That'd be one heck of commute just for a game. JD

Hey all, I'm looking for gamers in the Winston-Salem, NC area. Not necessarily for D&D, but really just about any type of gaming. John D

Usually when I've done this, I had the players make a conscious decision to create one "primary" and one (or more) "secondary" character(s), which gives weaker players the option of only fully fleshing out the personality of a single character. JD

Poorly, and with great difficulty... Oh, you're looking for actual advice, not my personal sob-story. Heck, if I knew the answer to this I'd be gaming a lot more than I am. John D

If WotC had not bought TSR... My guess is that TSR would have continued it's downward spiral for a ew more years and that someone someone else would have bought them - or rather, someone else would have bought as many of the properties (jncluding D&D/AD&D) as they could have, just a couple of...

No contest: 1930s Pulp-Adventure

An individual company can still do well in a weak market - just like one could do poorly in a strong market - without being in any way indicative of the market as a whole. If Mongoose is doing well, more power to them. JD

Just a quick note for folks in the Winston-Salem area. We're looking for a couple more folks interested in Champions (Hero System, 5th Edition). We play every other Saturday at Pair-A-Dice games on COuntry Club Rd (our next session will be Nov 19). If you'd like more info yuo can contact me...

Cambias wrote Star Hero for 5th Edition Hero System. He's got a good handle on SF role playing. John D

Am I a good GM? No. I am, however, a willing GM - which, at times, is more important. (My perferred gaming group makeup is one in which there is a primary GM, who is not me; wherein I can run games whenever the primary GM needsa a break. I have lots of ideas for games that I occasionally...

AD&D 1E had a certain charm to it, but personally I think the Rules Cyclopedia edition of OD&D was a more fun game. John D

Came out in the 2nd Edition AD&D timeframe. It was basically the last version of what original D&D became (think Basic D&D + Expert Rules + more in one book). It is my personal favorite edition of the games that refered to as some version/edition/variation of D&D. It still had a fair amount of...

Were I to run D&D again I'd do the same thing. John D

Hero System (5th edition) is my system of choice to play, and the only system I'm GMing. John D

Some of the funnest D&D games I've ever played in used these rules. In fact, after 2nd Edition AD&D came out we were actually more likely to use the Rules Cyclopedia than we were to play AD&D. John D

Depends a lot on the group. My every-other Saturday Champions game has two minors playing in it - no drinking. However, whenever me and my ex-roomates get together for our infrequent game sessions... The less said, the better. John D

The worst impact a sale of D&D could he upon Kalamar would be the loss of the license to call the product a "setting for Dungeons & Dragons". As this point, I don't think that nearly as big a deal as it was back when the current incarnation of Kalamar first hit the market. The line between D20...

Historically, "big name comic" licences have done little to entice non-gamer comic fans into the game market. I think was probably a big part of the problem with Marvel's recent venture into the RPG market - most of their advertising was targetted at the comic market, not the game market (well...

What (specifically) kind of IT job? John D
