Topic: Dear Ogre
Subject: asdf
Dear Hero on HGTV,
Hmm dekorating cassel is very easy da Ogre way. Use lots of hides from keeled enemees and their skulls. Ogre like putting skulls on western side of cassel, hides on southern side, and freeform bone sculpture on north. Leave eastern side open, maybe put some potted plants der. Is all in Ogre's new book "Fung Shway da Ogre Way" Hope dis helps.
Dear Ogre
What kind of games do Ogre children play, assuming there are Ogre children?

Greetz and Salutations!
Glad to see you joined up and are posting away. Skari's warned you about not feeding Grugg, so I'll give you a heads-up on the Infamous Facelick. Eol gives 'em, newbies brave enough to post get 'em. Here's a super-absorbent towel. It'll be handy soon.
Hmmm...you don't appear to be the "flower" type, so here's a pint of spiced mead on my treat. Cheers!
Enjoy your stay at Red Dragon Inn responsibly. This really is a second home to bunches of us Innmates and we like it fairly clean (if a bit chaotic). So get to posting, make friends, and vote each day at the home page.

Topic: Favorite Magic Item
Subject: Yay, magic items!
I had a 2e elf wizard who found a set of artifact yellow dragon hide armor (hurrah for house rules!) In addition to the armor bonus, it didn't interfere with spellcasting, made me immune to fireballs, dragon fire breath or like effects and could actually spout a fiery blast three times a day. Jeez it's been years and unfortunately my DM kept my sheets--I can't remember any other powers it had. *nods*
Another player in the same campaign ran a kender who dual wielded Wands Of Wonder. You don't know the meaning of "trepidation" until this kind of randomness pervades your game sessions.
"Where'd all the butterflies come from, and exactly HOW does this help us against the bugbear war party?"

Topic: Keeping PC's alive
Subject: On PC deaths
As a DM who in the past has been a player at the limited mercy of kill-crazy DM's, I hate killing PC's. I recognize the time and effort that players put into their characters and plan adventures for challenging rather than perilous play. I make it known fully that actions have consequences and in all but a few cases this works better than giving full HP per level (which I do anyway) to keep characters alive. My players keep their eyes on the prize knowing good choices get rewarded and they look for those solutions to get the rewards.
As a famous comedian once quipped "You can't fix stupid." There is undeniably a kind of Darwinism that weeds out players who fundamentally don't get the game or who treat RP'ing like it was logging on to WoW. Hopefully players who behave stupidly in-game and get their guy killed either learn from the mistake and improve, with help from DM's and players alike, or they drop out and pursue other hobbies.
My general advice for other DM's if your game has "mortality issues" is to make sure your players have all the pertinent info they need to make informed decisions, for it is in making better decisions that PC's survival goes up. If they're not asking the right questions, nudge 'em. Pause the game and recap what they know, so they know what the know, if need be.
When a player proposes some stupid action, I usually clear my throat emphatically and kind of do the I-gotta-migraine temple rub while saying "Really?" They quickly get the hint.

Oh, do your reptiles have names? My Nessian warhound is called Mr. Chompy and he's enjoying his new mithral chain barding. Oh that reminds me I have to take Mr. Chompy to the vet because he's still scootching around on the rug and setting it on fire. I loved that rug! It tied the whole room's decor together.

Blame WotC for puttin' the short buggers in the Monster Manual instead of the Player's Handbook. Well, the _first_ PHB at any rate. I have to buy the second PHB to play a Gnome? Oh, Joy! I have to buy the _Third_ PHB to run a Psion?? Such Rapture! I have to buy the second Monster Manual to have the Metallic Dragon stats? Be still my beating heart!
Hey, why not combine the fourth PHB (coming soon!) with the next MM and call it "Unwieldy Rule Conflux: Are You Feeling Boned, Yet?"
