    What do you do with a cheating player!

    Ive got a player like this. He uses the tiny dice with no color lettering so noone can tell what he is rolling. He's used cans and such on the table to block folks view from his roll. Its not just rolls however. He also uses things like the variable feats (Power Attack and Expertise) to keep...

    As a DM do you secretly enjoy the obnoxious player who pisses everyone else off?

    If the players are having fun and the guy is not intentionally trying to screw over the other players, then I love them. As a player and a dm. I'll take a goofball over a min-maxing powergamer anyday.

    << PLANESCAPE >> How do you defeat the Lady of Pain?

    I sense one of those mazes opening for someone.

    What good are insta-kill spells and monsters ?

    Hehe.....the yahoo group for my game is called Deathwalkers, the name of the adventuring company I ran through RttToEE. They had all died at least once, some twice :) Sure, Im game, although I doubt I could afford the flight to Australia. :) So what's the story on this rapid succession of...

    What good are insta-kill spells and monsters ?

    I have to agree with a lot of the posters on here. I don't have a problem with insta-kill spells or effects, if used responsibily by the DM. Most of them are higher-level and that's what comes with higher level play. The players should know and expect the opposition to use their abilities to...

    Addicted to Crack [D&D Minis]

    Just wait for Archfiends to come out, then Dragoneye will be a lot more available :) I keep buying them over and over trying to get dire apes. I need them for my Runethane!

    What good are insta-kill spells and monsters ?

    Its funny, but you'll find that a lot of players are fine with the BBEG being dropped by a spell and unlucky save in the first round of a combat. But, if the situation is reversed, they will complain that its not fun for thier characters to be in the same situation. I'm not saying that this is...

    Sins of Our Fathers - 2/10 - Final Update

    Very cool Destan. I'm really looking forward to the next chapter. I love the idea of a campaign continuing on even though the first party was wiped out. Someone else in the world taking up the mantle and carrying the story on. (I know that not all of them died)

    The flip side of the insta-kill discussion... What good are mooks?

    If you're a caster, you better watch out for mobs of mooks. In the right situation, they can overbear and grapple you to the ground. 8th level sorceror in my game got jumped by a village of commoners. He hesitated on blowing them up and almost got grappled and killed. Cracked me up :)

    Shenanigans in DeShamod - What To Do?

    A mean punishment would be to require the troublemakers to capture a few creatures for the menagerie as restituition for thier crime. Who better to catch livestock than a totem warrior?

    What did you do during TSR's dark days of '97

    Question about the Witch King in LOTR

    I really think this scene is in the EE. If you watch one of the trailers that they are showing on tv, you see Eomer on his knees crying and screaming. I don't remember this scene actually being in the film. It could be him grieving over the "death" of Eowyn or Theoden.

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    I have to see it a second time. Im always too busy trying to find the books in the first viewings. Its hard to enjoy the film for what it is when Im looking to see what they left out or changed.

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    I would disagree with the order, but I think you definitely got the teary sections. The fall of Boromir is still the one that gets me the most, closely followed by Aragorn the King bowing to the hobbits.

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    Go see it Flexor, for all our griping, I bet the vast majority of us walked out of the theatre with teary eyes. I know I did. Even with the parts missing that we would have loved to have seen, its an incredible film. Just incredible. Well worth seeing on the big screen. You'll be mad if you...

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    Hehe...it was good to see Sloth from Goonies getting work again, he's really come up in the world. Captain of Mordor hordes! I really think Legolas killing the Mumakil was a tongue in cheek bit of humor on the part of the director. I mean, Eowyn dropped one solo by simply cutting on one's...

    [SPOILERS] THE Return of the King Thread

    The movie was the best Ive seen in terms of epic scope. Absolutely incredible. I wanted to see more of Aragorn though. I mean, the film is Return of the King after all. Its like you see him get Anduril, dump Eowyn, command the Dead of Dunharrow, and then command the troops to attack the...

    Divinations...something that has always irked me

    I can't see any NPC submitting to magic being cast on them unless they trust the caster. How does he know that his mind is being read? What if the caster is casting a curse on him? What if it will hurt? NPCs aren't simply going to roll over submit to whatever spells the caster wants to cast...
