    What books/supplys should I ask for the holidays?

    As you are the DM I would recommend different kinds of things. If you use minis I'd get a good battle map or any of the other products that help you run a combat. I've seen colored magnetic pieces that can be used as status indicators: wounded, very wounded, flying, buffed, what ever you want...

    Do reviews matter?

    Caveat Emptor! I look at reviews & previews. Monte Cook is the rpg guru at working up the fan base into a feverish pitch with previews of his products, especially his Magnum Opus, Ptolus. I tend to look at reviews of all products I'm about to purchase. I find a few reviewers that consistantly...

It seems that many people are unaware of this concept. The trouble is, not everyone has equal ability to self advocate. I...

"Hostile workplace" are the buzz words that are looked for in pursuing a harassment case. Back in '96-'97 I ran a coffee shop. I went through every...

    No offense taken, my vocabulary far out strips my ability to spell. I also can't remember a string of numbers more than 4 digits long.

    Arcanis: the World of Shattered Empires, refered to as "the thinking man's D&D." It’s like the end of the world. In the north, the nation of Canceri begins to buckle from the weight of the theocracy’s oppressive rule- most pray for death, and the rest, for deliverance. Enemies gather round...

    How do you scare your players?

    Kill NPCs. Lots of them killed by a serial killer in brutal and gruesome ways. Nothing gets a Halloween game going like dead bodies popping up, prefereably when the PCs can be implicated.

    How did you start?

    Growing up in rural southwest Michigan back in 1978 I used to ride the bus every morning for about an hour or so. My best friend was on the same bus and we spent that time talking about comics, sci-fi and all the other geeky kid stuff. One morning he started telling me about this game he had...
