Could you let me know your email? I have a quick question for you...

I just watched Ladyhawke and Beastmaster II. Dawn and I are having a Saturday cheese festival!!! Ladyhawke was actually passable fantasy, though undeniably cheesy. Beastmaster was a a great cheesy, campy romp. Appropriately 80's with the villain dying with a fabulous ending line. We are on...

Pastiche I thought the criticism about pastiche was rather misguided. I have not read your book, but I know for a fact that most series of fictional novels are not going to allow you to create game resources of any real magnitude for the world depicted therein. Additional sources must be used...

'Tis ours I see thy game. We abscond with thy remote and thou proposest to hold our camera as captive? This sort of aggression will not stand, man. :) Bring it with you the next time we meet. I am hoping to host some D&D gaeity here at Autumn Ridge. Let us know! Thy beloved Lord and...

First of all ammending...

That's cool To Thormangi: I just like building things that last in the game. It seems that I am quite the exception! :)

Curious Inzeladun Master, I am curious why you interpreted my original question as a choice between characterization and plot? Never did I mention plot. In fact, I assume in all games that there should be a very strong plot. The question was whether people enjoyed longer campaigns with more...

Here we go again Uh-huh

A question. I noticed that there is a desire to play lots of different kinds of games here. It made me wonder about campaigns and short adventures. I prefer long campaigns where my character develops and creates things that stick around for a little while after the character is gone. I am...
