7 players (5 active, 2 on temporary hiatus) and the DM, and only 1 single guy in all that group (6 married, 1 w/ girlfriend, 1 single). Gaming grinds to a halt if it conflicts with Valentine's Day (or any major holiday for that matter). Players often miss if their SO's birthday falls on gaming...

Our 3.x campaigns have usually been lasting from 4-6 months. Something in the campaign itself implodes it, or RL of the DM causes it to end abruptly (we rotate DMs). Our current campaign, of which I am the DM, just hit the 6 month mark, and is going strong. :D The longest 3.x one we had...

As a Minnesota gaming "old fart" (closing in on 30 years now), I've frequented many of the Twin Cities FLGS's listed earlier in the thread (The Source, Phoenix Games, Village Games + Dreamhaven in Dinkytown) over the years. I've also seen several die off over the years since I took up gaming...

That would be great if you did Jay. Your index is a great resource. Sakkara

Been playing for almost 25 years now, and have played in a variety of places. Through high school, we cycled between 3 of our houses, no more than 10 miles apart. Through college, we played in the dorms or our apartment (once we moved off campus). Post-college, I've been lucky to host more...

#183 / 1000 I pre-ordered last fall. It arrived in great shape too -- no dings! Sakkara

I got mine several weeks ago, and Ptolus itself arrived today! Sakkara

I agree with this one whole-heartedly...while it may be the DMs world, but the players have to live in it. If they ain't happy, it all downhill from there... Also, we typically route all none PHB things through the DM for clearance/approval, and our group also likes the "1 always misses, 20...

I've had characters over the years lose an arm, an eye, a shield arm, etc., but the best had to be my Aasimar Paladin a few campaigns back - she cut off her own arm! Someone in the party used what she deemed as "evil magics" to regenerate an arm that was lost earlier in the session. She soon...

Ummm...Immune to Disease Assuming you are 3rd level or higher (which I would hope if you are off adventuring in the Abyss), you have Divine Health, which makes you immune to all diseases, including supernatural and magical. Mental Illness is a disease...your Paladin should not have been...

Not sure AdAware is the cause I have been running AdAware for quite some time now, on a number of different computers, and I have never experienced this... Web pages themselves can contain code that causes your browser to change it's home page, as does installing some kinds of software. Just...

Well, quit letting them take "do-overs' for one. A house rule we use (players & DM) is "No Retro" (meaning no do-over). We bend it once in awhile, but it serves us well as it also speeds the game along (especially combat). Another tool would be if you are awarding roleplaying XP along with...

another low post count-er chiming in Just another low post count person chiming in... Jeff/d20Books is quite the reputable online gaming resource/retailer, and the fact that people are just spouting off negatively, instead of finding out more information frustrates me as well, as I think he is...
