Yeah. I'm here, I'm awake, I'm ready to work. I think that's about as good as it gets most mornings.

May 15	revised	How should GM deal with 'standing orders'? added 9 characters in body
May 15	comment	How should GM deal with 'standing orders'? @TimLymington, I meant checking his room for secret doors/traps. Assumably, he would be in a room wth a closed/locked door. It's a little unclear, edited.
May 15	comment	How should GM deal with 'standing orders'? Be careful with biting a player in this situation. It puts you on a VERY short road to hurt feelings.

May 15	comment	How do I fix this plot hole? totally this. Make them worry about "oh, crap! Zombies!" You can wonder about the philosophical implications of any random thing, but it's much harder when a zombie is trying to eat your braaaaaaaains!
May 8	revised	How can I motivate my fellow players? added 1058 characters in body
May 8	comment	How can I motivate my fellow players? @mxyzplk, no, The second (bringing the other player's characters into the plot) is something my character did as a player. My character did everything he wanted to do (and was largely the center of attention), but he would use the resources of other characters to help him. Since my character would then have many conversations 1-1 with other characters, the other characters were pulled into the plot. It did also break the mold as I usually play characters that are more supporting cast than lead character.

Apr 19	comment	How to communicate to the players that an encounter can be solved also through diplomacy? Game theory at it's best. We do what gets the best results. Write a good answer/question here? You get rep. Kill bad guy in-game, get XP. Accomplish a task through pure RP, get XP/gold.
Apr 18	accepted	How does a DM correct the balance after accidentally giving the players too much gold?
Apr 18	comment	How does a DM correct the balance after accidentally giving the players too much gold? Definitely like the "use gold as plot-hook" motif here.
Apr 18	comment	How does a DM correct the balance after accidentally giving the players too much gold? Fairy Gold (or Ravnos gold in our experience) did not work well. The Ravnos had a strong-box full of horse manure that they used their illusion power to make us think it was the tax for the road we were guarding. Funny that my character bit the "gold" coins to make sure they were legit only to have it turn to horse manure after they drove off and were out of bow-range. I'll think on cursed solutions.
