I remember seeing someone talk about running for pay just in the last week or so, talking about running a game at a rec center. I recall one of the kids could only come up with the name Eminem, and a couple others just wanted to act like gangers. For some reason I want to say it was Teflon...

I always like Millennium's End by Chameleon Eclectic (sadly out of print, but I think one of the local game stores has a couple new copies tucked away) and its overlay system, it rolls accuracy, range, cover, target body position, called shots, and to-hit location all into one mechanic. Damage...

I worked retail for many years, one of the first customer service things you learn is to greet the customer as soon as they arrive and offer you assistance. I've lost count of the number of times I've said "Hi! Is there anything I can help you find? Well if you have any questions, feel free to...

Well, given that I've heard they have big ads in the back of the core books telling people to go to www.dndinsider.com for a free 10 day trial, I was hoping there would be something to try. Advertising something that isn't available can be a big turn-off for some people. Sort of like seeing an...

I'm not surprised that DDI isn't completed on Launch Day. I am suprised that it is so far behind that they couldn't launch any part of it on Launch Day. I'm hoping that they are building the various components in a very loosely coupled fashion, so new components can be added and existing...

I like the idea of giving milestones something extra, my only thing would be to make sure you don't step on anyone's toes in the process. For example, allowing a super action point to cause an enemy to reroll and attack may discourage players from playing halflings, since anyone can use a SAP...

I've been waiting on the printable sheets too. I'm planning on getting copies made instead, but the copy place might hassle me since WotC also didn't bother to put a "permission granted to photocopy for personal use" disclaimer on them.

My group usually doesn't have any problem with this. You only have a chance to hit the wrong target with ranged attacks, there is no chance to hit the wrong target with melee, and the participants in the grapple are denied their dex, setting them up well for sneak attacks. The grappler in my...

Usually multiple times per combat encounter. One of the players in my current RHoD campaign is playing a half-giant Psi Warrior/Monk grapple specialist. Improved Grapple, Powerful Build, Expansion, and Grip of Iron combine to give him an absolutely ludicris grapple bonus (north of +20 at ECL7)...

I used to do a 1-2 minute "when last we saw our hapless adventurers" blurb at the start of each session. In my latest campaign, I've been posting more detailed session recaps on a wiki site I set up for the campaign. (http://paulrhod.wikidot.com/sessions)

I'm trying to figure out if my community supporter account expired. When I go to Support the Site > Community Supporter Accounts, I get an error message:

Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil - Started it, planned to run it as a marathon gaming weekend, ended at the start of the CRM. Several in the group were from out of town, so never picked it back up. Greyhawk Ruins - Started it a few times, even converted parts of it for side treks in a 3e...

I just saw this link this morning and immediately thought of the game table use. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2704,2242734,00.asp A projector the size of an iPod, it looks like just about anyone could rig a vertical mount over a table for it, and with the throws mentioned in the article...

I like that they included the part about monsters with a BAB high enough to qualify for multiple attacks can make a grapple attempt for each attack its BAB would allow, but there is no mention of any penalty for the iterative attacks (the normal -5 on the second attack, -10 on the third, etc.)...

And it is important for the programmer to know exactly how the random number generator works if you use date/time as a seed. A random number generator (RNG) will always generate the same sequence of random numbers from a given seed. If you initialze the RNG using the date time on every single...

Here is where this interpretation of the rules breaks down for me. Take the following situation: Colossal Red Dragon is circling a keep blasting it with its fire breath every chance it gets. The keep is in a clear area. Standing 2000' away is a L20 wizard with Alertness, Skill Focus(Spot)...

First off, I apologize to the OP for getting off topic in my previous post. Let me make sure I understand the situation correctly: A character with darkvision is observing a pirate ship using a spyglass. The pirate ship has a lantern on deck. Here is how I would rule if it were my game: The...

Actually, it is easy to see something beyond 300' with a +10 spot. Creatures larger than Medium have a penalty to hide (up to -16 for colossal creatures) and creatures moving have a penalty to hide (up to -20 for running or attacking). So a Colossal dragon with a 10 dex and no ranks in hide...

I want to get a site up, but I haven't convinced myself to pony up the cash for the features I want. I'd like to have a messageboard, polls, a file download section and a wiki to use as an encyclopedia of the campaign. As is, I keep my house rules, session journal, and all my personal campaign...

I have heard that automotive Brake Cleaner can remove marker stains (wet erase or permanant) from a battlemat, but I haven't tried it. I wouldn't be surprised if it could remove the printed grid lines though. I have a Chessex mat that is stained with dry erase and I think I have a can of...
