    Does Adulthood Change the RPG Experience Much?

    Adulthood gave me less time to play. Maturity, on the other hand, made me more of a role-player than roll-player. Experience gave me the insight to cater to, surprise, and occasionally even shock my players when I DM.

    Chronicles of Essenon: Blood on Snow-updated 4/12

    Zombie Apocalypse Day 9 Mard dreamt. He dreamt of halls of stone and the smell of earth. He dreamt of the hearty cooking of his homeland. He dreamt of ale, and robust women, and the joy of finding a new silver vein. He dreamt forever. Eoghan paused in his patrol. The sun was rising, and he...

    2 (or more) PCs per Player

    Much of the time a player will favor one character over the other, especially in pure role-play situations. It is a good way to fill a role in a group though-my current group lacks a cleric, so I'm thinking of giving someone an ambulatory first aid kit :D

    Players: Do your characters need to be kewl?

    I agree with Piratecat. My characters typically come from Everyman backgrounds but become kewl over time.

    Do Personal Opinions Of Authors, Etc Dissuade You From Purchases?

    If you're asking whether someone's political views or whatever affect my purchases-no. If they engaged in triskaidekapyronecrobeastiality or baby sacrifice rituals I might not buy their product.

    Purposely NOT filling the four roles

    My current part has no healer except a low-level paladin. Several times I've put them it situations only to discover that they can't get through because they're taking too much damage.

    Why dont you kill PCs?

    I give role-playing award points that can be exchanged for XP or saved to alter die roll-this tends to keep character death down. How lenient I am with PC death depends on how inexperienced the players are and the situation-I think there have been 3-4 in the current campaign.

    The ripping of character sheets

    Like pretty much everyone else here, I think it is a rude gesture. Why not just flip the player the bird? Same thing. I'll kill a character, but gloating about it is juvenile.

    Favorite Template?

    When I first saw this thread I didn't think I really had a favorite. Looking through my NPC folder I realized I love the multi-headed template. I have a three-headed half-dragon ogre that my players have encountered (thankfully not fought-they're only 4th level) and a 12-headed pseudonatural...

    Is the Miniatures Handbook worth buying?

    Worth about $8-12. Got mine for $10 used. Definitely not worth full price.

    Craziest builds?

    My favorite was a short, fat, greedy, charismatic Merchant-thief from the 2nd edition Al-Qadim setting. He was a lot of fun to play. No physical stats with bonuses, but really intelligent and charismatic. Craziest is a critter-CR 25 12-headed pseudonatural mature adult green dragon which is one...

    Chronicles of Essenon: Blood on Snow-updated 4/12

    “Where the hell are these things coming from?” Genneth cried, cutting down another zombie from the seemingly endless wave of them. “We’ve got to escape!” Horgat said, “I just cast my last lightning bolt and…” “Horgat!” Dianne screamed as her husband disappeared under the zombie tide...

    Chronicles of Essenon: Blood on Snow-updated 4/12

    Zombie Apocalypse Day 5 “You’re insane!” Several of the townspeople looked over at the young noble’s outburst. “Shut up!” Draconis hissed, “we’re trying not to start a panic here…” Ducal Prince Ehren interrupted the orc, showing the same lack of wisdom that had seen him caught in the middle...

    That is what I figure-I'm just seeing if anyone might think otherwise.

    EL Modifiers for Multiple Monsters

    Typically I give +1 for each doubling of numbers past 1. 4 1/4 CR=EL 1 8=EL 2 16=EL 3 I figure for higher CR critters I'll have to revise it.
