    RPG books you returned...

    How many RPG books have you returned due to publisher screw ups (not post office or vendor issues)? What were the issues, and how good was the publishers customer service? (My brother has a similar post on RPG.net that he posted for me. So if you answered there you don't need to here, but if...

    Getting away from miniatures.

    I use miniatures, tokens, dice only because position and distance is often important enough to be reasonably precise about it, but to keep them form being the focus of the game I do not make use of them until its time for initiative.

    Mongoose's "State of the Mongoose"

    I tend to run very long games, going to high, sometimes very high, levels. So when 5E does come out, because it is coming, it is only a question of when, to draw me to it it will have to answer one problem. Scaling a game form low to high level, within a world, and have it make intuitive sense...

    (Mongoose) Free Epic Campaign - The Pirates of Drinax

    Am I correct to presume this will eventually be in print?

    Reviews you can trust?

    The only reason I wrote reviews of products is I liked them. My time was, and is, too valuable to waste writing about "average", or even "crappy" products. Were they "fair", "balanced", no idea. I never received training.

    Downsizing what I play with

    For me I like having as few things for my mind to track as possible. I don't want or need to juggle 200 things in my head when running a game. I do not find that fun. Its not that I can't do it, even after my brain damage and loss of IQ I still have a higher IQ than "average", I think I am still...

    Downsizing what I play with

    Bottom line is, I as the GM have to enjoy running the game. If I am more frustrated with all the demanded add ons than I enjoy the game, I quit running the game. So if my players want me to run the game, they have to be happy living within the boundaries I draw. Otherwise they are free to run...

    Most pleasant gaming purchase, EVER.

    Usually when I order some kind of gaming item my wife is very neutral about it. Meaning I'll show it to her and she'll nod her head, maybe grunt, maybe even say a word, like "OK." Anyways, on Cyber Monday I told her about the 50% sale offered on Kenzer's Hacklopedia of Beasts. I told my wife I...

    Downsizing what I play with

    The DM always has the final say as to how complex and difficult they want their game to be, so have every right in the world to do so. If your players don't like that, tell them to DM, otherwise, its going to be how you want it to be.

    Litterboxes: Tell us about your crappy Sandbox experiences

    Many of you make me very glad for the groups I have. In one all 6 pretty much equally drive what happens, and in the other 5 out of 8 do, and even the other 3 are focused on at least what their character does. In the 2 I play in the group seems to rotate who is "lead", and sooner or later...

    Anyone have the new character sheet?

    I seem to remember it being posted in one of their sticky threads on their forums.

    This is a great suggestion! Reminds me that the 6 week playtest we ran went great and that we still need to give it a long term try out.

    RPG via Skype?

    Maptools is awesome for handouts! Plus I mainly use it for maps, which I usually just have to import from the module I am using at the time, plus you can create character (and monster) tokens in which you can create macros, which are also easy to write [1d20+modifiers], [2d8+5], etc..., so all...
