The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Whats the best thing your GM ever did? Specifically what are the best things a Game Master has done to make your game more enjoyable?
Like for instance I have had GM's bring in hand painted miniatures for all the monsters, but on the down side he demanded we all bring in miniatures to represent there characters and he said they had to be the right race/class and that they had to be painted, but still it helped draw me into the adventure.
Alright, so I was thinking and had a few more ideas as to what a GM could do to create a better game, but keep in mind that some of these rely on money and or time that many GM's may not have.
