    LOL Im sure this has been posted here before but check this link out...

    How ever did they find out!?!?!? Oh, my Dark Lord! We're doomed! What a friggin' moron. "Clues- Ile two. Price check, Clue." :cool: Obviously he has no idea what its about much less seen anything in play.

    Things that annoy you as DM?

    No we wouldn't. ;) I hear that all the time, no description of what they are doing. Usually to get a description I say something like- "okay, you climb up the rock face avoiding the easy climb and going for the out crop, which catches you another hour, but with your skill and your thrill...

    Things that annoy you as DM?

    That is the same thing that two of our players use, but both seem to not be into gaming some of the time, and niether seems apt to roleplay very well or in depth while they are. I understand it helps to keep them awake after a long day, but dam we're at the table to play, they can knit the...

    Things that annoy you as DM?

    Forgotten plot lines. Sleeping players- okay so they sleep because they have worked 8 hrs driven two and have been up for twenty two hours. Knitting Off topic conversations during a description. "You see movement in the trees ahead of you," while over the top of that the Player is talking...

    Things that annoy you as a PC

    Frustratingly complex plot lines that leave the players trying to remember clues from three years ago. Players taking personal what happens in character. Sub plots ignored by other players. Other players that can't or won't try to learn the rules even a little bit. Knitting- <informing tone>...

    3.0e OR 3.5e

    We had a lot of reasons for staying with 3.0e. It had a lot to do with the facing and size changes in 3.5, some of the spells, cost of replacing all those books, relearning a new system (not new- just different), and the feeling that 3.5e had been a lie. I was lead to believe that 3.5 was just...

    Spell Components--do you use them?

    My wizard buys a new spell component pouch every few adventures (depending on how much spell casting he does by my perception), and keeps an extra on his person. Any component that cost coinage is a must to have on the character sheet for all characters. Even one of our fighters carries...

    3.0e OR 3.5e

    Curious about how many people play what versions of D&D.

    Tell me what's so good about life

    Its an amazing thing to speak up and say- "I have a problem." Hold on to what you have now, try as hard as you can to her only the positive things, and shut out the negitive. I know its hard. Things worth living for- waiting for that one person, falling in love with a great person, them...

    Seeking a little DM advice

    Years ago in AD&D a player wanted to play a different character in the group he'd been with for some time. The DM and him got together and he had a new character- a light weight Fighter. The Cleric caught on and the Assassin was disarmed and disarmored. He proclaimed that he was trying to...

    What good are insta-kill spells and monsters ?

    Couple of things- I agree that it sucks. There is so much story that can be told without killing PCs using inst-kill spells/abilities. Hell I am known for having NPCs just for that reason- insta-kill some an NPC that has been around for a few levels and people might pay attention. At some...

    If PCs are 1st level, why don't their 9th level patrons help?

    There are lots of great ideas in this thread, lots of which helped me to understand the same question your having here. One of the things I did in my last campaign was the PCs met an elderly man- Bard by the sounds of him, thou he claimed to be a wizard minus his books. He noticed something...

    Writing a character out of a campaign

    A question- is she the only Ranger? If she is is it critical to have one at this stage of the campaign? If it is it sounds like you might need to keep her around and get rid of a different NPC. What about the thought that she gets a little drunk and ends up in the sack with one of the...

    Role playing is not the opposite of combat

    We played a lot of <look about to make sure no one is listening, then whisper> GURPs, before we got into D&D 3.0e, I have found that our discription are lessened. Example- "run at him, put all my force into planting my feet into his chest," while in D&D its more like "move up to him, and kick...

    [rant] My DM is taking his toys and going home!

    Running with multipal GMs is best, it gives GMs time to refresh and see other ways of doing things. I recently talked my wife into taking up GMing so myself and the other GM could be in a campaign together as Players. She agreed and we have lots of fun (he plays a barbarian/Fighter Dwarf and I...

    Scrying is Fooled by-?

    Thank you, Baron. :) I learned a valued leason recently from EN World related to how to treat people on the net. We're all in this together, please feel free to assist or to make comments as you see fit. Peace, everyone :)

    Scrying is Fooled by-?

    I tend to think in manners of what the character can do and what I don't know. Intro- Alran has an 18 Int, 17 Wis, Spell Craft 16, Knowledge- Arcane 17, Scrying 13, Alchemy 14, those are his highest skills because of his deep love of magic. Me on the other hand am a Carpenter 14 yrs of...

    Scrying is Fooled by-?

    Not sure if he created the name or if its something he pulled out of a book. He's really good at intigrating information with things he makes up. If anyone knows the source let me know, I might want to find out some info on them :D Okay, so I really wouldn't, but....

    Scrying is Fooled by-?

    He mentioned that the Underdark has a number of metals or ores which blocked or made porting difficult and scrying a pain, so you are correct there. The War Priest is on his way out, so if his cohort dies there is no skin off his nose- thou my character looks pretty bad as a leader for...

    Erky Timbers is a )@^$#)(^ moron!

    :D Hay! No crap talk about my little buddy Erky! He's a close friend of at least two of my characters, and ran with two of the groups we run (both in the same world). He retired to the Lortmills, but he's remembered and loved. Erky is smart and knew he couldn't get away without some gear...
