Um. I am totally new to RPGs. I've only participated in ten or so campaigns. I suck as a player. My suckiness is magnified a thousand times over when I try to be a DM, or whatever you call it. Fortunately, I have patient friends.

I write the campaigns I run. I suck at that, too.

Nov 18	comment	Thrown Object vs. Swarms Thanks. While waiting for responses here on stack exchange, I finally just asked the player to roll (this is a turn-based, online adventure), and he rolled an 8. So, all this for nothing really. Although, I decided the barrel was filled with flour and so, though it missed the swarm, there's a concealment aspect going on now!
Nov 18	comment	Thrown Object vs. Swarms Hahah. Thanks. This is a weird game. Started as 4th ed and when 4th ed rules get in the way of fun, we tweak. Makes it hard to keep track of rules, but allows the players the ability to feel like they can be creative and not limited by "the man."

Nov 18	comment	Thrown Object vs. Swarms Sorry, I should have been more specific. This is a 4th ed game, basically, with a few tweaks. Thank you, though. "GM discretion" is I guess what I wanted to hear. I really like the idea and want to see it be awesome for the player.
Nov 18	comment	What is this player planning? Robobot do you think @Tacroy was joking around? Or maybe he plays with people with a sense of humor? Geez.

Jun 4	answered	When and how should I get the players to cut back on their out of character chatter?
Jun 3	comment	Skill Proficiency vs. Character Backstory Hahahahah. Come on! Everyone knows all sailors are drunks! I wish I could +1 twice for the good response and the clever combination of the examples. Thanks.
Jun 3	revised	So I'm finishing a campaign…what now? Update
Jun 3	comment	Any good premade campaigns for beginners? Ah, I didn't see the 3.5 tag when I read the post. Makes me wonder if it was there originally or added later. In any case, sorry for the confusion. Just trying to be helpful.
Jun 3	comment	Skill Proficiency vs. Character Backstory @Ravn +1 for great comment. Thanks.
Jun 3	comment	Skill Proficiency vs. Character Backstory Ah! Yes! The "bonus equal to the difference in DCs" is perfect! Thanks!
Jun 3	comment	Skill Proficiency vs. Character Backstory Thanks, especially regarding not selling the skills short and taking a longer view of them. As far as not needing to roll, if I have two PCs and they both want to roll something and that will contribute to their fun, I'm never going to disallow it. Thanks again.
Jun 3	comment	Skill Proficiency vs. Character Backstory Thanks. Two questions: 1) Would you just use the basic DC table and make it easy for one and medium/hard for the other? 2) If the two are actively rolling against one another, even if I set the DC harder for the novice than the expert, what happens if they both succeed the roll?
