    How to influence a group's rules usage without alienating them?

    Just lie, it will be the easiest thing. The important thing here is the game, and your proclivities won't mess up their game if you lie A LITTLE. Tell them you had a bunch of books (preferably list off the ones that have the materials you will need to build the character you want), but...

    GAME OF THRONES #5:-The Wolf and the Lion ACT 5 Chapter 1-2011

    Who's side is Varies on? It's been a few years since I read the books so I can't remember how a lot of things played out. In the scene with the (boss as hell) dragon skull, varies is discussing with illyrio (i think that is his name, Dany's pimp) how khal drogo will be coming over to kill...

    Cool, I was a afraid that I maybe just misread it. Thanks

    RPGfreelancer.com: Is this still a thing?

    I need to start looking for art work for the book I'm working on, and I may need an editor, so when I found your site it looked great... but then I saw that you can't contact people outside of your forums or it voids the contract. I can't imagine asking someone to edit a book for my new RPG...

    Happy Birthday Piratecat!

    Happy Birthday dude, if I play in one of your games at GenCon I will buy you a beer to make up for the one Morrus drank.

    [Thur 2pm-6pm] GenCon Noobies Game

    I would love to be involved in one of these. Last year was my first GenCon, but I didn't know what I was doing and the people I was with were mainly there for anime girls so I didn't get to game at all except to demo pathfinder. I want this year to be different. Let me know what to do and I...

    How to deliver clues to the PCs?

    These are the kinds of campaigns I run, and what I have learned is this: do not worry about the clues, instead, get a feel for the situation. Define this group of assassins, their basic locations, their motivations, a little of their hierarchy, and most importantly their feel. Treat them like...

    Game of Thrones theory

    I agree that explaining something like this with magic might not be as good as just leaving it to imagination, but not in this case. Martin has done a great job of tying everything together, and something tells me he will fit this in nicely as well. I have gotten the feel that since dragons...

    What fake gaming terminology does your group use?

    this might seem a little tangential but in highschool our gaming sessions usually involved party favors. I was still living in my mom's basement at the time and would have to hide my stash of party favors. We never had much of a stash, being broke kids, so I usually rolled up my baggie and...

    Game of Thrones theory

    Ya it does seem like that. What I find very strange is that it seems like when summer and winter happen and their durations are not predictable. I'm having a hard time imagining how a culture that seems confident saying "the wall has protected us for 8000 years" doesn't have an accurate...

    That Thing You Won't Ever Do

    Humorous one off's or similar are fun. But when I play in a serious campaign I want that feel to be consistent. A plucky or humorous type character is fine, but I WILL NOT play in a campaign that has a serious or semi serious tone where one of the characters names is "fluffy" or similar, or...

    Running gags

    I think it was in 3.0 where I ran an adventure where the party spent some time travelling by ship. I wanted to have so see combats that were a little different. So I through a troll at them (don't remember the specifics, this would have been a solo thing for them). Of course you can't kill a...

    Game of Thrones theory

    It's been a few years since I read the Song of Ice and Fire books 1-4, but one thing I always thought was weird was that they kept alluding to the fact that summer lasted for a generation or longer, and when winter came it could go on for years. I found it odd that after 4 books they didn't...

    What fake gaming terminology does your group use?

    In college an old friend of mine moved to town and we started gaming. We had just seen the south park episode with Mr. Derp. We started to refer to minion types (since this was 3.5 there weren't minions per se) as Durps. A year late we moved back to our home town and started gaming with...

    Game of Thrones: spoilers discussion.

    Sorry to kvetch here but I'm trying to understand how you own the RPG (which costs about $30 I would guess) and the DVD's of Band of Brothers (mine cost at least $60) but you can't afford four $7 books?

    City streets poster battlemap?

    I'm also interested in maps like this. I remember seeing a picture of a map from one of WoTC's 4e adventure modules that had a really cool market place map, but I have never seen it again, and it isn't any of the maps mentioned above. It was a large market place that was very crowded. Anyone...

    A Question of Ethics:

    It seems like Leela is about to pizza when she should french fry, and therefore is gonna have a bad time. Moving to another country to be with a dude who, at least from the sound of things, she isn't exactly in the most stable relationship with, just sounds like a bad idea from any angle. If...

    TV Series You're Surprised You Don't Watch

    I have never seen a single episode of Buffy. I recently downloaded the first season. I fear that it will either be too dated for me to get into, or that I won't get into it enough to get to the second season, which is when I hear it gets good. Ironically just a few years ago I watched...

    Camelot

    I like Merlin a lot (which is quite a thing for to me say considering I have never liked Fiennes in anything else), and I like how they portray magic, but I can't get into the show because of some major writing hiccups (at least imo). *Spoilers* Like in the first episode, when arthur takes a...
