Viper's listed fort is a DC11- a little low for a rattler, or is it? Consider it takes like a week for a rattle snake to "regenerate" it's poison, so if a commoner makes that DC11 roll then "the snake bite someone just yesterday, so it's venom sack is empty," is a good excuse for why mister...

Bad GM A character is sometimes necassary for the campaign's future. Kill the wrong one and the campaign is dead. If the GM is protecting his sponses character or older brother (cause he doesn't want to get his can kicked....) then it- well it still lines up to bad GMing. My wife's...

Funksaw- I have played GURPs for roughly ten plus years and D&D3e sense it came out. I can't see a 100 pt GURPs character being much more then a fighter or a ranger with fairly low stats and little skills. Conaill is correct- a 100 pt character in GURPs could not face the same size force that...

Most of our group uses multiple dice in a single roll and call- "white dice" before the drop. Trust in players and GM is the only thing that keeps most of us from lying about dice rolls.

This hits rather close to home as I have a friend and player that I have known for 24 yrs, her RPing has slid considerablely in the last few years. I am considering my own approuch on how to speak with her, as I am unwilling to sacrifice my friendship for my gaming. Few questions regarding...

Been gaming for twenty some odd years, been a member of three groups- the first was led and GMed by a woman that dated my brother. She was well prepared for the campaign area, if you left you entered a fog and exited back intot he campaign area (ya, lame). She was one of the best thou. Her...

Three wizards in one group- As near as we can tell Snow spends all her time on her masters shoulder. Never hear from Snow in any real way. Harmon was a weasel, a coward much like his master (my character- Alran). Thou I would mention Harmon crawling about through Alran's shirt or up onto...

Played GURPs for about ten years or so. Special Ops, Modern, Fantasy, Time travel, Dimension Traveling, etc. Loved it, had lots of fun, killed lots of things and had a great time. Met a few people on line that work for SJG- like Sean Punch, nice guy, easy to talk to, there are a few that I...

Used it in a number of campaigns for GURPs campaigns. It was funny and comical, have yet to figure out how to handle it in D&D (thou haven't really thought about it as the campaigns are very different).

I tell all my players that if I haven't read it then the answer is no they can't use it or play it. If they push the subject then I barrow the book and read it (15 minute read or an all week barrow- doesn't matter), if they would rather not loan me the book then the answer is a solid no until I...

All three GMs in my group use a pretty loose system, which requires a day or two of rest and some attempts at training (Wiz/Soc need to check out their spells and talk "business" with other spellcasters, Monks and Clerics meditate or pray and gain some new insight, Fighters, rogues, etc practice...

When my wife and I bought our house ten years ago I dubbed the family/formal dinning room "The Gaming Room," I had a 4x8 table already built (we recently added a 1" grid to the table top with cloth under plastic so we could write on it with markers). The living room is closer to the kitchen and...

Your one up on me there- I never was in drama club. :) Just joking. I game to be someone else, to reduce stress, to laugh and joke with friends. "Killing" stuff is cool (esp. when the cops don't come to your door) but its not why I game. I like the feeling that gaming is about being...

I guess some times I have trouble making my point and after way to many hours of no sleep, I get a little fuzzy on clear thought and all. Will try again. I prefer the rousing speech to come from the player. Should thir character be this Mr/Mrs Cha then they will have that as a bonus to what...

In my experience the Players generally never ever try again to be the leader type that makes big speechs to lead people into Heck if you make fun of them for trying to make the speech that you want them too. What helps is positive encouraging words. Being an ass or having funny on someone...

(reading the rants from another thread gave me this idea- hope I can get it out the way I want) Roll Playing- To me means pretending to be someone you are not. Acting as that person in a situation that the GM/DM sets up. If your playing a big and mighty leader dude/tte then expect to have to...

Players that say- "that was great!" And they arn' talking about the treasure. Players not falling to sleep at the table. Good roll playing No one POed at others in the group, no one stomping off because of something said. Little off subject, but still in there- after twenty two plus years...

There is a map of a city in one or two adventures. Not sure of the adventure name but the city is Brindenford (iirc), its drawn with small blocks mashed together. If you can photo copy that then put it on a projector at school, project it up onto a piece of larger paper. Why photo copy it...

I hate coming up with the starting adventure but this one is perfect and so stolen for my next campaign. I love that one!!! :D Its perfect! **** :o My last campaign started with 2nd lvl characters- "I don't care how you know each other, you had an adventure, now your going from here...

Its respect, a lack there of a the table whether by Player or GM, treat everyone the way you want to be treated. Don't bad mouth people, don't threaten them, don't talk about them behind thier backs, this is suppose to be fun and its not fun for the people getting disrespected. We all do it on...
