    Scary House Plot Idea (spoiler for my group, don't read)

    You think I'm relying on what will happen ? Then you got me wrong. I sent the PCs to the house with one of them having the task to investigate paranormal activity. Ok, I have a background story about what happened and who was invovled. When entering the house the witch will through magical...

    I opened up a thread concerning the plot over here http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=2840307#post2840307 So if you want to discuss the plot with me, just go ahead. Your idea is well let's call it confusing to me and has no connection to my primal plot. ^^ I think I'm pretty much done...

    Yeah I always played with the thought of buying a prewritten adventure but usually they are either only available online (got no credit card - can't do this download buying stuff) or I'm pretty sure that at least one of my players already read it. If you can give a link to a site with free...

    Yeah I think you're right. It's just one of my flaws that I get frustrated way to quick. Earlier this evening I was sitting around and thinking about some advice and the upcoming initial quest you're gonna have. I did what Piratcat posted earlier and just wrote down some notes about the scene...

    "Victory" - Do you know it ?

    Yeah I'm german. The game is a viking style stategy game where you have to build farms and pay your soldiers with milk. As far as I can recall it includes a strategic map similar to early C&C or Rise of Nations where you have to choose your next mission. The version I had was a DOS Version...

    Well there are no Cons around here and yes they need a kick in the ass. I can't stand this whole "what d'you like" "dunno" anymore. I know that 2 players like very difficult combat. So what, can't do much with that. That's about all I know about their style. Everything seems quite random to me...

    Lost, that's exactly what I'm planning to do. If I talk straight to my players then I'm sure that I will get a good answer from everyone. It seems to me that most of them (including me) don't really know their style of playing yet. But since we have a decent gaming history, it's not difficult...

    "Victory" - Do you know it ?

    Hi, years ago, there was a game called "Victory", it was a medieavel/viking kind of game and I wonder if anybody around here knows where to find it. As far as I recall it was DOS und is from the 80, maybe early 90s. I tried ebay and several internet resources (alltheweb, google, abandonia and...

    Ok I think we have a missunderstanding here. First of all it's not like gaming is hard work for me. I just have a definite problem when it comes to preparing game sessions. My player told me that I focused to much on detailed mapping and the like which have no real gaming impact. He's definately...

    I just can't focus

    Good news, I just had a serious talk with one of my players. He told me that because of my attitude (I'm usually always tired) I set an atmosphere that had no chance of developement at all. There was no reason to be excited about what would happen next. It has always been a problem to me that I...

    Well "next weekend" is not some kind of deadline but I want to start soon. I am really looking forward to GMing again. Improvisation is a must in this campaign because I got no idea how my players will handle the situation. Will they try to run away or solve the puzzle ? I always want to have a...

    Quote: Tell one of them to run an adventure for a change. Funny thing is: 5 Players/4 DMs All of us like to spend our time playing D&D/D20modern and a friend of mine (Gold Roger) is just running a campaign in his own homebrew setting (wants to drop, dunno why). We never really get a break...

    I just can't focus

    Well yeah, talking to the players is very basic for prep, BUT we, as a group of 5 people playing for a about 2 years together, never really have defined ideas about gaming. Maybe it's because there are no actual other roleplaying groups/styles around. What I encountered lately when mastering...

    Hm ok this sounds good. Has anybody read Lullaby over here ? I wanted to use a plot as detailed in this book but a hunt for the book of shadows (a book containing a lot, if not all spells) But now I think I will just drag the group into three simple Horror adventures that don't have a...

    Hi folks, I got a serious problem when it comes to preparing my sessions. It's not like I don't want to prepare but the moment I pick up a piece of paper to write something down I'm like "meeeh, maybe tomorrow". I have some nice ideas for my Horror game coming up but when I need to develop the...

    Looking for Horror supplement/sourcebook

    You know, the first time I read dork tower I was like "We need a gaming store here.". But I think that's not gonna happen, though there are enough players here. PS.: crunch or fluff ? €dit: I just got the HoH and it's fantastic ! It got the advice I was looking for about setting the mood...

    Looking for Horror supplement/sourcebook

    Well the problem is that there are actually no local gamestores, there's like games workshop but they only have miniatures and Warhammer stuff. The next gaming store I know is in Hamburg which is way to far, so I have to order over the internet
