The Matrix raises so many philosophical questions that really only a person, as an individual, can determine the answer for themselves. Personally, I see good and evil as relative terms, more or less. What you see with the Matrix movies is a cycle, a dichotomy between man and machine, creator...

Yeah, stripping miniatures is a hassle. Putting them in the Pine Sol and letting them soak is easy. But then scrubbing them off is the hard part. And the room smells like Pine Sol for a day. I admit, I don't know if I try it again. I hope you meet your goal of 100. I've checked out and...

Hey all, How's everybody's miniature painting coming along? My painting slowed down because I moved halfway across the country. I also had to repair a few of the miniatures that got dinged up and rebased others. But now I'm getting back into painting. I should have 52 miniatures completed...

The best way is the most straight forward: "Don't come back."

Question: What's the deal with Stan!'s exclamation point?

The current market reminds me of the d20 glut of the early to mid 2000s, but much more diverse and fragmented. I've kicked around becoming a game designer/writer myself. It's easy to jump in and there's plenty of venues to chose from to promote your work. It's just that there's hundreds of...

43) The character comes back to the group all excited and says: "Hey, I was at this meeting where they told me how to make lots of money, part time, involving my friends and family. It's easier than adventuring. The next meeting is tomorrow. You should come. No, I can't tell you more about it..."

29) He was trying to pawn his magic armor, but Rick made him come back so he could consult "an expert."

I voted "yes." It does bother me, but only a little. Like Nellisir, I'm more tired of reading the word "kickstarter." Also, it seems like the "heavy hitters" of the industry (Reaper Minis, Monte Cook) got more limelight than some of the little guys out there with their kickstarter projects. I'm...

If possible, make sure each player sits with a dark opening behind him or her. This could be a window or a doorway into a dark room. As the DM, every so often glance over their shoulder into the darkness behind them, as if you see something.

It is an advertisement, hands down. The information in those lines is supposed to stand out. The text is supposed to grab the attention of potential players. You can tell them more details later via email or over the phone. You just provide the bare bones, enough to get them hooked. I just...

This advice comes straight from "D&D Personal Ads", by Tony Moseley, from Dragon 282 He suggests using a 3" x 5" index card. Line 1: What I Want ("GM SEEKS PATHFINDER PLAYERS") Line 2: Biological Data (Your name, gender, and perhaps age) Line 3: The Creativity Line ("WILL GM FOR FOOD") Line...

Here are some questions from the "Are You a Munchkin?" quiz from the The Munchkin's Guide to Powergaming... I also think, that in order to be a true munchking powergamer in D&D you have to beg, whine, and plead the DM to let you play a character who's Elminster's nephew, or heck, perhaps even...

I had this same thought more than five years ago. Most of my gaming stuff (RPGs, Wargames, miniatures, etc) comes from before that time. I've toned down on my purchases considerably. My last big purchase was the mint condition Greyhawk Ruins module which I bought for about $75 late last spring...

I really liked MERP.

Same here. Back then Dragon was more about "the hobby." Sure it focused on D&D/AD&D, but you'd see reviews on products from other companies. The magazine also focused more on the roleplaying aspect of the game. Sure, it did crank out variant rules and classes, but 3.0/3.5e turned this up to a...

Point 9: Shut up when the DM is talking. Point 10: Realize that when the DM smiles, it is already too late. :]

As a gamer, medievalist, and literary major I'm annoyed that I was teased with the famous quote by Dante, but instead of getting a review of some sort of adventure or supplement that deals with Dante's concept of Hell, I'm seeing just three more monster manuals with yet even more templates...
