    "....so we tossed the jerk out...."

    Last sunday, a guy showed up and told everyone he was changing his character's sex to male, because he didn't want to play a female anymore. I (the DM) said no, unless he found a spell or item to do that then he would be staying female. He said he would leave if I didn't let him change. I...

    Sigh ... more anti-D&D nonsense

    Actually not to get too off track. I had a conversation with a guy who used d6s (monopoly dice) and ran DnD without books, while he was locked up. He was explaining how he changed the rolling conventions to deal with the single die type. Basically it sounded rather GURPSy to me. Pretty funny...

    Movie Zombies...Not Really Zombies?

    Zombie 101 Ok, since I love me some zombies, I'll explain that just this once DnD has got it backwards a bit, and a bit more right than the movies at the same time. While the ghoul and the zombie are related the basic differences are this. Ghouls are not cannibalistic. They eat long dead...

    GM's What do you do to prepare for a game?

    I start by designing the first major villain, then I have the party make characters together. As they make their characters I associate them in some way with the future actions of said villain. From there everything just falls into place.

    How much equipment can a PC carry?

    My new character is a weaponsmith, he specializes in longswords and has made 5 that he carries, but they are in a bundle not Rambo'ed out all over his body.

    Given Unlimited Time, I'd play/GM...

    Sounds pretty sweet! You could take a little side trip to siberia to be carried away by Ithaqua.

    Suggestion on a mount for a Dwarf Paladin?

    Deep Roth would be good for underdark, and if I remember correctly Deep Roth are smaller than the above ground ones.

    How much equipment can a PC carry?

    Bah! right back at ya, it wasn't weight I was talking about it was size and shape. The only thing you listed that's as long as a long sword is the M-16. Clips don't stick out all over like swords, and bows. My dad's an ex-marine, I'll ask him if he wants to have to lug around two M-16s...

    Player vs player hostility

    Rock on! \m/ I would like to add that I'm cool with people "kissing and making up". As long as my game runs smooth, hate who you want to hate.

    How much equipment can a PC carry?

    Try and climb anything with all that stuff protruding off of you. You might have the potential weight limit, but let's be real. The occasional "armed to the teeth" character is cool, but enough is enough. Also, when a character with that many valuables (weapons are expensive to the poor)...

    Player vs player hostility

    If, in my games, one player can't be civil to another player, they will find things getting very difficult for them. I don't require them to be buddies but if you threaten another players enjoyment of the game, your gone! It's kind of like my view on cheating. I play with adults, not children.

    Imagine, no Battlemat...

    Imagine? I do that every game I run. I find battle mats make players less descriptive, so I stopped using them. Works for me.

    How do you fix Crappy Spine Syndrome?

    Let's not forget that sometimes content matters more. My paperback SLA Industries book has that problem, as do many, but I would pay for that book (with that problem) ten times over before I would replace half of my hardcover WOTC books. I do agree that quality is of the utmost importance but...

    Things you would gladly buy...

    I know I'm so freakin' geeked to incite some Ultra Violence for Mr. Slayer! Sadly I haven't read any updates from Angus in a while, I hope Cubicle 7 works out. So as not to railroad: I would like to see a One Shot book for a Battle Royale RPG. Actually I have plans to do it Unisystem, but I...

    does hit point loss = damage

    Actually, not to be argumentative, but there are physical signs of suffocation. Skin discoloration being the most immediate. :p We landed on the MOON!?!?!
