Unrelated MMO question
April 2011
I've often considered it, but I've literally seen WoW take over a couple people's lives in negative ways so I'm turned off of the concept a bit, and I'm like Dread in that I also like my games to have an ending. Time consumption and other factors p…

Planning Help: Dealing with a Dragon's Horde
April 2011
Reading this post reminds me of how awesome it is to be involved with groups that are not childish and petty about treasure/monetary rewards for their actions. As far as your dilemma is concerned, I'm a bit confused. If the characters are "all go…

New to Everything
April 2011
Welcome yet again (you getting sick of being welcomed yet?) Best of luck finding a game, and if it makes you feel any better, even those of us that have been tabletopping for years still go through this periodically, so we all know how you're feeli…

Dragon Lore or Dragon Bore?
March 2011
I think I'll take the home team...depending on the points spread. What's the over/under on # of casualties?

To Kill or Not to Kill?
March 2011
Good ideas here, but I think you should definitely consider the "vision" aspect so they know they have an important decision. Maybe the blessed character "sees" his love interest get shot at the 20 minute mark, thus creating a sense of urgency and …

Hello + How do you get more participation from your players?
March 2011
Once again I find myself echoing my esteemed colleagues at OP. Encouraging sometimes works, rewarding for participation works even better, but demanding won't work at all, and will actually hurt both the site and your relationship with your players…

Why yes, Virginia, Gamer Girls DO exist!
March 2011
I've been gaming for about what...well more than a dozen years, anyway....and I think I've been at 2 tables that had a girl present, wait, no 3. And only one of them I know still plays (although very infrequently, as her current group is very inter…

The WIP thread

Agreed. This thread popping up again is awesome. Well done, Arsh...keep it up, sir.

Ned help with NPC
March 2011
I like the idea of the old adventurer who misses the thrill of it, and has a sort of mentoring role, which may or may not lead him back to adventuring himself. And Gnunn's idea of him popping up in their path on completely unrelated tasks of his ow…

Remove Where We Game map?
March 2011
There's a place on Grand Cayman that's called Hell. It's a beautiful volcanic jagged field of obsidian-type rock formations. Maybe set your "where we play" there, and it'll mean more than a few things. Metaphors are great.

Retiring PCs without breaking your game
March 2011
Oooooh, I like Femme's now. Still like the divine "borrowing the Paladin's body for a while" idea of Dusk's, but I like Femme's aspect of information-feeding, too. Now I'm conflicted.

Retiring PCs without breaking your game
March 2011
I'm with whodo or Dusk. Both situations provide the player's character to still be focused on the quest at hand, and have an impact in the world surrounding them, while not taking anything away from the group of players that are still there (except…

Multiple Groups in One Campaign
March 2011
I can't think of an easy way to do this, either. I think maybe the easiest one would be to do this: 1. You become ascendant so you have multiple campaigns at your disposal. 2. Create a main, all-encompassing "campaign" which would be more like…

Crazy Celebrities as D&D Monsters

Maybe Miley's bardic father mated with a dryad instead of a halfling? Oh.....and beautiful pun on the succubus...especially if it was intentional.

Chill Creature Template help
March 2011
Looks pretty good to me, though I might add a "susceptible to fire-based attacks" provision in there somewhere, as fireballs, flaming weapons, etc are surely more potent against foes of this type. Possibly a "save vs taking extra damage"-type scena…

Beyond OP: Plug your other creativity here!
February 2011
edited February 2011
Okay, so I've been wanting to get into this whole "blogging" thing for a while, so I did. Just getting it figured out, though, so no laughing. I started a blog a while ago for my sports columns, but haven't received permission from my newspaper …

Beyond OP: Plug your other creativity here!

Gaaran, checked it out and I'll check back as often as I can...purely to get you the extra traffic, mind you, as I am likely one of the few around here that don't really play vids. (at least not anymore, too busy) And the ones I used to play aren't…

Welcome, Stix. Haven't checked out your campaigns yet, but I'll get there...just wanted to get the welcoming part out of the way, and say that everyone around here is very helpful and friendly, so don't be shy. I'm sure the rest of the crew will be…

So....
February 2011
Dusk, I think if you took the reigns of this (wow, accidental pun) it would, indeed, pay off, as I think maybe that archive would probably turn into the "go to" source for the "best of OP" for many on the site. I know for myself, anyway, I te…

Portalliers seems to have caught on a bit, as Dusk (I think) already used it to reference us in another thread. I'm going to go with it until someone tells me to stop

I ran an interesting one shot adventure this weekend...
February 2011
That sounds like a thing that my friend Optimus_Mush told me about running one time with our group while I was out of town. Did you both just come up with the same concept out of thin air, or did you pick it up somewhere? Either way, I was disappo…

Good find, Tewhill, though it's more than double what he was hoping to pay. Still...good teamwork.
