oooh, I know! 1. keep this thread going for awhile to generate lots of advice 2. send a link of this thread to those guys

I'm a big fan of house ruling, but I have such a horror story. It was a few months after 4e came out. My group had played it several times, but we were all still getting used to some of the changes, and we were rusty because we had dropped 3.5 when the splat books got crazy with the new...

For my money I would say this is how to do it: make the final fight impossible to win unless someone sacrifices themselves. As the fight goes on the PC's start to realize they cannot win (maybe they almost kill the BBG, but then he regenerates somehow, and the PC's know they don't have enough...

I am also a overly prepared DM who was in a simlar situation. I used the above tactic a year ago and it helped a lot. I had to write around it, but that wasn't too hard. The PC's got hired by a local lord to clean out and old keep near town that was infested with goblins. When the were done...

Sweet, thanks dude!

Hey everyone, i know there is a thread on this, and i thought i bookmarked it, but i guess i didnt. So i need ur help, i have two sets of harrowing halls, and i love the 3d tiles. Im interested in the others sets, but i here athas isnt so hot, and the essentials sets only have the box as 3d. I...

bump That's right, so I bumped my own thread, big whoop, wanna fight about it?

I'm breaking into the industry and this is one of my chief concerns. As I've worked on my project I've come to realize that what looks like my biggest barrier is this: if I'm releasing my own RPG, I have to have new products that live up to the quality of my initial rule book to keep...

I cast animate thread anyone looking to do a pickup game of this at gencon?

I agree, I became soured on 4e a year ago and sold all my stuff, but the things that bothered me about 4e aren't an issue with gamma world, maybe because the game isn't so serious. The rules are easily adapted to almost anything you want, including leaving out the cards, so I don't have to...

Since Gamma World came out my group has played in on several occasions and loved it. It's a great pickup game to just mess around with, the character creation is wicked fun and that works so well for those nights when people don't show up prepared, and with a small amount of tweaking you can...

I'm a big fan of the Fox show Fringe, which I feel has gotten particularly good this year (and may I say walter/walternate is the best character on tv). My group likes to play adventures set in modern periods, but one of the problems with this is usually how to make the modern setting...

Railroading = bad however, nothing to do at a gaming session also = bad As a well intentioned DM you have a responsibility to not dictate your players fun... however, as responsible players they also have to be mindful that DMing takes time and effort outside of the game. Meet them in the...

I have the same issue, especially since I also own lots of map packs from paizo. I tend to use flip mats (paizo) and maps from published adventures that I've had laminated most, but when I want something custom the tiles/map packs is the way to go. Here is what I've done Tiles: i bought one...

Rest and regroup. Characters on paper heal up quickly after battle, but real people strain muscles, pull tendons, and bruise ribs. If they don't take some down time they will start to feel the effects of fatigue (loss of healing surges, penalties to skills or attacks, reduced movement, etc...

I like your line of thinking, however I have to say that manipulating the electricity in the central nervous system would be very tough, because you can't see it you would have to have a very good understanding of how that nervous system works. I would say this would be of any "device" you...

Before a campaign, write a good 1 page primer. It is important to communicate to the players what kind of world they will be playing in, and what type of characters they shouldn't make. Not only will this ensure that everything starts of smoothly (someone doesn't make a knight for a pirate...

my "other" was fantasy savage worlds

So my friend bought gamma world and we've played it a few times. Playing it is fun, but making characters is almost better. Here are some of the better one's we have rolled up and added detail to... - A steampunk era giant android that was a meter maid in an alternate universe. He is very...

I don't have the time to follow the format but I ran this a few years ago. It was a modified last stand. Fortify Setup: PC's are in the woods, evading raiding parties of orcs. They come across an old house, find it to be abandoned, then spot an orc scout outside. The scout takes off to warn...
