    Retcon the dumb "Faction War" and bring back the FULL on Blood War?

    I guess I liked the Blood War, but I tended to play the fiends and devils as just really, really evil souls enjoying the fruits" of being wicked as per their alignment. I always liked the Planescape vibe, I guess I was the kind of DM that would have them drinking tea at the tavern, creating...

    Preparation for my Summer 4E Heroic Tier Campaign

    Yep this is something I am toying with for sure, having her start as an ally and then turning the tables later. I have been going back and forth with a friend and when I have some more time I will post some of my ideas along this path.

    DM: What kind of (D&D) campaign do you feel like PLAYING?

    This is how I ran a long running Supers game with a high focus on mystery and conspiracy. I tended to steal plots from the players constantly. Great advice. Edit: I would want to play in a social/conspiracy game with deadly but cinematic combat and interesting characters. The setting is not...

    Minimizing Prep Time - Forked from "DMing: from fun to work "

    I could never run this but it sounds amazing and fun. For me I find most of my prep time is spent before I start the campaign once I have the pre-game stuff done, the actual session time is maybe an hour or two going over notes creating cool encounters and extending plot lines.

    New Generation Legacy, Issue 2: A New day arrives

    "With your flight you can stay mobile, I can manipulate gravity effects, turn invisible, and I am plenty strong and tough... I can get in close and immobilize it maybe? But if it learns and adapts to our attacks we need to keep it off balance right? I know we don't all get along but we gotta...

    [M&M2e] New Generation Legacy OOC

    I enjoy the Nick and Emmett verbal sparring. I have to be careful to make sure I frame things from his point of view, but it's fun.
