Well, yes. I'll take it as fact that the OP was offended. And I'll take it as fact that the OP thought the store clerk was rude. But the entire point of my post was to offer another perspective. The store clerk could, in actuality, have been rude. Or the OP could be thin-skinned. Working...

Peon clerk, although not anymore, thank God. To be fair, though, the management left it up to us if we wanted to stay after-hours - it was optional, not mandatory. There is truth in that. However: Not polite, or just rude? There is a difference. People are saying he was rude, and I'm...

I had the pleasure of working retail, and it was the closest thing to Hell I can imagine. It did, however, give me a new perspective. There were a lot of good posts; this is one of them that sums up my thoughts. I am not a customer's concierge. The agreement is, you come in at store hours...

I guess I'm obligated to post, simply to be the lone voice of criticism. I bought Warhammer due to the excellent reviews and comments it had received; it was my first experience with Warhammer. After buying the book along with a few supplements and the official adventure, I sold it all at half...

Dykstrav, let me say that you raise a lot of good, valid points. I agree that WotC's adventures (and products) are feeling kind of "genericized and flavorless" to me. I particularly agree with the problem of players wanting to play the half-dragon, half-pixie, half-orc multi-classed...

Touche, good sir. Touche. Whoopsie! :o

In the example I'm discussing, it's adjacent. Alright, good to know. I find it kind of odd that the book doesn't just come out and say, "You can be hit by AoOs while moving through friendly spaces." I say that just because I'm sure my players will give me grief about even that small leap of...

One rule situation currently has been popping up in my gaming group, that being: If an ally of yours is in a space threatened by a baddie, and you move through that space that your ally occupies, and moving there would normally provoke an AoO, does the baddie get to hit you? Basically, if...

:D The rules bringeth the light!

I probably should've clarified more on my take on sam500's point. He stated that, "I'm noticing more and more GM's turning to the rules too much to decide what happens in game." I'm a "consider no" GM if it ever goes against the rules. I turn to the rules ALL the time, with my mission to have...

Then I consider that screwing the players over, since if they're in a standard D&D world (Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk or whatnot) and in a large city (Waterdeep or Sharn or something) and I arbitrarily say I don't want them to have something, that's as bad as me "enabling" them and giving them...

I'm a "consider no" DM. I rule in favor of the rules over myself or my players because I value objectivity and want things to be fair. Maybe not nice, but fair. The reason for that is primarily due to the way I enjoy playing - I want to know that the DM will be an arbitrator for the rules...

Since this thread is already up, I want to also ask: What happened to Zogonia? Where did it go???

Alright, so I was reading this thread and I became confused about one thing. From the descriptions on here, I envisioned that you could walk to the edge of Sigil, the edge of the ring, and look down from there. I was going to ask what happens if you fall off. Then, someone mentioned that...

This has been discussed a lot previously; I've gone back and read the posts on occassion to see what people thought about psionics. Personally, I think it's outrageously unbalanced, as do the rest of my players in the group, even including the player that loves psions. I think it really comes...

NPCs talking to NPCs seems like it would be very difficult, yet at the same time I think that having NPCs talk to each other is an integral part of D&D. I'm always the DM and I haven't had the chutzpa to pull it off yet, although one of my players actually ran two PCs at the same time, and had...

Thanks for all the comments and insights thus far. I'm glad you brought that to my attention; I'll check it out.

I think that's hilarious, since I'm guilty of having done that, and I always feel so bad afterwards like I'm cheating the players. I try not to do that simply because of the guilt. I also find that to be so true. It's one thing if they're fighting a monster, but if I'm using a spell that...

It's the latter. I've enjoyed Heroes, but it's beginning to aggravate me and - now that I think about it - some of the people I game with as well. When I watch Heroes or something similar, I'm ready to get the show on the road. I guess I'm just impatient. I don't enjoy the plodding pace or...

A lot of early morning replies. At least early in Arizona. I wanted to do some quoting, but pretty much everyone has said something noteworthy. The situation is similar to Eric Noah's in that overarching plotlines just tire me. Shilsen clarified it when he said that it implies a certain...
