    First-time DM--Where Do I Start???

    I don't know if I have much to add, but I will definitely tell you some things you should remember, and most have been said above. 1. Keep it very simple. 2. If you get stumped, don't look up the rules over and over. An 11+ succeeds, a 10- fails. Nobody likes to sit and watch the DM flip...

    How do you describe D&D?

    This. While you are bored one day, laying around, run a simple adventure that is rules light. Keep dice rolling to a simple 11+ success, 10- failure. This is basically how I got my girlfriend to give an actual game a chance. Well, that and the fact that we live together in a one bedroom...

    My preferences for D&D are odd

    1. We generally play characters to around 8th-10th level and then semi retire them. We play new characters and once in a while we break out the old ones and do a paragon adventure. This way, the world seems like there are far fewer paragon threats than heroic. We have yet to hit epic with any...

    One shot ideas

    I like it. I could run that one pretty easily since their highest level characters are elves. Great idea. Anyone else got anything?

    One shot ideas

    I like to have a couple of planned adventures that lend themselves to specific types of characters ready to go. Normally it is a few short encounters, some combat, some rp, some skill challenges. For instance, I planned one for a gnome rogue that had to recover a very valuable flute that...

    Running Shops

    Regular mundane items I just let them get them for the most part, unless there is a specific reason they can't. Magic items must be found or given to. Potions and scrolls can be purchased in some place.

    Most Played FRPG of 2010

    My tabletop group has only done 4th edition, but I was apart of a short lived 3.5 PBP game that never really got to far into because of a poorly motivated DM.

    Red Box Under The Tree

    I gotta be honest. You had me for a while but then I just realized your post had went hay wire. If you want to run redbox at a family gathering, well, good luck. I would feel pretty weird trying to get a group of 4-5 players that had never played D&D to actually play. My rule of thumb is no more...

    I am having trouble finding somewhere to order these online, anyone know who sells all three? I only see #0 on Amazon. Only bookstore in town is Books a Million and they didn't have it when I checked yesterday. Edit: Found them at mycomicshop.com

    Siege of Augusta in Full Gear! Jan 21-23 2011

    There looks to be only one D&D game, and the time listing is ALL. Is one person just sitting around a table hoping someone comes to play? I'm not very interested in warhammer and don't recognize most of the other listings. I've lived in Aiken my whole life and have never heard of this...

    GM's anyone ever have a Female?

    My girlfriend just started gaming with us, and she is really enjoying it, so I'm hoping she will DM a game soon.

    I enjoyed the celebrity game, don't know how I have missed seeing that before.

    Is there a table-top role playing game that involves only dice?

    I've played D&D for 14 years and have always only used paper & pencil. We have never used miniatures.

    How do Wizards cast Spells?

    A couple of sessions ago, one of my characters was bound by magical shackles. They still aren't sure of the power of the shackles, but I essentially made it where they could only make melee basic attacks because they couldn't produce the semantics of the power. I am old school, and so are they...

    Asymmetric gaming worlds

    At this point in my current campaign setting, the characters are the most powerful good guys. They have to use magic to improve the technology. At this point, the PCs aren't doing anything to improve the technology, so the technology isn't improving. If they ever intent on caring to improve the...

    5E - How would you structure it?

    I like the idea that there will not be any new edition of D&D. I like to think that every few years, there will be an Essentials type books that revamp classes that are still balanced and compatible with all the previous classes. Lets pretend after Essentials, there will be a like called...

    How much $ per month do you spend on Gaming?

    Most of my money these days is spent on printing character sheets. I go through a printer cartridge every couple of weeks. We only play 1 on 1 gaming normally, cause we can't find other players locally that actually show up so we easily do 6-8 encounters a session. Sometimes more since it is...
