    Lighthearted character names?

    in D&D/d20 - silly names are ok, since I don't take the game serious anyway in GURPS4e (outside of Discworld or IOU) - no way!

    World's Largest Graveyard

    Yesterday Lord Altan, the Avalonian warmage (L4) from Valon, fell victim to the firetrap at A46 [powered up to 4d4 damage due to a large party of mostly level 4 PCs]. He'd be still alive, if it weren't for the fact that he had only 3 hp at the time, *and* for the flaw that caused him to react...

    Half Ogre level adj. increase

    well, my players have build a few PCs for our upcoming WLD campaign using the half-ogre from Savage Species - and I sure will not force the extra level adjustment upon them, just because WotC changed their collective mind again. IMHO "Large" alone is such a disadvantage in most campaigns that...

    Hit point generation methods

    I've always used this method (for D&D 3.x): d4 minimum value of 1 d6 minimum value of 2 ... .. d12 minimum value of 5 ...seems to work great at all levels ;)

    World's Largest Dungeon in actual play [Spoilers!]

    well, I'll be running the WLD after Xmas (background: Wilderlands + CSIO [+ maybe Blackmoor]) - so, after reading about various PC deaths within the first area, I'm wondering: How do you handle the introduction of replacement characters in the WLD? Prisoners? Survivors of other parties? No...

    What do you think is the best campaign setting?

    1. Midnight - but only if you can handle the dark mood! 2. Dawnforge 3. Wilderlands (+Citystate+Blackmoor+WLD= really great old school gaming!) 4. Dragonstar - for a great sf/fantasy crossover setting

    Homebrew vs. Published settings

    I use homebrews almost exclusively - except when I'm GMing D&D3.X. It's too much work and not enough fun to build a D&D world from scratch... My D&D favorites: Dawnforge Scarred Lands Midnight (but this works much better with GURPS!) (Since the appearance of GURPS4 I've stopped GMing...
