So I peaced out of DnD with the introduction of 3rd ed. I understand it did well, then 4th came out and bombed and now there is 5th ed. What has changed?

So I won't get into specific names, mostly due to memory, but I remember one guy who tried my game for the first time, and when he heard he could play giants he was like, "wait what", and quickly sat down to roll up his character. During game play he used a gruff, low bass sounding voice and...

This is exactly the context I mean it in. Excellent to hear.

I remember thunder rift!!!

Yes that is what I mean

I myself can think of a few products I would like to have for my system...Encyclopedia Magica from TSR, the full Undermountain maps and modules come to mind from Forgotten Realms DnD. Can you think of any product where the ideas and creativity of the product you would want to incorporate into...

Respectfully disagree. Life is full of consequences. Misjudging your parties abilities, pushing red buttons, taking on foes too great...yeah your fault. GM's actively trying to kill you seems ...weak? Imagine if in real life if it worked the same way. A roller coaster would kill every rider...

I think it shows a dedication to the GM, to put in that much effort and not be writing up a module is actually pretty dedicated.

That is highly commendable. I must ask, do the players reward you for all that effort?

Lol you may have a point.

While I do have weekly games, I too have a player who writes everything down. They are like tiny angels doing the GMs work.

wow 1600 pages of notes? My actual rule system, complete all in one book is 546 pages, and over 1.5 million characters. also at about 8-10 font.

8 steps, interesting, I see some overlap with my own way but with less prep. My only exception are encounters of consequence, ones that affect the story. Those I roll up, and put more time into.

A) are you focusing on the story , or what you are trying to do to players? B) That is what out of game time is for. You gather your thoughts, think about what happens. Surprises come in many forms. For ex. Last week my players were in a necro lair, finding a copy of Necro weekly, a self...

I am gonna take a shot at this. I use real life as a close guideline for when and when I shouldn't come down on players. HP at 0 is an obvious. Players not taking defensive skills, or skills to help them survive in another area that I am less forgiving of. If a player decides to hide in a small...

So I have run into all manner of GM's in my time. Some of them plan out every detail, pages of notes and info, details and writing, where as I myself am an ad libber. I go with the flow, nothing is too powerful, or unbalanced, I will wing it and it goes usually well. What are your thoughts ...

I love video games, but mods allow me to expand the game in ways I prefer.

Completely agree!

I am curious about what draws people to the gaming table? For some it is roleplaying, other mechanics and for me it is being creative. Whether it is as the GM and story teller, or as a player and creating spells or tech. How about you? What is the draw for you?

Main Group: One of our players quit and we had to explain his absence. The time bounty hunter that was hunting us, killed off that player in an ambush. The squad leader of the group then went postal, both cutting off the time bounty hunter off from his timeline, so he couldn't rewind time in...
