Looking at the 4 women (out of 6 players) in our group: (1) one gets antsy if it's too long between combat encounters (2) one loves dealing maximum damage and mayhem when she's a player and is diabolical when she's the DM (surprise! 8 dragons, guys! after 3 consecutive encounters with solos!)...

Anything that lodges in your respiratory tract that isn't supposed to be there is foreign body aspiration. The santol seeds weren't aspiration per se because we found them in the gastrointestinal tract, not the respi (and yes, they are pretty tasty, and no they didn't sprout, thank goodness)...

Thanks for the advice! I ran it by my sister as "what might happen if John Woo and Wong Kar-Wai wrote an RPG together" and now I have one person willing to try it. Looking up the games listed thus far on this thread, though, makes me want to try them too.

Aww, now I really, really wish I could find people to try out Feng Shui with me. And your house-con sounds like a fab idea!

Feng Shui. And I'm not likely to to try it because (1) haven't run into anyone else who's heard of it and (2) my gaming group tells me Shadowrun will do if I want an RPG that also caters to my love for Hong Kong action films.

Yup, jars and soda bottles are the worst. It's reached the point where me and my colleagues were relieved at seeing things like vibrators because, well, they're SUPPOSED to be in that general area anyways.

Wow, I would've loved to see those cases first hand. Closest I ever got was collaborating on a case series report about our patients who came in with appendicitis and were also found to have swallowed santol seeds. As for other weird things I've seen inside people...oh well. Not grandma friendly.

I'm looking forward to the release of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, but that's still on Aug 24.

As someone who only started playing PnP RPGs three months ago, I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. If it weren't for the scads of free time I have right now plus DMs who are willing to hold my hand practically every step of the way, as well as letting me inundate them with questions...

More info here: Comic-Con 2010: The Legend of Korra Interview - UGO.com I especially love this bit: the cabbage merchant will not appear, but "his legacy will be present in some form." :D

Rule 34. Anything's possible. Also, considering that the Transformers slash fandom is pretty active and has helpful primers such as this manifesto (warning: Adult Content Notice), not to mention other metal construct centered fandoms such as Gundams, Evas &c, then yes, there's a way for metal...

When I first started playing, I used the Character Generator's sheets and cards because it seemed easier to do so. With leveling up and more play, however, I ended up writing down my own sheet and making my own power cards because I could arrange things in stuff that makes sense to me. Everyone...

Thanks for the reassurance. She played the warlord last night and it went pretty well. Only issues for her were bad rolls every now and then :D

Yeah, that was one of the ones that somewhat confused me, because another guide that I looked over was somewhat contradictory. But I'll give it another look. Thanks! And thanks also for the general bullet points. She's already cool with not being in the spotlight, so that's one down, at least.

Merlin the Tuna: Thank you for the advice and the link. I'll see in what other ways her character can contribute aside from healing. So far what we both know is that we want to set up CA for my rogue as much as possible /selfish (like I said, my sister and I are new at this. We've only been...

Yep, I'm wielding daggers. Also I took the Melee Training feat so that my MBA doesn't totally suck. The fighter and the seeker aren't minmaxed, but the monk is. She's cool with rarely attacking, I think. Right now, her stats are Str 18, Con 11, Dex 8, Int 14, Wis 10, Cha 15. I could try to talk...

We're playing in Dark Sun. We have the following: (1) Human Melee Rogue- that's me. This will be my first time to play a rogue, all I know so far is I like hitting people, period. :) (2) Thri-Kreen Centred Breath Monk (3) Human Two-Handed Weapon Talent Fighter (4) Elf Seeker (Bloodbond)

Hello, I am a (fairly) new D&D player who has to give someone even noobier than myself a crash course in playing a warlord. Basically, my sister decided to be a warlord for our next game. She gave me some basic guidelines for how to build him (human, Inspiring Warlord build, here's his...
