This may be more appropriate for the House Rules, but considering the discussions regarding magic items, I thought I would post here. I've noticed something about players and the Suggested PC Wealth Guidelines (which i personally call the MSRP). Whenever a GM offers an item through loot, the...

So who's going to put together the random generator tool using the tables in the back of the book? I can't be bothered to roll dice, need to push a button!

These are great! I love the Colussus and Ritual Circle. One of the ideas I had for the Colussus is that its controlled by someone being in the head. The players and bad guys fight from the feet up, trying to gain control first. (either through hollow spaces in the body or by climbing the...

Its the witty banter that keeps me coming back for more! :D

Should do a 101 Item Curses thread :)

Prefer the Mageblade, but the Duskblade ain't bad.

Give em all Aberrant Dragonmarks. This gives them a mechanical benefit as well as a curse. A Silver Flame Exorcist and an Alienist in the same party...must make for some good interparty discussion :)

Read a George RR Martin novel, from Song of Ice and Fire. Man that guy loves to detail food.

*While eating a meal, the pc bites down on something valuable (i.e. Pearl in the Oyster) *While walking through town, the pcs see kids pretending to be the PCs. The kids are wearing mockups of thier clothing and weapons, arguing about how the pcs act, while fighting some pretend monsters...

Well, the main thing about it is that I want the players to reward the other players, as opposed to me as GM rewarding them. That way, its coming from a "peer" in the game instead of the gm. Hopefully, this is way of saying, "You entertained me and I wanted to show my appreiciation" Not sure...

My next campaign will be based on this. I found a program that mimics the old style hex maps and I'm just going to fill in the hexes as the game progresses. Can't wait to try it out.

Well, I didn't toss out leveling, I just tossed out a numerical system to getting there. We encourage the play that we want by discussion, between games. The players tell me what they want to see in the game, and I try to provide it. I am working on a reward mechanic, because everyone likes...

I DM, and desperately want to play :) Buying habits: Mainly pdfs unless its something I will use heavily at the table. Most recent purchases: Magic Item Compendium, Hordes of the Abyss, and Tyrants of the Hells.

Thirded...If my players need a numerical carrot, then they are at the wrong house. The thrill of gaming should be its own reward.

Totally agree. My post should have said "Game appropriate periods". I don't like the "Ding" effect of hitting an arbitrary number. I would prefer the leveling happen while in downtime or at least between sessions.

Which reminds me of The Shadow Out of Time

Fair enough. You were elicting opinions, so I posted mine. Personally, I think tracking xp as a mathematical formula is a total waste of effort. Instead of complicating it with further divisions, why not simply decide the pace that you actually want and go with it? (Hmm...I like for 1st...

Faking injuries? One of my players managed to shoot himself in the thigh during a civilwar reenactment, embedding the wadding material under his skin. Running around with loaded blackpowder guns while drinking the local moonshine is dangerous work! :)

Even better, fill that crispy coating with some kind of oozy nougat. Like green slime, black pudding, grey ooze, or mold. Nothing like smashing it open and having your weapon melt to goo from its squishy center.

Dump xp altogether, since it leads to a killacon attitude (kill kill kill for levels). Level the PCs at story appropriate times or due to party consensus (I do this)
