Our DM is a NIN and Tool fan. Unfortunately - he's easily one of the most distractable people at the table as well. So if we played good music during game - we'd lose him to singing along and *really* not get anything done.

Agreed with the individual questioning. It can be handy to get feedback as a group so you can watch their interactions for signs of trouble in the group (players who won't talk, or only one does, or any bullying) - but for the feedback you're trying to get on yourself - go one on one.

I second the suggestion to watch the non-verbal responses, it works pretty well as a rough gauge. You may also want to ask very specific questions - the idea is to make it feel safer for them as your friends to answer honestly. Not "Are you liking my game?" rather ask "What one thing can I...

Pick up a co-DM to help manage the crew? Also opens up plots for you where the coDM takes half the party to "Go cut em off at the pass". ;) Gives you the split you were looking for...

Thanks for getting that cleared up so fast Ambrus (Otherwise I was gonna hit my backups ;) ). And yeah - with regards to errors you run across the site - just let me know about them and I'llg et to them as quickly as I can, which is generally even faster if you give me the error message you ran...

Mine always play by the "I'm not stupid" rule. They'll run away, surrender, and even come back in a few levels for revenge when they think they can take it. If a party doesn't want them to escape - then they must become expert at preventing the option! ... Or have a barbarian or a monk who can...

Define "not working". In what way not working? Is there an error coming up - is it giving you the wrong data - what are your search terms - got *anything* to help me recreate the "not working" state so I can fix it?

In it's favor - the folks working on it have cartoon credits such as the Real Ghostbusters... so for being cartoon, it's the right people to work on a cartoon in terms of writing and development... edit after seeing trailer: Oh for. *sigh* I'm not sure who made the artistic decision to try to...

I just started a Shadowrun game so I actually had to answer this one as of late. It varies on my goals for the game - if I'm looking at a fast short story arc, I'll put the PCs together by hook or by crook and start off somewhere fun. It seems the intro varies by the estimated length in the long...

Admittedly there were other reasons to *not* share with that *particular* loth. ;) Namely the icky vaguely-incestuous Kevin Bacon game.

*chuckle*

Either way it goes, I wanna see the CE's still involved. You guys were doing a spectacular job. :)

.... how adorable. *sneers at Mike* I'm sorry Dave, I really shouldn't say anything (and I'm not entirely sure I'm legally allowed to go into details). But it was wretched what happened before, and it is wretched how it is being spun now. I want to see KA make it through - but I want even more...

If you hit up some of the folks at Planewalker you should be able to get some help in creating one. :) We tend to be interested in cool projects like what you're talking about.

Decent enough system - there's a vulnerability with the way they have you add dice together to hit a target that you might have some statistical anomalies where it's a feast or famine for your character. (Serenity has the same issue.) Combat rounds are *very* complex and I recommend making sure...

... merging succubus and eryines? Excuse me? Not only is that an incredibly poor writing decision - to attempt to merge two creatures that serve *entirely* different, parallel and *contrasting* roles... but I find that on some level personally offensive. They're alike only in that they're "hot...

Rule 0 is "GM's game GM's rule..." Rule 1 is "All these people at the table are human too and should be respected as such." Aka - if they can keep it solely in character - bully for them and go for it. But if they can't... it's ugly, and someone somewhere crossed the line from roleplaying their...

Same here with my groups. And really - be happy that they do that - because the alternative is a lot of inter-player fighting, and possibly destroyed out of character relationships.

5 please - similar reasons as Jon. Do we have a statement yet from the GM's who's running what or are you guys gonna make me go all the way over to the registration site to see what's on offer?
