Dragon article: A Little Help From Your Friends

[Klaus]

Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game Official Home Page - Article (A Little Help from Your Friends) offers tips on creating NPC buddies, from a strictly roleplaying point-of-view.

Also, Bart Caroll listed the articles that should go live this week. In addition to the Editorials and the aforementioned article, we'll have "Female Villains" and...

... Channel Divinity: VECNA!

I like the article a lot, specially in contrast with the usually mechanically inclined articles.

Although it may not say nothing new to many players, I think it has the potential to enrich many campaigns. It is also noteworthy and encouraging how it promotes good communication with the DM without a (IMO abundant) tone of authoritarian player entitlement.

Looking forward to the Vecna article, should be good for both players and DMs alike.

The friends article was ok, nothing spectacular there but for certain players (like some of mine) it could help. Its not bad for those players who really don't put much, if any, thought into their backgrounds. No crunchy bits though so I'm sure plenty of people will be upset.

This completely reminds me of a bard I used to play that used to introduce himself thusly,

"I am Riddle of Rivenshire, friend to those who want no friends."

Neat article. I'm making a background schema for players to follow, similar to the FATE system. This article has a place right in there.

we'll have "Female Villains"

Hopefully they'll be treated better than they were in that Options to not kill, but rather torture your enemies article last month.

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

... Channel Divinity: VECNA!

I hope it has a corresponding article on "Magic Items: the Other Body Parts of Vecna!"

I hope it has a corresponding article on "Magic Items: the Other Body Parts of Vecna!"

Should I even try to head off the inevitable references?

Eye've got to hand it to you. Most people wouldn't like a dancing Vecna, but I sure like that aspect of him.
