Though I can't deny being totally apart from that archetype, if asked, I also wouldn't deny having a rather significant cold streak in me. But even if I didn't, I can't abide cheaters. I dislike playing with them, and I certainly don't want anyone breaking the rules of my own games, and gaining...

I'd remove a cheater on the spot if I caught them cheating, maybe after a warning if it's from a player I wouldn't have expected it from. Maybe. But I hate playing with cheaters, and I don't have any problem getting rid of them, in these games or any other. There are a number of known cheaters...

5th level. I think. It wasn't really a campaign worth remembering :p Most characters since then have started at 5th, rarely going beyond that.

I don't have any problem with vulnerable gods. But I wouldn't be able to pull it off myself as DM, and I would likely only keep at it as a player if the game was strong story-wise.

Does either one of the problem machines work when the other is not trying to access the network (turned off, etc)? It may be that the broadcasts between the two are interfering with each other. I had this connection issue at school, though I'm not entirely sure how it got resolved. I'm also no...

I'm currently on-again off-again playing a Cleric 7 with high stats (almost all 18-20), in a party with good-to-high stats all around. Aside from characters that tend to be quite potent mechanically, I don't really think our game is really much different than our lower-powered games. The...

It's also not unreasonable to assume that many Clerics will either possess an extra holy symbol, or will have such a symbol featured on armor, on an arm via tattoo, on a prayer book, etc. As far as I'm aware, having a holy symbol on a necklace isn't explicitly required. Indeed, such items have...

This is about as far as we go, when gender issues are brought up at all. We don't really worry about racism either; in fact, if anyone is likley to get riled up over someone's race, it'll probably be a PC. Nobody else really seems to care a great deal. Though much of this may come from not...

Reasonable to me. Though, despite this being but a limited look into the game, you might want to make clear to the others that you aren't exactly a 'destroy all Evil on sight' type of Paladin. The various acts of mercy, lenience, or mere expediency will no doubt crop up more and more as time...

I think I posted on one of these threads for one of my first few posts here. 'Course, I'm not even sure anymore where around 60 of my posts went, given how uncommon it has been for me to post, so I may have imagined the whole thing :p

Halfings don't appear much in our games, unless someone is playing one as a PC. I don't think anyone has ever played a Gnome. Judging how we tend to play halflings, they do tend to be short humans, only without the class diversity (rarely is a halfling not a Rogue...and that decision is usually...

Such characters are fairly common amongst people I've played with as well. I've often thought of how to curtail this character aspect - not so much the 'traumatic' (it usually isn't) background, but the intentional distancing from everything (even other PCs...often leading to situations where...

As I usually play somewhat healer-oriented Clerics, I typically choose Healing, and then whatever other available domain hits my eyes first.

'Wisely chosen' Little is gained by needlessly dying. Even in the case of serving as rear guard for evacuees, a Paladin should try to pull out when he can. A living Paladin is generally of far more use to the world than a tale of a dead one.

Ideally, I prefer a mix of the two; the ability to do 'anything' if desired, as well as enough prodding to make sure things don't end up getting out of control (or that any storyline stays valid). In practice, direction works better, as there tends to be very little really keeping the party intact.

Our current method is to use the sudden disappearance/mysterious portable hole/bizarre comical 'death' to explain missing PCs. I've never been much of a fan of that, though, and for my own games, I will likely either give the PC to another player, or just run it myself. Usually, there is no...

I voted for the one you clearly don't want people voting for ;) Though it is merely the closest summary.

I'm not sure there is any solid explaination of what happened then, or after (though I've heard a thing or two of a director's commentary about the series). There are a number of interpretations regarding the ending (and the characters and other elements of the series) scattered across the web...

The latter option is no more realistic than the first. Many opponents aren't going to give you the chance to say anything. They will simply attack. This is particularly true of orcs/goblins/other low level fodder, who are generally depicted as little more than feral raiders who simply take what...

As I like a lot of anime, it's hard to pin down my favorites. Still, these are probably my more noteworthy finds (in no particular order): Vision of Escaflowne (series): First series I actually bought. Mixes two things that appeal to me: fantasy, and mecha. One of few shows where I can't pick...
