Roleplayer, lapsed blogger, and full-time dad.
Started playing with AD&D 1st edition and started GMing with AD&D 2nd edition. Ran D&D 3rd edition, D&D 4th edition briefly, then became a fan of indie games and the OSR. Particularly fond of GMless and short-form games because they fit nicely into a busy schedule, and are very good for enticing non-gamers into the roleplaying hobby.

How do I get my PCs to not be a bunch of murderous cretins? I think you need a thesis statement then, and the rest of it should tie directly to it in either obvious ways or by hand-holding the reader along inobvious connections. If I were grading this, I'd send it back "incomplete" since it lacks meaningful structure necessary for the reader to process it as a coherent whole. |

How to plan to avoid combat deaths for NPCs that aren't obvious railroads? So you're not so much looking for suggestions for contingency plans and escape routes, you're looking more for in-combat powers, magic items, and combos that enable a reliable escapes? So less "build a secret backdoor in his base" and more "equip him with Pellets of Sudden Obscurative Smoke and Boots of Retreating-ness" kind of thing? |

What software utilities provide support for playing Microscope? Mind maps have a central node. Microscope timelines do not have a central node, so -1 for that. |

How do I get my PCs to not be a bunch of murderous cretins? Having read all this, the advice content I can extract amounts to one sentence: "Violence is inherent to many players' conception of FRPGs, so maybe you want to have a talk before play begins to make sure you've all got the same assumptions about the level of violence." Is that about right? |

How does bull rushing work in D&D Next? This has motivated me to get the playtest packet. Their signup is much easier and less buggy than when they first launched… |

How does bull rushing work in D&D Next? The contest is part of the effect line of the feat, so it only triggers once per use. How often can you use the feat? If it takes an action or similar, there's your answer. |

What to do with a player who undermines the DM? "Cannot kick the player out" is never true. You might feel like the alternative is worse, but you are still choosing to keep him. |

How can one make a DIY “Silent Dice Tower”? That's not my concern, no. I mentioned my misgivings, and you've replied with a considered reason it might fit here, and that's plenty to see that it's an answer in good faith. :) |
