    A Cool Story of New D&D Players

    nope, she had a plush dice since she was old enough to enjoy stuffed toys and always wanted to play with my ACTUAL dice. she still loves gaming cards and dice and pretends to be playing games with the occational few I let her play with.

    Do you "save" the PCs?

    a part of being a good RPG'er is knowing when to RUN AWAY! I rarely pull punches, but depending on the battle they die in, there are alternatives to death as long as the whole party isnt at -10. In Illithid battles for instance, the illithid may be full and save the PC's for leftovers, but if...

    Who prefers a human-centric campaign?

    I prefer a human centric campaign, but i feel like that is what grounds the story in realism and makes the fantasy elements truly seem special. If everyone is playing a race that is bizaar, nothing grounds the setting in realism and so accomplishments of that character can be chocked up to...

    Trying to get the players all starting in the same place believably

    This sounds like a great idea. i think ill give this a shot. It will also help the players to remember each others' characters' names as this is something that gets forgotten ALOT at my table...once my wife's character hit level 4 (all the way from L-1) with a blank Name:______ field on her...

    Do you like rolling?

    I am a little skimpy on take 20, but it has its place. otherwise players will just roll and roll and roll over and over again untill they get the # they need. take 20 was designed to do away with this. Take 10 I am less of a fan of, but there is the occational situation when I'll allow it...

    Trying to get the players all starting in the same place believably

    thats likely the best idea..i'll give that a shot this time around. the player roster is changing a bit this time too so maybe the 2 new guys will bring some much needed motivation to the party Thanks all, Shoe

    Trying to get the players all starting in the same place believably

    this is likely the root of at least SOME of the problem...they are almost all Neutral or Chaotic Neutral...most of them have a hard time with "Good" characters and Lawful is almost 100% out of the question... I don't allow evil characters, but they rarely play characters that care about much...

    Trying to get the players all starting in the same place believably

    All of the players tend to look to me for a reason...I guess I should have them all come up with why they know each other. With mixed races this gets to be more difficult, however we ususally just start playing the first session with characters that were made beforehand. Maybe I should do the...

    Trying to get the players all starting in the same place believably

    Greetings all, I have been DM'ing for around 15 years and consider myself to be pretty good at it. I always find myself with the same problem right before begining a new campaign; How do i get all my players to begin the campaign cooperating? I do not restrict Alignment/race/class other than...
