non-human. As a machine, he has no face and any methods of violence against him/it...

This was inspired by the thread about the scariest movie. What actor(s) in suspense or horror movies is/are just spooky and freak(s) you out? My vote goes for Christopher Walken. Others on my list include: Anthony Hopkins Jack Nicholson Christopher Lloyd Tim Curry DM

Allow me to give a recommendation to a vendor who goes by Malachius Invictus. He is a regular on rec.games.frp.dnd and I have purchased many minis from him. DM

We have been at it since 2000 and there are a ton of running gags, even though only one player has been with me the whole time, they have been given to the new players as well and have lived on. Here is a sampling: "Ale & Whores" - There was a PC whose battle cry and all he ever thought about...

I have it, but have not run it. I vaguely remember playing in a group that went through the original 3 adventures in the mid-80's, but only remember bits and pieces. I am hoping to run a 3.5 conversion at some point. DM

Thanks Chris, this sounds interesting and I had not heard about it! DM

Double 'D' is the Driznit, yo! DM

The original Children of the Corn really freaked me out. The Shining The Omen The Exorcist The first time I saw Pet Semetary it really spooked me, but the second time I laughed at it. As for movies that aren't specifically horror, Hitchcock was a master of suspense and I love his movies. Same...

If you ever want to stat out a wacky converted monster for me, let me know. I am working on a tough one right now. DM

I am a high school band director. DM

I second the nomination of Greyhawk. DM

If they actually go, they will be going for the "cool, I wonder what's in there" value. The name of the area intrigued them, plus they have heard about the undead treants and are thinking about the xp value (I actually saw the "xp lights" in their eyes). They will find two destroyed towns on...

I am a Greyhawk DM for several reasons. First, it was the first setting that I found that came alive for me. Also, there were not many detailed settings available at the time. I liked the early FR stuff and bought most of it as it came out, but it quickly became overkill as every aspect of...

Since the adventures are written for 4 characters of a specific level, here is what I do. Add the level of all characters, then divide by four. That is the actual party level. Now, subtract what the adventure was written for from that number and raise the ECL's by that much. For example, the...

Said creature is CR 20+. It is a BBEG for MUCH later. They have been warned that even the vegetation has been warped by its presence. They have been told that evil undead treants guard the whole territory. They have been beset by groups of powerful undead (bog mummies, voidwraths...

I estimated based on the number of hours I play each week. Sometimes we miss a session, but sometimes we play two or get in a long one, so it should be pretty close to correct. By my estimate I played 260 hours last year. DM

My players are about to walk into an area of the campaign world where they will be out of their league. The creature that is there is there for a purpose for later in the campaign, but at 9th-10th level, they are not ready. I plan on giving them plenty of warnings that what is coming up would...
