    [Green Ronin] Unholy Warrior's Handbook art preview

    Nah, just ask Pirate Cat's pc's. They'll all tell you that truely evil villians use babies strapped to their chest and back. :eek:

    (RANT) (longish) A player wishes to drop

    Re: On bringing in new PCs Actually, the reason I have this house rule is to keep players from hopping form PC to PC because of the way I was running this campaign. I asked them all to think long and hard before we started what they'd like to play. I wanted the characters at a lower level to...

    HELP MY PLAyERs are put of control

    Another thing is the group may just need a break. Summer is finally here and they may just need to burn off some of the pent up energy. You might want to suggest instead of gaming this Friday night we all go out as a group and catch a movie, go to the beach, do the bar thing. What ever it is you...

    (RANT) (longish) A player wishes to drop

    I agree, but since her wonderful gaming opputunity that she left for was an epic campaign I think it's what she enjoys. That, and the fact that it was an evil campaign which I refuse to run. There are somethings that I'm uncomfortable with, evil PC's are one of them. I made that very clear right...

    How many dice do you own?

    (Ahem) As the DM I feel it's my responsibility to have enough to use as spares for players when they feel the urgent need to microwave one for rolling low. So about 50 or so. (Shh, don't tell my wife, but I actually just have to have them!) :D

    (RANT) (longish) A player wishes to drop

    :eek: Doc that's actually pretty funny. Her favorite game system is actually vampire and the storyteller system in general! Maybe that should have tipped me off that there would be angst coming my way at some point in the future. ;) This thread is actually making me feel a little better about...

    (RANT) (longish) A player wishes to drop

    Thanks, for the advice. As long as I can talk somebody else into DMing I'm seriously going to try this. One of the folks has been leading us around with talk of Shadow Run for over a year. It may be time for him to put his money where his mouth is so to speak. If he's willing I'll ask him to run...

    Right now, the rain is falling.

    Here in Michigan we've gone from the 60' to the 80's and 90's almost over night. The rain has at least finally let up here. It's the end of June and it's just this weekend warming up enough to put the soft top on my Jeep and open the pool. Work. Yeah. :D

    (RANT) (longish) A player wishes to drop

    Wow, step away to work on a couple of computers and I come back to lots of wonderful advice. Thank you all. I’ll try to address some of the comments here. KitanaVorr The "not knowing the rules" though is something that you shouldn't penalize her for. Personally I find it distracting to...

    (RANT) (longish) A player wishes to drop

    I received a call last week from one of my players. She was calling to tell me that she would no longer be gaming with us. When I asked why she told me that she was tired of being patronized by the group and how nobody respected her abilities as a gamer. (sigh) The thing is, she’s right, up to...

    What do your players do when they're getting their items enhanced?

    Mine whine to the DM about why is it going to take so long, and how come I can't have this sword enchanted to +3, with this uber power in anything less than a month. Whine whine whine. Because the world isn't perfect, the npc has a "life" and because I'm the DM and I said so! Sorry. A little...

    How to Be An Effective Angry Gamer

    Okay, Okay! I get it! I'll be 5 minutes early next time, and I'll have my character sheet pinned to my chest, and I'll bring a keg of Dew next gaming session! :D I have seen the errors of my ways! ;) -Dave

    What's the most rat bastard thing you've ever done as a DM?

    Remembered another one. Same campaign, the characters had recovered the necromantic artifact they had been sent to find by the cities Cardinal. During the recovery of the artifact, one of their beloved NPC's sacrificed himself so the group could flee the evil machine priest. Artifact and...

    What's the most rat bastard thing you've ever done as a DM?

    Most recently? That would have to be the return of thier "partner". Qual'Pachim is a half dragon (black) elf that was the champion of a long dead, corrupted elven king. Long story short the characters released him from his imprisonment and teamed up with him to restore the elven homeland. The...

    Post your Big Bads...

    Qual'Pachim: Half-Dragon (black) elf, psionic warrior, he's the former champion of the corrupted king of the elven court. When the elves lost their homeland he, and the rest of the kings body gaurd, were imprisoned in a pocket dimension. Qual remained trapped there for 500 years, until the PC's...

    What do you think of one min per level spells?

    Hmm, I have to say that I agree with those that say I don't care for that change. At 1 hour per level it makes it a useful second level spell for a low level group to cast to buff up the fighers strength, or con. It also is a lfie saver for low level mages to boost their possilbe poor...

    Thanks for the information!!!

    Anybody have any advice on running an Exalted campaign?

    Anime and Wuxia? Hmm, not quite what I thought it was with the little I had dug up. Of course I'd have a blast with it. :p But I'm not sure my players would. So they would essentially be playing demigods. Sounds very Dragonball Z to me. But with a bunch of villians that could be a lot darker...

    Anybody have any advice on running an Exalted campaign?

    We interrupt this thread for an important question. Hey guy's. Sorry to hi-jack this, but I've got a question I hope y'all can answer. What is the premise of exalted anyway? I've been trying to find some info on it because I'm searching for something new to run. What is exalted all about...
