Lots of good suggestions. I like meowmt's and Piratecat's. Here is another: do the fake-double cross ("its a trap trap"). The first double cross is the decoy trap (where perhaps they kill a look-alike, or a dummy, or an illusion or whatnot), only to be followed by the real doublecross...

Well, I'm in the both category. I suck at painting (and I tried, really), and I have neither the time nor inclination to get better. And lets be fair, too - prepainted plastics are much cheaper than most metal minis. Hey. They're about as good as my paint-jobs, and I'm WAY over 10! :)

Heh. You're going to have to work harder than that to hurt my feelings. :) You (and others) simply seemed bound and determined to state uncategorically that buying PDFs - at full price - is financially irresponsible. I disagree. I don't give a rat's tail-end if you don't care to buy them, but...

I'm in a pretty similar boat - 'cept that I have at least 2 complete sets of each release, except these last 2 4e sets, and over 7,000 total DDMs. I looked at the last set, and this new one, with a much closer eye, and finally decided (battling my inner completionist), y'know, I'm just not...

Hmm. I busted TB for snark? Could you maybe point that out? I agree with the previous posters, you seem a might bit touchy today. Perhaps decaf? You seem to think that buying both a PDF and physical copy of a book is "irresponsible". I don't think owning copies of each are - nor do I think...

Really? Do you have an index of "responsible spending" you could point me to then, to make sure my purchasing habits are properly responsible? :p Perhaps if your purchasing power is such that a gaming PDF competes in the budget with shoes and clothes and groceries, then I could definitely see...

You know, there is a reason there is both a Walmart and Tiffany's. Or Kia and BMW. Its all about what you value, what you're willing to pay ... and if you're capable of paying for it. Consider, for a moment, that you're simply not the target market. Do you similarly snark at someone for buying a...

Ye gods. What does the Griefer bring to the table that makes him worth putting up with? I mean that seriously, no sarcasm or snark intended.

Wow. You haven't been at our table. We might even be worse when the women show up. :devil: Of course, all the womenfolk at our tables (usually 2-3, to the 5-6 guys) are wives/girlfriends, and we're also all social beyond gaming (dinners, holidays, movies, board games, shopping, etc). Also, most...

I'll third (or forth, or whatever) the mention of Auggies. I have over 7,000 D&D minis, and collected multiple complete sets of each release until the last set - and probably at least 2K of those came from Auggies. He's has been my go-to store since Giants of Legend (and man, thats been awhile...

I second this. I have both Rippers and the Companion, and they're quite good. Its got a nice bonus thats its the plot point campaign in the setting book, and the campaign is fun, if a bit full of name-dropping. You will need the Savage Worlds Rulebook, too (Rippers is the setting book, and has...

Thats awesome. :) I've found when one player does it and gets something kinda special baked into the campaign for them, the others want to do it, too. In our Evernight game, I had each person pick a different region they came from, and tell me about the region. We got really cool stuff out of...

Subtle? Really? I must have missed that part. ;)

I'm not a worldbuilder GM, for much the same reason I don't paint miniatures: I suck at, and while I could probably learn to get better, I have neither the time nor inclination for it. I envy those that really get into worldbuilding, though. However, one thing I like to do - even using...

Which is A Good Thing, I'll wholeheartedly agree. :)

I'm with the Mouse on this (and with this other points throughout the thread). I find that character creation rules are for player characters. They are to provide a framework for player characters to be on relatively level ground. Thats usually why they are in the Player's Handbook (or Player's...

In an RPG sense, I don't fully agree with this. I see (in others and in myself) this conservatism directly in relation to D&D, but not necessarily other places. Maybe thats just me - but I see a lot of that around here. I often think of myself as as a grognard. I was playing the late 70s (B/E...

I liked Cambions as a once-in-a-blue-moon-exception. I like the occasional Half-Orc. I even let someone play a Svirfneblin, and even once a Half-Ogre (ah, Roger Moore's Half-Ogre, good times). But Dragonborn and Tieflings as core? I'm in the "meh" category there - I dislike them as core...

This.

My google-fu failed me. Where did you find these?
