    D&D 5E (2014) Treasure...?

    Instead of worrying about how much gold should be there depending on the level of the PCs I just give the gold that I feel the monsters should have.

    Pathfinder 1E Is Golarion an "evolving" setting, or is it static?

    It has to be static. If the official Pathfinder setting closes the world wound and has books that reflect that those are worthless to everyone who has never run that AP.

    D&D 5E (2014) Wotc needs to clean up retail shelves

    Actually with the right coupons and discounts I find that I can get books at B&N cheaper then Amazon and that's with B&N charging me tax.

    D&D 5E (2014) Raise your hand if your mom...

    I got the D&D box set when I was 7 from Santa. Even though I was raised in a very strict Catholic household they never had any issues with my playing D&D.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tying PC Backgrounds Together

    What I do is explain the start of the adventure and where the PCs are. I then tell them to explain to the group why their character is there and how they all know each other. As DM I have enough to do so decisions that involve the player characters I like to leave to them.

    D&D 5E (2014) as a new DM, how do I handle a group of wanna be thieves?

    Talk to the group out of game. If this is the type of characters and game they want then yes hit them with the consequences of their actions. But make sure it is what the players want. It is obvious DM and players are not on the same page and playing the same game so talk to them and get that...

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    She is like 15 so I'm not sure calling her eye candy is appropriate. I like them because of this. Its showing us a character that will become important later.

    D&D 5E (2014) We are betting a LOT on the DMG.... will it deliver?

    I'm pleased that want I want the DMG to be is mostly not on that list because that list is a lot of random things that should not be in the DMG.

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    I get what you are saying we just have different opinions on what makes a destination. Gordon fighting a good fight against corruption and never fully succeeded I am fine with. He will clean up some gangs to make room for the new gangs that we know are coming like Penguin's gang. He can make a...

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    But it is true with a prequel. We know how this story ends. They set up a lot of characters some we know others that are new. It is going to be interesting to see how those characters get to where they are going. If that is not of interest to you then save yourself the heart ache and just don't...

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    This show is not about the destination it is about the journey.

    GOTHAM Gets Official Full Series Order at Fox

    There was a a lot crammed into that pilot. I liked most of it. Poison Ivy was not that great, but She who will be Catwoman and Penguin were very good. I like the setting and noir feel. I like that Gordon is a Paladin in a place filled with corruption. It has a lot of potential to be good and bad.

    D&D 5E (2014) Tome Pact is dicey

    This sounds like an issue with the DM more then the class. As DM I can screw over any character I want to so it is not limited to just these guys. I get what your saying but don't blame the class when its the DM that is causing the potential problems.

    That's a new meaning for Life Insurance.

    This Weekend @ The BoxOffice: 2014_Sep.22

    Maze runner was pretty good. It stuck pretty close to the book for good and bad.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e death and consequences?

    Players love it when it works for them but when they have to kill the bad guy for the 100th time it gets kind of old.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5e death and consequences?

    One of the best little things to come out of 3pp 3e books was a little cult that felt anyone that was raised or resurrected was the most nefarious of undead. They had magic that could detect someone that was raised and their turning ability could work on them. I thought it was a great idea and I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Exhaustion XXXploitz!!!

    The answer is simple. We capture the boss and force him to march! Or we train him as a barbarian and tell him puns till he rages.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hell leadership change.

    If it was easy to do I'm sure people would do it. As Piratecat said the Time of Troubles was just horrible. Running those modules was the last thing I ever did with the Forgotten Realms. But just because it has been done bad in the past doesn't mean we should stop trying. I prefer to see people...

    D&D 5E (2014) Hell leadership change.

    Those poor leaders of the lower planes. They much dread the coming of a new edition since it always seems that something happens to them in between editions. It would be a lot cooler if these changes happened in an adventure or in a way that PCs could interact with the change and have it be more...
