    RPG/D&D terms and phrases that are no longer clever or amusing.

    Most awesome :) I would LOVE to know the techniques used for the Tangent Graph ;) I usually just start speaking in abnormally large words (or confusing terminology) to "break" the tangent spell :) One of my favorites, when asked a question on tangent: "Not knowing positively, I feel a...

    Telling others how to roleplay

    I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but here's my spin on this: I've encountered this problem before with a certain player in a game I was running. He constantly played characters that acted against the group and didn't participate in group activity. He demanded my time as he did...
