2nd Edition AD&D, a dwarf fighter/thief pugilist. I put a lot of work into his backstory and concepts, worked with the party to develop how he started working with them (Family lived in a slum near generic fantasy human city full of racists, chased from mining camp by orcs, character grew up...

Hello! Looking for gamers in the Southwestern part of Syracuse NY! Primarily looking for D&D!

In general I usually provide a ton of clues. In this case, they had already had a tussle with a few thugs and walked away badly bruised. In yet another case of idiotic behavior, they had been asked by a merchant to watch an empty warehouse. If someone showed up to rob the place, they were asked...

When PCs are stupid, they get burned. Simple as that. Me: "The thieves guild in the city is notorious for their slippery ways. They move around through sewers and rooftops, and rumors swirl that there are probably a hundred different routes the thieves use to come and go from their lair under...

The man who helps me drop acid gets the +1, and DMPCs get shafted. :D

I will do so! I've already got some ideas, and am going to pull heavily from Skyrim (Elves, Orcs and Dwarves are all related.. just cousins).

Sorry to interrupt your thread - but I wanted to let you know I love this! Great system!

My google-fu is failing, but I read a book years ago where the murderer was uncovered by the murder weapon itself. You said a druid leads the council? So what if there is a spell or ritual that can be cast by other druids or a cleric that, upon a night of the full moon, a murder weapon covered...

Do you have Dragon Mountain? If so you can get some ideas there. However, low level is a bit more difficult. I normally reserve treacherous kobolds for high level games. However, these might work: Chain Trap: The chain trap is a difficult trap to spot. Usually buried under refuse, the trap is...

I absolutely positively hate elves and usually ban them from games I'm running. I've held that grudge for 22 years now and have no plans on stopping anytime soon. But yeah I usually only allow: Humans, Half-orcs, halflings, dwarves, and gnomes. Maybe some homebrewed races where appropriate...

I stumbled across this thread today - and it's timely. I've recently been told I should be a computer - not in so many words, but that was the intent.

Well I try not to gloat about it to much, but I do take pride in my work... :D :D :D

How dare you say that Paranoia might not be for everyone! The Computer specifically designed the game to be as pleasing as possible. Obviously you are some kind of commie traitor!

whew a topic we can all agree on! :D

I couldn't find any population/usage numbers, but interestingly enough there is a considerable difference between low/high quality (which was the original point on how plate mail came up). http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/aams/hd_aams.htm Super high quality pieces, from masters of the art, were...

Yes. If you design a specialty priest that is over the top you can switch them over to the wizard table. I recommend this if you are combining spell groups (i.e a priest who can cast wizard spells).

I'd look forward to a reprint of Karameikos: Kingdom of Adventure. That was a fun little sandbox.

Right, can't be done. Totally agree - it's nuts. He needs a different system (I'd recommend: Paranoia, MechWarrior, or Mutant Future as potential source material for what he wants, but to do a fantasy version you're still going to need to modify the rules heavily, more so then just ignoring...

Yeah 2nd Edition is exciting. I recently got back into gaming over the past year and a half - 5th edition online game. Was getting a bit bored as were other players so I offered to DM a 2nd Edition module I've been sitting on for years. This past weekend? 7 players showed up. More then EVER...

I wanted to add one final thought on flexibility. Since 1991, I've been playing 2nd Edition AD&D. In that time I've created a lot of worlds, and yes, the majority were generic medieval fantasy settings. However, with Creative Campaigning and the PO rules, I've created: A sea going campaign set...
