    You and Your Characters: Gender and Sexuality

    I make totally random characters(race, class, sex.) when I play. A few in my group do the same thing, but the rest stay to the norm. The guys make guys and the ladies make ladies.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&DN going down the wrong path for everyone.

    I'll play whatever game is being ran. If it has dungeons, dragons and treasure then I'm in. Mechanics are not that big of a deal as I tend to roll play more than anything else. In fact I played AD&D on Monday and I didn't even take out my character sheet, and I think I rolled once or twice...

    NPC names

    Look in old books or take organic words like river, sky, earth, whatever you are trying to convey with the character and translate it into Greek or German online. It come up with good sounding names and I use it regularly in my campaign.

    Vancian Fluff (and clerics as a side topic)

    I love the dying earth series. Ya got this old world, atmosphere that can rarely be emulated in any game.

    Vancian Fluff (and clerics as a side topic)

    Clerics have rites and rituals they have to perform to have spells granted to them. Afterwards they just call out to their god and they are then used. It is a Vancian method where the legwork of the spell is done during downtime, but not completely as in dying earth terms anyone that can read...

    Silver Spring Hobby & Games Closes Its Doors

    The only ones near me is Leisure Hours hobbies and the Wandering Dragon Game Shoppe. Leisure Hours has been around forever, but has declined greatly in the past years to carry the bare minimum if gaming goods and somehow they only hire comic book guys from the Simpsons. The Wandering Dragon is...

    D6 Star Wars RPG Thoughts

    Bob I'd totally play that game with you. I'd make a droid, or a Defel. Defels are so cool.

    D6 Star Wars RPG Thoughts

    Oh man I love me some WEG Star Wars. I think the fantastic technology books, specifically droids added so much to the game. I'm going to go read my old books now and see if I can get a group going.

    Pathfinder 1E The Fools!

    My favorite dragon tactic is, if the party is fighting in a dragon's lair(treasure & magic items) then the dragon flaps its mighty wings a causes hundreds of coins, magic weapons, etc flying through the air at the party. I also include this as a free action as a dragon can fly as it mode of...

    What is a D&D campaign to you?

    My group refers to any continual game with the same characters and a story to be a campaign. We usually break it into chapters, which evolves around a particular area or story hook.

    How can I avoid a Monty-Haul campaign in DnD?

    If you are giving 1st level characters +1 stuff just set the standard of the world that way. Give anything and everything a +1 item. Make sure that you keep the challenges challenging and the monsters monsterous. Don't let you players squash everything you throw at them because you let it...
