No time, lack of confidence in own ability, lack of confidence in perceived rules mastery, fear of having the game revolve and depend entirely on them. That being said, pretty much everyone in our group has run a game at least once, except for one guy, and he was entirely new to RPGs before he...

One of my players just informed me that GeekDad from Wired just put up a blog post about the Kickstarter. Hopefully that will bring in some new backers. And bring on some more goodies for me. ... Us. I mean us.

I keep refreshing the Kickstarter page, hoping for the next stretch goal. I managed to convince most of my gaming group to throw in and help finance backing it at the Vampire level (2 of them just said "Here's $25.00, enjoy your minis," and the other guy is our other mini-painter-in-residence)...

100 out of 120. Do I get to stay, or I will be deported to another board?

Update! I've got three of them willing to pitch in $20.00. IT'S SO ON. On like an anthropomorphic, barrel-tossing gorilla.

I honestly can't *NOT* pledge at least $100. For that many minis it would be a damn crime not to. I'm currently polling my gaming group to see if anyone wants to go halfsies on it...no luck. Don't these people realize the opportunity in front of us!?!?

It's happened once. The paladin we chose to rule our kingdom in our Kingmaker game asked about wooing an NPC to have her named as his queen. That's it. I honestly can't even recall a time when someone asked if their PC could seek out a brothel. They fight monsters, kill them, and take their...

3.5e, I'm playing the dutiful party cleric. Half-orc mind you, but still a good guy. We've got a new guy sitting in with us - a coworker of the DM's. He's pretty new to gaming, but loves fantasy, and the DM wanted to give the guy a taste and see if he liked it. New guy is playing a...

Am I the only person who watched Your Highness and thought to themselves, "They seriously just sat down and watched a bunch of long-friends playing a really casual D&D game and then turned it into a movie?" From beginning to end, the movie reads like someone just had their, admittedly immature...

Was there a Minotaur? Please tell me you included a Minotaur.

I've played it a little bit. Don't have much in the way of advice though. Just wanted to chip in with my two cents on the game. I honestly think it's the closest thing we've ever had to a true open-world exploration game. I've frequently toyed with setting up my own server, and hosting all...

I cannot recommend enough the subtle psychological tension of playing the game in *near* dark. Illuminate ONLY the table, leave darkness everywhere else, so that the player's backs (as many of them are possible) are to a dark, open area. The rest of them should be staring into the darkness in...

Finishing up Mira Grant's Feed, and then it's on to Perdido Street Station by China Miéville.

Reported.

Just echo Mark CMG's sentiments above: it's really a good movie. It's a good time, well voice-acted, genuinely funny at times. Plus, giant man-eating bear!

Just put the kibosh on Comcast, and have gone almost exclusively to Internet-based "TV". As such, I'm rewatching Seasons 1-3 of Community, and started watching Psych, The League, and Better Off Ted.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned... My sin, Father, is vanity. I'm a proud, vain man, and I just can't help it, Father. I can't just make the Fighter. I have to make the TWF with a bullwhip and a wooden chair for a shield. I can't make a Cleric. I have to make the "Bad-Touch" Cleric...

Having never read the comic book (Don't look at me like that!), I can't comment on it's adherence to the source material. I CAN say, however, how much the "scale the tower filled with bad guys" thing looks a lot like The Raid. The Raid : Redemption - Official Trailer [HD] - YouTube

In all sincerity (and to echo some sentiments above), the second movie wasn't terrible. It was entertaining, in that "I know this isn't good, but it's also not particularly bad, and hey, dragons!" kind of way. Regardless, it was still bad enough that I'd be embarrassed to be caught watching...

I've decided I can't put up with Wizard's First Rule any longer. Richard just leashed [-]Gollum[/-] Samuel, and I'm sick of it. Just can't do it any more. Decided to start reading Feed by Mira Grant/Seanan McGuire.
