Hey Djeta! Just curious if you have a tape collection of all of those old MST3K episodes. I probably have about 100 or so of the episodes - 3 to a tape - mostly from the Joel era. That was probably one of the smartest things I've ever done, seeing as the airing rights have expired to just about...

I have a reputation, somewhat unjustly deserved, of being a killer DM. I view it more as letting the dice fall where they may and scaling my adventures to a higher degree of difficulty. I also don't allow resurrections (just once in many years of playing). But I also give my players many ways...

I went to the "Howl at the Moon" in Chicago and found it lacking. It made me wish for the one in the Flats. Good times, there.

I'd have to say that I think Dragon is different now. As a DM, I started to find out the magazine's utility was dwindling over the years. This is due to the fact that quite bit of the articles are aimed at players now. The ones aimed at DM's specifically weren't enough to hold my interest - or...

Anyone have an update on when the winning entry of WOTC's campaign design contest will be released? It's been a little while now, hasn't it?

"Risk 2210" is much more in-depth than original risk. There are cards, commanders, etc. Alliances are important. You can conquer the moon (!!!!). We have had a great time with it. The best thing about it is that is (I think) 5 turns long, so you don't have to wait for someone to mop up the...

Risk 2210. Fantastic game.

I guess I'm lucky. The postmen around here are pretty good about not bending stuff.

To avoid breaking up the group, maybe you guys oughta play Risk, Axis and Allies or some other beer & pretzel game for a few weeks. It might recharge the batteries without the group drifting apart. Maybe then they'll be ready to try something different RPG wise or you will be ready for D&D...

Great point, Rav. I started wondering the same thing. Is this girl fairly attractive, Ashrum? It might explain a great deal about her legacy of being a great gamer.

"My only wish is that the world forgets me"....something like that. It's one of my favorites.

Sounds like she's an attention hog, quite frankly. If you have a stable group without her, I wouldn't think twice about letting her go. You only put up with people like this if you have to - if you don't have enough players. “Don’t us any divination, the DM will only screw you with it or make...

Thanks for rolling up your sleeves and digging up that thread, Darkness, my friend. :) Very interesting and exactly the kind of feedback - along with what has already been said in this thread - that I was looking for. Colonel - I almost picked up "The Spectre King" at Games Plus. If it really...

Thanks for the input, guys. :)

I asked about you, by the way Mark. Curt said you were a bum! Just funnin', yo. :)

One of the games I picked up at Games Plus this past week was "Pendragon", along with the "Boy King" campaign. Could any of you tell me your experiences with playing this game. Is it DM friendly? Do the combats go smoothly? Does it make for a good mini-campaign? Any input is appreciated ahead...

I was at a seminar in Chicago this week, and before I went I had asked a few people to give me some good game stores in the Chi-town area. Regrettably, Chicago does not seem to have that many. However, to a person, everyone said that I needed to check out "Games Plus" in Mount Prospect - about a...

As I said earlier, This is one area I insist the PC's take seriously. A few attempts have been made at interjecting some humorous names, but I won't allow it. We do enough clowning and joking around, anything else would totally ruin the suspension of disbelief. I am a firm believer that names...

As a DM, this is one area where I insist on VETO rights. A few of my players have tried to slip stuff through - in good fun, but it's one of the only areas I am really picky with. We do enough joking at the table that I'm afraid goofy names would throw every shred of suspension of disbelief out...

Thanks guys!
