    Memorable Dragons

    Alright, then. In this one campaign that I ran (the same one as with the White Dragon), the bigbad was a half-orc, half-Black Dragon named Serecc the Conquerer. Unlike most half-Dragons, his mother (an Orc sorceress of legendary power) actually forced herself upon a polymorphed dragon...

    Fantastic. Let me know when he gets back to you, okay?

    Memorable Dragons

    I actually have another dragon to tell a story about. Kind of. Are half-dragons okay? If not, I'll keep this one to myself.

    The popularity of monsters - part III

    Is it weird that, in 12 years of playing D&D, I've never encountered or ran a Red Dragon?

    What has been your geekiest moment?

    Wow, these all make me feel good about my geekiest action; specifically, that I spent $90 on A Game Of Thrones cards without knowing the system or anyone else who played. I never found anyone to play with, either. I tried to teach a few people, but... no dice.

    Memorable Dragons

    The party encountered one in a game I ran. He was an Elder Great Wyrm White Dragon named Vithsithnya, whom the party had dealings with before. The encounter was somewhat built up; the party needed things from him, and each time the price became more outrageous and more... suspicious...

    Which adventure to use

    I agree that they're better modules as a whole, but they're a little more complicated. A first-time DM is better off with something simpler (the biggest reason why I didn't suggest White Plume Mountain, my favorite module EVER). Another good choice is Lochfell's Secret. I ran that for my...

    Which adventure to use

    I'm rather a big fan of One Last Riddle, from the WotC website. It can be found here. It offers puzzlement, combat, and opportunities for good roleplaying. More details can be found in the downloadable PDF.

    If DMing was a job, how much should you get paid?

    I selected other, as I would accept a single lump-sum payment for a whole campaign. And my payment would have to be made in yachts.

    Excellent point. Saturday, March the Tenth it is.

    Albany Gameday VI - Sept. 9th - Thanks for coming

    Ohhhhh, I gotcha. Yeah, no, I think it's more a lack of maturity. At age 10 or younger, the average person does not possess the requisite maturity or, well, attention span to take part in a roleplaying game. Now, this did not stop me from playing D&D when I was 7, but it did prevent the game...

    Which is, in fact, why I chose early March. ...as far as you all know. [EDIT]: Ironically, I am one of those "young guys", being a mere 19 years old... However, since I attend college in Albany, this is a good thing. [EDIT-2]: March Madness doesn't start until the 15th, according to this site.

    Albany Gameday VI - Sept. 9th - Thanks for coming

    Alright, then. You said you would help me with choosing a date, so here goes: I'm thinking March. That would preserve the 6-month spacing between gamedays. Saturday seems to be the day, so that means the 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, or 31st. I don't want to wait too late in the month, so the 24th...

    Bravo, monseignur. As for the discussion of date, would it be better to continue this via E-Mail or Private Message, or should we go ahead and keep talking here?

    Awesome. And, now I am officially comitting to doing this. That's actually good for me that you'll be the one contacting George, since I'd probably stumble over myself trying not to screw it up. Oh yeah, when I did that, with the stuff. Yeah, that was a fluke. The closest to subtle I've...

    Albany Gameday VI - Sept. 9th - Thanks for coming

    I think this is definitely something I can do, and am willing to do. I'm not committing to it just this moment, but I will be by thursday. I am not subtle. [EDIT]: Also, would you be willing to keep your Albany Gameday website updated? I'd pass along the information, and even design the new...

    Okay, see, that was totally a maybe volunteering. I just need to know what I'd be getting myself into. In painstaking detail, if humanly possible.

    Albany Gameday VI - Sept. 9th - Thanks for coming

    Come to think of it, if George is still receptive to Gameday being held at Zombie Planet, that eliminates the hosting aspect of prep. There is, of course, the DM-finding part, but is there something else to organization? Because, if that's it, or if there is a small-to-moderate amount more...

    Albany Gameday VI - Sept. 9th - Thanks for coming

    I would host one in a heartbeat, but, the problem is, I live in a dorm, with only enough room for a single gaming group, and then only if they don't mind sitting on the floor. So, my hosting is a no-go.
