    Recruitment for Greyhawk campaign

    Holy crap dude, talk about the wrong way to find a game! Five year thread necro? Nah, this game is long gone, man.

    Online Dungeon World (Skype and Roll20) Game Tuesdays 8:30pm EST - happy to teach

    I'm interested in this game. Please send me a PM telling me a little more about this game, and your campaigns. I do have rather high standards for roleplay, but I'm an experienced roleplayer, so the trade-off is fair. =)

    No problem. Just glad we got the details worked out without having to drop anyone for the schedule. ^_^

    Recruitment for Greyhawk campaign

    I know we were planning to play on this coming Saturday, but has a particular time been set for that yet?

    This DM is regretting let PCs run wild.

    Druid/artificer gestalt... That's just plain mean!

    This DM is regretting let PCs run wild.

    Sounds like a fairly fun dungeon. I do feel it necessary to point out that puzzles will only work for so long - eventually, you'll just run out of material. =3 Some of the old 2e modules had good puzzles. Might be worth salvaging and changing around a little. I'm in favour of letting such...

    D&D 5E Skills as mundane Spells

    While it takes a lot of tweaking and immense forethought, this is not necessarily idea at base. As always, you want to be careful about giving your players small, useful things like this. Overall, though, it has certain implications; wizards aren't quite so powerful or difficult to understand...

    First ever images of molecules before and after reaction

    Is it weird that seeing this for the first time feels a little spiritual?

    How medieval are your medieval(-ish) fantasy games?

    I like a good, even mixture of narrativism and simulationism in my games. Magic must always be kept in mind, especially when determining the history of your world prior to the game. One of the major benefits is in limiting the damage of natural disasters, which in a true medieval society could...

    One of my players is attempting to hit on one of my NPCs!!!

    I think I disagree with the idea of most NPCs being receptive to PC advances, but on the other hand, real life is filled with all kinds of weird personalities - why not D&D life? In any case, where adventurers are concerned, there's a point to be made about striking the iron while it's hot...

    One of my players is attempting to hit on one of my NPCs!!!

    People live with contradictory personality traits and ideals all the time. Heck, maybe she just came off as an ice-maiden because she didn't know the party that well, or they had to prove themselves?

    Building an Economy in D&D 3.x *Help*

    The first question one should ask when trying to build an economy is "What's nearby?" What sorts of resources are there? You mentioned a mine and a few other things, but what else? Rivers are important. Do people travel along them? Can they be fished sustainably? Is there a port nearby...

    This DM is regretting let PCs run wild.

    Don't start over. Want to exploit their weak points? Try politics and intrigue! >=D No, but seriously: you can handle this. They're obviously not going to be normal people, but try to think of ways they affect the world around them; if you're on the spot about it, chances are they'll get...

    One of my players is attempting to hit on one of my NPCs!!!

    Don't touch the dice till he has to take the bra off. Then give him a nice, high-DC Disable Device check. But yeah, I recommend roleplaying it. If she's all no-nonsense, don't make it easy for him. Consider the sorts of relationships she'd have had in the past, and how it would have prepared...

    Compensating Farmers for Collateral Damage

    One should also consider the local economy, in the sense of the question "Can this village still eat without this farmer's crop?" In normal times, not so much of an issue. In times of drought or scarcity, it could mean starvation for some. If you REALLY want to be mean, the farmer's crops...

    I don't see the time zones as a big obstacle. I'm sticking with it.

    Gamehackery: Microtransactions for RPGs

    I'm reminded here of the shift that occurred sometime between 2e and 3.5; 2e accepted that rules would be discarded, utilized, or made up as needed by the DM, and generally gave the DM a lot of freedom - later on, at some unspecified point (I can't put a finger on exactly when), things began to...

    Gamehackery: Microtransactions for RPGs

    Somehow, I have the sneaking suspicion that in an office somewhere, there's a Wizards executive saying "I think players should pay us a dollar every time they play a campaign. And two dollars if they want to be a wizard!" Heh. 4e kinda ruined WotC for me. That being said, I will be very...
