    How much profanity in your game?

    Yeah, there's some swearing at our games, mostly out of character, but also because most of us refer to the characters in 3rd person about 60% of the time. I actually manged to offend my players with an NPC. The entire party are Elves. Their first encounter with a human had them saving his...

    How closely do you track daily expenses for your players?

    As a general rule, no. It's not going to make or break the game if we haven't tracked their money down to the nearest copper. I also assume that their torches are lit, waterskins are full, quivers replenished of mundane arrows. All of course assuming that they are in a situation where that's...

    How Many Groups Do You Play In?

    I voted 2 despite the fact I play in 4 groups. 1 group meets every thursday 2 groups alternate wednesdays 1 group meets about one sunday a month. I'm running the world largest dungeon for two of the groups, a homebrew campaign for another and play in the 4th. The groups are various...

    Do priests of Pelor in your campaign

    Have "kickin' tans"? I don't know why but it just seems to be something the priests would do in their off time or maybe even as a type of worship... The two female elves in my game were slightly taken aback by when they were invited to worship and the priests didn't let anything get in the way...

    Is gaming without map and minis really bad?

    This question always comes up from time to time. We use maps and minis. For me, Mini's are the creature collection printed onto cardstock. Photoshop makes it easy enough to get 15 horses without printing the page with a horse on it 15 times. My players have feats and abilities that come into...

    Are there any ways to negate Evasion?

    I give my players information to make an intelligent choice and would gladly suggest some choices if asked. I just like to know what my players are capable of as it makes it easier for me to provide an enjoyable and appropriately challenging game for my players.

    Are there any ways to negate Evasion?

    This reminds me of players who don't tell the DM what their ranger's favored enemny is before it comes up during the game because they fear the DM will not use the favored enemny in the campaign. As A DM I feel it's my duty to introduce things into the campaign like your favored enemny so you...

    Egyptian/Arabic themed encounters

    The Characters are Elves mostly. Their forest was attacked by orcs (back when they were 2nd level) and when the Eye of Grummush leader died he pronounced a dying curse on the elves. Now everywhere that blood was spilled abberations appear and the only way to make it stop is to plant varying...

    Egyptian/Arabic themed encounters

    Looking for some good suggestions for Egyptian/Arabic themed encounters. The party is 7th level so anything from CR6 to CR10 or 11 would fit the bill. When they hit the actual desert they are running into Jann so I'm looking for other possibilities...

    Best(?) Second Level Bard Spell

    My bard makes extensive use of Alter Self. Mostly it's been for the natural armor goodness that comes with being a Trog. Eventually I'll explore the other forms but it's hard to pass up that THICK skin..

    Let's talk about pirates in your game

    It took every ounce of my self restraint not to have them attacked by Pirate Ninjas.

    Let's talk about pirates in your game

    My players are currently crossing the ocean. They've encountered scrags, water nagas and a drowned (MM3). They would have made it to the other shore by now had Naga's not convinced the captain to change course via suggestion. This week play opens with "ship ahoy!!" That ship is full of...

    Laptops at the table - Do you use them?

    85-95% of my game prep happens on my desktop computer at home. Because I've moved to the next state over if I forget to print something out or the players force me to change my plans I no longer have the option to just call a five minute break and run for my computer. I now use www.logmein.com...

    I cheated last game session

    A 14th level character should have WIPED THE @#$*@#$ FLOOR with your rag tag gang of fledgling adventurers. This tells me a few things 1) The DM was probably expecting you to use stealth/diplomacy/trickery or some other option other than a jail break 2) The DM has a tenous grasp on the ruleset...
