There is a well-known useful tip for all GMs - Each of your players should have a moment to “shine”. In other words - every player should have a moment to use their abilities, to be useful.Now, in 3rd and 3.5 editions of D&D it was quite simple: Clerics could heal and also fight undead, […]

 
I am currently writing down ideas for my campaign and I would like to ask you a question: do you come up with ideas for your campaign by a sudden impulse or is it more like: you sit down and write? Some may say, that great ideas should be a result of a brain […]

The holidays have begun and I am going to DM a major 4th edition campaign. But before I begin, I have to prepare it. I was given a time of two weeks, which would be quite a lot if I wasn’t leaving etc.So, the first thing I did was writing down my Campaign Plan, […]

Lack of half-orcs was one of the biggest disadvantages of newest DnD edition for me. I am a real orc-barbarian-lover, absence of my favourite race really hurts. However, I am not going to write about my sadness (cause in fact it was just a little irritation). Instead, let’s concentrate on what such change means, […]

 
I remember a friend of mine, that I used to play with, once said: “Every GM sooner or later would like to create their own system.” Now, is he right?In the moment that I am writing this, this friend has created his own system: both mechanics and setting, based on Roman Empire. He has written […]

A fellow blogger, ChattyDM yesterday started an interesting contest. A prize is a “near-Mint, complete, used-once, copy of AD&D’s 2e Planescape Setting”. It is worth about 50$ now. I guess I will do best quoting Chatty’s words:
I’m asking you to submit to me (and to the readership in general) a series of short easy-to-implement tricks […]

 
I will be honest with you, my dear readers. I haven’t played a RPG for like two months. This really sucks. I often talk with the people I play with about RPGs, I read about RPGs, I write about RPGs, but I don’t play them. It is so depressing…Of course I am a bit overreacting […]

Please forgive me for the break in posting.
The reason is quite simple - strong wind + storm + rain = no wireless internet connection. So, as I had no internet I couldn’t post anything on the blog.
I guess I should always have few posts written and timestamped in advance, so when situations like that happen […]

Well, another ‘ramblings’ post, a fight club article coming soon!
There are many Dungeon Generators, like this one. To be honest, I have never used any of them and I don’t intend to. Let me tell you why I think such utilities are almost useless in RPG.I guess it depends on what you want from role-playing […]

Once more, a rather short post. Quick thought, I would say. I usually write such things, when I don’t have time to write something longer, but, also, less text in posts leaves more place for comments, ideas of readers (see Psychological motives of a character’s choice). So, let’s get straight to the point.Today, as I […]
