Xp!! Well I guess I just maxed my XP giving abilities, but the point is, everybody loves to get XP! Its like the most popular new feature on these boards. I totally get people not wanting to keep track of yet another number. When I DM I cheat it so they more or less level up every session...

This This. I get more session write-ups and artwork from my players when I give out XP. People like points. Hell, we give each other XP on Enworld!

Great stories. This is the best of Enworld. Thanks PC and Co.! Keep it coming with the good stuff!

Despite the drama, there's some interesting points brought up. What's the difference between a "meter" and a timeline? I think the main difference is in how it effects resources management. By that I mean, when and how oftern do the part rest and get their hps, spells etc back? A timeline...

Showed it to my gal tonight. I think it actually piqued her curiosity for the first time... On second viewing, what a great episode. It really has it all. Chevy Chase is a great villain.

"Oh no! It's the Deathdealer!"

Hah! I own that! Bought it at the mall WAY back when! It had great forms to fill out and make an incredibly complicated adventure. I used to sit and roll the percentiles for hours and hours. I understand that timelines are nothing new. I guess the intriguing element to me is to have a sort...

Here's what I've come up with for a potential adventure. I realize that what I have created is more of a timeline than a variable meter. I wonder if a broader scope would allow more variation. A DM could draw out element by having columns two and three advance one day, and columns one and...

...like described here and below? Critical Hits Podcast I enjoyed this interview. I was particularly interested the application of the 5x5 "Machination Meter". The 5x5 tool seems to be a happy medium between sandbox and plot-driven styles, but Davethegames' recent write up of his Temple of...

In my game Indo never made it too shore. The party took him out in the water. Swimming rules are weird.

Yeah, I thought so to. It was a pretty sophisticated take. D&D is rad. Its also pretty strange.

I have to say they really packed those 20 minutes with a lotta of gaming goodness. It was kinda rad that it went right into the stereotypes of gamers and right on through to some well endowed roleplaying. And the DM was great. Hilarious. Hulu - Community: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons -...

I miss the days when people discussed Dungeon adventures. People have stopped reporting on their play of the modules, and that's too bad because its one of the nice bits of common ground for these forums, at least on the DM's side. From my skim of the module, I like that the villain is...

(crossposted from myrpgame.com) I agree with the split of standard and dramatic battles. My DM, Robtheman, tried out these skirmish rules (see link below) recently and we enjoyed it, working through a gridless series of narrative encounters before squaring off for a tactical battle at the...

I DMed a group up to 13th in the War of the Burning Sky.

The game went really well! Robtheman used my skirmish rules and we managed to sneak up a difficult climb, rescue our shield bearer, distract and slay some guards, escape and then poison the entire encampment of orcs. All this took place using gridless abstracted resolution mechanics, including...

Further thoughts: I think the groups may be fine with a less fiddly approach to combat, though that may just be my bias. I enjoy tactics, but I try to restrain myself from offering tactical suggestions to othes(not always successfully, my Will is low) It makes me think of secondary school...

Here is the link. My version came after reading all the other ideas.

I love these threads the most. Theres always some new little bit I glean. The point above about the grid resonates with me. A lot of slow play in combat seems to come not from lack of rules knowledge but too much, with players second guessin each other. No grid eleminates that. My skirmish rules...

Hey ya'll. I'm a newcomer to Rob's campaign but an old hand at D&D. Rob has some great ideas, and I've definitely been wanting to explore more in his campaign world! Wolverhampton the 7th Wanderer will regain his keep! Some of my ideas are summed up in my lil blog: Neradia, where I wrote up...
