    The DM did IMPURE things to my PC!

    Yes, it sounds like it sucks. It sounds like the DM is trying to play you. It's possible, depending on the DM, that he is only doing that for some plot point for the moment and stop. It's also possible that the DM will come up with some idea to switch it, so that all players end up anti-Chaos...

    Artifical Intelligences, why do they allways go bad?

    The most obvious thing that *I* can think of, is that humans 1) try to control everything and succeed in destroying many things and 2) try to program machines with the most perfect logic they can so that they are more efficient. So, if machines get to the point that they have control issues...

    How "into it" do you get?

    I like to throw in facial and hand gestures sometimes. And of course voices. We sometimes use props. I had a friend once who was the caretaker for a Masonic Temple and we used to play Vampire in the basement, which was cool cuz there was a single lightbulb just hanging from the ceiling and some...

    Spectator Commentary thread for Ceramic DM (Winter 2005)

    board downtime Seems like I check these threads incessently these days. I noticed when I tried this morning (last night U.S. time) that the boards were down for a db merge. Of course I understand this is necessary due to the new server. But...it could pose serious problems for timing issues. I...

    On the fly or planned out?

    Depends on the players and my mood. I like to read anything I can that gives me adventure ideas, then incorporate little bits of this and that into the sessions. Of course, I think it's better to have a loose outline at best because players screw up the best-laid plans, or at least try to. On...

    Spectator Commentary thread for Ceramic DM (Winter 2005)

    Yeah Orchid, I was dead tired by the time I got mine up, with about 2 and a half hours to go. MY time problems came from work and baby detail (girlfriend in finals helle at college here). I was happy you got yours up. Needless to say, I always like to win :). But not by default, especially after...

    Spectator Commentary thread for Ceramic DM (Winter 2005)

    All I can say is, wow. A lot of imagination and a lot of talent. I have enjoyed all of these stories. Personally, I havent written anything except poetry since high school about 15 years ago. I signed up one night after drinking a bit too much wine. But I am glad I did, both from what I am...

    Ceramic DM- The Renewal ( Final judgement posted)

    Damned God 'It's not the end of the world!' Beth told me, a little exasperated. Hah. Easy for her to say. She didn't have to work on Labor Day weekend. Here it was, TGIF and all that, and I had to scrap my plans to set up the Christmas display at the mall. Christmas display! I don't know they...

    Ceramic DM- The Renewal ( Final judgement posted)

    I saw at least one other person post as a possible alternative. Should there be any other open spots, I will throw my hat in the ring and give it a shot. If not, there's always later :). A clarification on the rules and where to post would be appreciated. Aaron Blair Foren Star

    Name your favorite D&D book

    OK, I already posted but since I've been seeing other posts and thinking about it, I felt the need to add the red basic boxed set with B2-Keep on the Borderlands, which my brother and I got for a Xmas present in 1979, and thus began my role-playing at the age of 7. Happy 25 year anniversary to...

    Ceramic DM- The Renewal ( Final judgement posted)

    got to the FAQ I got to the FAQ, but all links off that are 404s. I posted on the 404 thread, besides that I will wait and see. Thanks for the link, and I will look for further developments. One day I may want to compete in this, but in Poland at the moment (GMT+1) and not sure if that will...
