Re: Anybody daring to swear he doesn't roll concealed? ;)
...I explain further... I just tried to split between what is objective and what is not in this topic. And I do it in order to blend each one point of view with the pure technique of the facts and find the direction I was searching for with my very first question: "Anybody daring to swear he do...

Re: Anybody daring to swear he doesn't roll concealed? ;)
Erm, where has anyone stated differently? I thought everyone was just sharing how they did things and why? I don't think anyone here has come out as saying that doing it any other way is somehow objectively wrong, unless I missed something? Colin Yeah, agreed! Isn't it amazing that such a subjectiv...

Re: Anybody daring to swear he doesn't roll concealed? ;)
It's a matter of style guys, not of objective qualities that the game gets or not if you do in a way instead of the other. What's your DM style? That's the question. Do you prefer to control the game by your creativity or to treat chaos (a.k.a."dice") like an oracle for you to interpret? I...

Re: To map or not?
Thanks Galadrin you explain very well my feelings in "Going Mapless". Right now I was playing "Legend of Grimrock" which I suggest to anyone here and after reading your article I thought "Yeah, indeed! Isn't the map of the dungeon of Grimrock itself unveiling right in front ...

Re: To map or not?
The thing is that as gamer I live both the lives of player and Judge. Thus I expect both the feelings of each role. I feel that watching the map of the setting my players would previously live that sense of mystery and curiosity I feel when I look at fantasy worlds maps myself, and it motivates me a...

Re: To map or not?
I'm tempted to start out with essentially a blank map, then add stuff as the adventures happen. Drop the characters into a new corner of the world for each module or adventure and let the world slowly develop. Yes, that's it! It's the same thing I thought times and times. It gives me the feeling of...

To map or not?
I'm a map fan. When I first read The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings their maps actually gave me a ticket fro the ride I took reading. And I'm a good hand as well in making maps. But somehow, on the point of sketching places, drawing mountains, woods, hills, plains, choosing corners for cities and v...

Re: Besides Appendix N proper, what inspires your home-setti
Suggestions from my childhood: summer afternoons, shrilling cicadas, the silence of my home surroundings, the wood...everything able to get me back to the days I discovered those red, blue and green magic boxes! And old movies as well: Conan, Willow, The Dark Crystal, Legend, Labyrinth... The flavor...

Anybody daring to swear he doesn't roll concealed? ;)
I'm all with the spirit of "embrace chaos" (a.k.a. "roll in public") but I cannot stop being frightened about that, having played years by the traditional DM canon. I confess that I find fully correct and part of the "key of the thing" to keep the Judge's rolls secret a...
