Or your DM. Seems like we've found the problem, really. Your example of how mystery-games is the give-away here. If your games are like that, then they're not really mysteries. Or your DM just doesn't know how to run a good mystery game. This doesn't mean he's a bad DM, it just means he's not...

My fiance was working at my FLGS in New York City. She's the hot nerd girl behind the counter. I swept her of her feet, and we moved in together in the following months. We game together for most of the gaming we do. She and my close friends get along perfectly, so she's in my D&D home game, and...

This thread has so many concepts flying around, you can make 10 or so forked threads which could separately tackle pieces of the issues. I, however, will adjust the original post, and a few things said. There are games for you. There are games shining through constantly, from all sorts of...

I'm not sure if Fantasy Flight still carries it (it was a Green Ronin adventure path), but if it's still around, get the Paths of the Damned adventure path. It's probably hard to find, but it's one of the original adventure paths published for the game, and is in my opinion the best introduction...

I think these things are only true if you're playing World of Warcraft: The MMORPG: The Game. The world is so much more than that in the MMORPG. If you take out raid instances, crafting in 10 seconds, and Barrens chat, and view Dun Morough as something you can cross in more than 8 minutes of...

Haha, no worries :cool:

That's so brutal... It's ok, we'll be around! :D First of all, we basically can. I certainly don't want to speak on behalf of all publishers on this matter, I myself being a very new face to the game, but the improvements I personally seek to the GSL (mostly a +6 Enhancements bonus to the...

A medium-sized dining room table an arms-reach from the kitchen. I leave tons of space behind the DM screen, I set up computer speakers hooked up to an iPod for soundtracking. 4e has cut the need for constant rules-reference at the table. That, combined with power cards, puts so much room on the...

*cough cough* ;) Thanks for the update, Mr. Rouse!

That would be awesome! The forum could use some more non-edition wars thread.

Hmmm... well, being the DM, you can do whatever you want. I would simply get your players out of that situation and justify it using... well, again whatever you want. The ogre could not use cone of cold. That might save them. I'm sorry, I'm probably not being very helpful. Let them die. If you...

The minority.

This is a good point, even though it's not as obscenely expensive as some believe (cheap eating if you're up for it, cheap efficient transportation). However, you also have to consider that when visiting a place like New York, it's not a one-stop trip. You can also visit the ten billion other...

Frankly, I believe that all great settings would be nothing if they're not thematically strong. A lot of people talk about settings having great flavor, but a lot of this is apt use of a strong theme that runs throughout the game world. Game worlds are almost entirely defined by them, even...

Best answer. It's part of what is sometimes deemed innappropriately the "Points of Light Setting". It's not a campaign setting, so much as a design framework provided to DMs who'd might like to craft their own world, but need a canvas to paint on. It's supported by the world design info in the...

Haha, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and I'm not condemning her for it, but view? I wonder how she could be more clear ;) Great bags, Paladinwife. Hope you get a chance to make a bunch more some time in the future.

I can't wait. I wanna see what they do with a new type of controller. There has to be shapeshifting in there somewhere though.

I severely hope, without any sort of real chance, that we get it here in New York City. Jesus we need a good convention. It's not like we don't have tons of great hotels, an incredible convention center (the Javitz), and are the capital of the world ;). Seriously though. NYC? Think about it. :D

Very cool story! I've just started a new FR campaign, but I wanna throw my characters a dragon some time pretty soon. I love Draconomicon, and I really wanna give 4e dragons a shot. I'm debating about what to throw them though, though a Black or White seems most appropriate for the adventure.

Personally, when you cite an experience based on what happened in college, I believe that's offering up a personal anecdote as the norm. It is kinda odd how many people view drinking and gaming with drunk gaming. I too have had tons of experience with drinking and gaming but have only had one...
