so minecraft. the single player is free but the online portion isn't (10 francs / 13$ CAN)

it's a lego sandbox where you punch trees for wood, cows for leather, pigs for steak and chickens for feathers.

where you use your horadric cube to attach cobblestone to a stick and create a sword.

where you build yourself a dirt hovel so you can hide from leaping zombies, skeletal archers, spiders the size of horses, zombie pigmen, and the hissing horror itself: the creeper.

a game where you surround your fortress of solitude with a pit of lava, surrounded by a pit of water, surrounded by a pit of cacti, surrounded by a wall of fire.

and then you build a giant, floating, inverted ziggurat that reaches into the sky just so you can have a nice place to put your garden and not have to worry about having it explode on you.

welcome to minecraft and remember to reinforce your wallsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~

here's a picture of my cruddy castle taken a while ago. it's missing the ludicrous defenses the current version has.
3rd ed SRD, character sheets, errata & free modules
4th ed test drive - modules, starter rules, premade characters and character builder & character sheet, errata
Free maps and portraits, dice, printable graph paper, campaign managing website, image manipulation program + token maker & zone markers

The extent of my knowledge of minecraft…

I am looking forward to trying it out.
Advice for DMs: When you are ad lib or improve DMing don't self-edit yourself. Some of the most fun you'll ever have is by just going with whatever crazy thing crosses your mind based on what your players are doing.

Advice for Players: When your DM is ad libbing there are bound to be plot holes and inconsistencies that crop up. You'll all have a lot more fun if you just roll with it instead of nitpicking the details.

Previous Advice Show

Advice for DMs:
Always dangle a lot of plot hooks in front of you players. Anything they do not bite you can bring back and bite them later.

When considering a new house rule ask yourself the question "Will this make the game more fun?" Unless the answer is a resounding yes don't do it.

Advice for Players:
Always tell the DM not just what you want to do but also what you are hoping to accomplish. No matter how logical the result is it will never happen if it simply never occurred to the DM.

"That's what my character would do" is not a valid excuse for being a disruptive ass at the table. Your right to have fun only extends to the point where it impedes the ability of others to do likewise.

 Because I only screw around with the free version...

Spoiler: Show

   A six-story castle I built in about 12 hours... It would have been much cooler with torches and such, but the free version only does so much...

so my computer froze while playing minecraft

i reboot and i see my save is reading empty.

gulp.

so i reload and find...



it seems some chap has decided to fire a moon laser at my house.

you see the one, lone chest at the sea level floor? i lost 4 of those. full. of. stuff.

some inconsequential like sand and gravel. others... not so much. like my obsidian. and hellstone. and my 80 iron bars. or a few hundred red sand. and my 3 saddles.

and my dock. poor boat... it never even went for a single ride. i called it "Bateau".

i did rebuild my house and i the upcoming Oxyggurat was still safe. top layer is 75% complete. only need to do the last lip, build up the walls and add the roof. then it's onto detailing and i can finally refeal it.
