    Toning Down the Magic

    The spells are going to be problematical. I think what I will do is pull the two spellcasters asise and aske them to work with me to hit the goal of lowering the power down on spells. That way they have a sayso in the process and won't feel nerfed so much. I realized I'd best keep a list of the...

    Toning Down the Magic

    Thats a relative statement. I'm not particuarly going for a low magic world, I'm going for one that is toned down. It's a pain in the behind to deal with 13th level demigods in my FR campiagn where I left everything open and was awarding fairly standard treasure. I've allowed spells from the...

    Toning Down the Magic

    Hm... this is true, I hadn't considered it. I will have to think on this one. I may have to alter the lists for priests and make certain spell unavalible to the Mageblade. He won't like it, he's a munchkin at heart. His wife plays the Cleric and I haven' seen her play in D&D enough to judge her...

    Toning Down the Magic

    A bit ago I started a thread talking about high level play. I was expressing my dismay about how difficult it's been for me to run my Forgotten Realms game now that the players have reached the 13th level tier, and it's looking like it will just continue to get more difficult. They are laden...

    Detect Evil on party members

    Supernatural Only Hmmm. Is mine the only game in this thread that limits alignment detection spells to supernatural creatures? Outsiders, Magical Beasts, Aberrations, Dragons, etc. Try to Detect Evil on an Orc and all you get is the equivalent of magical static and probably a pissed off Orc...

    Fellow DM's how would you deal with this player?

    NP Gorrstagg, I was just playing peanut gallery to your good advice. Actually I rather figured that perhaps you thought the point so obvious that it didn't need to be mentioned. You have a very good grasp of small group politics.

    Gamers and Stereotypes

    I married my high school sweetheart. At the time (mid 80's) it was not the popular thing to do, in fact I had all kinds of people telling me how crazy I was, except my parents. They married out of High School, and they knew how amazing Katy is. Ultimatly, I asked myself this question;"What's...

    FR: What's up with Lolth? (Spoilers, please)

    I spit upon the evil mistress of Spiders and her misguided servants. The day may be yet long away, but my people will taste the light of the sun upon their faces and work in peace with the surface dwellers once again.

    Fellow DM's how would you deal with this player?

    I was following down the list of responses looking for this one to make certain it was voiced. My opinion exactly. GM's, regardless of the game being run, are leaders, organizers, and the final arbiter of the game. This is well stated. The only thing I'd add is not to say this in front of the...

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    Data Drive Crashed My 120 gig Western Digital data drive just died. I lost five years worth of data. Some of it was backed up but not nearly enough. One of the things that hadn't been backed up were the electronic copies of the WLD maps (both AEG and players). Would someone please be kind...

    The Player's Pledge

    :confused: I have a library of several thousand RPG books. She wouldn't just banish me to the couch, she'd host a book burning!

    What games or game systems do you miss playing?

    Gamma World. D&D was my first exposure to roleplaying, Gamma World was my first exposure to campaign play. The new D20 Sword and Sorcery Gamma World game doesn't capture the same flavor its original design did... that owing a lot to the technological advances we've made which had to be figured...

    The Player's Pledge

    It's mostly annoying when they do it when my wife around. Explaining the whole GMing thing to her gets to be embarrasing when that happens... :eek:

    [Wulf's BARAKUS FOLLIES] LOST CITY OF BARAKUS TPK...?

    Hmm. One person said it, but the wrong way. One of the first laws of GMing is, “what would be most fun now”, for your players NOT for your NPC's or monsters. I'm not suggesting you don't know this, I'm responding to the above quote. How can this situation be turned into the most fun for the...

    How good of a DM are you?

    Isn't that an amazing sensation to be at a social function with your friends, completely non-game related event, and find them enthusiastically talking about the last game session you ran for them? My players are all very professional individuals with families and careers, I think the games I...

    The Player's Pledge

    My newest player came up with this idea and presented it to me the day she was voted in as a full member of the Sanguine Sentinels game club. I thought it was funny so I'm posting it here. I think she may already be my favorite player... ;) “Players Pledge” “You are right, I am wrong… You are...

    What happened to Karsus and Wulgreth? And other questions about FR-history.

    Box set? I have the suppliment for 2e Faerun called "The North", but it wasn't a boxed set. Where did this come from?
