    penalty for cheating

    The first time, I would give a warning. The second, friend or not, they would probably not be playing anymore (unless others/the player in question can convince me otherwise). I make it fairly clear that I have little tolerance for cheating; I don't use the rules so that they can be broken. If...

    Recognizing an enemy (goblin, ogre, etc.) on sight

    Re: Re: Recognizing an enemy (goblin, ogre, etc.) on sight I have to go with this. For example, I am sorta tempted to create a setting where 'monsters' are unknown; no Orcs, Goblins, Displacer Beasts, nothing. The only 'monsters' are creatures of myth and religious dogma, and great power...

    WOTC poll - Loathsome Villains

    I picked 'Uses Others for Personal Gain, but really, none of the options were really satisfying; I couldn't even pick the 'best' one, because they all have their place in the scheme of villany, and can all be used to create very good villains (or not-quite-villains, or even some heroes). And...

    [BoVD, BoEF, Vile] Where do you say "unacceptable?"

    I'm willing to use just about any of those. About the only control (if you will) I would put on them is the level of description, and the 'quantity' of such acts ingame. I would also never use any of them simply because I can; there would always be a reason for it. But for the most part, the...

    Do you exclusively play a single race?

    Almost exclusively human, with a rare dwarf thrown in. Nothing else really interests me much (though halflings kinda interest me), and I just about hate elves. Could be because I was usually surrounded by them, and they were, of course, stereotypical elves...meaning, half of them were nobles...

    Fantasy Anime Movies?

    I haven't seen Violinist of Hameln suggested yet, so.......*suggest* :p Unfortunately, I cannot really rate it, as I have only been able to watch one episode; it's somewhat difficult to find (for me, at least). However, if you like Bards, the series could prove entertaining. I like what I have...

    Campaigns you *don't* want to play in

    I avoid half-baked games, which, unfortunately, is all we have in my group. Nobody (save maybe myself, and that's a stretch :p) is willing to go to all the effort and work needed to create a campaign that is more than just a concept or idea. Which just isn't acceptable to me anymore, as every...

    Do you kill PCs of players who do not attend a session?

    'A' session? Probably not, despite somewhat grouchy threats to that effect ;) Such PCs usually disappear, and gain no XP/treasure. More than one? Well, things get risky after that. I must say I have very little tolerance for unreliable players; if you say you are going to play, myself and the...

    DMs -- How Open Are You to Suggestions?

    I'm quite open to player creations, of just about any variety. I'm quite confident, however, that I will never actually have to deal with such a situation. I started taking more of an interest in DMing mainly because everyone else outright refused to do so themselves. And I can't see them...

    Blood Crazed Paladin Fights The Man

    Re: What do the other Paladins plan to do now that they have prisoners? If they oppose execution, their options are rather limited. They can take the prisoners to a safe location, prey their word is their bond, and release them in hopes they will turn from the darkness. This may either come...

    Diplomacy and PCs

    Technically, no character, PC or NPC, can use Cha based skills vs. a PC. This is actually stated somewhere in one of the books, if I recall; the player is supposed to be in full control of the character at all times, unless magic is involved (charm, for example). However, if your players are...
