If you haven't played Carcassonne, it's a little like dominoes in that you lay down tiles that have to match up edge-to-edge. Each tile has 4 sides, and each side can have 3 different "features": A road, city, or meadow (R, C, or M). I think this is a pretty simple permutation problem, but...

We'll be there, most likely coming up on Tuesday. Nareau

If I were you, I'd try two things: 1) Ask your DM to run a game of Dread. It's a horror game specifically designed to kill the characters. And it's insanely fun, and easy to prep for. http://www.tiltingatwindmills.net/dread/index.html 2) Offer to run something that's high-action...

Here are some old threads discussing it: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=144845 http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=19635 When I ran my last campaign, I found Wall of Thorns to be far too powerful. I talked with my players about it, and came up with some good ways to nerf it. I...

How monstrous should it be? worth1000.com might be a good place to start. Nareau

I'm somewhat amazed nobody's mentioned this, but: Tip your bartenders! Especially if they're serving you sodas for free. Give 'em a dollar or two for their efforts. Being generous with the staff will mean they remember you as a good customer, and nothing says "cool" like being friends with...

While I had thought the rules were extensive and comprehensive enough to cover just about any contingency, the rampant stupidity of some folks never ceases to surprise me. Explain to your DM that lava is defined as molten rock. Think about it--all rocks were at some point lava. These rules...

Have you played Hollow Earth Expedition? Do you know how these two systems compare to one another? I'm getting ready to start a new campaign, and it's a toss up between these two systems. Is Savage Worlds a fairly "generic" system, or is it tied strongly to a specific campaign world or genre...

In the final session of our most recent campaign, the populace started to revolt against their leaders. These leaders were force-marching them through teleportation portals into Greyhawk, to escape the return of Ogremoch. Nareau

No, only my reputation. :) Dread was a little difficult to find at GenCon. I spent a while looking for it, and eventually found a copy at some indie publisher booth. I finished reading through it yesterday. There's some excellent info in the book, but some issues (like combat) need to be...

Congrats to the winners! For anyone interested, I've put together an Amazon Listmania list that includes all the winners that I could find: http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/listmania/fullview/RL8CUI4KOHEDU/ref=cm_lm_pthnk_view/104-9385870-5965532?ie=UTF8&lm%5Fbb= If there are others that I...

Dining area of the Embassy Suites, 9am. We've still got two more spots open, so feel free to bring another player... Nareau

Got you down for the punk. Can everybody email/PM me your email address? I'll send out character questionnaires tomorrow. nareau@the5thcircle.com Nareau

Heh. If I ever get back into MMO's I'm going to do whatever it takes to use only the most proper English whilst fragging my enemies. You know what bugs me? When people ask questions like "what does pwned/1337/etc mean?" on the Internet. You're on the Internet, mang. Look it up. Nareau

That's a very frustrating situation to be in. What do you want to do in the future? If you want to keep throwing parties of any caliber, I recommend not making a big deal out of it. I throw 2-3 parties/month (events at a local nightclub) and they range between 40-180 people at each one. When...

Well, that doesn't surprise me one bit. I'd be pretty upset with my roommates if they were pooping in the dining room! :) Advice? Move out. If you're marrying this woman, you two should have your own place. Although to be completely honest...your description of your fiance makes her sound...

When the PCs step through the secret door, they will enter a 25' by 25' room where they see a statue of a bird that appears to be made of gold sitting on a pedestal. The room is illuminated by burning brassieres that emit clouds of sweet incense. Thomas will pause and say, "Ha Ha Ha! I am...

RttToEE was the first real game I ever ran. It's one of the best modules I've read--very few errors, good continuity throughout, and a huge amount of material to work with. My copy is thoroughly marked up & beaten up. Part of what made it so good was Monte's messageboard. There was lots of...

I have a slight preference for the Round Robin game, but I could go either way. Nareau

Dang. Oh well. Thanks for the heads-up. Nareau
