BUMP Just because this is such a great thread and yet it seems to have died

I vote for Standard, just saves some time...of course you could go for High Magic and add a Paranoia flair to it, by giving everyone magic but by also outlawing magic at the same time. :D

I allow Paladins to Multi-class as fighters or clerics without Penalty, meaning that the can train further levels into Paladin even though they decided to concetrate more on either their Physical Prowess or their Spirituality.

Sounds to me as if Meta-thinking is the problem, its hard to not do this but if it is accomplished it can make for much better experience for everyone.

I suck as a DM, but my freinds are all worse :D

WEll key here is the Neutral part, although your character is overall good, he is willing to do whatever must be done for the the greater good. Now if your were Lawful Good then you'd do whatever you could within the confines of the law, but being neutral good means that you'r willing bend or...

We first off I suggest getting small "HourGlass" one that runs for about 30 seconds (These can usually be found at a game store for about a buck), if the players haven't decided on a course of action by that time the Opponents get an attack, and everytime it comes to a players turn just turn the...

And don't forget serious OCD :D

Thanks, it still needs alot o work though, got to come up with somemore names, and need to finish bringing the rest of the Monster Manual over, and add in a tab for creating PCs with all the base info thats needed. and so on, and anything else I think of by then too. :D

Well here is my DM Notebook thus far, still working on names of locations and shops, but I think that I'm comming along nicely thus far. :D EDITED: Well I've dones a bit more work, and added in a few more tabs with info, and filled in some holes I had, if anyone can think of anything else I...

I had to vote other because I feel that being a good DM requires all of the poll options, but all of these things can be learned. Although inorder to become a Great DM it requires talent, and not everyone has the talent. Your DM may not have it, hell I don't have it, or he may not have found...

I do something similar to this, I roll 4d6 8 times and drop the lowest and the highest, helps to balance things out a little better, but while playing you have to remeber that even though the PCs are supposed to mortal and falable, they are also supposed to be heroes, and what kinda hero would a...

I use them exclusively from my Laptop when I'm running a game, but to prepare for a game if its a massive part of my campaign then I print them out for easier reading and ability to make notes.

I think its a good idea if you wanna give your players a better feel for the area around them, and a more immersive feel...as far as hidden doors/traps/items that they need to roll to find make 2 cards one that you first give them without anything showing that they have to find, and the second...

In an 2e game i was once playing my group wandered into a room empty except for a burning furnace, well with nothing else to do and while the rest of group argued over what to do and where to go since we were completely lost at the time, I slid the DM a Note, written on the note was, "I kick...

Personally, I'd love to see a book on Centaurs, give me the full background on their history, legends, mythology, religon, everything. And even options for being a playalbe race would be cool too. Now its possible that they have this and I just haven't seen it. If it is out please let me know...

Well i can honestly say that I've never seen an Intelligent/Sentient item in any game that I've ever played, nor have i ever created one to give to player in one of my games. As a DM you have to be able to step back from the "rules" and realize that they are simply guidelines to point you...

From what I've seen of them (which isn't much) the character sheets seem to be the same sheet that comes in th eback of the PHB, and the DM screen is the same old DM screen thats been out for years, just witht eh updated info on things such as random tables and quick reference guide.

I find that paranoia goes great with the non-RP book 1984

I prefer to leave the structuing to the imaginations of all, if one person wants to create a post for complete character development (what dice to roll, what attributes there are, requirements for each class, starting gear/wealth) then I want them to feel free to, just as I want people to feel...
