in A Friendly Hello October 2010

Welcome to the Portal!

in [thanks] It's the little things that count October 2010

Hey Mike, I took a look at Le Ballet, and I was really impressed. I'm glad that you got the game listed! I hope it helps!

Two will enter, one will leave! (Seriously - if there are two PCs that have been generating friction, make them duel to the death, but have a provision to bring one of them back.) I am Spartacus! (A bunch of dangerous monsters - but only one is…

Players are the big trouble... especially when they start complaining about them being underpowered vs. another character being overpowered. Case and point: Player A (me), has a D20 class which uses assault rifles, a Soldier, if you will. He does…

I'm here! My Sci-fu is just rubbish at the moment. I can't think of any other images that need mocked up after the Matchsticks: that seemed the most obvious to me, but I ran out of ideas real fast :(

in Older Player Looking to Form or Join Group in Central PA October 2010

Hey Ironhead - I don't know if this helps you at all, because I'm not located in Central PA, but if you'd like, I'd love to try and work something out over the webbernets. I'd like to think I'm mature, seasoned (I've been playing 3e/3.5e since the …

That sounds awesome, Gnunn! I wish I were playing in a campaign like that!!

...I am thinking a group of hyper-competitive good-sports would make for an interesting group. Of course, my problem is that I inherently don't like competition (I'm a big fan of everyone getting along - it makes life easier for me).

I'm somewhat alarmed to know that someone has cut my jib without telling me! (Regardless, thanks!) It's not dishonest at all: in fact, if anything, it's more honest than leaving them in. It's more honest to yourself, and to the campaign as a wh…

in Props -Coins or Tokens October 2010

...If you get your players in the habit of eating their AP, then you switch to cardboard tokens... Well, I think Pavlov can explain the rest...

Again and again, I am thoroughly impressed by the candor of our forumgoers. Rather than resorting to slings, arrows and mud, it's nice to be part of a community that has the intellectual stability to harbor discourse amongst friends and peers where…

No, no, don't get me wrong. I do hear klaxons, but these were wailing klaxons. Like Banshees v. Wailing Banshees, or Toast v. Wailing Toast.

...For some reason, I just got an image of a flashing red light in my head, followed by the wailing of klaxons, and a somewhat garbled voice saying "We're going to Retcon 5! Dive dive dive!"

This is incredibly excellent, Dusk! I'm quite taken by how organic it feels. I salute the approach you've taken to this. Now I just need to find some way of implementing it!

Most Excellent! Muahahhahahaa! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! That sounds like a great Idea Dusk. I look forward to investigating your project with due thoroughness.

Well said, Arsheesh! I wish I had the time to be as eloquent as you guys when posting, but alas, not at the moment. Dusk, I hardly think that Wyrmshadow is derivative in the sense that you're meaning. I mean, if we take the word at face value, …

I think it largely depends on the way you're approaching the campaign: Personal pride I think may be the biggest factor of it. Seeing something blossom and grow out of the creativity of the DM and the group, something which is wholly unique to the…

Wow Arsheesh... that's either an extremely lucky fluke, or a carefully planned masterstroke. I'm enthralled! I think I remember you mentioning that you used the Cartographer's Guild to create your maps? They're absolutely stunning. I think one…

I suppose I'm lucky with the setting I'm running: if there's ever an element I don't want showing up in the planes, I can just seal off access to all portals to that place. And make it into a plot device. Sometimes, though, it's essential to add…

in Props - Dice loot October 2010

That's a great way to go about it, actually. If I thought my group were able to handle it, I'd try and implement it. I find myself tinkering with the systems on an as-needed basis. They've accepted the minor changes thus far, but it was like brea…
RaseCidraen
in Age of Legends gets a Makeover October 2010

Ahh, I think that's a very interesting way of going about it - not really "including" it, or explicitly stating what it is, but taking a more implied approach. Yes, the name is there, and the general attributes as well, but it's more of a non-entit…

in Props - Dice loot October 2010

I really like that system! I'd love to mimic it if I ever could be arsed to start a real live gaming group, but I've always been horrendously awkward at DMing in person, so I don't know if that'll ever really happen, but maybe it will, some day. I…

I've always been wary about outside inclusions like that, but the beauty of nations is that they are meant to be conquered and rebuilt, so it wouldn't be too far of a stretch for some sort of rival demonlord to take it over and make it dissipate. I…

in Props - Dice loot October 2010

Dusk, that's absolutely amazing! I would love to adapt a similar system, but I think my players would revolt. ...also, particularly because they aren't gaining levels as fast as they think they should, what with me having no formal "Exx Pee" syste…

I think that the simultaneous updating is spectacular, and vastly improves the Portal as a whole. I think you guys are paragons of this new age of Campaignosity!

Straydog, that was quite poetic. And I think it's very applicable to everyone on OP.

...I love what textile formatting does. It's delicious! I think Dusk was saying that we're all about to be given a "big slice of pie", and that it was "Great" news! Or maybe it was Great slice of Pie, and Big news... Or perhaps Penguin News. My …

Er? Is that a good Censored, or a bad Censored?
