    That's where things went off the rails. If I were the secondary DM and didn't feel I could run the town, I'd stop stop the session at the point where I'd otherwise have to, rather than assuming everyone is absent.

    Game Design: Acquiring Equipment as Part of Game Play

    To me, the list of mundane equipment is a part of expressing the character's personality. It starts off quite short and generic, and sometimes it grows substantially over time. A few examples: My first character in the occult WWII campaign was an intrusion and theft specialist. He carried lots...

    A few months ago, exploring northern areas that have settlement, but aren't part of a country, we came upon a large and deep lake, with an ancient ruined city on its shore, as well as a modern village. The villagers told us there were Water Naga in the lake, and there was a low-level conflict...

    District Court Opinion (nuTSR, Tenkar)

    Is it possible that LaNasa's lawyer doesn't understand defamation? Tenkar's name-calling was annoying, by any reasonable standard, but the difference between annoying and actionable is important.

    We had eleven weeks of downtime, each of ten days. Our lead cleric went to a neighbouring country where his religion is dominant, but in an altered form, which stresses greed and obedience to authority, and little else. He was teaching parish priests the less restrictive original doctrine, to...

    How Dragonbane Pointed out the Clashing Desires of My Gaming Group

    I can sympathise with just two of their objections: How frequently have you been running sessions? If it's weekly, switch to fortnightly, and see if anyone else is prepared to run something in the other weeks? From long experience, having a week off between GMing helps a lot with burnout.

    GMs: Do you have a "Before" race for your setting?

    There seems to have been a previous civilization in my homebrew AD&D world, because tombs and the very occasional creature from it get found. It isn't mentioned in the oldest extant records, and nobody seems to have investigated it very much. That's a plot line that's been waiting around for...
