    Do you roll NPC/Monster stats?

    I don't roll for my PCs because I hate the idea of in built, intentional inbalance. So naturally I don't roll for NPCs either. However I do try to give each individual a personality and roll, regardless of whether they have a speaking roll or not. And knowing my players, they will often interact...

    Pathfinder 1E If you want High Dex melee -and- a choice in weapons, you're asking for WAY to much

    I'm always finding myself in situations where I'm making light armored, high Dex melee characters with low Strength. This wouldn't be so bad if the Rapier wasn't the only one-handed weapon that works with weapon finesse. Oh, there is another, THE WHIP; you know, the one one that can't even do...

    What Game/Music combo does this picture make you want to play?

    Dragonforce - Through The Fire And Flames (Video) - YouTube As for game... Well it reminds me of God of War, but I don't want to play that. Other than that I've got nothing *Sheepishpony*

    D&D 3E/3.5 What if everyone's a wizard? [3.5]

    --- In a wold of magic, nobody bats an eyelid when a unicorn teleports, or a pegasus manipulates the atmosphere or a dragon vomits up your daily newspaper. Magic would become a normal part of daily life, and they would view it no differently to the way we view technology. It may even no longer...

    Slack Player

    I like some of these suggestions, but I need to stress the point that kicking them the game is in no way shape or form an option. First of all, I've already played the "Just kick them from the game" card before, and I can only do that once, and that was early on, in the first in game day...

    Slack Player

    I am the DM of a group in a live chat game using Skype. Our group runs two games, (I am the DM of one, and a player in the other) however there is this one player is constantly dragging his feet as much as humanly possible. Because of this, my game has ground to a complete halt, and the other is...

    Pathfinder 1E Help with a Power Gamer [Pathfinder]

    That, my friend, is a one way ticket to everyone stopping playing and enjoying the game and spending all their time and effort trying to make their characters as good as possible mechanically.

    Pathfinder 1E Help with a Power Gamer [Pathfinder]

    In out group we -kinda- have a powergamer, though he's not ridiculously so. When we're waiting on other players to arrive, or during the weekdays, since we do this online, we discuss methods of making everyone's characters better. Rather than just hoarding his character building skill for...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 alternate ways of handling favoured classes and multiclassing

    I'm gonna be frank with you. The way 3.5 handles multiclassing... Sucks. Giving a character a serious learning disability because they put a level or two into a different class is just stupid, mechanically and fluff wise. Mechanically because the multiclassed character is going to fall FAR...

    Female-friendly game design?

    For those of you too vague to notice my name; I am a female gamer. And I will vouch for the truth in the fact that female gamers do have a tendency towards casual gaming (However, as always, this is not the rule and there are many MANY exceptions, myself being one of them). HOWEVER, if you want...

    Adding personal flavour to spells

    Very true, you would have to do it in such a way that the spell remains mechanically unaltered. And again, materials don't count as mechanics, that's the fluffiest fluff in the land of fluff.

    Adding personal flavour to spells

    Noire, the god of hell fire reincarnate wizard, casts Evard's Black Tentacles, and instead of rubbery limbs, black chains burst out of the ground, and shackle their targets to the ground. Bright, the quirky comedic relief Cleric, fires a sound burst spell and the voice of her goddess is...

    Best Cleric Domains

    Maybe I have the wrong mentality, but when ever I use a cleric, I take the War domain and a fluff domain. I mean bonus spells are great and all, but I find them far too situational, and I don't think I've ever used a cleric's domain to full effects. I mean the ability to turn water elementals...

    Genre vs Realism

    I won't explain my actual dilemma because it involves extreme paraphilia. One of my friends pointed out that if met with a certain situation, his character would resort to acts of heavy gore and mutilation. Luckily said friend is NOT in this particular game, but it does raise an important...

    CON no longer useful for boosting HP

    While playing 5e, If you're planning on spending a few attribute points on Constitution just to give your HP a boost, I have one thing to say about it; DON'T! Lets all open our copy of "How to Play D&D Next", which WotC wants to keep confidential even though Sorcerers of the Land *spit* could...

    If classes were a color.

    Barbarian = Brown, the color of leather armor and bronze. Bard = Pink, the flamboyant color (Light blue if they're a male maybe?) Cleric = White, the color of the cloth. Druid = Green, the color of nature. Fighter = Silver, the color of steel. Monk = Dark Brown, the color of the cloak...

    My players are unstoppable

    I'm running a D&D3.5 game and just about everything I throw at my players gets sliced and diced and thrown over their shoulder like it was nothing. This -INCLUDES- high level boss fights. There has even been more than one occation where one character or another got separated from the main...

    Sustaining a Technological Anacronism

    One issue I've had as a DM is the players having trouble swallowing the technology levels of the setting. Odly enough, they seem perfectly accepting of an underwater super-race with mecha, lasers and other ultra advanced tech, but don't feel right about any steam technology they encounter, even...

    Backgrounds and Preferred Classes

    I like your thinking in giving alternate Favored Classes, but I don't think making it a feat would be necessary, and feels more like giving $100 for 50cents worth. Admittedly I strongly dislike the idea of favored classes and XP penalties because of multiclassing all together and would rather...
