dungeons and dragons (D&D) anyone?

[Petra]

i sent them an XP bribe for proper character backgrounds including flaws and merits. (DM approved, of course)

convincing the one player who i am currently sticking it to proves to be more difficult. should i spank her?

Ah yes. You get to experience the fun mechanics of being the DM of the wife. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I have found that withholding sex works well to get them to do what you want though.

uhg, yes! this can be an entire topic on its own. damned if i do or don't sums it up.


don't get me wrong, my girl is amazing in all areas, but she can get feisty if i don't let her succeed on certain checks. like when i was roleplaying a greedy, stingy, asshole merchant. he wasn't a haggler, and could only be bribed monetarily for information. she insisted that it was i, the DM, who was being a dick, not Birdeth the asshole merchant.

seriously, she can get all pissed. "why can't i do X?! i should be able to do, Y, you're being a butthole on purpose!" sigh..

you might be able to hold out on sex, but you're the damned girl. it doesn't work as well for me. :/

Just make sure that if you have an asshole NPC (I have many), that NPC treats everyone the same.

I've played in groups over the year where the DM's other half always seemed to come out on top no matter what, or couldn't fail. I think because of this, I'm actually harder on my other half and he can't succeed. LOL

One thing that I'm actually pretty happy about though is he's really good at not metagaming so I can discuss things with him. Not like he'll remember the next day anyways.

haha.. yeah, i totally had him being a dick to everyone too. insulting the elf, and the gith, calling em ugly and all that. charging them big time for arrows and all that.

unfortunately, my girl has the mind of an iron trap. she remembers everything. but yeah, im fair. worst thing ive done is let her find a bag of holding last game. she really wanted one.. but everyone else got kick ass shit too. and they didn't know she wanted it anyway.

it paid off

I shudder to think what would have happened if you played an adventure that called for having a bag of devouring in it.

i must look that up. immediately.

 

[D-rock]

Basically it's a cursed item, really an extra-dimensional creature somehow linked to a bag, that resembles a bag of holding, but instead it ends up destroying the items you put into it and tries to suck the person that sticks their hand inside of it sometime later.

I could almost see the glare, like that of burning piercing daggers, directed at you from your significant other if that happened considering how much she wanted one. :1orglaugh

dude.. tell me about it. i really missed an opportunity there. fuck!

 

[Petra]

I LOVE cursed items. :angels:

 

[squallumz]

game in a couple hours! and guess what the closer cliffhanger is? an invitation to a social gathering (celebrating the heors for their services to the village baravoia) from count strahd. that outta fuck with em.

 

[D-rock]

I just looked to see why you haven't heard of it yet, and it seems that they never put the bag of devouring in 4th edition.

I LOVE cursed items. :angels:

I like them also, but I never used them that much at all. Maybe once every other campaign or so. I think it's more effective that way and they are more memorable. I also don't want to have them feel like I'm trying to screw them over, but they also should be careful around magic things. I like the ones they can't just get rid of or destroy easily the best, especially if they don't have ready access to spells that can break the curse yet. They often have the best and most amusing flavor.

I guess if my players screwed around trying to build magic items and weren't careful I might put some curses on them in addition to adding the in.


Where's ol Anders been the last week? You must not have been kidding when you said you sent him back to Sweden. :1orglaugh Did FreeOnes kick him to the curb or is he just on vacation?

 

[squallumz]

i just haven't look at cursed items at all, now that i think about it. ive done a few traps, but no cursed items. yet.

we got through our game earlier tonight. they killed the 2nd of the three hags and it ended with them getting the invitation to a celebration on the PCs behalf hosted by count strahd himself as i had mentioned. it made sure to mention the count will be there personally to say thanks.

vallo, our pirate githyanki looked up after my girl read the letter aloud with the surprising signature of the count at the end as a surprise (i printed out as a handout) and said (with a huge shit-eating grin), "will there be mead? strahds getting me fucked up tonight!" (they got 2 nights before the party.)

he's game.

my girl, the calculating eladrin says no way. not until they find the third hag and a missing person who just disappeared (they dont know it but he's the first vampire coming up. they know he was bit, but thats about it.)


sally (what a name -_-) the quiet elf, she don't care on way or the other. but she's easily influenced by the githyanki (her bf).


they fucking better go.

I don't have those particular dice, but i have a set of dungeon maker dice somewhere.

There is. I have them. The best dice in it is the resolution die. Yes/no. My players hate it.

i spent the weekend gaming with our new gaming friends.

friday was spent playing D&D. we got them in a forest of everlasting night. first encounter with an owlbear, werewolves and vampires are ahead followed by a couple getting caught in the act. the brother of the protagonist NPC is about to get caught in a lover's embrace with a very beautiful (and deadly) vampire minion of strahd. since the PCs have met them both in the past, this should be a twist.

saturday was spent in the pool, then a cute little drunk girl fondled my pokemon board game, spilled vodka everywhere, and made us play card games. i saw her beaver. the girl was wasted. a big porn fiend too. she even grabbed my girls tits. it was hot.

and tonight was munchkin, guillotine, and pokemon the board game.

I have a no drugs and no drinking rule during my games. While I don't care what other people do if it doesn't hurt others I don't like being around drugs, but as far as people getting drunk goes I found I put in way too much time, money, resources, and effort into games I GMed to have it then not be taken seriously because players in it got plastered over the session.

right, i couldnt see playing D&D drunk. lucky, it wasnt a D&D night. it was just a lets-hang-out-and-go-swimming-and-throw-a-board-game-together-night-and-heres-a-cute-drunk-girl-who-came-over.

lucky for me, she was at least entertaining. but yeah, no point playing anything serious with someone wasted.

 

[Petra]

We drink during our games. Actually, the players try to see how fast they can get me to start on the hard stuff. Record time is 5 minutes from the game start. Of course, in 2 minutes the swaffeling jokes already started so that game was doomed.

Normally nobody drinks enough to get pissed, but every great once in awhile one of us drinks a little too much.

I really don't care since I don't put much prep time into my games. Everything is done on the fly. Even NPCs since I have the core NPCs all fleshed out now.

Bandit Bob was a drunken creation....
