    D&D 4E D&D4e Social interactions, the Sweet Spot and Advancement

    Sorry. I was unaware that D&D 4E was the same thing as Mutants and Masterminds. I was also unaware that you guys were playing it. Not that I really care what the system is, more or less, anyway, as you all know. Players make the game, not systems. It is up to me, not a rules set.

    D&D 4E D&D4e Social interactions, the Sweet Spot and Advancement

    I guess. In the old days, you always seemed fairly cognizant of characters' fame and how they would affect things. I still don't know if there needs to be a rule for this sort of thing. If a character/player can think of it, does there need to be a rule for it? Not that it really matters, I...

    Bad GMs are out there, I suppose. I guess I just wouldn't play with a bad GM! Ha! Of course, not everyone thinks like me...

    D&D 4E D&D4e Social interactions, the Sweet Spot and Advancement

    I find this somewhat redundant. Isn't this what characters do when they play in a world? Don't they change it through their deeds and successes? I hardly would feel right using a "mechanic" to change the world I was playing in. If I can't do it through actual play, then I wouldn't want to do...

    Well, I'm sorry to hear you can't make it. We could really use your shield! ;) Don't work too hard...

    I'm good for Saturday. Vince has said any time after lunch, so can everyone sort of predict when they might be available? :) And as for Wednesdays, let's just not talk about them, okay?

    D&D for busy Dads

    Let's face it, Chris, we are all little boys in manly clothing. ;)

    D&D for busy Dads

    Of course, this begs the obvious comment: Real men don't play D&D.

    John's Gen Con gaming (and stupid spending) report

    What to look for in the future: IM: The innkeeper gives you an ale. Mark: What's his name? IM: The ale has no name. Mark: The innkeeper. (sound of IM opening "People's Names") IM: His name is Walagunemaagu. Mark: Cool. (game progresses... 10 minutes later...) Mark: What was the name of...

    So, when can we kick some ass again? I'm ready to play!

    Healing is a worthy occupation, Thuma. I will be glad to help you in any way I can to achieve this worthy goal.

    Runequest vs. every other RPG system

    I believe I have been misinterpreted. I have no qualms with guerilla tactics. Let's move on! I just have a problem believing that we are anything but mighty! When the fight is at hand, we act, we fight, and we win! Hooray! No one is saying that anyone is looking for heroism, but if you...

    Runequest vs. every other RPG system

    Well stated! I'm just having fun. As for being a party that doesn't want to be led, that is all fine and good. I just wish we could stay on the same page about what we are doing. We want to vanquish the Enslavers. This is goal number one. Goal number two should be to go about it in a...

    "We all agreed, no leaders!" "Right. No leaders." "Right. Now, shut up and do as I say!" ~paraphrased from Time Bandits Thorm will get his battles and his armies soon enough, I think. Let's get to the Azraelites. Then, let's start recruiting. I intend to start my...

    Runequest vs. every other RPG system

    It is my feeling that some folks don't perhaps understand, or discount, Inzeladun Master's desire to have fun. Olan swung from a chandelier, if you will remember, when we killed the hag. No roll was ever made. The spirit of the game called for heroic action and IM let it slip through...

    Runequest vs. every other RPG system

    Personally, I don't get worked up over systems. The game for me is not about what framework I am working under. Of course, I am me, and you are you. I like to be challenged in a game. It doesn't matter what game I am playing, I like to be challenged. I enjoy overcoming obstacles, and I...

    Chachi, your post made me smile. I know that we have butted heads (as I have with several party members...) but it should never be taken in a personal way, and I am glad that no one has really gotten truly upset. Olan is who he is and The Owl is who she is and I wouldn't change her for...
