    Cutting stuff out...

    Believe me when I say that I sincerely hope not!

    Suggestion

    However, using our last game as an example, new characters were coming in with *so* much more stuff than the existing ones that I was considering retiring Vincus and coming back as his cousin Vinkus. The game appears to expect a level of buddy-looting to keep parity with the new guys (unless...

    Suggestion

    ...And immediately there's a thread on the main boards discussing the same thing. Suggestions there include the party keeps any 'charged' items - potions, wands, scrolls, etc, or that the character is buried in their primary armour and with weapons they would use, but backpack & contents get...

    Suggestion

    This struck me the other day... Party deaths. We don't really want them (and being a group of mates who grew up together, probably would do everything we can to avoid them). Putting aside the 'moving heaven and earth to get people rez'd' thing, I was thinking about loot. The suggestion is...

    Plans for me Necro.....

    When you've made the bone, is it used up when you cast the spell? Or is it made and kept forever?

    Helping to plan character...

    My spell selection will be very limited. I ought to be able to do cloaks or Resistance and a handful of sneaky/illusion items, but I wouldn't be able to make anything like the whole list, unlike you and Al. However, several of us together would dilute the pool of who's using all their hard...

    Helping to plan character...

    Oh yeah. And flagging up books... I've been looking at the Complete Adventurer. Not planning on dual classing (unless a couple of levels of rogue to get evasion), but I've got my eye on a small handul of bard spells, and feats from that book. The feats are: Versatile Performer (Gives me Int...

    Helping to plan character...

    The downside is that I'm not going to be in a position to make anything for several levels. I'll risk it. Can always change it if I never get to use it...

    Helping to plan character...

    Russ, question for you really, as you know the pacing of this adventure... I'm toying with the idea of taking a 'Craft Magic Item' feat, but don't want to unless the adventure is paced to give us downtime. Is this a fairly 'no let up' paced adventure, or is it a 'chance to rest and relax and...

    Character details...

    Evan of Jiuhu Human Bard Born in Diamond Lake, and been itching to get out for the last 8 years. Got into a lot of trouble through his teenage years, but has now mellowed a fair bit, and is not a regular feature in the various taverns which he performs in, telling Dwarven Odes, human fables...

    Character details...

    Nameless characters... There are two of them which I'm trying to pick between... I'll possibly get there when I know how hitty Doug's character is and if the front line needs bolstering. Otherwise, the bard has me curious... Dwarf Paladin with waraxe and armour. Skill strengths... none...

    Tips on running a superhero campaign

    16) DC Heroes (later Blood of Heroes) would like to be your friend, but it's out of print. 17) If you're confident, throw plot hooks at the players. You don't need to know what you plan to do with them. I just started a campaign with one character married with kids, one with no idea where his...

    Good Superhero-Game?

    I'm going to be contentious and say I worship at the feet of the DC Heroes (later Blood of Heroes) system. There's nothing you can't do with it, you need 2 dice and a pencil. Everything boils down to the same games mechanic, leaving you with the story as the only thing to worry about. No feats...

    Oh no Conan just DIDNT!

    Wrong emphasis... I would never PRETEND to be an Elf.

    It's coming! My First DM time!

    If you've got a clear mental picture, they'll have a clearer picture. If you can't see what's going on in your head, take a second to visualise things, and have fun!

    Warhammer RPG campaign starting--what to buy?

    I'm going to be controversial here... None of the books! (The basic rulebook if you absolutely must, and if you buy that, don't read it...) It's Warhammer. None of the players should have the faintest idea what's going on in a wider sense. They shouldn't be able to to check what percentage...
