I love doing this kind of thing, and I could write you a really long post about it, but I don't have time, so here is the gist. Create a semi complex situation without the PC's, where several sides are doing their own thing independant of the PC's. Then throw in the PC's. Your castle example...

My suggestions for music try some apocolyptica (the older stuff, when it was just chellos) also, and this might seem weird, but download some cirque de soliel music. It doesn't all work, but you can get a good mix of vibrant songs that really have an exotic and jumbled feel to them, which...

On a camping trip, in the bed of a pickup truck with a top on it, during a thunderstorm.

1. fight club 2. primer 3. memento If you haven't seen primer do yourself a favor and do so. It is a small indie movie about some guys working in their garage trying to become the next bill gates that accidentally invent a time machine. It's very lo fi and down to earth and just...

I read post, a very long post. It was hard to understand because even though the OP is a writer he can't describe things very well.

Do you think a game can have the best of both worlds? What would you think of a RPG based in a historical setting with no fantasy races, but the rules come with statistics for fantasy races and suggestions on how to include them if you wish. It could preserve the historical aspect, but make...

There is no spoon.

The new ford ones are helmed by dennis leary, and he just rants about the size of the engine and such, which only makes me think of his old ranting standup, where he talked about beef and smoking and other male type things, so it becomes effectively one of those commercials for me.

This isn't near as funny, but in my small hometown there is a baptist school right across the street from a taco bell. My friend had his own webpage, which was just for friends from school, which was kind of a big deal because we were in highschool and this was 1995 or so, before facebook and...

False, never killed an entire party before The poster below me has visited (or can correctly pronounce) the welsh village Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

Really? It seems like every food I see on tv is now an enhanced version of a regular food, and it is enhanced with bacon (or another slab of beef). The worst phenomena I have witnessed: taco bell's creation of "4th meal". Jesusgod And beer was initially on the list, but trucks just seem to...

Since this thread is headed off topic anyway why not just go all the way. I have always wanted to play GURPS, but when I read the PDF a few years ago I decided that it wouldn't be worth it unless I had someone who knew the game well to teach me. Just the sheer number of options in the main...

Man, and all this time I thought their problem was making movies that suck!

I own a DVR, hence I don't watch commercials. If you set your DVR to record every show you want to watch, and start watching each hour long show 15 minutes in, you never have to watch commercials. I am very sure this was not the intention when marketing this device, but this is how I have been...

I doesn't have to turn it that way, but I find it often does. I would love to have a group of people that are well versed in the game rules and pay close attention 100% of the time, so when their turn comes up they fire off their actions quickly... but I don't get that. Most groups I play with...

Something that pops up on these boards a lot seems to be the argument, "back in the day we could have 5 fights and plenty of roleplaying in a 4 hour session, now we have time for like a fight or two and we are done." This, to me, is getting very old. Recently we went back and played a session...

What I really want to know is: how well do they come off walls?

I have to say that the gaming you describe is great for when your young, but it doesn't work quite like that when your older. I used to love Star Trek TNG, now when I catch a rerun it just seems meh. My young self had a lack of options coupled with lower expectations or maybe a more open mind...

Just got that book for my birthday. I have heard so much about how Howard built such a fantastic world with hyborea, and I must say I was never much of a tolkien fan, so I'm very interested. I want to write a good barbarian setting, hopefully this will help.

Does anyone see the irony here, the last time D&D used cards was DragonLance: 5th age. Now cards are back in 5th edition... coincidence? This has all happened before, and it will happen again, so say we all! I was hoping for a more seqel-esque moniker, such as FuriousFifth or something.
