GM's Tip of the Week

So, last week I talked a little about exotic characters, mostly of the centaur variety. Those are tricky, but mostly humanoid, at least from the waist up. So, the logical next step is to point out that occasionally, players will get it into their heads they want to play an

GM's Tip of the Week

Unusual Characters; balancing on four legs – or no legsBefore I get into this, I’d like to remind everybody that we have scheduled downtime on the 10th; the Portal and the Oracle will be down for maintenance.If you’ve been GMing for very long, you’ve probably had someone

Hello, fellow Portalites!Christmas has passed, and I hope you have all come out of it with your sanity more or less intact. As always, I have a whole bunch of new Kickstarters in progress for you to look at!Mostly things I hope would be of use to those

GM's Tip of the Week.

Hello, fellow Portalites! I’m still taking a shot at classes, picking them apart for you guys. This week, it’s rogues, those loveable pains in every paladin’s butt… or, as some prefer to be called, ‘specialists in property transfer’ … and most of them get immediately saddled with trapfinding,

Looking for Players: Swords of Justice (5e)

Cruvis is currently looking for one player to join his 5e game, Swords of Justice. This game has been running for 15 years. He is in need of a player who is cool with the pace, reading, and writing involved. He is willing to accept new character concepts into the

GM's Tip of the Week

As I said with the last one of these; I’m looking at classes right now. Having more or less covered paladins, I’m going to take a look at Wizards this week. Wizards seem to get almost as much mixed review as paladins; people either love them or hate

GM's Tip of the Week

I’m going to take a closer look at character classes for a few weeks, and I decided to start with paladins. Buckle up, folks, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride…Not many classes provoke as much party-based drama and strife as the badly-played paladin, and very few people

GM's Tip of the Week

We have a lot of odd conversations in the car, Andi and I; some of them random, and then there are the days one of us stumbles over a thing with gaming, and has to mention it to the other. This time, it was Andi, shaking his head over an

Kickstarters of Note

Hey, fellow Portalites. Got a couple of interesting Kickstarters for you this week; and a note for those who … well, let’s face it. No one /needs/ to know this, but I’m the sharing type, so I’m going to tell you anyway. While Bones IV has ended, it

GM's Tip of the Week

As a GM, you’ll eventually hear pretty much everything from a player, but the first time you get a player who wants to play something really different might just make you do a double take. Most times, thankfully, ‘really different’ is just going to mean ‘something outside of that

GM's Tip of the Week

Loss in a game is tricky. On the one hand, it’s just a game, right? Who cares if a player loses a character or two here and there, right? Just make another character and move on. Usually, it’s not that simple. The player may have spent weeks working

Game Looking for Players: Swords of Justice (5e)

GM's Tip of the Week.

I’ve talked about communication, and taking notes and a bunch of basic stuff, and now I’m going to talk about another important skill set for a GM. Consistency and responsibility. Yes, it’s your game, you call the shots, you can decide a lot of things and you
