So you know what I went through . . .

Thanks for the interest. In the past, the kind of romance angles involved some of the characters growing interested in damsels in distress who responded affectionately. Since this is a supers game it is in a modern setting. Some of the characters have shown interests in sleazy bar chicks...

Mouseferatu, you and I would have to have a conversation back behind the woodshed if you pulled that in the group I was in. ;) Seriously, though I think I'll echo a little bit of what has already been said. I think you have become too comfortable with the system and it is showing. It seems...

He is rarely disruptive in the sense that he causes other serious grief. There has always been a tradition of good natured ribbing that goes on at the table, so whereas it is possible that any given night something that is accepted could have caused him to snap, I hesitate to put the blame on...

An extremely disturbing update . . . Today before D&D started I politely asked him to join me outside for a beer. He does not drink but I do and after our conversation, I needed another. I asked him if there was a problem during the supers game and he proceeded to tell me that he problem was...

That is an excellent question all things considered. He expressed an interest in doing the same kinds of things the others were doing. There is a lot of romance and intrigue in my supers game. He told me he wanted to do what the others were doing. I tried it with him with were apparently...

As I recall, the rules are pretty clear about 'defeating an encounter' vs 'killing everything in the room.' Classic example which occurred in a game I played in was The Case of the Furious Frost Giant. There was a place we had to go but rumors of a Frost Giant guarding the area were numerous...

Thanks for understanding. I guess I threw in terms like Meltdown just to make the post more interesting to read since I knew it would be long. There are a bunch of different things I would have done in retrospect, now that I have had awhile to think about it. However, one of the things that...

For anyone who wants rid of Raise Dead and a slightly more dangerous campaign world, check out Privateer Press' Iron Kingdoms.

Thanks. See, one of the things I think I did not articulate correctly was that I thought he was worried about doing the romance angle and doing the occult expert. I THOUGHT that just seeing that it was a mystery (of which is is the biggest supporter) would show him he did not have to be...

Its kind of funny you say that. One of the players at the game had just recently had his appendix burst and we were playing at his house so he could play.

Oh I did not mean to make fun of him at all. 'Meltdown player' was just something I wanted to use since I would be referencing several different people. I think your idea was a really good one and honestly, I wish I could have come up with something that quick.

There are a few more details I feel comfortable in sharing now (as the original post was too long for me to info-dump on everyone). I have known the guy since 1992 and gamed with him off and on (mostly on) for about that amount of time. He is (was) seeing a doctor. He is (was) on pills. He...

One of the most unusual player meltdowns I have ever experienced happened at last night's session. Some background is required but bear with me . . . I run Mutants & Masterminds every Friday night and have been running the same supers campaign for years. Last night a player of mine (who has...

Sadly, I have never gotten the opportunity to use one - but that is not by choice. I have always felt they would make excellent masterminds of evil, especially if you are going for some kind of Lovecraftian feel for a campaign or adventure.

I am excited but am going to be really busy. I volunteered to mix drinks for two parties at the con and I know myself well enough to realize those are going to be rough mornings the days after.

Hmm, since she's your ex does that make her available?

Not evil. I could see Batman doing it. But not at sword point. At Batarang point.

I'm really hot to get it and I hope it lives up to my high expectations. :)

Thanks for the sales pitch. I saw it at the FLGS yesterday but will pick it up when I actually will have a chance to read it (with GenCon coming up, I'll be awfully busy for the next week or so). But it certainly seems like a great game. Brotherhood of the Wolf is all you had to say, man. ;)
