    Who played Basic D&D all the way up through all of the sets?

    I started in 1976 with the original box set of three white books. From there I went straight to AD&D. I had never heard of the Basic (etc.) Box sets until much later (in fact I believe that Advanced came out before Basic). I have continued to buy each edition as it comes out (with the...

    The Future of Star Trek (revealed)...

    the answer to the whole thing is given by the people at bringbackkirk.com. In fact they have a nine minute movie trailer there that has a much better story idea than anything I read in that stuff at AICN.

    [Trailer] I. Robot

    Saw the trailer, looks okay I guess, but other than the title I'm not sure what this movie has to do with the book. I was hoping for something better than another action flick.

    What happens when a character dies in your campaign?

    I don't know if you have ever gone hiking in bear country with a dog or not, but one of the things you aren't supposed to do is let your dog to run free. The reason for this is that if a dog finds a bear there is a very real possibility that the dog will come high tailin' it back to you with an...

    What happens when a character dies in your campaign?

    In my campaign its "the TWO R's" - raise 'em or replace 'em. Replacements start at 1st level and they either learn fast or we're back to the TWO R's.

    Correlating age and start of playing polls

    Mazes and Monsters was released in 1982 and the whole D&D is evil thing has been going on for as long as I can remember. I remember one group that claimed that when your character reached eighth level you the player were brought in to the inner circle and taught the real black magic. Even...

    RotK won the Oscars, but which of the LotR movies is really the best?

    not an easy choice, but I have to go with FotR. For me, much of this has much to do with the House of the Stewards of Gondor. Boromir has been my favourite character since I first read the books almost 30 years ago and the movie did nothing to change that. I have always loved the scene where...
