    How do you handle age?

    Gez- kinda curious and I mean no offense to you when I ask- how long are elves in diapers. I mean if they take 60 yrs to get to 10 then that tells me they're in diapers- what 15-20 yrs? Just curious, perhaps I misunderstand what you meant please, take no offense to this, but this is why we...

    Suggestions for running an investigative-type game?

    One major problem I have playing in investigation type campaigns is I always play the wrong kind of character. No Gather Info type skills to be found, the GM sees that his players are running combat monsters and he wants to run a mystery. Played in one campaign- the party was made up of city...

    How do you handle age?

    Insteresting. You must (?) start them out at a younger age? Right? There are no age old legends that have living wittnesses in your campaign? The GURPs campaign I mentioned has an Elven leader named Titian (his name is hugely long and thats what the PCs call him), in any case he's over a...

    How do you handle age?

    House Rule It Hope this is what you're asking about- We House Ruled the ages down a bit. Elven adults start at 60 yrs, Gnomes and Dwarves at 40. Something I did in a GURPs campaign I ran was- Elves grow physically pretty quick (little faster then humans), but their first 100 yrs (plus or...

    Do you use accents/"funny voices" when playing your PC?

    :cool: I try to use voices when I set them up. The gruff NPC presently running with thte group. Mannerisms are why cool. Methods of voice use. The annoyed ranger Grayson that dislikes authority speaks low and easy. And my all time favorite NPC- Grandpa, he speaks with a terrible southern...

    Stats, how you come about it!

    In my last two campaigns I rolled up four sets of stats and let the Players pick then arrange the stats to fit their chosen class. Everyone picked the same set, but they all got very different characters. ;) It allowed me to keep their stats in the range I wanted them. ;) (We have a...

    Arcane Trickster (3e) any good?

    Unsure of something- one suggestion :confused: You are concerned that stepping away from Wiz for 2 lvls that your group will be weakened in the magic area? That is my understanding. ;) Scrolls and such can help to fill in where your lacking. I realize that your 4 lvls from getting 4th lvl...

    Shopping for Magic Items

    We don't worry to much about buying things. Find a town large enough to support your purchase and your good. Want to buy something of value thou and you have to find a bigger town. Usually we don't have the money for to big of buys. One of my characters is a member of the Arcane Order so its...

    stat em up

    Think about what Gandalf did- what spells he cast. Just say Two Towers the other night (again)- he deflects an arrow, an axe and Heats a sword to the point where it has to be dropped. Heat Metal is sun2/druid2 (in 3.0e- sorry, don't have my 3.5e w/me). He's perhaps a 3rd lvl cleric or a 3rd...

    Maintaining a brisk pace during the game -- tips?

    Write your campaign on your computer, you can change the color of the fonts and fonts so that you can find stuff faster, scan in maps so you can zoom into areas (maps seem much clearer on screan- don't ask me why), clutter is greatly reduced, there are lots of things- its really cool. Sorry...

    Trying to be funny with insults

    Not sure but I think Stop, meant Stop. I think that was his/er intent, that is how I took it. S/He (not sure) seems not to like the idea of arguements and arguing, esp. on BlackSilver's thread.

    Trying to be funny with insults

    Sorry :( Me too. Unfortunately it seems taht some people just don't get- sorry, rambling again. I have known him for fifteen years, and like him a lot. I am the best friend that I can be to him, and have spoken to him on a number of occasions, but it just doesn't seem to sink in. Okay...

    Trying to be funny with insults

    That is possible I suppose. :p Nah, its just a lot of death and destruction in the real world oh, so many years ago. I am finding that emotional pain can do more then give you nightmares, depression, in ability to commit to relationships, etc. I have been getting better, but changing is a...

    Maintaining a brisk pace during the game -- tips?

    Suggestion- When looking stuff up ask everyone to look for it, first one to find it says- "its on page 43," that helps to find things and someone else might have just read that. Stand up while you GM. Anyone have to go to the bathroom- wait 'til after your turn, then you have the whole...

    Trying to be funny with insults

    I have found that people who have a quick wit usually lack empath. They can't see the pain they inflict on people they think of as friends because their tongue is so sharp. Real friends don't attack you with jokes and insults, they say- "sorry, I was trying to be funny and it seemed like a...
