    Anybody else have this problem?

    LOL I'm Australian so all we have is loud overbearing ockers in the group. And still we get that one person who talks over everyone else and just gets louder and louder and louder. As a GM i use 1 rule when run a game. Everything said at the table is in character. This hopefully makes...

    Would you quit a game if....

    I have never understood this type of argument from players. How much can you invest in a piece of paper? Its make believe not a puppy. I dont like my characters dying either but im not about to shed a tear and take my dice and books and go home. Its up to you if you want this type of person...

    Bottle of wine and im schtill sober *hic*

    My apologies i didnt realise this post hand been bumped for an update. So far the game is going splendid. The alcohol usage is now not an issue which is good. The game itself has seen alot more homebrew ideas put in so now it looks nothing like 2nd edition ad&d, heck it doesnt look like d&d...

    Character Goals

    This is probably just me but as a DM i have never asked the players what their goals are.

    DM - Adversarial or Permissive?

    I have some questions about this. Was the player in the game from the start or was he added later on? Was it the players idea to make his character a mercenary/brigand or yours? Why have the local girl seduce the mercenary/brigand? Why not the ranger or the guard. So the only player with a...

    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    Not true. The GM also must sleep in the bed he makes. If from mis-communication the players are killed most likely the game is then dead. And all the hard work put into creating the game from the GM is wasted. Never said it wasnt. But its also up to the players to ask questions and to...

    GM-player Communication vs. Metagaming

    As a DM i describe the scene to the players as best i can. What they choose to do with that information is up to them. If that leads to character deaths then that was the choice they made. I guess with a new player who is inexperienced in roleplaying i would prod them to the right course of...

    Narrativism can be old-school

    Narrativism, Gamism, Simulationism, dont schism my roleplaying.

    Using Meta-game Inforamation

    Nope never used meta game info to prod the players. Some players have complained that trying to get information out of me is like pulling rotting teeth with a rusty nail. My standard remark is " ask the right questions" I make sure the players work for every crumb of information they get. My...

    What would you Dream Character be!

    Thats a tough one to think about a dream character. I guess it would be a fighter type, strong, nimble with a huge constitution. I wanderer from the steppes or other inhospitable area. Cunning and resourceful but not that bright. Small and stocky maybe one of the smaller races. Skilled in...

    Gaming Efficiency: do you get a lot done in a session

    You can not equate the game experience of a computer game with that of a table top rpg. The computer game experience is scripted with only a few outcomes. Thats why after you have heard what npc x has to say it just gets annoying having his speech bubble pop up every time you want to trade or...

    Obstacles Without Antagonists

    I love obstacles in games. It breaks up the usual travel, combat, social interaction that most games are created upon. Two of my best beloved books are the old dungeoneer survival guide and wilderness survival guide. Getting stuck in blizzards or dying of thirst in a desert add great...

    Do you like being saved? Or the Dues ex machina in action

    I do not believe deus ex machina should ever be used. I have no problem with my characters dying. Doesnt take that long to create another one.

    Bottle of wine and im schtill sober *hic*

    I think a little bit of back story is needed for this post. I started playing with a new group 6 weeks ago. So to the group i am the outsider. Now all members of the group like to have a few drinks during play. This i have no issue with. As a note i have to drive 40min to get to the GM's...

    Playing the same character since 1985? Gwah?

    I started a WEG Star Wars character in the summer of 89. We played twice a week until 2000 then once a fortnight until 2008 now we get together about 4 times a year to play the same characters. Not sure how many hours of play as some weekends we would start midday saturday and not finish until...
