    How do you handle level progression in your D&D games

    Not running any games currently. In the AoW 3.5 game that I'm playing in the DM is requiring a week of training with an appropriate mentor per level. Wait, that doesn't make sense exactly.....it's 1 week to progress to 2nd, 2 weeks to progress to 3rd, 3 weeks for 4th and so on. Much of our...

    I'm Back...Sorta

    For shame indeed! Lithuanians are funny that way though. Many who have been in the U.S. a long time don't want anything to do with the "old country". In Lithuania my relatives laughed at me when I brought a bottle of Lithuanian vodka to a party. They'd rather have the Russian...

    I'm Back...Sorta

    Loki come lately here, but just let me add: I sveikata! ("To health!", Lithuanian toast) Colonel, I have a bottle of Starka with your name on it. It's a Lithuanian liquor made from the leaves of apples and pears and mixed with a touch of cognac and port. It's practically medicinal. Since...

    Enworld Fantasy Football UK (soccer) - Final Standings

    And it should be a good week this go around if your team is still built around Everton's defense. Both games are away, but they could fare a lot worse than Blackburn and Tottenham. Everton, Tottenham, Wigan and Watford all have two matches this week. Is it worth taking 4 points off the...

    Introducing new characters

    More details are really needed to know how to answer this question. In our campaigns there's usually a brief awkward period when a new character is introduced but it passes relatively quickly after the party grills the new character and learns his/her intentions. I think it's one situation...

    Enworld Fantasy Football UK (soccer) - Final Standings

    Just remembered this gameweek starts today. Still a little time to make that last minute transfer. Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton and Man City are all off this week.

    Dark Tower campaign

    I occasionally play in a campaign that the DM has loosely based on the Dark Tower series. He simply adapts OD&D for that purpose. I've only read the first book in the series but I think he's managed to capture some of the basic elements.

    Dealing With Absent Players

    The DMs of the games I play in have established forums for us to discuss things in character and out of character. They post experience and session summaries on those sites too. Yahoo groups works just fine for this sort of thing. We've had times when not every person can be there, in fact...

    None of the above, but I'm currently playing a cloistered cleric.

    Do your players recognize the influences of an adventure during play?

    Way back in the day I ran an entire Top Secret campaign based on Tintin plots. Of course, I don't think any of my players had a clue who Tinitin was.

    Solitude - beastial or divine?

    I think what Bacon was getting at is that society and social interactions are what set humanity apart from beasts and the divine. That a truly anti-social person has lost something of what it means to be human. I chose that sig years ago, and I don't remember exactly what was going through...

    Which World Box set to buy?

    Ah, Harn is a good suggestion. Very detailed yet at the same time kind of generic.

    Which World Box set to buy?

    If you already have your races and cultures made up why don't you just totally homebrew it? Almost any boxed set will include races and cultures of their own so it will require adaptation on your part. If they're close enough to each other maybe just a name change is all that would be required...

    What are the top 10 elements of a Conan adventure?

    A temporary alliance with a foe, born out of the immediate necessity of banding together to defeat a more threatening common foe. The allied foe usually gets wasted in the process.

    How much do you want dungeon crawls?

    I voted 6 but could go as high as 8 depending on the DM. I'm pretty old-school in that I enjoy a good dungeon crawl.

    What are the top 10 elements of a Lovecraft adventure?

    The answer to this question is unutterable due to the inconceivable, unguessed horrors that may be unleashed from the unimaginable blackness beyond space.
