I think the real test is going to be -- how does it work for the uninitiated, the non-fan?

Very good choice for those who are not familiar with Futurama but are into D&D - lots of D&D gags. Geysers of Gygax indeed!

I don't, and never would, play online. I would leave the hobby if that were my only option. It just doesn't do anything for me.

That's going to be my next audiobook...

I can't believe they did, or didn't do, whatever it is they did or didn't do. The bastards!

I don't care for 4E though I would play if it were the only game in town. And I don't have any kind of sense of how well the game is selling. So ... "other".

Each player in my game gets to say "screw the rules" once per session. I had intended this to be used to "do something cool" but instead it was often saved for "saving my bacon". So now I give out one "save my bacon" AND one "screw the rules" per player per session. "Screw the rules" can...

Well, not completely derailed, but yeah... I was running a Dark Sun one-shot, and the PCs were about to be ambushed by a gang of psionic humanoids. I don't know the correct pronounciation of the name of the race (maenad), but to their ears, the players thought they were being attacked by "my...

Kinda forgot about this thread! Anyway, my resolutions really are just for the toughest two months of the year (Jan and Feb) and the above summary really does apply to the whole two months. As is strangely typical, my exercise level has fallen off in March and April, but as soon as I wrestle...

For me it has a lot to do with the basic "numbers game" - if 5th level basically means the same thing in each version, if +6 to hit basically means the same thing, if 20 hit points basically means the same thing, then to me it's compatible. I can work around many differences (a new derived stat...

Please let us know how it is - I am intrigued and would like to hear more.

Same here. Before, WotC had a chance to get my money for OOP D&D stuff. Now, they don't.

"there's the bad guys, then there's the really bad guys" - i.e. shades of evil the role of religious institutions in society (their role in propping up those in power, for example); also the role of magical institutions (i.e. wizard's guilds) lost lore (ancient civilizations rose high...

I am listening to Agincourt by Bernard Cornwell. http://www.audible.com/adbl/entry/offers/productPromo2.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes&productID=BK_HARP_001789 I will be picking up Steal Across the Sky by Nancy Kress at the library today. Amazon.com: Steal Across the Sky: Nancy Kress: Books I am...

When the DM has miscalculated the math side of things (i.e. opponents have unhitable ACs, unbeatable DCs, etc.), I appreciate it when he notices and eases up on us. I appreciate it when the DM trusts me enough to make decisions about my character's abilities, including home brewing things...

Star Trek in the theater. Wolverine and maybe Terminator on DVD.

Let's see, we do have "thread ignore" options, now, right? So any thread you see and don't want to see more of (not just on this topic) can be blocked by the user.

I don't mind but to me it makes sense for the player to have a "main" character to focus on for roleplaying, and then take more of an NPC approach with the other character. Roleplaying conversations between PC 1 and PC 2 from the same player's a little weird. :)

Book like this is a list of ingredients. No need to use them all in each dish you create.

Typed and printed out. I like the neatness and organization of typed (plus I can use font colors for different stats - red to call out AC, purple for immunities & resistances, green for vulnerabilities, etc.), and I can use my electronic tools (eTools and spell spreadsheets) to do the number...
