    Would you quit a game if....

    Indeed. I must admit, I am equally attached to my NPCs. I've had the same neutral night hag protagonist in all of my online games since 1995. She died a couple of times, she spent time as a spectral hag, and sometime later was a spirit hag in the region of dreams. Most recently she experienced...

    What type of adventuring do you prefer?

    As a DM, this is my preferred mode of roleplaying. For over four years, I have been running the same campaign, centered around the BBEG and her evil plans. The party has visited locales such as Turucambi Reef, the Sinking Isle, and the Jungle of Lost Ships as they battled minions, underlings...

    Would you quit a game if....

    Tell him it's fine... you found a way around it. Then, when the character dies, reincarnate him as a small forest animal. Alternately, bring the character back as a simulacrum, a magical being in total servitude to the wizard who created him. Remember that Conan and James Bond have been...

    Return of the Bard

    As awesome as the 1e bard was, especially if you used Unearthed Arcana in an unorthodox manner (Begin as a fighter, double-specialize in two weapons, change classes to thief and specialize as a thief/acrobat, then on to a bard under druidic tutoring, all the way to L23 with the expanded druid)...

    A Demon by any other name.....

    I am reminded of my dishwashers. We have two dishwashers (sort of necessary when one has 7 kids) and I tend to load them simultaneously. My wife often hears me mumbling prayers to Lord Gurgalurk, Master of All Dishwashers (Both Manual and Automatic), as I prepare a fitting sacrifice in the form...

    Help me design this potion!

    In my first online game, two PCs wanted to have children. One was male and one was female, so no problem there. But one was a tabaxi and the other a tran (a race from Alan Dean Foster novels). So, I devised the Median Mixture. When two individuals of opposite gender drink of it, they become...

    Help me design this potion!

    What happens if they misspell "poison" with an extra "s"? ;)

    Lousy Poker Face?

    Either decide the outcome randomly, or change course midstream. When they are certain of a course of action, go with the opposite. Alternately, wear a paper bag over your head. ;)

    Psionics - core or not?

    5e needs to establish a framework for alternative "magics" into which psionics, incarnum, warlocks, witches, binders and the like can be grouped. The crunch should be similar, to allow for seamless integration into digital assistants, but the fluff would be different for all.

    Clash of the Titans

    Sam Worthington couldn't act his way out of a paper bag... virtual or not. I enjoyed the Stygian witches in the first movie far more that then remake but both pale in comparison to the Gray Sisters upon which they were based: Graeae : "THE GRAIAI (or Graeae) were two, or some say three...

    What way of playing D&D is completely incompatible with your way?

    (You must spread some Experience Points around before giving it to Piratecat again.) On the nosey!

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic items in D&D Next: Remove them as PC dependant?

    I wholeheartedly agree, with the stipulation that the occasional "magic shop" offers more mundane item. Mommy Fortuna's Apothecary might stock unusual material components, while Fulgur the Glass Master might also dabble in alchemy.
