I think I'd give him about 5 out of 10. But it's hard to say, because I generally despise his players. Also, this is (obviously) very subjective. (1) I think he does a pretty good job on pacing, which is important for GMs. (2) I don't find his game sessions to have any real depth... but then...

I agree with you, though it doesn't have to be that way at all. I have a four-page RPG system that I'll likely be using to run a long term campaign with. As I wrote it myself, the rules are very clear. They're broad, but they are in no way vague. Contrast this to my two current campaigns I'm...

Sorry for the delay in the write-up, I've been life-ing pretty hard recently. Anyways, we had a short 4-hour session, and here's what we got in: The party had just stumbled onto about ten drow (a priestess of Lolth and nine male followers with hand crossbows and scimitars), and I called for a...

Game day! Woohoo!

While I think that answer might be a little bit... misleading? in how it's phrased, I appreciate the response. Thanks, Hussar.

What if you don't design sandboxes "Theme Park style"? Like my sandbox campaigns, for example. Just curious on your views on this, I'm not challenging you. (Jumping in here because I find the sandbox-adventure discussions a lot more productive or interesting than the rest of this thread. I can...

I stop writing and start again when I get motivation. But I don't have deadlines set by anyone else, so there's that, too.

Thanks! They're good players. I knew they wouldn't want to end the campaign there, though they were prepared -the Scout has vague ideas of playing a Hexblade if he needs a new character, and the Warpriest actually brought a printed-up Warlord to session just in case. It was a fun session...

Okay! So I know it's been a while, but we got another 4-hour session in! We've worked out a new schedule, and we'll probably get about 4 hours in once every two weeks. Better than nothing! Anyway, play report below (and it was an interesting one). (Quick refresher on the four level 8 PCs: a...

More than enough to take on my party of four level 8 PCs :devil:

Remember that part where I said I made my Wisdom check, and therefore staying out of the main thrust of this discussion? Yeah, I'm not going to tell you how to do that. You can't convince them. They can't convince you. I'm just letting people know that veering towards insults and getting even...

I think that's why this thread is failing. (And why I've stayed out of the main thrust of the debate, and why I post so little most of the time these days... I made my Wisdom check and I know to stay out.) What I mean by that is that it seems like people are talking passed one another, and that...

I just looked over the stat block. If the party is at full resources (HP, healing surges, dailies, etc.), there's a really good chance that they'll win that fight. I think that my players could probably fight to pull out a win in that scenario (four level 8 PCs). If you want them to lose, you...

Uh, I specifically addressed this question in my post: "Just like player control here makes for a better game for your group. Which is cool. Play what you like :) My point, of course, is that even though I get some say over that 0.01% (the PCs), my players still love it, and my players don't...

This is me. I get control of the 99.99%, and I get to add details to PC backstory. About that... Whereas this doesn't happen with my PCs. In my RPG, my players currently have: (1) A PC whose parents and family were killed as a toddler... but then he was captured and raised as a different race...

I hate prepping for games, so I end up winging almost everything. I can't stay focused while reading APs or modules, either, no matter how good they are; I just skim, pick up some ideas, and wing the rest. It makes it slightly less "objective" when I don't have solid stats in front of me and my...

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. If all goes according to plan, I should have a new update sometime during the middle of next week.

... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep... thump thump... thump thump... thump thump...

At my table, absolutely. That is not something you get to do.

Improvisation, world-building, believable NPCs. Probably my top 3.
