    DM: Encouraging More Role-Playing in an RPG

    I tend to ramble a lot; this next part in quote-format is simply back-story to why I've posted about this issue. I would advise skipping the next part and getting to the real question, unless of course you're interested in my back-story--in which case, I greatly appreciate said interest! :)...

    How Can a DM Encourage Roleplaying?

    Before I begin, I'd like to thank anyone who takes the time to read and/or post in response to my question. I really do appreciate the help. As a DM, are there any good ways to encourage roleplaying within a group? I, for one, really enjoy the concepts of story and characterization, along with...

    Dragon article: A Little Help From Your Friends

    Being a D&D player with, ahem, great apprectiation for backstory (enough to incite the reaction "How long did that take?" from my fellow gamers), I was quite excited when I saw this thread. Until I realised... I'm not an Insider. *Roll for advice--oops! Critical fail!* Oh well :erm:

    First-time DM--Where Do I Start???

    Thanks so much for your help! I've finally started (woohoo) and got a nice 4-or-more-encounters session in the works, thanks to you guys. My campaign setting is *very* simple. The single more-experienced player in the group suggested leaving the setting very open-ended in case other players...

    First-time DM--Where Do I Start???

    Hello. Thanks, by the way, for reading a poor newbie's plea for aid. Well, it's my first time DMing. My party needs a new adventure--nothing too radical, nearly all of us are newbies, and still stuck in the good 'ole heroic tier--and I reckon I got 1 month to prepare before everyone is...

    New Character Builder from WotC!

    Oops. I think I used the wrong word. Sorry if I offended anyone :erm: I idn't mean to devalue anything... It was early in the new year, I was a bit tired, somewhat insane... I have gotten my manners back in line. In any case, I prefer good 'ole pen-and-paper to digitized D&D. It's traditional...

    New Character Builder from WotC!

    Ahh, but you see, one does not have to pay a monthly fee for the Steam service. It's like holding something ransom, but not requesting any real ransom fee. This new DDI system, however, is terrorism... (Subtle pun, eh?)

    Sneak Attack--Help me stop my DM from banishing it!

    Thank you so much for helping me with this! I now have an arsenal of counter-arguments in favor of SA. My rogue has been saved after all! However, I may let the undead thing slide, strange as it is already. I guess you could counter the undead's immunity to sneak attack by making them really...

    Sneak Attack--Help me stop my DM from banishing it!

    Thanks for reading this. I appreciate your support! To get to the meat: I play a rogue--a drow rogue, to be exact. Because of their racial powers, and rogue powers in general, my drow rogue tends to gain CA a lot of the time in combat. What does that mean? More sneak attacks! Yay for me...

    Shuriken vs. Hand Crossbow: What's the Point of Shuriken?

    I see... thanks for all your help. I appreciate it! :) From what people have said: --Shuriken actually aren't any better than throwing daggers or using a HBC. --Shuriken are LBs; however, most of the ranged rogue powers that require LBs will also allow the use of a HBC. --For a...

    Shuriken vs. Hand Crossbow: What's the Point of Shuriken?

    Hello, all! Before we begin: No, this is NOT a question about holding shuriken in your off-hand, and has NOTHING to do with what sharp, pointy things you can hold while you hold other sharp, pointy things in your off-hand. I'm good with that :p My question is: what's so special about...
