I can't say I am thrilled by it I prefer paladins to be LG and anything else to be holy warriors. But it is a simple house rule that can easily be fixed.

I use NPCs all the time to fill in much needed skills the party might be missing, to help further the plot, to mess with the characters or whatever.

The hardest thing I had to do was stop DMing for awhile. My health and some other issues were making it impossible for me to take the time to work on my campaign. I knew the players were loving it and they didn't want me to stop but I could sense the unhappiness with many times I was cancelling...

I found that having an alignment system does help. There are players who without one will play what is ever convenient for the situation, now there is nothing wrong with playing a morally ambiguous character like this except when they are playing a cleric, paladin or view themselves a good...

We have three DMs and we all do it differently. When I DM I do number 3. I want the players do be able to work together without all the drama of why would my character be here and adventure with this character. I also don't want toes stepped on I find if two people both want to play a mage type...

No one is saying don't invest time in your passion. But doing that requires choices and managing your time. He came here asking for advice on how to do both so that is group is not angry with him. That sounds to me that he wants to do both. Nobody is telling him he must DM we are saying that...

I prefer using the 2E for the Realms when I run it. I will play 3E Realms but after that is dead to me. I hated the changes.

I like alignments as a tool for character development I use them in my game. I always ask the players what their alignment is and what it means to them. I also at the start of the game give a brief write up on the laws and morality of the area the players are from. I don't believe alignments...

I totally disagree with this. Did you read the whole thing he took three months off to build a tank then he started the game up again and now he is saying he wants to build another tank and his players are worried that he going to take another long break. I don't blame them one bit for being...

When I DM I ask that the players sit down and work together on character creation. I give them an idea of what kind of campaign I want to run. I have found that doing this makes a more cohesive party that will work together. I can't tolerate anymore the whole strangers meet in a tavern and go on...

I had a bearded dragon. One day I was sorting my miniatures out and I just decided to put him on the table he was like a ancient dragon kicking butt and taking names as he knocked them all over the place and stood on them. What I can I am easily entertained. :lol:

I can understand why your players are getting angry and a little worried. Most of us gamers are reasonable when it comers to real life interfering with games. But when it is another hobby always taking precedence you start to wonder just how much commitment to the game the person has. I have...

I know we are not supposed to bring real world religion but there is a precedent in the Bible with the Nephilim. The sons of God (angels) mated with the daughters of man. So I don't see them being that much rarer. There could be a lot of reasons for the mating love, the need to create heroes.

Movie wise I have seen X men and Maleficent and enjoyed both of them. Saturday I will be seeing Edge of Tomorrow. On TV I am enjoying Salem, Da Vinci Demons and looking forward to season 2 of Defiance. On Netflix/Hulu I have been watching Sword Art Online, Miss Fisher's Mysteries, The 4400...

I am reading Winds of Change by Mercedes Lackey On audio I am listening to DR Who Tales from the Tardis Vol 1

I can understand why they are doing this but to Realms fans they are messing with a lot of what we liked about the setting. I wish they would leave it alone and make another setting the default.

I have found it to be the exact opposite with the group I play with most prefer goody two shoes over bad race gone good. Unless you have solid data on players preferences it is just your opinion from your experience. I am not not fond of 4E teiflings and if that is how they are in 5E it will...

Maybe because we usually only have small parties this is a real issue. If you have a party of four and one is a lame duck that puts a lot of the work on the other three. There is also the idea of sharing XP if you do nothing for most of the game then why should get an equal share of XP? I am...

I did read it. I don't see how your PC pulled his weight. But if your DM and the other players were okay with it in the end then that is all that matters. I don't play hack and slash and I don't believe a character has to be a classic adventurer to be valuable to the party. I will say I have...

I think that is they key finding what motivates the players. The group I play with get very involved in the world and with the NPCs so they give a damn and I can use that as a consequence that effects them as much or more than PC death.
