    Dealing With Prisoners

    Sometimes question and let loose. Sometimes no quarter given. Sometimes you let them run. Sometimes you drag them in for justice. In low levels, capturing enemies actually happens quite often as your blows aren't as powerful to drop straight through -10 window. Many times that we have caught...

    Ten doors. pick one and tell me why.

    Really depends on the party make-up classes, personalities, and alignments. Is the painted eye a known symbol? How about the chainmail veils are they a known section of your world? Doesn't really grab me though. mmm interesting, am I prepared for Winter adventuring? Has possiblities, I assume...

    What materials must a Player have/bring with them at a game session?

    I voted Themselves and Character Sheet. Everything else generally everyone has enough to share. Usually munchies and drink are a self item only with my current group as it occurs almost immediately after everyone's dinner. My last group included dinner during the game. Usually it consisted of...

    Quitting a Game...

    I had to bow out of three campaigns I loved. First one - I joined the Marine Corps and went overseas. Second one - I moved 700 miles away. Third one - I moved and my commute is now 100 miles one way, getting home at 2AM wasn't good when getting up at 5AM to go to work again the next day.

    Is necromancy evil or only as harmless as talking to your dead grandmother?

    It's campaign dependent. Think about the Death Gate Cycle series by Weis & Hickman, in the 3rd book 'Fire Sea' the Sartan (supposedly the good beings) use animate dead quite regularly as part of the persons Death Rites and they are used and venerated as they are used to contribute to society...

    What will Masterplan be after the C&D?

    Actually just tested it. Had a friend send me a character sheet for a 10th level Wizard, loaded the demo character builder to my machine here at work. And it pulled up the character sheet just fine. All the power cards and all. No log in or anything. While I can't level up or change the...

    updates of older modules

    Can't give ya Exp again yet. I think that is a very good method to use when doing remakes of classics, or even Return to XXXXXX. This in itself could boost sales just from I'm not going forward crowd as they will want the older module that is included with it. Considering most of those...

    Spreading XP around ...

    How MUCH you post, not how often you post. ;) I.E. Would get much less than: It's more of a character count of a post vice a point per post. Cause realistically someone could give a full homebrew module in one post, but it be thousands of characters in length and only have a few posts...

    Do you use deadlines in your campaign?

    I picked Often to Sometimes in it's use. Unless there is a hard set one in a module I'm running, for the campaign world I create a general timeline for the world. I.E. In one week the new king comes to power, followed by a build of of the armies. The Thieves Guild plans a jewelry heist next...

    Mearls is the new manager of D&D

    I can agree with that. I would have just exp'd ya, but I have to spread it around some more. I misread the initial talk of the conversions and thought it was was the Version Conversion vice Module ones. Hence my arguement that way. I have no problem with remakes of old modules to new...

    Mearls is the new manager of D&D

    The conversions matter a lot in the scheme of things. Not as much to a new player, but to your older established base of players. Even the jump 2E to 3.5E is fairly painless. Homebrewed innate powers translated well to various Feats (Custom in some cases), the proficiencies right to skills...

    Why Have You Disabled Experience Points?

    There have been a couple. The 2005 one was the one that affected myself. 02/03 was the changeover year from Noah to EnWorld. I remember there was a huge uproar over the '05 one.

    Spreading XP around ...

    Think it would be better served with 10 or 20 people vice 50. Personally I would rather the Experience as it is now called Rep Points and have Experience be based on how much you actually post.

    How do you read your players interest during a game session

    As a player, if my attention is waning my mind really begins wandering. I tend to pick up a game book for no good reason browsing something I thought of. When I'm paying attention, I tend to be moving my pencil a lot. Either in writing or doodling.

    Passing Time Between Campaigns

    Done it a few times in the past. The time variable has always varied greatly. One campaign I was in (as a player) when much younger was essentially, "ah you reached name level now and are settling down, choose which of your apprentices/henchmen to stat out and start their own adventures with...

    OotS #724 is up

    Tiamat knew who to contact about it, stands to reason the demons gave V up as they didn't need V anymore. And old whitey there looks like he was doing some communing when he was introduced.

    OotS #724 is up

    Not all the Dragonborn/kin are Reds. The big one yes, but all the others look like different shades of color to me. The Cloaked one looks like a white. The small one with a bandana a green. And the larger brute a blue. You have a small orange flying one in 718. And I think they would be...

    OotS #724 is up

    Course there is the fact that no one has brought up V is currently in a realm populated by Dragonborn/kin after her little Familicide episode.
