I have a GMPC, because it is the only way that we can have enough PCs. Only one of my players is at the point where she can take on two PCs. The other tried, but he didn't do too well at it. Even then, we sometimes have to drag my husband in if we are getting slaughtered.

During the summer and Christmas Break, once a week. The rest of the year, 1-2 times a month. Two times a month seems to be our happier spot as far as storyline goes, but scheduling is frequently an issue, so we make up for it during the times of the year that we can. Everybody lives in the same...

There is also the classic athletics check.

Yep. My kids know nothing about the Forgotten Realms, so I can mix all the timeframes together and nobody will know!

I feel you on this one.

Spend at least 15 minutes prepping a day, at least three times a week. Thanks to work and school, we frequently go several weeks between sessions, which makes it easy to not feel pressured to prep . . . and then Game Day hits. I would also like to be a player, but in my small town that is...

Even if you don't have an issue with healing, this sounds like fun. My problem is that I would forget to change it. Lol!

It was a fairly quick session today. Last time, we had tied up Sir Egan in order to haul him in front of Ontharr Frume. That was done today and then everybody chose factions. Most people chose Harper, but one of the drow chose to join the Order of the Gauntlet. Also, when they consented to...

I like those ideas!

We just arrived in Elturel and my players decided on some downtime before continuing the main mission. (I had already decided that I wasn't sticking to the imposed urgency of the text anyway.) My newest player learned how downtime worked, so that took a bit of doing, but the biggest fun turned...

I put rarely, because I don't build from scratch. I use a published adventure. However, my players have a lot of say in what the next adventure will be.

We're getting all the kids new dice sets in their stockings. And I bought a couple of books just for me.

Thanks for this. I was planning on using Scales of War to finish everything off, but I hadn't found the conversion for it.

Following, since this is how I am hoping to end my Dragon Horde campaign as well.

That's one reason why I wouldn't let anybody choose Dragonborn in my current campaign. They are the enemy.

All races are allowed, but I usually limit player choice, especially at the beginning of the campaign and if they are inexperienced players.

My daughter just flat out told me, "Unless I say otherwise, I'm only talking as Del." Makes it easier, even if I encourage her to flesh out both characters.

This happens frequently in my game, since I mainly run for my kids and my husband is unreliable and reluctant at best -- not his type of game. I do run a player myself, but what I also do is have at least one of the players run two characters. If one of those characters dies and they want to...

Players frequently die in my campaigns. We also TPK a fair amount. When a character dies, but at least one party member lives, a new character is rolled and we figure out a way to introduce them. If we have a TPK, we do an auto-reset before the battle that killed us.

We do if it is either something that is bought or something that is hard to come by. If it is just some ash that was scooped up at the campfire, not so much.
