    What does your ENWorld name mean?

    Malaclypse the Younger was the pen name used by Gregory Hill to write the Principia Discordia. Unless you believe the rumors that Gregory Hill was a pen name used by Malaclypse the Younger. The story goes that he dissapeared in 1970. His last words were, "Come the dawn, the sun shall rise in...

    Sandboxing and bringing wonder and the unknown into DMing

    I think I just fell in love with you a little. That's enough to make me want to go back to high school. I think that I would have been a much better student with a little fun mixed in with my lessons. Good luck with it, I hope it's a great success.

    Sandboxing and bringing wonder and the unknown into DMing

    No, no, I'm not suggesting you run the game for this batch of students. I'm suggesting that you teach them the rules and have them write adventures for you to run in your game. That way, you won't be aware of the content before you open the envelope at the gaming table. Their eager little...

    Sandboxing and bringing wonder and the unknown into DMing

    It's kind of a long term solution, but you should teach your students the game and give them an assignment to write short adventures for you. They should turn them in in manilla envelopes with a brief plot hook that can be given to the players to see if they bite. When the party plays...

    If money were no object

    If money were no object? I would build a round table. And a hall about the table. And a castle about the hall.

    males playing females and the other way around, opinions?

    I've played several female characters over the years, and it's always been fun, so I never have a problem letting a player do it in a game I'm running. For anyone out there who just can't understand why someone would want to play a member of the opposite gender I offer up this, my greatest...

    Birthright??

    i don't know why it didn't take off, but a buddy of mine did a 3.5 conversion that i'm on my way to play in about half an hour. he messed with the world a bit and drew a new map to suit it to his taste and his players, and i've been having a ball.

    Help my wizard go mad!

    Give the wizard way more power than he can handle. Since he's obsessed with gaining more power, he begins unconsciously manipulating the world around him to get more power the best way he knows how: every century a shiny comes along that just hands out more power, so he needs to be there. Now...

    Am I mean?

    Probably, if these folks wanted to be "n00bs" and get "pwned" they would have started playing WoW. The fact that they came to a real life role playing game would seem to me to indicate that they want to roleplay. Please at least talk to the players before hand so that the eminent beatdown won't...

    3.5 or 4th edition?

    I was told that if I was nice and used capital letters there would be cookies.

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    Appologies. Just for you, I'll give it a go. I have a very short attention span, though, so when I inevitably forget, you have to stay on my case. When I do fail, throw things at me. It's the only way I'll learn.:o

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    apparently dead-agent-steve was a zombie when he was recruited. the reason he wasn't worried was because you can only lose so much sanity from one source, and he had known ead-agent-steve for a while.

    Bloodthirsty PC's

    one of my favorite characters was a horrible bloodthirsty sob of a half-orc, who was raised until he was eight in a barbarian orc tribe. then, a group of adventurers found the tribe and slaughtered them mercilessly. he was small enough to hide and was overlooked. afterwards, he wandered his way...

    3.5 or 4th edition?

    woah, when i was 12 and 13(which is about when i seriously got into the hobby), i never would have asked for anyone's opinion. when i was 13, i was an arrogant, self-centered moron who couldn't string a sentence together without numerous occurances of the words "like" and or "man." you coming...

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    nope. they were all, mostly, much more sane than i was at that point. one pc had a habit of steping out of the room right before something sanity shattering happened. one started out with more sanity than any other two party members combined. one was already insane and had become emotionally...

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    oh, same game and same character was my all-time best pc death ever. we were in some forsaken temple to unspeakable creatures in the middle of the desert. turns out we were the second group to arrive to deal with the situation. the first were government agents, who had brought an arsenal of...

    Ah, the stupid things PCs do...

    one of my best stupid pcs stories stars yours truly in a coc game. evil cultists had captured some innocent woman and were preparing to sacrifice her in this old tin shed, so i layed out my plan for a rescue. the rest of the party looked at each other and shook their heads at me. "there's...

    Okay, so *why* is EN World GM-centric?

    DragonLancer, i am shamed by our inexcusable oversight in not sharing with you the super secret dm handshake. please accept this shiny new d20, weighted for maximum pc decimation, as my token of humble apology.
