I think you should talk to the dm, and that you have every right to be upset. In my games, when I use xp, if a character dies they can make a new character at 2 levels below the character that died, and have the "recommended amount of gold" for that level to buy items. After that, they gain xp...

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into it. I keep hearing about Kingmaker but haven't checked it out yet. Also, I'm glad I sound like I'm an experienced GM, I'll have been playing tabletop games for 2 years this fall and have only been gm-ing for about a year...mostly I feel like I'm flailing...

Well I was planning on starting in a large town/small city with quests there and in the surrounding towns less than a week a way, and after they've exhausted there I should be able to guide them to a large city. Thanks for the advice of trying to stay urban, it'll help alot. I would give you...

In the coming month or two, my gaming group will finish our current d20 future game, and I am beginning the crafting process of what will be the first sandbox style game my group has done. In this pre-planning phase, I went over the core classes (I only have the core rulebook atm, but might buy...

189) The Zapper. The wielder of this blade may at will make it start glowing a bright electric blue, equivalent in brightness to a torch. The blade vibrates softly in the wielder's hand, and emits a slight buzzing noise. Insects are attracted to the blade, and are annihilated by contact with it...

The BBEG. All of my compelling ones that my players actually like they end up talking to instead of killing, or in the fight they layer on the cheese to win (i.e. Bard dominates, then BBEG's hands are covered in Sovereign glue while the barbarian that dumped most everything into strength holds...

After obsessing over this for awhile I came up with the idea of them having to go and actually forge alliances and trade agreements now. This would give me time to come up with something else action oriented while still giving them something for their characters to do that feels natural to the...

Thanks, all of those are good and I will probably use several :)

So, I'm running a d20 Future game and I was approaching what I was expecting to be the end of a short campaign (6 months) and my players still want more. They have a large starships, several smaller ones, and own a corporation quickly growing and making waves throughout their sector. They've had...

Unfortunately octogon grids don't quiet work...... :( But, I've used hexes for space combat in Alternity, and it works amazingly. Haven't tried it with any other game or combat type though.

It might not just be the fear of mortality, but a desire for power. Maybe he discovered some artifact that isn't much on its own but whispers about a tome or something of great power that a lich owned. Or maybe it is a desire for knowledge, in one of my games we came in contact with a wizard...

Thanks! Didn't know about the SRD :eek:

I'm sorry if I just overlooked it, but I just got my core rules book and in the magic items section it mentions different city sizes, but I don't know how many people go in those cities. I was just wondering if a person could either tell me how many people approximately live in each town size...

In my campaign world only humans can mate with other races, part of how they were made. And these offspring breed true. This mechanic let me explain many of the worlds races without having to give them lengthy origins. Also, human hybrids can mate, and this usually makes either 1) A human, 2)...

I am interested in this thread.

I'd put it in Wis in 4e, become a Bug-Bear Barbarian, and roleplay walking into walls and being completely gullible, but when told I'd been tricked I'd fly into a rage and smash things.

But for all that you are also ignoring the flavor that is already in their text. "KOBOLDS REVERE DRAGONS and tend to dwell in and around places where dragons are known to lair. They skulk in the darkness, hiding from stronger foes and swarming to overwhelm weaker ones. Kobolds are cowardly and...

I believe is a Pulp Fiction Reference.

I agree with Kitchen-sink, but everything has its place. First, the only races with much power and many settlements are my worlds first races [Dragons (which have their own island maybe 1.5x Greenland's size), Elves, Dwarves, Giants, and Goblinoids], and Humans. Everything else is either a mix...

My group must be very odd. Across all games we've run, they've shied from combat. This went as far as trying to get an audience with what was supposed to be the BBEG to discern whether or not he was truly evil, and then discovering he "just wanted to gain immortality to continue studying magic"...
