My white turkey chili is not really chili at all, I suspect, but it's still durn good. All you need is a big skillet with high sides. Brown a poundish of ground turkey and drain off most of the fat. Chop up some onions and a buncha garlic, add to the pan and cook til tender. Add 2 cans of...

I'm terribly excited about my Pathfinder Beastiary, and my uncle got me the book and the PDF. I also got a couple of fold up markable battle mats. We primarily game at one friend's house that has a dedicated gaming table, so I won't need them all that often, but I really wanted them for their...

Dice not currently being used are trained by sitting in a neat row, 20s up. Bad dice generally get a warning or two before being placed in time out in the dice bag, and then other dice get to play. REALLY bad dice go in the freezer. There's an ice cube tray for that very purpose. Our primary...

One of my best characters ever was Ohg the half orc, who had a Cha of 6. Ohg was great. I decided to play him as a stereotypically dumb half orc. But really, Ohg's int was pretty decent. Smarter than the average peasant, as he was wont to say. Ohg wasn't stupid, ohg was inarticulate. He...

I have indeed. I wrote a LARP. I wanted to larp, but I didn't like the rulesets that I could find online. I wanted something that was more like D&D. So I wrote the book myself. Now that my friends and I have played for the last sevenish years (one or two events a year), I'm in the middle...

In my pantheon, the God of Life and Goddess of Death are two halves of the same diety. True neutral. The Death aspect is responsible for taking souls to the afterlife, bringing souls BACK from the afterlife, and bringing souls to newly created life. Her clerics perform a lot of funerals. She...

I did fake blood in my theatre makeup class a dog's age ago. What you have looks good. My recipe is similar to yours. I would add a titch more cocoa and a drop of green food color to darken it a little more and dull the color a bit. It'll look more gory. If you ever need blood that you...

Yes, mint with coffee = very good. A most excellent recipe: a couple of pumps of the good white chocolate syrup of your choice, a tablespoon of crushed peppermints (the red and white swirly kind, or candy canes), a shot or two of espresso, steamed milk, whipped cream and a few more mints...

Well, now. ::Cracks knuckles:: Where to begin? I've worked in coffeeshops for years, and am generally considered quite the "bean expert" amongst my coworkers. You gotta question about coffee, I gotta answer for you! For drip brew, I like mild, light to medium light roasts. My favorites are...

Why, yes I did, thank you! I got my pathfinder book first thing thursday morning, had a blast at Tracy Hickman's Xtreme DM seminar, and while the games I played in were not quite as fun as the game you ran last year, they were still very amusing. My friend and I were also standing right under...

Short answer: YES. This will be my third year going, and I still consider myself a baby by gencon standards. Longer answer: Events: Most things are pretty filled up, but there WILL be some openings here and there. Even if you can't get into many games, there are still awesome seminars...

We run two games on one day, and a good half the time I'm DMing one of them. So I often have all my DM stuff and it makes the backpack heeeavy. If Im JUST a player... Folder with my character sheet and relevant printouts PHB and DMG (or Pathfinder book for all inclusivness) Spell Compendium...

It doesn't die. My father once, for some unknown reason, lopped the tip off a pine tree in our front yard. It didn't suffer, it just looked squat and kind of stupid. Christmas tree farming is actually a pretty eco-friendly thing, provided that not too many weird chemicals are used. The trees...

The first few pages of my name don't turn up anything related to me. Googling my comic name, however, turns up results that are mostly comic-related through the first few pages, and is the number one search result. That makes me smile big smiles.

Count me in the camp of "it doesn't count cuz I'm gonna do it..." My group is running a meatgrinder this summer. I may go through a dozen characters in the next few months. I have two already named, a lovable tinker gnome warlock named Spetzle, and a huge bag of hit points fighter named Meat...

We have these little plastic squares. They're an inch square and perhaps 1/8 of an inch thick. Easy, and they can be stacked to represent different altitudes. When someone is over someone else, the mini is generally placed off to the side of the mat...

The group that I run for has "seasons." The other DM and I take turns, each running our game of choice for a few months (3-6, mostly) and then switching. So although my current campaign is only about four months old, it's the third season of running it, and overall I've been running this...

For an average encounter area, defined as not meant to be be cramped quarters OR a wide open battlefield, the space should be as follows: Number of squares occupied by everyone involved in the fight x 4. Easy peasy. This formula, adjusted as needed for flavor or other situational factors, has...

My dicebag is a fabric zippered bag. I don't know what its intended purpose is, but it was a freebee from a drug rep that my mom brought home from a conference. It's rectangular and zips all the way around, so that it lays open like a book when fully unzipped. I love the size and structure...

I define railroading as one or both of the following: The players have no choices in their actions or how they deal with a situation. There is only one way to go, only one way to solve a situation, and only one plot to follow. Example: the one listed above with the forest on fire, etc. or...
