Magic Items fill pages. Even whole books. (Magic Item Compendium). Filled pages and books = $$$ And WotC can just keep churning em out.

I like my sausage zombies covered with syrupcasters. Whole sweet and salty thing going on. Now Im hungry...thanks. :)

I don't get this. The players are not interested in the plot, how is that stupidity on thier part?

"Yay! I always wanted to play in the Midnight Setting!"

If you don't want to be sundered, play an oathsworn. :) (Or alternatively, if you want to make your party angry, play a PC oathsworn with imp sunder) :p

Yeah, I ran a shadowrun session based on a guy trying to get revenge on the pcs when they had no idea who he was. Some security guard that had been shot by the pcs way in the past. Was a great session. "You ruined my life!" "Who are you again?"

I signed up yesterday. Ghouls! Yay! :)

Obligatory Mr. T quote...check! Got no time for your jibbajabba!

Good points. So how does a GM get the players invested into the campaign, so they see beyond thier character and become a part of the world? (I'm asking these questions just for discussion's sake, not as a question for my own campaign)

"Campaign..meh, but I like my character" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've noticed when folks are talking about a game they are not that invested in, they will inevitably say, but I like my character. The purpose of this thread is to...

Celebrim's post does illuminate some of the problems Ive had. If the GM and the players are sharing an ultimate goal in what they want the story to accomplish, then the game can run pretty smoothly. The GM has an idea where the players want to go, and he can prepare without totally scripting...

Agree with Phindar. In gameplay however, my favorite part is scouring my character sheet between actions and trying to find some original way to fight the bad guy. Either by spell, wierd action, or gear used in an interesting way. Standing still and whacking a bad guy with a super combo makes...

Read the advice, and I think it would work pretty well for the player/GMs, the others would wonder why they aren't rolling initiative. I've got a pretty mixed group. For now, I've tried to channel plot discussion and player input to a forums that we have set up, but its been slow going...

Even when I get them to tell me what they want, and I try to provide it, they still just wait for the train to come rolling. I wonder if I have trained them to do that over the years of playing? Or possibly, for all their talk of wanting to drive thier own destiny, they really don't want to...

To throw a twist, steal from the Supernatural hostage episode. One of the hostages is a shapeshifter and the hostage-taker is a good guy npc trying to kill the shapeshifter.

When the DM's sister confronted her exboyfriend at the table about his illegitimate love-child with his new girlfriend. Awkward...very awkward.

3. The King suspects that the Queen is cheating on him with an Ambassador from a neighboring country. He wants the pcs to a) Find out if its true, and b) dig up dirt to get get the ambassador expelled by his own country. They cannot hurt the ambassador because it will cause an international...

I want to run a player-directed game, but usually when I start to, they tend to stare at me with blank looks. GM: "So...what do you want to do?" Players: "Um, we're waiting for the train. Even got a ticket."

Ditto!

They are certainly the biggest drain on time in a game. Imagine the 3rd combat turn of a Druid who has cast 2 Nature Allies and then shapeshifts. If he summons multiples, he could have up to 6 creatures to run and then he gets to attack with his shifted form AND his pet. We had a game with a...
