What can I say? I'm really good with faces and lousy with names, which means I should get along on the internet like a salmon gets along with a bear. There are some people who are just more memorable than others, and a couple of your characters like Silverlocks were among them. The trouble...

A little spring cleaning of the cobwebs is always a good thing. If you figure out how to keep things tidy, let me know. I'd swear there's a trick to it and I'm the only one who doesn't know it.

Few would remember, but who could forget? And for the last two months I've been wondering where my brother in arms had been up to. Good to see you Xane! I agree with you, there's a lot of old names I miss: Randalla, Beowulf, Celestia, Necromancer, Wildwood, Silverlocks, and several others...

Tassarina? Now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. Course I suppose I could say the same for a number of others. Afraid I can't help you anymore than to echo your own sentiment.

Apple pie! Wait, poison apples? Maybe crab apples, or just apples? Guess that depends on the mood. Depending on the character, I will be yelling to stay off my lawn. Assuming it isn't evil, then I will smile when I say it. ;)

I didn't mean to lump everyone into one basket and label anyone. In this particular situation, what I pointed out isn't even an analogy since we are actually talking about a virtual room full of virtual strangers. You may be quite right about this being a hobby for introverts, but I think...

http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/basics.html Just because you haven't done it doesn't mean you're screwed. Buddy up with someone and give it a shot. And I doubt the link will help on its own, but it is a damn handy reference for anyone that does D&D 3.5E. DOA style...

Setting some sort of measure is easy enough, everyone just create their characters with stats. Without some form of stats it becomes completely random, or as close to it as a programmed dice roller can get. I shared an idea similar to this with a friend the other day. It was called "Friday...

The crux of the issue does revolve around escapsist entertainment. People like to try new things once in a while, regardless of old favorites. Not only are we playing to be entertained, but some of us are playing to entertain others as well. Trying out a new character or two is simply a way...

So what you're saying is that I have to ask before I can use this voucher for a new strain of cholera epidemic, and these permits for an undead horde rampage through downtown...I won't even bother with the 'Zilla rampage, or the alien space bats supressing the laws of physics that allow gunpower...

Not to derail your advert, but I'd be curious to know how many people have run games beyond that level without house rules of some kind. I'd think that customization of the game is a common occurrence.

Congratulations! You just started a new vampire trend. Anyone know if there is anyone actively playing the average dork who is secretly a vampire? Simple genius in there. The only drawback is that once someone finds out the secret then the jig is up.

You sir are correct, that is a long run. Now if we can find someone that predates me I wouldn't feel so damn old. :D The problem with looking at the morality of vampires as the litmus for good or evil is that there are plenty of apologist arguments for what they do to live. We don't walk...

Mmm. Cheddar...and maybe some strawberries and a nice glass of pinot noir. Good thing dinner is almost ready or I'd be in trouble. The three team approach is a good one. It offers more than just two options for people and opens up a lot of opportunity to slide over to another team as the...

Contrary to recent sentiment, I think this thread has been a calm rational discussion. There's persuasive words on both sides, but no real argument involved. Moreover, no one is banning anything. Two themes seem to keep coming back over and over. The first theme is whether vampires are good...

True, Ruthia. We all get a little silly or full of ourselves sometimes. A reset switch in the form of a clue-by-four usually gets us back to rights. I think everyone knows that there is a particular type of inconsiderate player that we're talking about and not every person who ever played a...

Snert... Oh my, I think I'm getting a little misty with nostalgia. I was beginning to think that the old words had blown away like dust in the wind. Apologies if the last post got a bit dense, I'm not supposed to write after 2am lest I run the risk of injuring myself or any potential...

If anyone gets this far down and actually reads this as well as everything before it, as I did, I salute you. The following is not intended to add fuel to any fires, but we're a society of disclaimers in this day and age making it only fair to say that anything I say should be taken as being...

Yes ma'am, and I do believe I resemble the primary perpetrator of that particular offense. At least from from 1996 until around 2002.

Just out of curiousity, why exactly would you need to carry it in the Tavern anyway? If there's no fighting, you don't need it except for show anyway. Might as well just carry pretty pistol crossbow at that point.
