    Girl Genius d20?

    So, you're a normal human with no class (actual game joke that'll NEVER get old). You have 2 hands, 1 head, 1 body, and 1 pair of feet, and only enough room in your backpack for 1 BIG thing, however its a bag of holding for anything not big. So you kick down the door, Kill the monsters, take...

    Evil DM's, I need your help!

    My natural assumption is to say that the demon wants to go "home"... or maybe he doesn't. Revenge would also be a top priority on "my" demon's list of things to do. If the Bard is a PC, I would turn the adventure into a "Lets take a trip through hell" adventure. The players would bear witness to...

    D&D Essentials - What they are and who they're for

    Party dynamics mini game

    The Party sheet from the new WHFRPG is quite interesting. First off, it has a stress-o-meter. Every time the party is in a stressful situation, can't agree on somthing, or generally when the DM feels fit, the stress goes up. At certain points, the stress-o-meter has effects on the party itself...

    How do you award XP?

    I note down how much xp the group gets, and whenever I think they level up, or I just need a 5 minute break from DMing is when I tell the players how much XPs they get. Also at the end of the session.

    How many levels does D&D need?

    No level cap. The game should evolve beyond the restrictions of level and you should be able to make your character advance as far as you and your DM deem fit for their story. I mean, in real life, you keep lerning things until you die, so your character should too!

    Is too small of a sandbox the same as railroading?

    I personally use the 3 R's of sandboxing Remind Retool Redistribute Remind: The players don't bite on one of the few plots that are going on in the world... the plot gets "worse" the small band of goblins attacking the town are now IN the town, pilaging, making merry with the women and cutting...

    % of in-character, out-of-character and out-of-game talk

    My group is extremely social and we like to talk about alot of things. All of us are also friends, so we use our once/week gaming session as more than just roleplaying, though that's what it's officially for.
