Shhhh.... Be bewwy, bewwy quiet. I'm hunting wabbits...

Today is a good day to BUMP!

For some reason, one of my players absolutely despises Howlers. He plays the melee fighter with not-so-great saves, so the PC looks like a pincushion after a howler encounter. The guy hates if I even mention them. I keep threatening to send them to the Howler Dimension, especially now that...

As I said in the "gnomes" thread, all the races in my homebrew have a theme. With halflings, the theme is "freedom". They're generally athletic folk, a little more prone to wanderlust than some, but they know they'll always be welcomed home. Halfling families wouldn't dream of keeping a...

Korimyr the Rat: Creepily enough, we have the same concept of gnomes. In my homebrew, each intelligent race was made by a god who valued a certain theme: dwarves get duty, halflings get freedom, etc. Gnomes get wisdom. They like to know how things work, how they fit into the world. They often...

1. How many female roleplayers do you have presently in your campaign(s)? 2-3 out of 5-6, including myself (I'm the DM, generally). 2. Percentagewise, with how many females did you share your hobby in your own gaming history so far in comparison to the males? Maybe 33%? I'm fairly new to...

This is cheesy, but here goes: I had a player whose cleric constantly, without fail, spent his time trying (badly) to shoot the local wildlife. Being nearly killed by shape-shifting fae didn't help. Being nearly killed by the other party members didn't help. So, I figured I'd drive the point...

I really liked Sunshine, even though I'm not all that fond of Buffy. Charles DeLint is lovely, but I have to take him in smallish doses to keep all his characters straight. I like Mercedes Lackey's earlier stuff (especially the Vanyel ones), but lately it seems as if she's been reusing the same...

Pleasure: Re-reading the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, then stealing the latest novel in the So You Want To Be a Wizard series by Diane Duane from my baby brother, and then The Left Hand of Darkness again. After that, I'll give Xenocide by Orson Scott Card a try. I loved Ender's...

Hello to the other Andrea! We should form an alliance and take over the forums. What fantasy stuff do you read, by the way? I always like hearing about good books.

Another one here...dum dum DUM. Name: Andrea. I'm 19, an English major in an itty bitty Atlanta college, and female. I was always really curious about D&D, but the gamers in my high school were not exactly people I wanted to hang around with. One of the things that I adore about my boyfriend...

The "no willpower" thing is an excuse, plain and simple. You're being lazy, which is more of a turnoff than being overweight. Women are far more likely to overlook a few extra pounds than a "I'm not even going to try to fix something that bothers me" attitude. Now, that's firmly in the realm...

Hm. How about other gender differences? Maybe a -20 to all rolls if a male character takes a hit to the family jewels? I rather like that idea. Magic Missile is a force spell that never misses. Just aim for the codpiece.

Her mother's a leatherworker, so miss gnome wizard wears well-broken-in dark brown leather pants and jacket with an abstract red and blue floral-ish design on the side-seams and front. There's a few spots where the chemicals she likes to mess with have discolored the leather, but the...

I'll add <i>The Destruction of Sennacherib</i> by Lord Byron...the first stanza got itself stuck in my head years ago and never got unstuck: <i>The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the...

diaglo: I'm not sure, but it looked as if those guys had already found a group they were interested in. I may be misinterpreting the replies, though. darthkilmor: I try to game about once every two weeks, more often if time permits. The new schedule will, of course, depend on new people's...

The title says it all. I'm currently running a homebrew game, but will lose one player over the winter break and two others next semester. I'm a fairly new DM, but I love the game and am quite flexible. My games usually have a mix of action and roleplay, nothing terribly angst-ridden or...

Hm. Well, I'm a girl, and one out of my 3 regular players is a girl, and we've had a female guest come in and play, so I guess it's 2.5 out of 5 people. Really, I prefer the girls (and Jack, who almost counts) as players. The male contingent, consisting of my boyfriend and another guy, tend to...

My wizard's familiar is a weasel named Sleek. Anyone ever watch Rugrats? (I may be betraying my age here). Anyone know the character of Angelica? Basically, that's Sleek. She's prissy, vain, and snarky, especially about other people's fashion sense, and feels the need to primp in front of any...

Can't believe no one mentioned MASH. "Suicide is Painless", heh. Also, the theme from Samurai Pizza Cats! "There's Speedy Cerviche, the leader of the bunch A heck of a fighter, makes a heck of a lunch!"
