Clearly the player is making a conscious decision to play the PC a certain way. So it's not like he doesn't know what he's doing. I suggest discussing it with the player outside of the game. Tell him that you know he's playing a personality, and that's cool. But point out that the way he...

I wouldn't vote for the guy, but I do think he's three kinds of awesome for having Chuck Norris on his ad.

Speaking as one whose opinion is untainted by experience. ( :p ) Santa is a part of my family. We play santa even though the "kids" are all grown (I'm 26, my youngest brother is 20). We do it because it's fun and traditional. So I can't see myself not playing santa with my children if and...

It's been a dream of mine to write for the industry for ages. I was content to go slowly and try to lear as much about the game and the way writing an adventure works before jumping into the submission pool. Now I'm wondering if there will ever be a place in the industry for me at all, even...

A mild RBDM moment. Our group was running a big meatgrinder dungeon. In my level, the PCs were transported to faerie. The queen has the widget they need, and is interested in entertainment. The end, of course, is a huge arena. In the middle is a big box. The PCs are told that what's in...

Slept in, then worked a rediculously busy closing shift. But Saturday I did most of my shopping, and as of tonight, I've done all my shopping. Amazon, another website, meijer, and a small store near me, and thats it for all my family and friends that I buy for. Now, I do still have some stuff...

I have to work, but thankfully not until the closing shift. As a coffeeshop, we don't get a ton of extra traffic for merch (though starting now, our holiday gifts are going to move more quickly), but EVERYBODY needs a latte/caramel highrise/hundred shots of espresso in between sales, so we get...

Thanks for the thoughts. I knew it would be a long shot for anyone to know anything that fit what I was looking for. My group loves puzzles,w hich is great, but I'm pretty shoddy at devising riddles, which isn't so great. Time for plan B: Winging It!

Due to various emergencies, I've found myself at work 15 hours since Monday...and completely without the time to come up with the clues for the live action game I'm running this weekend. I need en worlders now more than ever before! The Setting: The PCs have stepped through a gateway and are...

I've come to the determination that if zombies happen, I should proably just kill myself and get it over with. There's no way I'd survive. --I'm not the hero or the badass. I have no skill with weapons and am not athletic, so I won't be able to kill them off in droves before I get chewed up...

This was just introduced into my game tonight. The DM ganked it from the module and had an NPC give it to us. I don't think it's going to turn out broken. Yes, it's an unlimited source of hit points. But at one point a round, it would take practically forever to heal up a whole party of...

I believe that the point here is not to pad out the treasure gained for this particular encounter, but rather general ideas of what to do with the carcass of a big dragon once it's slain. I second the draconomicon for the general armor/weapon/alchemical items. There was also a Dragon article...

Chicken and dumpling soup. I like the fluffy, biscuity drop dumplings instead of the rolled version.

I asked my mother this question once (she's a peds nurse) and she said that basically the womb is only meant to be a happy place for so long. Eventually the amniotic fluid starts to decrease and the placenta doesn't move nutrients as well. Of course there's also the fact that the more time...

Decide early if you want to allow Practiced Spellcaster. I would be very surprised if he doesn't want to take it. I think it's a grand feat, m'self. I also think it would be good to ask him if he has any special feat chains or PrCs in mind, so you can consider them early and let him know your...

Thanks! I think it would really appeal to folks who like mutants and masterminds. Especially if their games are anything like the one I played in, where we had a very tongue in cheek attitude about comic book tropes.

I have my own idea for a fluffy setting churning around in my head. I'd be pretty skeptical on the marketability of such a thing, but since I want it for my own games, there's no harm in writing it.

I found Goblins by clicking a link here, so maybe someone wil enjoy my comic as well. Sidekick Girl is about a sidekick and her trusty, if incompetant, superhero. It's still fairly new (we launched in May), but we've never missed an update, and we have a forum. Not that anyone here ever goes...

It's only a flesh wound...

Our evil game just started. There are four players. Three sessions in, and some conflict is already brewing. However, it's not because of evil alignments. It's because of stupid actions. One player has a tendancy to make choices that are very amusing to him, but not contributive to the...
