I wonder if these votes would be different if the poll asked people to vote for their favorite city instead of their least favorite. Not that I disagree with the results in any great way - just musing.

MojoGM You deserve that treat. Let me add myself to the list of people offering congrats! You have so far succeeded where many have failed. My bit of advice: When I tried to give up overeating I literally imagined a switch in my head that went from "eat the junk" to "I don't need it". When...

I've just placed my order. The personalization is a nice touch. I remember this movie fondly - I just hope I don't have the same reaction as Hypersmurf. Thats happened a to me a few times. Of course, I'm buying it for my daughter so I'm sure she will have the same fond memories as she grows...

Just adding my two cents: I have not and will not purchase WOTC's pre-painted plastic minis due to the fact that they are randomized. I would buy them if they were theme packs (I would have bought many of them already). The explanation is simply the fact that I don't want to pay money to have...

I hate to sound negative but I think any new star trek movie would have to attract new fans to be successful. Star Trek fans are far far far too finicky for anything new to be successful. When Enterprise came out it was disowned by many fans just because it didn't have perfect continuity or...

To add my two cents, You will likely get a message from a seller asking you to do a transaction outside of ebay. For gods sake don't. This happened to me in my first auction. I lost the auction and the seller sent me an email saying that he had another copy stored away that he hadn't listed...

This explains why my credit card has had several fraud transactions from all over the world over the past couple of months. I've since cancelled it. I'll be paying by Paypal from now on. Didn't get a warning email though. Perhaps it was filtered by my spam protection although everything else...

Hi all, My Agility score was damaged in the game (I don't know how although I think it may have been by undead). It is now displayed in red. How can this be cured? Is there a temple or cleric who does this? Help would be appreciated. I realize I could ask this in the Oblivion forums but I...

I liked Oblivion a lot. They fixed a lot of things that I found slow and annoying about Morrowind such as overland travel which can be done more quickly in Oblivion without sitting there pressing the "w" key for half an hour. They did simplify the skills system but I found those too detailed in...

I've found this to be a common complaint. Many people grow up with their groups and evolve to prefer that style. I've felt the same way in my last two groups over the last 5 years since getting back into D&D. Style of game and player personality were sometimes not ideal and I found myself...

While I myself understand and use AoO, I have pretty much given up on recruiting new players in part because of it. Most new players can follow along with the other rules but as soon as I start explaining AoO to them, their eyes glaze over. Either that or the new player thinks they understand...

Some friends from years back named their son "Thor Aikenhed". I probably spelt it wrong and I should state that they were immagrants from Norway or Sweden or thereabouts. Maybe someone from there can tell me if thats a common name. In North America it sounds like "Sore aching head". They...

To answer this, instead of asking myself who is the most noble or something like that, I asked myself which character am I always in anticipation of. In other words, when the scene cuts to other characters who am I always glad it comes back to. The answer is Baltar - the most flawed and...

Not that this is the best way, but in the last campaign I played in we would start the new PC at 1 level below the rest of the party and he or she would have gear according to the wealth table in the DMG. "If you're 5th level you get X amount of gold". The problem we ran into though was that...

In a role-playing game (as opposed to roll-play of course) I find the alignment system to be very restrictive. This is especially true if you have a PC who changes alignment over time for a good reason. I like the concept of character evolution - character growth in other words. The alignment...

A lot has already been said that I agree with. Personally, I wouldn't have any penalty or reward. If you are all mature players who are indeed friends then this shouldn't be an issue. As Iwatt said, scoring time with family or a work obligation takes precedence over RPGs. Period. Personally...

Those answers do make sense. My memory is like a leaky sieve as well. And sending out quotes to the gaming group sounds like a good overall use.

Just curious, but why do you record sessions? Mine would be 4-5 hours of dialog that no one would listen to again. I suppose it might be useful for arguments about what anyone said in a past game...

I noticed a new fantasy PC RPG on the store shelf today called Neverend. Has anyone tried this? Is it any good? Would I be wasting my money?

I'm another consumer who will be trumpeting the fact that this is indeed a sad day for our hobby. Hopefully some day someone will realize that corporate mergers don't do anyone any favors except the executives who survive the merger and the major shareholders. In this case publishers...
