I've got 2 different baby-name books, and Gary Gygax's Extraordinary book of Names. I generally decide what flavor culture the charcter is from, then pick something from that list that sounds appropriate. Alternately, I think of a descriptor for the character, then hit...

Master Alchemist, because few things are cooler than whipping up a potion of True Ressurection.

Craigslist is used quite a bit out here...

No need to get snippy... But if you have forsworn girls, then that doesn't leave a whole lot of options. However, if you are indeed still interested in them, but having a lack of luck, then perhaps you are trying too hard? View them as people, since they are first and foremost just people. And...

Maybe you need to find yourself a good man, instead?

How magical is your world? You could have a fountain in town powered by a Decanter of Endless Water and water crops with that...

The spellcraft skill already includes items. But it requires a 70+Caster Level of the item to get all functions, and 50+CL for its main function. Which is quite ridiculous, but as one of the PCs in my game has somewhere around a 75 spellcraft, it happens quite often anyway.

You need to rotate GMs at least twice around 6 minutes apart to ensure uniform browning... Oh, wait. Sorry, wrong topic. We've tried this, but every time someone else takes a turn at GMing for a few months, their game crashes, then I end up running something. I've successfully had a co-GM for...

I have nothing to confess. I like all styles of music, and am quite happy with my Nina Simone, Nat King Cole, Prodigy, Johnny Cash, Ramones, Starship, etc... I don't have much to brag about either. Just some Skyforger, Bal-Sagoth, Rudra, Therion, Nightwish, Mael Mordra, Vesperian Sorrow...

I roll out in the open, so when a death is coming, everyone sees it. And the fights where the BBEG gets disintegrated mid-speech, or the BBEG gets turned into a bunny are far more memorable than yet another long drawn out fight where the bad guy finally dies after thirty arrows, 8 spells, and...

I would cut halflings and half-elfs. Half-elfs are just all-around boring. And to make halflings interesting, you'd have to change their entire race anyway ( cannibal halflings, etc ) and might as well create a new race. I like gnomes, and with they had ended up with favored class: Druids...

"Chain of Eyes" from Magic of Faerun. Everyone who brushes against you could be implanting a spy on you. Heat Metal at check points. Hand over all permitted metal goods. If you try to sneak metal weapons or armor through, not only will the guards know, but it will start burning a hole in you...

The PCs in my campaign are as special as their deeds have made them. They are special in having survived exploring most of the top layers of Undermountain in their early careers. They are special in having interveened in various world-threatening plots in their mid-careers. And they are special...

I can't speak for anyone else, but I get pizza for quality, not price. I wouldn't order from Domino's if they were the only ones in town. And I only get Pizza Hut if I'm at the drive through and want some quick greasy cheese. I'll get Uno's, Pizza Chicago, or Round Table instead where a $25...

Don't use training rules. The PCs gain exp and level at the end of the session. The wizards get their new spell slots, but without a spell in them. When they finally get some downtime, do their new spells known appear in their spell books.

All but one, and he's the one who made it from 5th to 23th without dying, and then retired when his player got a job on swing shift. Well, not quite that many. There were a few in the first few levels that got destroyed and lost in Undermountain, and they haven't been recovered. Everyone else...

You have 4th level spells max, and no 0 level spells. What are you using Quicken Spell on?

Turn into a hamster. No one expects a Diminutive rodent to fire eldrich blasts from any-ole undefined bodypart...

I generally just throw on a $5, for pizzas, which averages out to between 20% and 14% depending on how much we ordered that day. At restaurants, though, I'm overly generous, having worked at a Denny's once as waitstaff. If the service is decent, then at least 20% goes to tip. Up to 50% if we're...

All but one. Damn him, only one to survive 18 levels, and then retire, without dying. But everyone else who has played at least a dozen sessions has died, often multiple times.
