I'm ok with ridicule in cases like this. It's not to try to convert the anti-vaxxers. Yes, I realize that with a slow and patient indirect approach, over the course of many moons you may finally change that one person's mind. Meanwhile, a hundred other people all bought into that fearmongering...

On the voter ID issue, I recall being asked for my ID when I voted. It wasn't a big deal. Of course that may depend on exactly what ID is needed. If it's pretty much anything that shows that you are who you say you are, like anything that could get you into a bar, then I don't see much of an...

I'm not a fan of abortion, but I also don't think it should be banned in cases of rape or incest. I think the SCOTUS ruling was a fair compromise on the matter, and regardless of what I think the issue is more or less settled. Regardless of your views, I think focusing on issues that can...

As with most single-player video games, Elder Scrolls has a plot that revolves heavily around the character. In my experience, trying to push that into a larger group can be disruptive, since really only one of them can be "the chosen one" or whatever. I've seen campaigns like that fall apart as...

This character generator (which also includes some GM tools) is very handy. There is no descriptive text (it instead points you towards the appropriate book/page) but you can edit the files to fill that in pretty easily...

I'd be willing to check it out. No promises on how often I can play it but I can probably at least get through the introductory adventure.

I will probably turn my home into a zombie apocalypse fortress, create all the awesome 3D gaming pieces that I want but don't have the time or space for right now, build an obstacle course on my property, shoot guns in my backyard, and yell at kids to get off my lawn.

I see this like any other profession. It doesn't need a class. Depending on what edition you are playing, a skill may or may not be appropriate. A scientist is just someone that tries to gain an understanding of our world through the application of the scientific method. Any character class...

I don't really have one party that I completely identify with. I often vote based on the major issues and the platforms of the candidates. I also have an eye towards a balance of power. If a Republican is President, I'm more likely to vote for a Democrat Congressman, and visa versa. When gay...

I can't think of many official campaigns that included world maps. I like to have world maps for my own campaigns, even if everywhere else is just a rough sketch of the continents with some major terrain features.

It was definitely a different atmosphere. On one hand, the players quickly learned to be very careful. On the other hand, the players quickly learned to be very careful. It led to interesting shenanigans that were amusing the first time around, and then quickly got old, like poking chests with...

Hmmm, what other things come to mind when I think of the Elder Scrolls series? Armor and weapons that degrade over time and need to be repaired. A campaign world rich with history, where characters find books with myths, biographies, poems, etc. Always starting out as a prisoner. Being part...

The art, minis, and map tiles look great. I'm torn on the tokens. I like the look of those standees you showed and I like not having to assemble the bases each game or worry about losing them, but if then again stickers tend not to hold up well over time. Can you share more about the game...

I'll join in with the chorus of comments about horror games. It can be really hard to get the players to buy into the environment and atmosphere required, especially after playing more traditional games like D&D. You can describe horribly traumatic psychological events, and the players shrug and...

That is correct. Even with a plastic-cased anti-tank landmine containing anywhere from 10-20 lbs of high explosives, you can find pieces of the plastic case after the fact (assuming you're willing to spend the time and effort to search and dig for them). They'll be melted, but still somewhat...

You might want to check out the Pirates and Privateers supplement from the old d6 SWRPG. The Far Orbit Project also covered a rebel privateer. You can find them here http://d6holocron.com/downloads/wegsupplements.html I could easily see a lot of potential there. The Empire is crumbling but the...

That's pretty cool. I made a custom game table as well. The TV stands up for normal use, then when it's gaming time it folds down to serve as a battlemap, and drawers slide out for storage of drinks and gaming material. I typically use Maptool to project the map and use its Fog of War feature...

My group has taken a temporary break from D&D to get our Star Wars FFG on, but we still plan to wrap up our 4e campaign, we also have an Ultramodern4 campaign on hold, and once I finish my 4.75 rules I will start a new campaign using those. I enjoy having tactical options and group synergy...
