I'm awesome.

Because that would mean the player is being a passive-aggressive jerk. "Oh, you want to make things happen in the game too? Fine, well, I'll just have my character not do anything while you tell your little story then." Man, any player who acted like that in a game I was running would get kicked...

I use a little wooden bowl I picked up at a thrift store for $1 - I use metal dice, so it's to keep from banging up the table.

Well, I'm running an AD&D campaign, so I guess I'd say OSRIC.

If I might ask, what's the age range of your group? I'm wondering if part of the problem is people being too young to know how to drink within reason.

Ugh - I played in too many groups in college where all that caffeine and sugar made the players too excitable and goofy. That's why I refuse to play in games where soda is being ingested. (Okay, I'm mostly being a smartass. Mostly - the guys at my college games who'd show up with a couple...

(Emphasis mine) Not play with idiots, maybe?

I'm reminded of KenM here.

"Sorry" to "hear" "this".

Oooh! At that price, I'm grabbin' it. Thanks for the heads up!

I believe that "lul" is an irritating version of the already irritating "lol".

A DM who's too inflexible to change or adapt a written module on the fly to fit the game's needs is a remarkably bad dungeon master.

I went to Guardian Games out here in PDX, and it was a damn good time. They had a big turnout, and I sat in on a game of Rogue Trader, which I had been curious about. The game was fun and I really like the system and setting - I think it's finally motivated me to plunk down the $60 bucks next...

I rebuilt a lot of my 1e collection from Powell's. They're awesome, and they ship. Powell's Books - Used, New, and Out of Print - We Buy and Sell Oh, and I just checked - they have Against The Giants for $9.95, so there's a start!

Yes, that is probably the case. All of us folks who enjoy the older editions are just blinded by nostalgia and unable to see that some of the rules we like are actually badwrongrules. Also, read and embrace my sig. GOOD LORD, GET THAT IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY OUT OF THE HANDS OF THOSE DODDERING...

Oh, come on! So, you used to like the game, but now you refuse to play it just because you lost one night? Between that and the reasoning for some of the games in your first post, I have to say that it kind of sounds like you're a bit of a sore loser.

Quite welcome! :D

I think I have a chart that may help you out, Joe - check your Yahoo email.

I can't remember offhand which module it appears in, but I seem to recall at least one of the DL modules instructing the DM that some NPC's just can't be killed until later in the series - if the party manages to kill one of those NPC's, he miraculously survives/escapes to reappear when he's...

Ever read Moorcock's Elric series? One of the awesome things in there is The Ship Which Sails Over Land And Sea - a ship which can magical sail on land as easily as it can water. The land ripples and flows in front of the ship, solidifying again as the ship passes. So, yeah - load that bad boy...
