So, basically, what you're telling us is that you have absolutely no idea what this game is about, and that you never got past your 13th birthday, emotionally... Nice

I want to thank all of you (albeit years later) for the GREAT ideas.... I have a new table with the most experienced player being a master of the game at a whole 1 1/2 years worth of experience, and another with about 6 months, and 3 with NO experience.... I was watching The Walking Dead one...

In a group I used to be a part of, our main DM ran just shy of Monty Haul. At 4th level, we decimated a young red dragon with very little loss to the party. The experienced players were getting a bit bored because the challenge was not there. The missions were decent and well thought out, they...

A couple of my favorite home brew items: Mace of Healing: In order to heal the target individual, one must successfully attack them for "damage". The amount of damage done is the amount of healing. This was a very 2-sided affair, as the players found it in a cash, and the cleric spent the rest...

Yes, Sekhmet, they are... I have found the adventure I am doing- a ship wreck/ stranded on an island deal with something for everyone... including a fair, yet completely evil DM... The characters (who are thoroughly equipped with armor and weapons and all of the niceties to survive the Rapture...

I understand that druids are fully able to function in town settings,and can even be slightly effective in underground or ruins settings... I, actually, need to be more clear about what I am walking into. My family is going to a friend's house for Easter, and I am running a game for her family...

I find myself in a very strange position, indeed: I am supposed to run a pick-up game on Sunday. Now, usually, it is no issue because I have been playing and DMing since 1978 and can throw together an adventure while watching TV, helping the kids with their homework and arguing with the wife...

I have to stand on the side of Water Bob on this one.... It is your campaign and your game... the book themselves tell you that they are only a guideline... My group and I have come up with magic items that should not be permitted according to the "rules"; however, we discussed it and gave them...

I think my favorite homebrew treasure was an evil bit that the DM tossed at us one night. The group I was in at that time had 4 DM's. The one who started the campaign tended to make the monsters very easy to kill and and very magic heavy. As players we got complacent. One of the DM's ran an...

I usually borrow little interesting bits that I can either use outright or re-work somehow. ex: From Search for the Unknown (B1), The entrance has a battle scene where several adventurers had their first (and last) battle. I have used that a few times, where characters come upon an old battle...

Damn, bro... give me a break... I started playing in the late 70's, but I'm not THAT old lol Actually, the gaming store I refer to wasn't until the 80's

He didn't stay there to die... he was protecting his comrades retreat and then he was going to haul his own metal covered backside... lawful good come sometimes also be lawful chicken.... The only reason he didn't get the opportunity to bail was the zombies got better rolls than I. By covering...

The worst ever done to me was having the group (me with my standard 1ed inspired Paladin) see a column of smoke off in the distance. We travel to see what is going on and we run into an entire village that has been annihilated and every citizen (as far as we knew) was massacred... including the...

I LOVE IT!!!!!! The only bad thing about it is having to clean off my laptop after having spit iced tea all over it after reading this... I am sooo going to steal this idea. :devil:

The last game I worked on was the same basic premise as the movie Red Dawn: America is invaded and a group of teens becomes insurgents. It eventually morphed into a new concept with the same mechanics. I did not use the d20 OGL set-up. I designed the stats off of things that the characters would...

this thread has many decent ideas. Following them will give you a good place to start your paladinhood.. All of my characters have different concepts; however, my paladins all have basic similarities in their design: Whatever deity it is my character follows, he is slavishly devoted and...

I ALWAYS choose everything on my characters to fit the character concept. I have absolutely no hassles having an 8 stat if there is a valid reason for the character to have it, and I can effectively role play it.

I was playing in a group that wandered into a cemetery and were immediately set upon by the various undead wandering the place. The Paladin (my character) immediately jumped into action to rid the world of this evil. The Ranger was right on his heels to rid the world of the abberations, and the...

Our "club" was based- as so many others- out of our local store. The "dues" were simply $5 a day, and you could play all day in whatever game was available. There were a few tables in a back room, and it was not unusual to have one table playing D&D, another playing Gamma World, or Top Secret...

There was a Dwarf that was introduced into the group by stomping through the woods after his last group had- ostensibly- been decimated. Our party was strolling along the proverbial dirt road going point a to point b when we heard a low voice repeating, "trudge, trudge, trudge, f'n trudge". The...
