    Had a "wow" moment lately?

    This is tough to describe because it was the end of a long story arc, one of those you-had-to-be-there moments. We had a great role-playing moment during which one player was confronting his former teacher, someone we had chased halfway around the globe to bring back for a trial. This had gone...

    How selfish are your PCs?

    I want to change my answer - I had chosen the in the middle, but when I really started to think about it, we're actually a little more on the unselfish side. Even when we're playing evil characters, very often we still divide treasure by who can actually use it. Sure, we pretend to be evil...

    Exclusive spells: Yea or nay?

    Love exclusive spells. I think it's great flavor, and in our group, I have not seen a player with a wizard character get upset about not having access to certain (new?) spells (I think it's because our players tend to play specialists and are used to having restricted access to spells). I'm glad...

    Let's get something straight

    Though I haven't read the class thoroughly, there was some suggestion that the warlock class was leaning towards the side of evil, too. As for the "hexing" comment, Wiccans don't hex. ;) As for the suggestion of "flaming," I was just on a message board for comics and I had to come back here...

    First Character Deaths

    Oh, this is horrible - I really can't remember. :( The first one I do remember really well happened in high school; my character was being stalked by a vampire and the GM at the time made it really horrible - just really scary to the point of making me really uncomfortable.

    Give me snapshots of New Orleans

    I have never been, but I can't help but think of the movie Angel Heart whenever anyone mentions New Orleans. It might at least put you in the right frame of mind.

    Dry spell?

    Kind of. We're having a difficult time getting together due to our schedules, but for the most part we get together pretty regularly - normally once a week, but at least two to three times a month. When we miss games, I tend to read my gaming materials; I buy so many PDFs that I don't often...

    Minimum time and/or number of players to game?

    Yeah, I have to agree with the "3 and 3" for another reason: one of our players has to drive a significant distance to get to game and I want it to be worth his time. Also, I love getting immersed in the game - if it's less than 3 hours, I feel like I just got to the good part and we have to...

    Minimum time and/or number of players to game?

    The last couple of months I have a been a gamer frustrated. We have one player who is out for the next month or so and a few casual players who have limited availability anyway. Even I (and I am rabid gamer) have missed a few games due to pesky "real world" concerns. The last game session was...

    Just for fun - a poll on PDFs v. Books

    Yeah, I'm a big fan girl. :o I really do love your stuff. I think the planes stuff has been some of the best, really. It made me change my mind on planar settings and I think it's going to influence the direction of my campaign.

    Just for fun - a poll on PDFs v. Books

    I do write short reviews...though on RPGnow when I get the chance. :o I'm usually too busy reading posts here working. Some things I've bought recently that I liked have been mentioned on the forums a lot lately already, but just to name a few: Six Living Planar Gates Advanced Gamemaster's...

    Just for fun - a poll on PDFs v. Books

    Ah, but are you liking what you see in one over the other? I guess that was what I was really trying to say, that the stuff in PDFs have been really inspiring me.

    Just for fun - a poll on PDFs v. Books

    I mean wacky in a good way. :) Inspired by the Planes thread, I finally got around to buying the Six Living Planar Gates pdf. There's some wackiness in that. edit: I also want to say that lately I've been looking forward to buying PDFs more and more. When I hear something like "so-and-so is...

    Just for fun - a poll on PDFs v. Books

    Having just printed out newly purchased PDFs, it occurred to me that I am really getting more of a kick out of the wacky stuff in PDFs than in the books I've bought in the last year or so. For fun, I thought I'd post a poll to see what you guys are liking these days. :)

    COMPLETELY unnattached to life.

    Best visual ever. For some reason, I think this one is really, really creepy. I may need to borrow this.

    Most embarassing gaming moment?

    LOL! Oh god, that's the worst! I never know what to say when our friend's kids come pouring into the room during a game. We play evil characters in one campaign and it can get pretty vile. :o

    Why do most groups avoid planar games?

    I'm not Phil, but I am a fan. :) You can find the PDFs at RPG Now: http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=4577& http://www.rpgnow.com/product_info.php?products_id=4002

    Most embarassing gaming moment?

    this...can't...be...true. Great googly moogly! :confused: Although, we game with a cop sometimes and put a couple of beers in him...... OK, my embarrassing moment, something my friend Dread October will never let me live down. In our mid twenties, we used to game after hours in a comic...

    My 13 year old Daughter and her friends are playing D&D in the Kitchen...

    Absolutely nothing. I have nothing against the guys in my gaming group either, but it's still pretty cool when just the girls get together and game. Actually, on second thought, I feel kinda bad now. :( I wouldn't want to be excluded and wouldn't want anyone to feel left out. I withdraw my...

    My 13 year old Daughter and her friends are playing D&D in the Kitchen...

    I was never a pretty girl but otherwise you have described the teen-aged me to a T. :D Up with goth girls! edit: Teflon Billy, way cool! She needs to start a girl-only gaming group now.
