    NPC Generator/Designer

    The output looks very nice. I'll buzz around on your forums and see what all is involved. I'd love to help out in some way as possibly a beta tester, but I'm leery of committing to something and then not being able to help like I promise.

    What games or game systems do you miss playing?

    DC Heroes was a great system. I'd chime in on that, but I think I was always the guy running the game. Damn players... I miss playing Earthdawn. Loved the character progression and the way it handled magic items. And oh yeah, someone else ran the game.

    World's Largest City (see your name in lights)

    Cool. Just got one of my submissions out. And I figured this thread might benefit from a slight BUMP this one time.

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

    Nasty situation. One question, the Drow know that the Ghoul Lord had the token, but how definite is it that they know exactly where it's hidden? If they felt the Ghoul Lord to be that powerful, I doubt they could have done any reconnaisance other than magical. I wonder how the paladin would be...

    Why do most groups avoid planar games?

    From the people I talk to in my area, they aren't against it. A lot of them love Planescape, and would be eager to play in campaigns I'd run. Shemeska's group is also local, so maybe it's just some kind of hotspot here. Truth be told though, I don't see a lot of people jumping to run planar...

    Anyone got the Dummies book?

    Wow. I thought the book itself was part of the April Fool's hoax...

    You last "Kill"

    My scout helped to take down a Forvalaka (sp?), something of a were-panther from the Black Company campaign setting. We were moving through this crypt and the sucker was barred in an area with a raised dais. We started in with missile attacks while it was an easy target, but our presence...

    24 (04/18/05) (Spoilers)

    Our bet here is that Chloe's gonna go too far and Edgar's gonna choke her. He's about two snide comments away from snapping.

    The Story and The Rules

    I like this question because it keeps my focus on both sides of the screen, instead of my normal GM approach. For me, a lot of it boils down to trust and fairness. I don’t mind taking certain liberties with the rules as a GM to make situations interesting or to increase the difficulty of...

    Meh. Maybe we won't.

    He teleports said offending PCs away to inflict a thousand tortures upon them in a few seconds time. Then they return, all cowed down from his omnipotence. Right? Right? :D

    Revelations

    We caught it, as we were looking for something to watch after our weekly bout of Deadwood. I wasn't terribly impressed with it. Too many stretches of emotional moments where I think they could have used the time to better effect. It probably works fine for the target audience though. Good to...

    "By the power of magic..." what is your verbal components like?

    My spoken components are all from the DM side of the table. It'd be nice if my players did every once in a while, but doesn't really happen. I opt for the 'arcane-sounding" nonsense words, a bit gutteral, kind of like death metal in truth. Of course, what do I think of when writing this...

    World's Largest City (see your name in lights)

    I see their nefarious evil plan now. I, the hapless gamer, submit my building/locale. And should it be accepted, of course I will purchase the massive tome. Never mind the cost that made me balk for the WLD! This one was partially my doing!! :] *serious tongue in cheek for this*. Very cool...

    Monster Cards, horizontal or vertical?

    I've been a huge fan of the TOGC cards for a while now. Even pimped them to a new GM who went out and bought their monster card pack. Come to think of it, it doesn't really matter to me if they're horizontal or vertical, because I'm always mixing in index cards which I write on horizontally.

    Your greatest level span in a campaign?

    The current campaign has the longest stretch. From 3rd level to 14th in roughly 2.5 years time. I imagine we'll hit 17th before all is said and done.

    anyone still play West End Games d6 Star Wars?

    Friends of mine play in a regular campaign still using the d6 rules and love it. They tried the d20 system for a while, but didn't enjoy it and switched back. I think they've played SW campaigns on and off for about ten years now. The GM running it has massive amounts of style with his...

    How big is your gaming group?

    I currently have six players and that's the cap number for me. In some ways it's a shame, because I have other friends I'd love to invite into the group. But with our short time frame (we play for approx. 3 hrs every Thursday night), I want to make sure everyone gets some 'face time'. With...

    Changing to another edition

    Man, I played that! Used to go to our landlord's house and play it, because their kids obviously didn't realize how cool it was. =) To chime in about my experiences leaving 2nd ed. after years of 1st, it was more of a timing issue than anything. We picked up a lot of the 2nd ed. material...
