    How have you gotten rid of unwanted players?

    I used the tried and true method of, at the end of a session, saying "Alright, so how's gonna make next session? Raise your hand. Ohhh.. Not so fast there Tom."

    Buying & Selling items

    I'm not a big fan of shopping IRL, and do -that- as fast as I can. So I really don't feel like "wasting" precious gaming time doing so.

    When the system gets in the way

    Well. That does make some sense, and do seem pretty cool. Once, maybe twice.. But if it happens all the time.. It's just weird. And to -prevent- it from happening all the time? It is right for some types of game, I'll admit that. I -will- add, however, that it comes with it's own set of...

    When the system gets in the way

    There's quite a step between simulating reality and ignoring it. And doesn't break the game in any way? Jumping from a knowledge of engineering to the ability of making walls fall down.. Would a character with knowledge(Arcana) be able to dispel magic at will? It's about the same thing...

    When the system gets in the way

    For.. Real? An engineer who encounters someone in an hallway can just make the wall fall on them? Woah, I missed my major in college.

    What is cheating?

    Honestly, for the difference it -might- possibly, maybe make, I really don't see any benefit to make a fuss about it anyway. "Oh noes! They figured out my BBEG cast Cone of Cold!" It.. Really matters little. And I know. There can be some extreme examples of where it can, possibly, maybe...

    Most excellent! And glad to hear he's actually a belated father's day gift after all. :)

    Role Playing products that failed

    Complete Commoner: New feats, skill uses and prestige classes for the commoner class! Also include a new base class, Farmer, which is slightly different but still as underpowered!

    When Players don't respect the DM's rules - Help!

    Yah, for real. Honestly, I can sorta understand their point to a degree. But that "him or me" crap.. Anybody who gives me that sort of ultimatum automatically finds themselves at the losing end of it.

    Pronouns

    Ahh I see. Of course, replace courier with mob, and the 'their' is not singular anymore, even though the sentence remains the same. Of course, a mob with just one umbrella is kinda silly. :) Yah, I came to that conclusion and edited in my post something similar. It still seems like a silly...

    [Hordes of the Abyss] Using, rather than changing

    But, a point you forgot, Ari, is that it totally goes against canon! ... Oh. You did point that out. I do like the idea that, when you kill ultimate evil, you become it. Because, somehow, you had to use similar ways to achieve it. Obviously, in the case of other demons, that isn't even...

    4th Edition D&D

    :uhoh: I see.. Wow.

    What is cheating?

    Another problem with PCvPlayer knowledge, I think, is overcompensation. I think that a lot of people tend to play their characters knowing -less- than they should, in an attempt to avoid metagaming. I had that come into focus pretty heavily when a newbie in a game I played in, who I know...

    Pronouns

    Of course it is, since women are individuals as well, and therefore are still marginalized. And how is the subject still plainly singular if you use a plural pronoun, but not plainly gender-neutral if you use a male pronoun? I am so confused. And you guys would really hate french. Every...

    What a great umm...adventure seed!

    Well not with THAT attitude!

    Pronouns

    I'm a tad confused. If the use of "he" as a gender-neutral pronoun excludes women, wouldn't the use of "they" equally exclude individuality, and promote groupthink?

    When the system gets in the way

    I didn't mean to imply that one game type is better, or attracts/needs better roleplayers. Just that character creation take a different.. Feel? in those two type of games. My old group played both style of games at different point. We enjoyed both type, and we certainly didn't become...

    New Campaign, need ideas.

    Well, going with the pseudo-european theme, I'll be using a map of Europe (without country borders, obviously) as the campaign map. We'll be starting in what is known to us as France. While I figure there will be an empire of some sort, the characters will be affiliated with a smaller "ruler"...

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Awww, a conspiracy to make you miss one last father's day! This is your first kid, right? I totally -expect- you to update very, very unfrequently this week, at the very least. Then again, after that, updates will be more frequent! How so? "Aww man, gotta get up and feed the baby. Oh well...

    Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

    Heh. If they thought getting his medal late and in the field would faze Normand.. A.. Tomb? Darn it, I knew this would turn into a zombie/mummy game.
