in Is it wrong to want to TPK your group? January 2011

Hey...just because I've got "Paladin" in my name doesn't mean I always act like one. If I WAS playing a paladin in that situation, I would've been all about saving the townsfolk (once again, depending on circumstances...I mean maybe the townsfolk ha…

in Is it wrong to want to TPK your group? January 2011

And now that I read it over, it sounded kinda mean...know that was not my intent, and if it sounds a bit harsh, I apologize. Maybe I'm still a bit pissed at myself for earlier mis-judgements while GM-ing, and I was ranting at myself. Still, …

in Is it wrong to want to TPK your group? January 2011

Maybe I'm missing some important details here, but from what you've described, I don't exactly see your problem. That the characters didn't work together to save the townsfolk instead of just fighting individual monsters that were in front of them?…

in Base of Operations: Castle, or Airship? January 2011

I was picturing that, too. Hopefully there's a back-up plan if you don't make it, haha. Or if one member of the group is just a dick and, like you said, cuts the rope on another guy. And the hilarity ensues!

in I am so freaking bummed. January 2011

Definitely an eclectic group...I'm also stoked to see where it goes. I'm new to the whole playing rpg's online thing, as well as the system, so it's an exciting venture. Especially considering the cast of characters (and their players)

Beautiful scene. I hope one of your PC's used the trick against them at some point in the fight and "hull-jumps" into his own flanking position!

in How to whip up a planned/ unplanned session in no time January 2011

I think however you get your players to be more imaginative is a good thing. XP is a good way (if the players care about XP) but also other types of rewards, as well. I've always like the idea of awarding ranks in skills that are used in imaginativ…

in How to whip up a planned/ unplanned session in no time January 2011

I've never been part of a situation like that...but I have had egoist thoughts like "I really should've got extra experience for that, they should modify xp rules," etc...maybe people don't look around the box BECAUSE this sort of thing doesn't happ…

in How to whip up a planned/ unplanned session in no time January 2011

Sounds like you've got a good grasp on your specific players and characters, as I would've assumed...I was just talking in generalities that make the "dungeon crawl" more easily workable. Man, now that I'm thinking about it...I haven't been on a …

in How to whip up a planned/ unplanned session in no time January 2011

I gotta say that I enjoy a good dungeon crawl on occasion, but like what has already been pointed out...they get monotonous in a hurry. I find it always helps if there are different "scenes" in a dungeon where events take place. Tight quarters fol…

in The WIP thread January 2011

Hey Dusk...no hurry bud. Like I said, I hope I have some time when you finish it so that I can work on it...which doesn't look like it'll be........well, who knows? I'd rather make time for the game itself than for artistic endeavors related to it. …

in The WIP thread January 2011

Awesome, Arsheesh...just too bad about the modesty (haha). I can't help but wonder what happened to Mara, though...did you solve the conundrum of the armor/pauldrons? I'm still looking forward to having a go at this whole thing sometime when I…

in Grue vs Gazebo January 2011

Frank, I know that Ice cream socials have been around for a long time...it just didn't look like the wikipedia entry had, that's all. I think it would've been awesome if you'd have made a wikipedia entry just to link to it from the forums. On th…

in Saying Hello! January 2011

Panda, Adding my voice to the welcoming committee, which will likely soon show up to welcome you in the near future. I would also like to echo Dark's assertion that the entire community is very helpful, and more than willing to help out. I know …

in Looking for some advice January 2011 edited January 2011

Derek, I think you've got a good starting idea of the way you want to use the Portal, and are on your way to creating a fine campaign/site. So far I would say that your "house rules" section should probably have it's own link, rather than having…

Nice. You maybe couldn't "read" minds...but you could hit them with your pointy stick?

in Explosive Runes (D&D 3.5 spell) January 2011

Ooooh, nice one, Mush. Explosive heiroglyphs that anyone could understand...Dammit...but how would you separate that from the knowledge of an animal of some kind that could recognize familiar shapes?....no understanding needed. Unfortunately, they'…

Frank, did you create that wikipedia page just for this post...you did didn't you? Ice Cream Social. I think you now have to host one, sir. With open invites (and possibly plane tickets) for the members of the OP community that sign up. (wait, maybe…

in I am so freaking bummed. January 2011

Unfortunately we all have to feel the pain of a lack of gaming from time to time, and hopefully it all works out in the long run, right? I like to think that the experience is even better when you've been missing it...not that helps you, Dusk, but …

in Base of Operations: Castle, or Airship? January 2011

Take 'em down, Gnunn! Run that airship into the ocean, and make 'em swim back to their new Castle. Haha. Wow, I can be a bit mean sometimes, I guess. Anyway, I'm with igor...keep us up to date on this, my friend...you've got us hooked. Hopefully y…

in I am so freaking bummed. January 2011

I hope the train hasn't left yet, because I'm not on it either, Dusk. All will be well, my friend. I know that when you're hyped up about getting something on the go, unfortunate obstacles to that are a definite bummer, though.

I've often thought about putting them in things like research materials that were "for your eyes only" type of situations, but I've always seen them as being slightly unfair in all the circumstances that they would also be cool or funny.

in Flashback Adventures January 2011

Personally, I'd love to play out parts of some of my characters' backstories, but you'd need to be in a group that was relatively....I don't know, mature? What I'm saying is that it could be VERY tempting for players to effect their surroundings in…

in Congrats Duskreign! January 2011

Dusk, You honor us by your words, actions and attitude around here, and you are (I'm sure) one of the major reasons that this site (OP) is as strong as it is, especially in the forums. Your dedication, not only to your own campaigns/settings, bu…

in Massive Challenge every now and then ...... January 2011

I agree with Arsheesh's assertion that the players have to know ahead of time that these encounters are a very real possibility, as it's not really fair to lead them along with easy/slightly challenging, but not really life-threatening encounters fo…

in The WIP thread January 2011

Arsheesh, if you loose those pauldrons, you have to promise to use them on another character, because they're awesome. Dusk, I'm going to need some instruction on how I go about "grabbing a line art and start painting" as I think I should've establi…

in A new web tool for GMs December 2010

I was just clicking it for a minute or two and it seems to me that if half the people who visit it submitted their own small plot hook/encounter/impetus, etc. it will indeed be a fantastic tool. I did get duplicites a few times fairly quickly, thou…

Fantastic, sir. Keep it coming. Man, this thread is really making me want to give this a try. It looks like fun...maybe a bit frustrating...but rewarding in the end.
