Reminds me of a humorus moment in a recent game. Player wanted to play a FB. I ask the DM if the party would get XP for the FB if the FB goes ballistic and we have to put him down. DM said "Sure, why not" I jokingly told the other players that we should kill the FB when he gets out of hand...

The secret is how invested the players are in their characters and how invested they are in the campaign. Having run dozens of campaigns over some 30+ years, that (for me at any rate) is the constant. If players are not invested in their characters for whatever reason (could be as simple as...

My campaign world is going on some 25+ years and almost all of my campaigns run in that world. My campaigns usually end differently but all have common elements, namely: The campaign is truly not at at end. The characters are no longer actively being played but their achievements and their...

There is. It is called Legacy of the Green Regent. Legacy of the Green Regent homepage There was the Living City campaign of Ravensbluff but that RPGA campaign has wrapped up, if I recall correctly.

All the -isms is what makes a campaign interesting. All my campaigns have featured them. They are there for the players to ignore or to use in whatever fashion (like trying to change the predjuices of a small group of people to an entire society). But they are there nonetheless, even if the...

It is a player problem. He knew the parameters of the campaign (you explained it to him) and he choose the obvious CN alignment to justify his 'I will do want ever I want' He conciously made the decision to put on the 'Does Not Play Well With Others' T-Shirt, since his character personality...

If your DM steadfast refuses to adopt a 'leveling during the adventure' model instead of the 'level at the end of the adventure' model, then you are ....well, not to put too fine a point on it.... you are totally boned. It may be possible to somehow complete the current adventure at 1st level...

The assumption by the designers of Shackled City is that the party will level up when they get sufficient XPs, not at the end of each adventure. If memory services, the first adventure takes people from 1st to nearly 3rd if not 3rd. That is a long, hard slog for characters 'trapped' at 1st...

Hmmm. What terms are left..... unreasonable, jackass, anal, prick, dip, jerk, capricious, and arbitrary have been used. Hmmm. I got it. The DM sounds quite regimented. Really.... if you can't pick your familiar or your spells, why in hell would anyone want to be pick a sorceror in his...

Given the conditions indicated in the quote, I still do not think it unfair of the DM. As a player, there is no way in hell I would even consider going into a place without getting information on it. So, if the DM says, with your limited resources and lack of contacts, you were not able to...

Our party found the 'Apostle' under the arena prior to the final bout and dealt with it there.

Fair game. The party had options open to them. They were not railroaded into the encounter (as in, something they could not avoid and had to confront). If they see the giant and still decide to engage.....well, sometimes you're the dog and sometime you're the hydrant ....

Absolutely..... Only clueless adventurers will undertake a adventure without first doing a little research. In the case of Rappan Athuk, there is a entire section about information that is available to adventurers about the location. So all the party has to do is at least 'try' to find out...

Saying 'Yes to 4E' when 4E is largely an unknown right now strikes me as....well, somewhat premature. The quote below sums up my sentiment about embracing 4E 'sight unseen'. "When you have reached the end of the road, then you can decide, whether to go to the left or to the right, to fire or...

Talk to the group as a whole and point out: 1. There is not right way or wrong way for preferences (I assume that is it class, feat, or PrC preferences the two are arguing about). It is personal opinion and opinion is not fact....it is just that - opinion. Discussing opinions is...

A hell of a good time and sleep deprivation.....

What I find interesting from the website is this: I interpret this that the movie is a 2 hour (approx) movie that is a pilot for a series of 45 minute episodes. Which means.....regardless of how the movie is intially marketed (movie theater, direct to DVD, whatever), the goal appears to be a...

Damn. In the QT, I can hear the audio but the screen is white throughout the trailer. Anyone else experiencing this or even better, does anyone have an idea what might be happening and a solution.

Yes, I got mine over a month ago. Odd that you haven't gotten yours. I would contact White Wolf customer service about that.

Now I will let my ignorance really show through.....who in the nine hells is James Mischler? Is he a WOTC employee in the RPG divison or a Hasbro 'suit'? If he is neither, then his 'prediction' is no more insightful than the several dozen opinions other posters have made in this thread.
