True, but partially necessary. That is, some complaints about one don't always stand alone without something to compare it to. That said, if I answered the same question elsewhere (say, like, Mortality), I would have made different comparisons, but they would have amounted to about the same...

Wow, did you grow up in Hawaii? I graduated December, 86, went to Boot Camp in January, and was already stationed in Pearl Harbor by June, 87. Bought most of my books at Jelly's. (Is that place still there?) Personally, I most remember his initial election for President being somewhat...

I thought of doing something like this, only with the camera not facing anything. I'm a tad camera shy, and the last thing I want is players either freezing-up for the same reason or hamming it up. All's I need is sound.

Livable, and I hate cheese. One problem we never get here is contradictory moderation. For example, in one thread, I had a poster rip on me through several posts. I finally got tired of being polite and patient, so I e-mailed a Wizo, who replied along the lines of "insulting people isn't...

Absolutely! Indeed, while we have an Ignore feature here, I've only had reason to use it once. Over there, I would have loved such a feature for well over a dozen or two people, including 1 or 2 of the mods. Nightfall: Not who I was thinking of either. I figured it was the one that called...

Actually, I know who you mean, so feel free; he wasn't part of my reason for leaving, only a symptom of the problem and easily ignored once his endless pettiness reduced him to irrelevancy.

No. To my knowledge, the atmosphere hasn't changed, although I stopped hanging there a year ago. I'll gladly discuss why in e-mail, as it would require the naming of names.

Does your group run one long involved campaign, or lots of short ones? Long and involved. We do, on occassion, run short adventures with new characters, but these are always in the same world and often have some degree of significance to the over-all metaplot. I also play in an Oathbound...

Using a Wounds & Vitality variant, Vitality is determined as: Max for 1st Hit Die. Rolled with Average Minimum for Hit Dice 2 through 5. As rolled for Hit Dice 6+.

I don't have anything against half-orcs, although my current campaign doesn't include orcs and therefore doesn't include half-orcs either. (For that matter, it doesn't include elves and therefore doesn't include half-elves either.) As for half-orcs being included in 1E, I recall most of the...

Nah, he wrote that for an older edition, although it would still fit for better run games under the new edition.

Now that's got some appeal to it. Have to give this some thought. ROFL!!! Yeah, I probably ought not listen to ya, but it was a good laugh anyways. Thanks!

Better yet, Keith Richards. It's amazing what draining all of your blood and replacing it with a complete transfusion will do for your lifespan. (Man, am I in a mood tonight or what..?)

That might be part of your problem.;)

Actually, no. I just feel you should drop it for the right reasons. To which, if it's hindering to players (some or all), I likely wouldn't drop it at all if doing so would cause me more headaches as the GM. On the other hand, I could see replacing it (Honor, Taint, some other system), but...

Then you're implementing it wrong. Alignment should be a summary of past actions, not a dictation of future ones.

As a gamer married to a gamer (and one hot mama, me-ow!), I'll tell you it's not all wine and roses. Sure, you don't have to worry about her not letting you hook up with your buds on Saturday night, but we fight like cats and dogs over bookshelf space.

(Most likely bust.) After spending the last two years living in 3 regions of the world I've come to dislike immensely, my wife and I have decided that we miss (and thus desire to return to) Alaska. Problem is, with the economy in a slump, we've barely managed to do more than avoid bankruptcy...

Lunar calender. It's set up around 364 days, being 13 months of 28 days each. One moon completes its cycle every 28 days (each "phase" is a week). One moon completes its cycle every 91 days (3 months + 1 week, forming a season). One moon completes its cycle every 364 days (it's phases also...

My campaign's Section 15 is nearly a full-page (3-column) in length; quite funny when considering how much of the "core" rules I've changed or removed entirely.
