Personally, when I say "I want to run a realistic campaign." What I really mean is "I want your actions to have consequences". By that I mean that the actions the players take mean something later on in the campaign. While additionally, the players are asked to take actions that WILL have an...

Spectaculars? Some sort of strange foreign broadcast picked up on the Etherscope?

I can't wait until the next session. I'm running a straight d20 Modern game that's beginning to look a lot less like Ocean's 11, and a lot more like Call of Cthulu. I'll take a close look at the ruleset this week. Drowbane will let you know how it worked out for him and his mates sometime...

Man I missed me some OotS. Glad to have Rich back in the saddle. :)

DAMN YOU AND YOUR INESCAPABLE LOGIC!!!!!1!!!! ;)

Which is exactly why Mr. Greenwood's homebrew isn't ported into my game without modifications! :) I've decided to neuter my major NPC's and simply have them be plot exposition mouthpieces, if I decide to use them at all. Which, pretty much so far, I haven't "But then it's NOT FR!!!!!!" My...

Well, unless you're the editor in chief of Parade magazine, and plan on doing a puff piece with some nice soft focus shots of him wearing a snappy sweater vest, I think the really tough questions are going to have to wait... ;)

Ok, I know the rule says that a character saves for zero damage on a successful reflex save. I had a player of mine ram an SUV, then land the Reflex save. It was a head on collision at around 50mph, the character jumped out of the moving SUV, made the reflex save, then was surprised when I...

I love some tech noir. I'll be taking a look at that :)

I was thinking more along the lines of Lionel Hollins

I know a VP for Microsoft's pet PR company... I might be able to hook you up with a home visit from Bill Gates if you're nice Moria... ;)

IMO, what it really boils down to, especially in the case of FR, is that the NPC's are SO POWERFUL, that there's no reason for PC's to do anything except go tell Daddy that the mean guys are trying to kill the good guys again. "Oh crap! [insert random evil organization] is trying to take...

In my campaign, they are the only Adventurers. Any other adventurers are invariably referred to in the Past tense, and are usually used as "Don't let this happen to you" examples

I may have missed it, but I'm pretty sure that nobody's mentioned the Kushiel's Legacy series. I've read the first trilogy, and part 1 of the second. The fantasy/romance is very sexual in nature. Overall the setting has intertwined some pretty torrid romance elements with High Divine/Low...

You win the thread sir... cun·ning /ˈkʌnɪŋ/ –noun 1. skill employed in a shrewd or sly manner, as in deceiving; craftiness; guile. 2. adeptness in performance; dexterity: The weaver's hand lost its cunning. –adjective 3. showing or made with ingenuity. 4. artfully subtle or shrewd...

One thing that I've realized about 3.x is that Energy Immunity from racial benefits/templates/prestige classes/magic items makes mid to high level casting/fighting more difficult and SLOWER than it needs to be. Believe me, I've been the first one to raise my hand when the DM says that Evil...

The 3.5 stat block for Chuck Norris lists a fly speed of 90' perfect, but it's actually incorrect. Chuck Norris does't fly, he jumps into the air and allows the world to rotate beneath him.

Jenn was our DM for about 7 years, she was the very best DM I ever played with. She was totally prepared every week, Epic storylines, and sub-storylines for all of the players. just amazing. She was an administrative assistant for a corporate mucky-muck, so she's all about the attention to...

Eldon Noseworthy Paladin of Gond. The rootinist, tootinist cowboy west of the spine of the world. I think I've only tried to play Gnomes when I'm creating a ludicrous character. Gnomes lend themselves to the absurd, more so than other races.
