Man, I missed that by one day. Instead, my group last night could have fought a Lemon-flavored Dread Mummy Priestess of Chardun... Curses!

Lots of good suggestions in this thread. Here's one I have used and recommend it strongly. 'Seed' the campaign with lots of smaller plots and goals before you get started. By this, I mean, taking some time with each player and helping to work up their background so you can draw from it as the...

Is she going archer spec or two-weapon fighting style?

Wow, the hezrou looks sweet. Will the main focus of this set be Outsiders? If so I may invest heavily given that my next campaign will be Planescape.

Thanks for the replies! Definitely some things for me to think about. If anyone else has suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Much like the Gneech, I want to find a game I can play in as well as run my current tabletop. I've been sizing up people at the NC Game Days, looking for those suitable for my nefarious... I mean wonderful idea. :D

Wow, thanks for popping in the thread, Kemp. For what it's worth, don't sweat Shemeska's issues too much. As you can probably tell, he's clearly biased towards all things fiendish. :D

My group is awesome; I trust 'em complicitly. We're even to the point where we revel in our bad rolls just as much as the good ones. The natural 1s are always a point of interest. I still use point-buy for stat generation, though. It's not trust, but instead not trusting probablility. I'd...

Good to see you back at this, Spider_Jerusalem. I had followed the story the first go round, then it disappeared. Trust me, I know exactly how that goes. So please, continue on! You have my ear...

I’m working on a variety of house rules for my next campaign which will be set in the Planescape setting. One of the points I’m on right now are the faction abilities. In 2e, membership in a faction grants an ability and carries a restriction. Some were mechanic-driven (the god-opposing Athar...

Definitely. I used to wing it, play without good stats for opponents because hey, story is king right? But I've gotten more accustomed to the mechanics and I want to keep it fair to the players. They have to abide by rules for their characters, so shouldn't I at least play them straight? I...

My cousins came down to visit from Indiana and the oldest two had started playing a bit. They showed me the ropes and I really liked it. So the next time I went to the mall with parents, I had them buy me the DMG. The game didn't make a lot of sense without the Player's Handbook, but I absorbed...

Ah, I love these threads. Okay, in my campaign ‘The Scars Run Deep’: Things are heating up. The party splits so that half can go to Hollowfaust, city of the Necromancers while the remainder stay behind to craft items and deal with an enemy occupation of a nearby village. The trio in Hollowfaust...

Yeah, I have one in the current campaign. Kelkarrin, a mage who isolated himself off in a tower away from humanity. The PCs had to seek him out, learn from him. Through the course of the campaign they've learned that he's a simulacrum that didn't die, and his originator is the lead wizard of the...

My game revolves heavily around the characters at hand, and any loss of character is noticeable. However, we're all adults saddled with large helpings of RL, so we have to miss sessions. The current rule of thumb is that 2/3 of the game is playable, but any less than that results in no game for...

My time is limited and there are some really good systems out there, so why play something I don't truly enjoy? I've tried a lot of systems over the years, and I know I can have fun with my group of friends in most circumstances. But I've recently passed up on a Star Wars campaign run by a...

I really enjoyed my years playing Earthdawn. The scaling dice mechanic was easy to grasp. Gaining levels was nice, as you gained quasi-magical feats with impressive abilities. The range of classes was good, leaving many that I wanted to try should anything happen to my current character. The...

My fiance' is into gaming just as much as I am. We joke that we'll never break up because we don't want to have to split up the books we own. I had resigned myself to the point that I wouldn't find someone who appreciated my hobbies, let alone enjoy them. I was very happy to be proven wrong. :D...

Many thanks CL. These threads get so long sometimes, it's hard to find the useful information. *grin*

Rel, can you shoot me an email with directions to your place? (or if there's a post with said info, point me to it) I won't be at GameDay, but I'm looking to stop by, hang out and talk shop with people. I'll bring my own food contributions, so no worries there. You can email me at ruiner...
