    Scarred Lands! Burning Wheel! Numenera! It's a Big Name Kickstarter Bonanza!

    He is totally going to kick you out of the club.

    How often do you game?

    Yeah, we used to play "D&D once a week, but we'll play board games instead if we don't have everyone" and that just turned into longer and longer stretches where we never had a full table. We're also a bunch of storytime gamers who tend to shy away from characters who either randomly disappear...

    Whilst in college: All Week Long - Assassin Sunday Afternoon and Evening - Floating RPG Monday Evening - Battletech Tuesday Evening - D&D Wednesday Evening - Rifts Thursday Evening - Magic Friday Evening - Vampire All Day Saturday - Gaming Club Settlers of Catan, and Magic the Gathering...

    The Conpocalypse Has Been Scheduled

    Yeah, the last two times I went to Gencon there was just so much going on in so many far flung places, it just felt like I was never able to accomplish anywhere near as many of things I wanted to. Every choice I made or thing I tried to schedule meant that I had to sacrifice one or five or...

    How often do you game?

    After about 5 minutes of headscratching, I figured out that you meant RPG... Boardgaming, about once a week. For RPGs, if I'm lucky, maybe once every two or three months.

    [Feb 2016] What Are You Reading?

    We're reading John Scalzi's "Lock In" for my book club. The current stack of non book club books to read is too large to consider listing. :P

    usercp and XP

    Not asking to get rid of it, but is there a reason to keep the old XP information down there?

    D&D 5E Party Optimization

    Yeah, ignoring questions of campaign limitations and gunning straight for party optimization, I would agree that you probably want to play a front line fighter. However. My preferred method of play is to look at it as a combination of what intermeshes best with the existing story and group...

    DMs Guild How Many DMs Guild Products Have You Bought?

    Me too. I snagged a couple of the higher ranked free(ish) ones that emerged that I thought might be useful to me. Thirty Rules of Horror and... I think a crafting rules one? But #1 I don't have a game at the moment, and #2 with ventures like this, I tend to like waiting for other people to do...

    Why do you hate meta-gaming? (And what does it mean to you?)

    I think that maybe a narrower explanation, that at the same time allows for a broader range of uses is Clarke's Third Law. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." It would be easy to imagine Henry the Eighth seeing a wrist watch smart phone and being able to...

    usercp and XP

    Is there an easy way to swap out the old Latest XP section at the bottom of usercp.php with the newer XP Awards and Laughs information?

    Dark Text on a Dark Background Tutorial

    Is there an easy way to put a "use default colors except from mods" option into user settings?

    On The Value and Use of Narrative Structures in Play

    That's kinda like asking where on the rainbow one color stops and the next one starts. It's easy enough to say where it's definitely 100% of one or the other, but all you can say is that the middle ground is a bit of both.

    Scarred Lands! Burning Wheel! Numenera! It's a Big Name Kickstarter Bonanza!

    I was seriously contemplating doing that and throwing in my old group's pet NPC. So freaking tempting

    Why do you hate meta-gaming? (And what does it mean to you?)

    I don't understand why the idea of storytelling in an RPG is such a huge point of contention to you. Especially since there are so many role playing games that flat out say that storytelling is part of the game, and there are so many people who play them who are interested and invested in that...

    Why do you hate meta-gaming? (And what does it mean to you?)

    Not to answer for her, but as these same sentiments frequently mirror those of my best friend, I think I know what she meant. When my friend says it, he means that he considers himself both a role player and power gamer, but character and role playing choices trump and outnumber the numeric and...

    D&D 5E Dirty Secrets?

    Whenever I do that my players tell me to cut it out.

    X-Files season 10

    We'll see if Home Again has the transition back into being FBI agents that I was expecting. If it does, shame on you Carter and Company. By far my "favorite" aired-in-a-different-order complete and utter screw up was for the Clerks Animated TV Show. They test screened the episodes and...
