The definition of Karma includes the idea that your current station in life is in part established by how you lived in your previous life or lives. In the other direction, how you live this life establishes the basis for your next life. Going just by your second qualifying question, "Do you...

Beer, domestic: I like many of the brews from Samuel Adams. I prefer them dark and strong. While I don't particularly care for the odd varieties, I am partial to one at winter time. It's called Cranberry Lambic. Beer, foreign: Guinness Stout, draft with the widget in the bottle or can...

As DeusExMachina said, not necessarily. I love beer. I just don't game with it.

I said None. In the 2 1/2 years I've been in our group, I think 3 or 4 beers total have been consumed. We play every other Friday night after work. I don't ever recall anyone prohibiting alcohol at the game. We just don't usually do it. All but the host (most always the DM) must drive, some...

Let me twist this just a bit. Imagine there's a book in two versions. One is richly illustrated and the other contains only essential graphics such as maps and diagrams if any. The illustrated book is priced higher than the unillustrated one, though assume for this discussion the prices on...

I've been playing D&D for about three and a half years. I have lots of 3.5 books, as well as a couple 3.0 accessory books. I've never read any of them cover to cover. However, I've read much of them and have paged through all of them. I run PCs; I'm not a DM. I just created a new character...

Looks like I'm going. :lol: I have hotel reservations for a couple of nights. I can't wait! I'm sure I'll have other questions re: RPGA games and the convention itself, but the info you provided helped greatly. Thanks Sam!

Going to Colonial Williamsburg, VA. We leave on Dec. 30 and return Jan. 1. (Hmmm,,, interesting url on that one...) http://www.history.org/ One of my characters in a previous gaming group was a paladin who was also a blacksmith. One of the people in the group (a DM but not for that...

Lalato and Glyfair, Thank you so much! I'll look at the links over the next day or two, and I'm sure I'll have other questions. You've given me good starting points. Wow, the Greyhawk material alone just took 5.7MB. Lots to read and much to prepare. Still, I'd like to think I could go to...

Here's a thread for that (^_^): http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=183614&page=1&pp=40

I've never done an RPGA event. I've seen the RPGA pages at the Wizards site and would like to participate in their games, but never found an event near me that looked appropriate. I can certainly roll up a 1st level character! So what actually goes on in one of these? I'll confess to having...

When I look at the consupport site, what strikes me is that the event is suitable for the completely inexperienced and the expert, but nothing for anyone in between. If you want to learn D&D, you can. If you're into environments well outside of the core game, you too can have fun. I see...

Real answer? Never stop caring about doing things right. You want a nice girl? You want good kids? Do it right, or you won't do it at all. It's all economics, baby.

In my first group one of the DMs was female. Smoking hot would definitely describe her. Excellent brain and very nice lines.

The DM is taken, if temporarily. Let 'em have some fun. The other players should spend time outside of the game in pursuit of getting laid. (Translated: Guys, go out and date some girls.)

Yes I'll second that. (I drive it every work day.)

I'm looking to play Talislanta Fourth Edition in the NoVA area. I'm in Oakton. I've never played, but want to do so. Anyone got an opening? Anyone want to start a game? Alternatively, I'm open to play via IM/IRC or Play by Post. Thanks in advance!

Wow. Lots of DC/Northern VA area folks. Every other week I drive 30 or so miles (60 minutes) from work to my one game. The return home is 27 miles (30 minutes). The ride to the game is usually a bit tough, as Friday evening traffic can be awful; the first half hour is usually stop and crawl...

Let's take it a step further. How do you adjust from game-to-game with people who are unable to attend? Assume you have 6 regular players who have a probability of attending a given game of P = .9. The corresponding probabilities of getting n PCs to play is shown below. Only 53% of the time...
