Do you have a list of games that people have offered to run? I could probably run a couple of Spirit of the Century and/or D&D 4E games, since I'm in the area.

I don't think that D&D is evolutionary.... I don't think that the game itself needs to change for it to remain profitable... It just needs support with supplements and the like... RPGs are a very personal thing.... different people like different things.... In the example of board games...

My wife-to-be started frequenting my gaming group when we started dating... This was because she was jealous that 2 of my ex-girlfriends were in the group....

You could always try to emphisize the role playing aspect... Kids have been playing cops and robbers/cowboys and indians for centuries.... Role playing is also used in modern day psychology.... As mentioned above, give them a book (PHB?) and have them read it... let them see for themselves...

Several years ago there was an article in Dragon magazine which presented somethink like this.... granted it was for 2e, so it didn't make use of the NPC classes... However, it basically said that given the assumption that with a world's population with roughly 10% being adventurers, and a...

While opinions on alignment may vary greatly, I believe that those who wish to play neutral as the balancing of (good and evil) acts are going to quickly become evil.... I don't care who you are, willingly choosing to commit evil acts is evil... and if you're of the opinion that doing a good...

I suggest lots of brain food and mental notes...

My interest is piqued!

There is always the contact poison coated gold pieces.... Traps designed specifically for muntaneers is tough... I would expect him to have many escape routes, concealed weapons, and probably a heavily trapped quarters where people couldn't get to him if he was sleeping... His desk may have a...

I think it has more to do with giving the player the illusion of being able to resist these things... If you use a resistance score (like AC) then the player may feel as if he is not in control of what does and does not happen to the character.... While if the player rolls the die, he has the...

I think it all depends upon how magic works in your game.... Some books show magic as being composed of symbols or some form of geometry... others show it as some form of mathmatical equation.... The question you should ask yourself is how does the magic take effect? For the clerics, you have...

I agree with Psion as well. I usually play 2e though the DM uses many of the 1e and 3e adventures.

True. And that's where the allies help protect your power structure.... A leader can't do everything himself, which is why chosing the right allies is so important..... The leader of a kimgdom doesn't have to be the most powerful, just have the most powerful allies...

I don't think it is necessarily personal power, but rather experience.... The more you've been around and know, the better you are at overcoming obstacles.... That's why there are NPC classes like the aristocrat and commoner... these people don't face dragons to gain experience... the do their...

So would people who know how to make bombs, can crash vehicles into large quantities of people, buy a gun and go around shooting people.... Independently minded (i.e. people who are not afraid to use the power they have) are destabilizing.... That's why solid social structures appear... to help...
