Stand By ME - The events don't directly reflect my childhood but close, the film, like the book really captures what it is like to be a boy around the age of 12. A film I could watch 100 times Shawshank Redemption - Some of the best characterization ever put to film

I have not read the thread, but I will say Where the Red Fern Grows Of Mice & Men Huckleberry Finn - I laugh to tears in several scenes

Two Words - Black Guard Let the streets run red with the blood of those who try to arrest me.

I don't see a point with mapping out a dungeon. If the players want to go back to a specific spot on a map, I just let them, or if it is a maze, they make int checks. I mean, IRL, you note where you go by how it looks and memory, and in a game, you don't have that ability, you can only go by...

Max HP @ 1st lvl Roll for all other levels, any roll less than half max counts as half max. IMO, HP are too valuable to sucumb to total randomness, a few bad rolls can devastate almost any character.

Think about what you are going to do before it is your turn. If you ever get a chance, read the Amber Diceless RPG rules, they will help improve just about any gamer.

Sign me up for Against the Giants and Harry Potter.

The problem w/ SW and LotR worlds is that game companies can only publish what they get permission for and that usually equals only what is in the books and movies. Since the story in the books and or movies is only a snap shot of the world as a whole and there is already an epic struggle going...

REaper has 2 awesome figs of dwarves on bears

I have to think of books by Genre because each has such different targets. i think I have forgotten more book titles than i remember and so many of them excellent. As far as fantasy books go I have to go with the Magician series as they started the flame for me. The Chronicles of Amber are a...

People might have other interests. When I am not DMing, I do not thing of my D&D game except on the night of the game. I will keep the stats current, but we all have lives outside of the game. For some, it will be multiple games, or video games, or kids, movies, sports, painting etc.

This is a pretty nice list. I liked the first few posts discussing NPC types that can add depth to the town. Don't put too much effort into it unless you plan on the PCS making their future here for a while. It would not be a bad idea to quickly offer or make available for them to earn a...

To me it sounds like to many people the game has become an obsession. Expanding ones horizons and looking for change is almost always a good thing, it is good for the mind and spirit and in this case body. I will admit, I am not a hardcore gamer, but I am glad I did not marry a gamer because...

Many of my favorite gaming memories are with very shoddy home made mechanics, so I will agree. To me, gaming is about the people at the table, which is why it is so hard to find a good group.

I have struggled with the balance of magic in a campaign world for many years. I wanted the intergration of magic into society to make sense but became frustrated while trying to intergrate it, then I read Harry Potter and all that changed. I now use mages as a seperate culture that band...

I have to agree with a poster above that this is no different than a fighter always attacking with his sword, which is usually doing more damage than mm, or a ranged based fighter using a bow. MM may be boring, but it is a side effect of the D&D magic system. With memorization, a wizard will...

Add Black Arrow to the lists above

IMO, all successful mystery and thriller authors fall into trends, my enjoyment of the author just depends on my tolerence for the trends. Harry Potter books follow a formula and Rowling uses the same literary/plot devices in her books, but I still enjoy them, even though if I spend time over...
