I could have sworn I wrote this allready but... Dravot's speech nearly had me crying. That was very moving. Mass props for the cleric. :)

No, but I do hate it when I feel devalued by my players' comments.

I love it when players want to create part of the world, and I encourage it. But here is a guideline that I maintain. Any knowledge the player gives me is an offering that I can use as I wish. If it's useful, then it'll be used. If it isn't, then it won't. However, it's up to me to use it as I...

My biggest mistake, and it's not a single mistake, as I did it often was to not have a sense of humor about the game. I just took everything sort of personally. I mean sure, they might be having an 'in character convesation' but they're just talking about rocks, certainly not 'role-playing'. And...

True. Crazy acrobatics and ridiculous amounts of dodging are what I remember from the comics. I want more dodging, like the one really good scene. :D

My game isn't exactly normal, but my evil is EEVEL with a capital double E. World destroying, town killing, slave capturing, child torturing evil. However, one particular EEVEL NPC is all the more disturbing because he's a nice guy. He just can't help being an evil, wrong, perversion of nature...

The fight scenes were better, but I was hoping for a little more Hong-Kong style fightscenes. I mean, we've got a super agile guy who can climb walls. Good action, yes, but I wouldn't say best. Though there is that one fight...

Cheezy Comic Action? Check! Fake Science? Check! somewhat contrived, yet touching Romance? Check! Improved fightscenes? Check! Occasional forgetting of abilities whenever convienent to the plot? Check! Great Comic Book Romance. Lighter on the action than my roomates were expecting, but I...

I would definately say try talking to them. Perhaps you can even try an investigative/social adventure (one evening, with a climactic fight or two) to see how it goes. Just be sure to forewarn your players that that is what you're trying first. An alternate route is to slip it in during combat...

Say, he wouldn't happen to have a stoic and somewhat heavy handed bodyguard handy, would he?

Ahem. Yoink! Thanks Tacky! Yet again, you're awesome!

I'd say make absolutely sure that he knows booting is now in the realm of possible actions. I've played with a guy who was oblivious to the fact that his behavior caused everyone around him discomfort. And he couldn't know to stop till we told him.

Ok, so you've told them it's a problem, right? Can you drop them from the game? Is it that bad of a problem? If so, tell them that if they continue in such behavior you're going to have to ask them to leave, because it makes the game less fun for you. While I apprecieate the methods of "Have...

I'm recovering from a similar problem in my game. My solution was to talk to the players about it. One person, to return a favor, helped another by getting him some ointment for a rash. Two days later, the favor was giving back, in the form of diving into combat to save the other's life. Why...

I am so up for intimidating using STR if you can convince my next DM to allow my Wis bonus to hit and AC because I'm percieving what they're doing, and thus better able to counter their actions. Ultimately, the biggest problem I have with this is if you have a high Cha guy in the group, it may...

AAAAH! My eyes! They're bleeding! Couldn't we define Exalts, and then slap a "sucks" template on them to make them mortal? :D Actually, I kind of agree with the idea that, if they're going to do it, hope they do it right. The question is finding out what right is. Funnily enough, here's a...

According to a roomate, the Bard/Assassin combo is awesome.

Excuse me for being less polite than I could have been, but it's been one heck of a rough day. I hate when people call me silly, put words in my mouth, say there's an answer, and then gloss over the most difficult part of my questions. First. I never said that those mechanics couldn't be...

In my current game, oh boy, are they ever charmed. They're stronger, faster, more skilled and heal better than anyone else. Of course, three are fugitives, and the remaining one has memories from a past life slowly creeping in his mind. And they just pissed off a body hopping undead, who, while...

Well, this discussion prompted me to look at both DTRPG and RPGNOW. And frankly, a lot of the DTRPG stuff looks tempting. If more people had heavy discounts like the WW merchendise I might sign up. But, call me stupid, I like printed and bound copies of RPG resources, especially the bigger...
