    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    cheese wiz, hold the desert sand Make my case effectively and with poignant elegance that Sherwood Schwarz was a Sydney Sheldon wannabe; and Jeannie was way hotter than both Marianne and Ginger put together. Smugly note that a show without magic in it should not be featured on this board and...

    How Do you Say "No" to your PCs

    set game limits at the beginning At the game start, here is what I allow... (books, classes, races etc) I may allow others, see me before assuming... Please respect my decision if I say NO. I might say no for game balance, or consistancy with my world. Or because I am an egomanical control...

    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    Outraged about plugs in trolls, mostly because I have nothing worth plugging. States that the professor had the hots for the skipper, only because I want Maryann for myself. Knowing that tomatoes are a fruit and not really a vegetable is a good start down the path of enlightenment. However...

    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    Driven mad by this troll, this poster has been missing for over a week. Staggering, wandering, searching for enlightenment, he finds sanctuary in a Tibetan monastery. During that time achieves enlightenment and inner peace. Leaves monastery to rejoin world, discovers that he was only in New...

    Undead thread! Rolls to turn thread. Fails. Goes back to miserable existance.

    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    Wastes valuable moments of his life monitoring this pointless troll in the fruitless hope of finding just the right response that will vindicate his point of view. A point of view that he isn't even sure that he remembers. Does not get his 15 minutes of fame this time. Again. Goes back to...

    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    Continues to show lack of any evidence of enlightenment by trying to prolong a thread that has long since expired and that nobody retains any interest in. Continues on and displays for all to see that he 'doesn't have a clue' Thanks all those who agreed with him (none) and continues to wait...

    Re: you are now enlightened Notices with dissapointment that the masses remain un-enlightened. Makes pointless and useless comments about own previous post that no one will read instead they will skip to next post without fin...

    This is a Troll [meta-thread]

    you are now enlightened Here is the ubiquitous "I haven't read all of this thread, sorry if what I post rehashes what is already said" post. Then proceeds to wax eloquently over a topic completely unrelated, utterly without merit, positively tedious, and logically incorrect. Waits in vain for...

    How do I get better tactics from my players?

    Oh, no! not a back in the old days post! Our highly customized 1E campaign in the olden days was way stingy on XPs. And treasure. Characters needed to use every weapon, spell, clue, bit of string, rope, sack, oil, etc they had to survive and thrive. It was staggeringly hard to move up in...

    LotR-TTT, Gospel Therefrom

    :eek: After 20 years of playing D&D, I finally convinced my wife to try it out. She's been playing with our group for the last 2 years. Her current character in the game I DM is a female dwarf. I'm thinking that her house rule on this one will have to win. :D Secretly, I always believed...

    Roleplaying - snappy patter or storytelling?

    Somewhere in between 1 & 2 Well I don't have time to homebrew a world that could survive a full blown I'll go where ever the characters want to. That would be great but the rest of my life is calling. So what really happens is I try to maintain the illusion that they can do whatever they want...

    Misc Hints for DMs.

    put something in your players hands... sometimes a great connection to the adventure is something they can touch and look at. A stone, stick, map etc. Once I gave them an old treasure map that had allegedly survived a fire. I use yellow colored paper, cut it irregularly, singed the edges...

    How old are you?

    Re: Old time Gamers Also 40+ I didn't do chainmail, but my first character class was elf. I still have the dice that came in the box set, but the d20s edges are all rounded off. They are more like balls now. I'd like to join that retirement gaming club. Maybe we can get some attractive...

    'Origin' of Your User Name

    Lookout, another New Englander... My name is actually Barad and I am a Gnome. :D Ok, so I am a middleaged guy who has played D&D for over 20 years and one of his early 1E characters was named Barad and he was a Gnome. He was not necessarily my 'best' character, but he was reknown for being a...
