Mass combat with early 20th century technology?
February 2011
edited February 2011
A couple of things come to mind. Palladium games uses a pretty good system for massively destructive technology alongside swords/ axes/ magic. Basically, they use the concept of Mega Damage. In Palladium, hit points are called SDC (structural dam…

hey, anyone interested in an online version of this on OP sometime in the next month or 2? If I could organize 4 or 5 of us we could do a slow auction using the forum... I have been wanting for a while now to flesh out some characteristics of the k…

Campaign Ideas?
February 2011
Do you want super powered PCs? Anime. Do you want lower powered PCs? Gothic. Is combat the most important aspect of the gaming session? Anime. Is atmosphere and roleplaying the most important aspect of the gaming session? Gothic. Will …

Brainstorming: Interesting Wilderness Encounters
February 2011
edited February 2011
Couple other minor considerations: terrain -- thick brush takes effort to walk through. Forested hills cut visibility way down. Swamps are exhausting to walk through, and take a loooong time to make progress in. Insects, bird calls, animal dropping…

Femme- yeah, its actually a pretty fun way to spend 20-30 minutes with your players too! The more creative ones can be encouraged to write a paragraph describing a personality trait or character flaw of the king/ queen who rules the country they ju…

I hadnt thought of the silent auction aspect, I usually make it an open air bidding war -- that way players get caught up in the excitement and overbid for stuff while getting in bidding wars with each other. But I could definitely see how a silent…

If you are having trouble imagining how this is used, here are some examples. Lets pretend the kingdoms are A, B, C, D, E, and F. After the auction, you now know the likely outcome if A invades C, while providing you lots of roleplaying opportuniti…

Planning Scramble!
February 2011
I love those types of scenarios. I felt really bad for the party cleric in a campaign I was running a long time ago-- he was due up as the last PC to face a challenge (the other party members had all done well, with the exception of one pc who wa…

Dungeon Brainstorming 1: Temple of Fire
February 2011
edited February 2011
these guys already covered it pretty thoroughly. My only other suggestion is to think about breathable air-- not sure of your magical physics, but it could be possible for a magic flame to burn up all the breathable oxygen in a closed room, tunnel,…

My players are overpowered
February 2011
There are a number of things you could do. One of my favorites for this : drop in an artifact of great power, that is useful to every character but can only be wielded by one at a time (preferably something large like a throne, a staff, a crown, a…

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

Bogus, yeah I love doing that also. It is so fun when the players let a potential foe escape, only to have him return (usually a few levels higher and with additional allies/ tactics ready to make their life hell). They can endlessly torture thems…

Rewarding creative failures
January 2011
Sorry I missed this thread.... got a nice chuckle out of the bunkbed banshee. But to your point- I often use NPCs, especially henchmen or members of a party's staff (if they have minions) to reward a player for such foolish, if creative ideas. …

New Feature - The Big Map - easily find games in your area
January 2011
yeah to be totally honest I tried using this feature, and wrote down like 10 campaigns nearest to me. When I went to look them up on the OP they were all dusty and dead campaigns, some I could not even find at all on OP by searching on the name of …

How to whip up a planned/ unplanned session in no time
January 2011
Hey gnunn, I was curious-- how often does your gaming group get together to play? How long do your sessions run? The PnP group I just signed on with has just started meeting (3 times so far), and we are trying to finalize a good time interval. …

Should One Create a Campaign Page for a One-Shot Adventure?
January 2011
Just wanted to throw in a WOOT to you good sir. The world needs more one shot adventure weekends! Kudos to your part in it Dyluth, and for your excellent idea for the OP. Are you inviting people to add to your new campaign site their own one sho…

Is it wrong to want to TPK your group?
January 2011
I was thinking that although my story related to a group of mid level adventurers, your group might have been lower level-- the longer the player holds on to one character the more they will probably be willing to go through to 'save' that character…

Is it wrong to want to TPK your group?

I sympathize with your idea of wanting to let the party get killed by playing dumb.... there is a way to get the best of both worlds. I would like to relate an encounter where I had no choice but to let the characters actions lead to all of them …

Campaign Forum Dice Roller
January 2011
Thanks for the links guys. The problem I have though is a practical one, in that its pretty hard to get everyone in a PnP group to use a website to supplement the RL sessions. Of course some will love it, and some wont want to use it at all in mos…

Looking for some advice

Nice site, my only advice is to not burn yourself out. Pace yourself-- unless you are the type of person who always has the time and energy to keep pouring into projects, in which case.. DONT pace yourself, Go nuts! Anyway, just my two cents, lo…

actually that could be really cool, if somehow you could add a button to the existing dice roller so that it knows to post your roll into a specific forum thread within your campaign. That way even DMs who dont use their campaign forums much curren…

Base of Operations: Castle, or Airship?
January 2011
That rule reminds me of a really old, but REALLY GREAT rpg called Paranoia. Each player starts out as the first of a clutch of seven clones. So yes, you will die ... a lot. Often from the actions or inactions of your fellow PCs! Or from notes they…

Background Feature: Ideas?

Some vaguely ominous shadows (since the art around the edges will be seen) projected across some bloodstained tiles/ stonework ? That way the imagination can fill in the blank part in the middle (what is casting the shadows). But yeah, there are…

Nice, sounds like you have your thinking cap screwed on tightly! Nothing like a little unexpected NPC interaction to keep the players interested. I am super psyched myself, just got word from our DM that our pen and paper session will be happeni…
