[QUOTE="Psion, post: 3574237, member: 172"] Lessee [list] [*]4 players, evenly gender distributed. [*]Not currently playing D&D. Use Spycraft XP out of the book, but when running D&D, ditch the CR based level guidelines in favor of my own house ruled guidelines. [*]When playing D&D, the spending limit is not a guarantee a particular item is there to be purchased. The best items will be that value, but what's available is random. It's like collectable shopping. [*]I have more books that my players; ideas for using alternate books are often prompted by me. But I skeptical of new classes. [*]house rules affecting action points, class skill choices, racial abilities, etc. [*]Homebrew settings, homebrew or kitbashed adventures. [*]campaigns often run into the teens in levels. [*]PC death happens when it happens. I do little or no fudging to protect PCs, but I only present truly hazardous situations at critical junctures. [*]Most groups I am in has one or two players who are obsessed with keeping the classic 4 or a close proximity "covered" [*]Setting and adversity driven play; usually only 1 or 2 players in the group has a detailed enough picture of their character to entertain character driven play, though I do reward for good roleplay. [*]dungeon crawls are rarely the extended underground dungeon crawl type; more often it's an outpost or lair. [*]always cycling people in and out of the group. [*]Sessions are 4-8 hours [*]sessions are currently every other week, though I prefer weekly [*]I usually host at my house if possible. It's bigger and I don't have to haul my books. [/list] [/QUOTE]
