I am a supermodel and take offense at such comments.

Well, it's not really that he's incapable of using the bard's social skills to play the agenda game in the adventure. He really is. What worries me, and him, is that the module still has significantly less of that than it does dungeon crawling, which is also the specialty of the other 3, more...

True. If his charisma is decent, his diplomacy rolls and such should still be decent. Are paladins decent characters overall? Of course Bard and Paladin are the two classes I have no experience playing, so I don't know much about them when recommending them.

I've just started running The Banewarrens online for a group of friends spread out across the country. One player is pretty new to D&D, and the rest are pretty experienced. The new player created a bard, but it's not working out tremendously well for him. He does not have very many opporutinutes...

I don't know much. But I do know one thing. This guy: Needs to get out of his parents' basement a lot more. "My muse"? Sheesh!

Sorry to break topic, but I've noticed a lot of people mentioning that they picked up Thieve's World. Just wanted to interject that I played it at the con and it was FANTASTIC! The magic system overwhelmed me. I'm really, REALLY impressed with it.

The key to True Dungeon is Bard song selection... dorky white guy+Stevie Wonder= GOLDEN!

You should have been there. You could have met quite a few Chicagoland-area gamers!

Indeed you can't! It was (and always is) Saturday night at 11:00-3:00am This was the 7th year for the Midnight Zombie game. Tom (the guy standing on the chair) usually gets around 45 people, but it has been as high as 65 people. Every year the theme is different. This year's theme was...

When you should have been at the Midnight Zombie Game? It's only the best game ever, of all time, anywhere.... And not a single ENWorlder who wasn't me, Urbanmech, or DireCow.... You should be ashamed! It's inhuman to miss a zombie game! Here's just a taste of what you missed: 55...

My NPCs often sucker my PCs, but it is rarely involving an event or series of events as complicated as yours. However, I would definitely say that the PCs sucker my NPCs (read: me) much, MUCH more often. And their set-ups are frequently pretty elaborate. And, really, I wouldn't have it any...

Oh, and for the record... I'll be playing AFMBE at GenCon this year. Just like last year.

I have no problems with $30 for a book, but the AFMBE book, though, if I remember correctly, it clocked in at 200+ pages was also small, so those pages contained about 125-150 normal sized pages worth of material. For $20 more, I just bought midnight 2e, which comes in at 400 full-sized (read...

All the cool options have fallen as the lusty fanboys voted for the succubus. I'm telling you, it's all lusty fanboys.

Wow... that Fire Clan Dragon is SUPER cool. I think I may just have to get me one of those. Here's hoping I remember come October.

I generally try to keep my villians serious in D&D, but in Mutants and Masterminds all bets are off. Some villains are serious, many are funny.

Though I don't, by any means, want to bash the ENnies, there actually is quite a lot going on at that time of night. This is the second year that there are 2 things I want to do at the same time as the ENnies.

In my opinion, yes. Considering the price of their books (vs. size of their books), and the material that was still available for running a decent Zombie game... it was a major buzz-kill. Thanks for the suggestions on stuff! I'm still pondering Year of the Zombie.... hmmm....

I'd love to come, but I think that's our NASCRAG night. If it isn't, though, I'll come looking for you.

Ideally, next year will be the year my wife goes with me to GenCon. She didn't think she could get the time off this year, though it turned out that she ended up being scheduled off most of the time anyway. She's going camping with some friends and our 2 Airedale Terrier puppies instead...
