PC's can become arrogant sods. Especially as they gain power and money. Especially if the players ignore the effects their characters have on the world. I was reading bits of Terry Jones' Medieval Lives and (from poor memory) he talks about a village that didn't want the king to use the road...

A Cast of Thousands - Expert Sorcerors G'day guys and gals, Wanting to share some of my ideas and I'm considering something a little more formal which may even provide me with some pocket money. However, committing the time and effort to publish something is a little daunting...

G'day, For some reason I cannot fathom I now receive the "you cannot vote in this poll" and the results even if I haven't voted in or even entered the thread previously. I haven't been able to find any setting that may relate to this. Sample of those I cannot vote in...

The characters in my current campaign have all dedicated themselves to the good godddess who they must find and free. The dedication ceremony granted each character the powers and spells, regardless of any restrictions, of a randomly determined cleric domain. This has naturally led to changes...

After I mentioned my little old lady NPC who was just trying to walk to the next town to visit her sister yet generated 2 hours of roleplay for the party who felt obliged help her, BardStephenFox used the phrase "I had two encounters I considered throwaway encounters that the players loved" and...

So there I was reading various threads, picking up ideas here and there and then on the How far do you go in planning solutions to problems? thread these two sentences... ...triggered a little cascade of thought. :) NPC's that block or distract the party from achieving their goals simply...

Has there been any thought about a resources forum? You often get threads requesting a particular type of resource in different forums and it would be nice if we could get them all in one place. If someone would be willing to manage it, a giant sticky thread at the top could keep an updated...

Happy 30th Anniversary, DnD! So how many of you will be celebrating World DnD Day other than participating in official events? I'll be playing with my group (we start in 40 mins) who I've gamed with for 22 years. And I'll play in another group tomorrow but as it will still be Saturday in the...

Years ago I read an article in Dragon about magic items designed to ease everyday living like the comb of untangling hair, etc. Over the years I've given my players several magic items designed for everyday use (rather than being designed for adventuring, killing, etc). Some of them became...

In our very low tech past, news travelled only as fast as the fastest form of transportation, could be intercepted or interrupted or destroyed during transit, came from only a few sources and was 'colored' by every person it passed through. Part of the reason for the success of the larger...

Aussie TV talk show 'Enough Rope' with Andrew Denton had Matt Damon on tonight. Denton: I want to talk about your childhood, your celebrated friendship with Ben Affleck. Now, you used to play the role playing game Dungeons and Dragons. Damon: Yeah. Denton: Which one of you was the axe...

I DM an older group so we are a little slower than we used to be ;) but one player has diabetes and his eyesight has deteriorated badly. He has had to undergo some laser surgery leaving him with tunnel vision. He can no longer make out maps drawn on a battlemap or which figure is which so I've...

G'day all, Everyone has different ideas about what makes up a good module. Some like full stat blocks in text, some at the end, some only a summary if its in the monster manual as was recently discussed in the Monte Reviews Dungeon thread. Some like color maps, others something easily...

I just posted to the 'how many campaigns have you completed' thread about one of my campaigns where I loosely based the campaign on Susan Cooper's wonderful series of children's books The Dark Is Rising Sequence which is made up of (IIRC): Over Sea, Under Stone The Dark Is Rising (which scared...

G'day guys, I'm about to start a new campaign where the party are members of the Lost, enslaved descendants of peoples magically transported from Faerun to this new world. The party needs to escape, learn about the world, gather resources, gain levels, discover the secret of the enslavers and...
