The Hive is Not Yet Dead.

MY FLGS gives discounts to GMs, especially if they run games that preview new products.

You should try running episodic games... a bunch of one-shots. Players may be inconsistent, so you don't want to have to depend on anyone.

That's a very good suggestion.

Personally, I'd run something wacky, like the party has to be full of good-aligned dretches. Easy to run and memorable.

Rain in CA has to be better than earthquakes.

I think that's a case of "the weather you know" vs. "the weather you don't."

Yeah, but rain + earthquakes is a different story altogether (thought, its not as bad as fire + earthquake).

I think that's a case of "the weather you know" vs. "the weather you don't."

We know rain, we know its supposed to only exist in the winter, but we don't know how to function in it. Now what is strange is when it starts to snow in places its not supposed to, like most of Southern California... which strangely it has during the last several storms.

Speaking of wacky, I always kind of wanted to try to run a TMNT game, maybe using Bo9S classes.

Exactly what I was planning-

In Eberron there is a guild of adventurers and explorers for hire called The Wayfinders. I would set up 4 hour dungeon delves of similiar levels. If a person returns and wishes to play a character they have used before then they may (even if leveled up).


It is a store struggling for DnD. His main business is video games and Card Games. DnD has been there for 1 year but there are only about 10 people that play and most of us are on a budget so either we don't buy books or go thru the net.

He has heard good things about my DMing style and wants me to run a game or two to develop interest. I was avoiding this since some of the kids there I can't stand but after 8 months of no gaming I have a terrible itch that needs scratching. So I agreed to run a few games but with the rule that I won't announce it until I have it done. Working my 70+ hours a week makes my time to prepare a game questionable at best.


Working on my Template list also has me wanting to experiment. A semi-aquatic dungeon with Land Walker Sharks seems cool.



now.... where did I put those toy sharks....?

Most of the people that would show up have never played or not enough to understand what a dretch is and why it is odd to be nice and friendly.


Templated oddities is the way to go. Walking Sharks is memoriable. Large burning teleporting Dire Fleas is memorible (in a painful way).

Turtles with humanoid template then ninja and weapon master classes.... played while consuming lots of pizza.

Pretty much! Though, I didn't actually think the Ninja class (a la Complete Adventurer) did the TMNT much justice--that's why I'd go with Bo9S for a bit more action-packed combat.

Don't have the 9 swords so I will take your word for it. Maybe psychic Warrior?

quiet.


Just finished playing Heroclix with my kids and one of their friends. Green Arrow, Boomarang and one of Moleman's minions vs 300 pts of Police, Lord Maxim's and shield w/hydra.

I won but it came down to the dice in the end.

Nothing else happening here and since folks are gone I guess I'll move on also. Later-

The moon was looking a bit red tonight. Anyone else get to see it?

I got to see it. Went out several times; was too chilly to stay outside for long....
