    DMs Brainstorming for Encounter - My Players Out!

    Interesting maddman. No, I don't believe fighting is a certainty, just a likelyhood. At least one of my players is a bit reckless and I'm thinking he'll charge, and the others follow. With your scenario, and considering that the players need to get back home, the soldiers would end up with the...

    DMs Brainstorming for Encounter - My Players Out!

    OK, so I have this adventure I'm running tomorrow. Its great, up to the very last encounter and I wanted to get some thoughts on how to set this up. Here's a quicky on the set up - the party has travelled far into the wilderness, mostly by boat, to reach a remote wizard's lodge now long...

    [IronDM] Iron DM Returns! Winner announced!

    Well carpe, this sure is proof of your skill as a judge. That's exactly what occured. The timing could have been little worse for me once the ingredients were posted. I had nearly three hours before we left for a field job in South Carolina, for which I would not be back until late the next day...

    Favorite Online Haunts for RPGs

    WHOA..you weren't kidding. Talk about some deep discounts. I just e-mailed them a question so now I can see how the customer service is. If they're as good as they say, they may get bumped into my top 3 list. RPG Store has yet to get back with me, so I'm thinking they're getting dropped off the...

    Favorite Online Haunts for RPGs

    Oh, I don't call to ask them about the actual books. Those I research at places like rpg.net and the very fine reviews here at enworld. But I do like to call to verify that an order was indeed placed or if something is back ordered, I like to call to see how long they think the wait is. I've had...

    Favorite Online Haunts for RPGs

    One of the big things for me is whether they have a number to contact them or not. If the only thing they have is an e-mail, then I usually go browse elsewhere. There's just something about being able to call up a live person and ask about this or that, ya' know? ;)

    Favorite Online Haunts for RPGs

    So what are your favorite online RPG stores? I try not to go Amazon if I can, although that 30% off with free shipping is sometimes too much to bear. But they have mostly mainstream stuff only. So, other than the titan that is Amazon, my favorite three are; 1.Sci-Fi Genre.com - local, if you...

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    DM Dinner?? Woo hoo! At the next one I'll be sure to stake my claim early. After picking up a single slice of pizza, and eating it leisurely whilst conversatin', I turned to see that the rest of the pizzas had turned ethereal....or been eaten. One or the other, I couldn't tell. With a scant 4...

    NC Game Day VII - April 23!

    Alrighty, I'll leave it up to our Master of Ceremonies then. With his blessing, I'll bring it. It runs 47 minutes, I just looked it up. This is all pending that I get clearance to go to the BBQ from the redheaded authority that rules my household with an iron grip. Did I mention she owns a 7'...

    BY the way, how many folks going to Rel's shing-diggity have seen The Gamers? http://gamers.deadgentlemen.com/ Its a quintessential movie for the D&D buff. Most likely all the folks going have seen it. But if not, I recently was able to get a copy from a friend and could bring it friday if I...

    Ole Time BBQ eh? That's just up the street from where I work. I fact, our secretary use to work there quite a bit and helps with catering sometimes. Lillian, or simply Lil to friends. Either way, good choice on Ole Time. They are tops in Raleigh for BBQ.:lol:

    Describe your most humiliating defeat

    RECON/Palladium Fantasy This was in high school, many many moons ago when the gaming was fast and furious. My players were RECON characters, vietnam era soldiers, and I wasn't quite as meticulate checking their character sheets as I have learned to be nowadays. They were transported into the...

    As a DM, how would you catch...

    Hrmm..that would present a problem. Druid is the least used class by my players, while ranger gets used quite often, so I don't know much about them. Still, hiring rangers to track someone down, as futile as it might be, would seem to me the most logical next step prior to hiring expensive seers...
