    Can I make up random stuff as a DM?

    He does not need to be cursed either. I set up a world where paladins where considered evil and vile because they would come in and try to dystroy the local priests & church. The PCs would belong to the church, therefore, in self defense they would hunt and slay paladins & their cohorts. It...

    Mercenary campaign

    Give the PCs & NPCs standard wages they signed up for, but as a DM, do not put anything of value in the mix. Historically, mercs are given a wage and can keep whatever they find. If you do not want PCs with +3 swords, than do not put them in the hands of your bad guys. All wands found have...

    Why can't I kill my pc's. Just once?

    Blind Kobalds. They are the answer. They are to small to be of notice, but there intellect is beyond repoarch. They set up traps that are the works of a genius. ============================ Of course you may have guano for smarts when it comes to tactical preparations. Your PCs are...

    101 Taverns

    I never thought of chain stores. Is there a high level NPC who runs the chain? How about wagons that carry the profits to the CEO? If a PC dystroys one store, is he banned in the others?

    Anyone else find it annoying to figure out skills for NPCs?

    While you are not looking for solutions, I have one anyways. The number one philosophy should be fun. If griping is fun, than the solution is to gripe and do nothing. If the griping is about unfun stuff, than you might want to change the "fairness" rule. If your not having fun, & dreading...

    Player so afraid PC will die that she's not having fun

    Negative. Learning to deal with different playstyles is a mark of experence. Particularly with new people. As hard as it is to be a DM, knowing rules and which dice to throw out is easy and literally childs play. Understanding the makeup of the individuals in front of you and how to present...

    Player so afraid PC will die that she's not having fun

    Are you still of the same thought process? If so re read his 1st post. If he still sounds experienced I will be glad to hold your hand and show you his inexperience. But Everyone has to start somewhere. Forceuser seems to have learned to ID his mistakes quite well. Once he mitigates those...

    Player so afraid PC will die that she's not having fun

    I originally had a long post about it, but had problems keeping it posted. I forgot the old stand by of saving a post before you hit the submit reply button. I think you have corrected your mistakes, but I was basing my recommendation on what you wrote. It is good that those people keep...

    Paying the troops - D&D Economics

    Actually, the way you figured it out works pretty well Sargent and below is welfare wages. Generals/Admirals lived high on the hog. But remember Gen Eisenhower was only the 12th person to make that rank (in 1943). There are not many Generals or Admidrals.

    Player so afraid PC will die that she's not having fun

    You where an inexperienced DM to start with. That inexperience hurt the group. You have since learned but your group does not have the RPG experience you have. You Where able to ID the problem and correct it. The others can not. Step down and let someone else DM. Lead the group from a...

    Player so afraid PC will die that she's not having fun

    Damn writing problems. I wrote a long reason why you should step down. You are a tainted DM with this group.
