Great analysis! I usually use #4 - let them say or try anything, then roll to see if it works. The DC is usually influenced strongly by the role-playing - the more outrageous the thing they are attempting, the higher the DC. #2 is, like you said, is good for non-critical situations. #1 also...

IMC, we have a rule: Physics need not apply. Which means that, basically, things will work as you expect, unless they don't. ;) If you drop a baked potato, it will fall, and it will go splut. If you have sex, you might have a baby (one of our characters is about to learn this one the...

In my campaign, death is pretty uncommon - I'm kind of a cowardly DM, and haven't hit my players too hard yet. It's something I need to work on, really, because I think they are on the verge of getting careless. However, it is an established campaign note that raising the dead can only happen...

Indeed - my whole campaign was structured as a way, in part, to explore my own beliefs about god and the nature of the world - one god, no wizards, tough moral choices. Is it still DND? Yes, of course. Is it evil? No, I don't think so. What have I learned? Without going drastically...

ALWAYS have a link to it in your .sig here at enworld - and update the sig when you update the SH. I find most of the ones I have read that way - PC's and Jonrog's, in particular. jtb

I would describe my campaign as... hmmm... tough one. Here's the tagline, though: No Kings. No Wizards. No Dragons. No Stars in the Sky. One Continent. One God. And a whole Lot of Walking Dead The Crescent Campaign Epic Adventure in the Land of ORB

Go check out Iron Kingdoms Warmachine, Privateer Press' mini game... (which, in my opinion, seems to have taken all their time up when they could have been writing a really great campaign setting...)

Yeah, or maybe it's just payback time for a lifetime of being the scrawny, picked-on, nerdy kid...

They bring beer. And snacky cakes. *happy*

very strange double post... :\

My personal favorites are Tournaments, Fairs and Taverns and Everyone Else. They really allow you to flush out your campaign world a lot. That said, there is not much in them for players. As a player, I can't say I have used much non-WotC stuff. Although the Book of Eldritch Might II, Songs...

Yes. The campaign's backstory revolves around a group of nobles and royalty who are sent on a quest to find an ancient relic. The second in line for the throne is also the leader of our party, and we defer to her (more or less). In this case, she makes the ultimate decision regarding what...

As long as you remember to turn first to the SRD for rules questions, then, no, there is nothing there that you really need. I bought the 3.5 PHB and DMG, although I think I could have done without the DMG. I haven't bought the Monster manual, and I probably never will. I can do without the...

As long as you don't slip and pronounce it Kafka, which is a terrible name for a dog... but a great name for a pet cockroach...

I have looked through most of them - in point of fact, I've got material in two of them - and stand by my earlier opinion. Pretty spotty, overall. jtb

It's a dime. big whoopee. jtb

Randomling, that's some really great stuff you've got going! Looking forward to hearing more about it... Question: How do arcanists fit into this world? jtb

We encountered one, a long time ago (1st ed, I think). It was right after the dragon issue which printed the deck on card stock, and you could cut it out and shuffle it. I think I pulled the maximum... and not a bad thing happened - got the magic weapon card, and the experience card, and like...

??? ummm... either sunscreen sells well in undead circles, or your vampires are of the Underdark... ???
