Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 3056834" data-attributes="member: 7177">I have several ideas on cutting down on the effort neccessary to run D&D:- I don't use rules supplements. I only use the Core Rules - that's it. If the players want to use stuff from some rules expansions, fine - I'll read through to these additional rules and then say yea or nay. But I refuse to spend money on them and to carry them around with me.- Instead of miniatures, I use little pins like you find them in office supply stores. I draw my maps on grid paper and then put them on a block of styrofoam (a cardboard box will do in a pinch). The pins (in different colors, and with flags for PCs) are used to show the position of the PCs and NPCs. Though it might not look as nice, this setup otherwise can do everything minis can do, at a fraction of the cost - and the maps can be at a much larger scale, too!- I started the <a href="http://d20npcs.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">d20 NPCs Wiki</a> so that I don't have to create all sorts of NPCs by myself - instead, everyone can use the NPCs others have created (and submit new content, too). And it now has accumulated a couple of hundreds of NPCs, which allows the DM to concentrate more on adventure design instead of working out NPC stats.Try these things out - or otherwise, try out another RPG system. After all, D&D isn't the only game on the market!</blockquote>
