    Gaming score?

    Yanni and Kenny G! Ok, seriously, I generally use as background: Conan the Barbarian Lord of the Rings trilogy Highlights from Wagner's Ring Cycle (instrumental - opera lyrics would be too distracting) Holst: The Planets Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition Midnight Syndicate: Realm of...

    Strange AD&D module found in closet

    Meh, don't listen to the rest of them - it's totally worthless. I'd be happy to take it off your hands for free - I'll even pay the postage. ;-) ... and while I'm at it, I have a couple of bridges for sale or trade.... ( seriously - incredible find - wish I had that kind of luck, but all I...

    Since I can't go to GenCon, I will be...

    ...in a sales conference two hours north.. with no way to get there when it's over (rode with one of the other guys in the agency and we're going the wrong direction). So close.. yet so far away....

    WotC Poll: Which Setting for Next Adventure Series?

    Krynn??? I guess everyone is itching to play a kender, and has forgotten just how much they annoy other players? (no, I don't like Kender... except either as trap fodder, or with a nice garlic and sage rub and cooked medium well on a natural hickory wood charcoal barbecue)

    Wisconsin as a Hunter: The Vigil setting

    Some other Wisconsin things to consider... "I Closed Wolski's" bumper stickers on about 1 of 10 cars/trucks/SUV's in and around Milwaukee (they can also be found at Dirty Nelly's pub in Shannon, Ireland along with a half-dozen Milwaukee Irish-fest bumper stickers). The awful stench of the...

    Party amnesia

    I really like the concept, but would stress that the mystery of what is going on will be what really hooks the players. I would suggest (and maybe this is part of the plan already) to have things in the current timeline not always as they appear, and having the flashbacks shed light on...

    Running gags

    We were playing a Living Greyhawk Shield Lands module, and ran into some giants and ogres. There were five of us who played together, and we'd picked up a 6th. Now, I can't swear as to the exact quotes or exact order, but it went pretty close to this.... Player 1 (ranger/rogue): Sneak...

    What are the greatest published adventures you've run?

    Top mods for me (in order): S1-Tomb of Horrors I6-Ravenloft COR1-6: The Forbidden Choice (Living Greyhawk module) B2-Keep on the Borderlands S3-Expedition to the Barrier Peaks Of course, with Ravenloft, I think I'm going to say I have a love-hate relationship with the module. Loved it as a...

    Rules change ruined the economy!

    Magic didn't change. It's all a conspiracy supported by propaganda put out by an evil dictator of a 4th world land-locked country, who is upset about not having any realistic control over the pearl supply, and is trying to devalue it as a foreign currency to improve his trading position. He's...

    TSR Example from the worst TSR adventure module(s) ever published

    no no no!!!! I thought the succubus was reserved for every bar maid, serving girl, or lady of the night in an adventure... ... especially when certain PC's insist on turning the afternoon bar scene that is just supposed to get them started on the adventure into a multi-night stay in a whorehouse.

    WotC Discontinues Minis: How Much Does It Affect You?

    Five years ago my answer would have been different, but after discovering Fiery Dragon's Counter Collection Digital, the answer is now N/A.

    It's Almost the Season for WOTC layoff!

    Maybe in a Python-esque move, they laid off the person responsible for laying off the staff?

    Get a role in the new D&D movie!

    The D&D movies were awesome!!!! Viggo Mortensen and Ian McKellan were stellar, the cinemetography were great, and the story line was epic! Oh wait, you mean the D&D movies that were called D&D, not the movies that REALLY WERE D&D. Nevermind. :) Seriously, the D&D movies were best watched...

    Who runs your game?

    As our gaming group ages and we fail more intelligence checks, we've gone mainly to just, "hey you." Another sign of memory loss: It's the middle of combat and you want to cast fireball on the BBEG, and he's locked in combat with the party's tank (who is very badly wounded). The guy next to...

    AD&D 1st Edition Books

    The only truly major difference in books is the Deities & Demigods - the first printing run had the Cthulhu and Melnibonean mythos, that later printings of the book (and it's orange spine version which was called Legends & Lore) don't have this. If it were me, I'd go with the original artwork...

    Guilty Admissions...

    Would it help if I said that the awesomeness of the 3-car walkie-talkie game was on the way to said hotel for the "sad" D&D bachelor party? The funny thing is, everybody just assumes that's our cover story for a night of booze and debauchery, but we really did just take a road trip to play...

    I'm tvknight415 and I.... - have been gaming for almost 30 years - generally stick to the same half-dozen character concepts whenever I have to create a new character - base most of my characters on historical types (viking berserker, templar knight, etc.) - will occasionally create a character...
