I thought SummonedMonster had to stay where he was put? Eh, well, you live and learn.

Yeah, but if he survives the battle think of the child support payments.

Thanks. Didn't mean to make fun of that session or anything. It was very dramatic, but my sense of humour sneaks up on my brain when I'm tired and takes it over. Rereading it now I can see how intense it must of been, especially the threat to Cadrienne and Tasha. Poor Cadrienne, waking up...

You should've seen the "Long Threads" thread over in Meta. Now that was a thread that rambled on and on and on...

Each PC carries their personal gear (bedrolls, healer's kits, etc) in their backpacks. Our wizard keeps extra rations, the tent, fodder etc in his bag of holding. Our dwarf barbarian carries the rest. We rarely use horses because we go too many places where you either can't take a horse or...

Do you have a Wal-Mart? They carry them too and they're cheaper than Radio Shack.

It's a challenge dealing with characters motivated by self-interest and not the greater good. They won't transport that artifact just cause somebody asked them nicely, and might even try to take it for their own purposes. Appealing to their greed might work, by offering a generous reward or...

The DM and I always host the game. We provide coffee/tea, veggie sticks and popcorn. Sometimes we order pizza and anybody without cash gets covered. Occasionally I'll make chili, spaghetti or some other no-fuss meal. The other players usually bring the pop and some chips. One guy even...

Re: Re Was that as bad as my Dm, who misread revile as revere? "Oh, sorry, the Druids of Khirdet aren't inviting you over for dinner, you are dinner. Sorry, guess you just ran into some renegades earlier. Yeah, renegades, that's it.":rolleyes: :)

Y'know, that sounds like it was a tense session to play, but it reads like a DoD Comedy Hour. Look at Surfin' Dilly and his Pure Dumb Luck. Watch the DoD try to find blunt object for smashy-smashy purposes. Listen in as Alix Taunts Mirata a Second Time. Maybe it's just me or maybe it's just...

Glad to hear the party came through in as good a shape as they did. A little strategy goes a long way. It's a good suggestion to give players with dead/incapacitated PCs something to do. I ended up sitting on my hands for nearly an hour one session because my cleric failed a will save for the...

Wish I'd looked at this thread earlier. I doubt Clangeddin views dragging one's comrades in arms to their deaths just because you're tired of an enemy to be a good thing. A godly vision of the perils of impatience and arrogance might have influenced the hothead. Or the cleric of Heironeous...

A cairn to a forgotten hero, when people sleep beside it something strange happens. If religion is big in your campaign, have outposts run by militant missionaries. Spreading civilazation and the gospel. Refugee camps. "Borrow" the Glittering Caves of Aglarond. A valley that's inhabited by...

Start things off with a bang. Literally. Play in real time. If they have one hour before the bomb goes off/basement floods/candles burn out, set a timer. When it goes off, they'd better be done. It makes for a really intense experience. Seeing the minutes tick away can get the adrenaline...

Our party wizard polymorphs into a pixie or a raven when he's scouting (his familiar's a raven, who looks at a pair of birds?). He's turned into a troll and a hill giant for fighting, we've faced barbarians in both flavas. And a silver dragon is useful for flying the decapitated paladin and...

My last group was 5-7 players. We had to be down 2 or more players before we'd cancel the session and play board games instead. If you didn't show, your character was run by someone else and got half xp. A lot of absences can screw things up. I only missed half a session in over 2 years...

And one for Jenny and the wimp shh-thunk.:) Quoting Canadian comedy troupes, there's a way to keep a thread going!

Jog my memory, please. When was the last time the Defenders tossed a demon into Mount Celestia? I'm almost sorry the marilith didn't try to turn Nolin into a shishkebab. Everybody's favourite flamin' bard would have literally blown up in her face.

Ed Gruberman, you must learn patience.

You too shall be honoured to learn a lesson, novice. Boot to the head.
