I had a great luxury of meeting and spending time with John Wick, drinking at the Safehouse and discussing L5R... The next day, he offered to give me a DDT, right there on the concrete at Gencon

It reminds me of a discussion a friend and I had a few years ago. SciFi Channel has generally become less scifi -- heck, it barely shows even BAD scifi -- and has become more of the action-adventure PG13 channel. While it's not bad, you get the feeling that them pushing Scare Tactics and Ghost...

Ouch. Generally, in games I've played in or have run as a GM, once it goes to the next round, too bad. We generally work on a guideline that if you forget that you have silence cast on you, and don't fuss about it... tough noogies. However, we usually don't run into those problems. We...

When I put my worlds together, sometimes I begin with the main area where the adventures will take place, and paint the rest of the world in broad strokes, places and things to be explored... kind of the way I feel about the Real World - living in the US, I can make some broad generalizations...

As far as I know, you can 'upgrade' weapons until you reach a total of +10 enchantments total. That's how I run it in my game - you can add 'pluses' or abilities, but you can't remove... so you could have a +1 axe, and add flaming to it, and then later another +1. I know Rokugan/Oriental...

I played something similiar in a Forgotten Realms game. I just simply played a rogue, with a decent amount of Bluff and the social skills. Actually, he alternated between a paladin of Lathander, a priest of Mask, and a priest of Bane. He was more of a religious infiltrator type. I had all...

Yeah... that's that whole phishing thing. Like someone pointed out, the point of it is to get credit card numbers, SSNs, etc... it's a spray-and-pray thing, where they mass-send it out, and then wait for that miniscule amount of people to fall for it, and then wham. They have your (in this...

My favorite CRPGs, in particular order or era: Fallout series Arcanum Diablo 2 (for semirandom D&Dness) Icewind Dale 2 ... and definitely the 'oldskool' Goldbox SSI AD&D first-edition games... Pool of Radiance, Azure Bonds, and Silver Blades are my favoritest...!

I really enjoyed GURPS Fantasy. I liked that dark elves weren't black; it was a mindset. They were pure racists, who wanted to remove non-elves from the world. Except the epic-level spell went horribly wrong, and DREW people to the world... like the Templars, and Crusaders and Muslims... and...

I really like the thought about having 'just because' laws in the commandments because it really forces the dominance issue. I think, regardless of a good/evil god, there should always be that pressure to conform. I'd see the religion as being very cause and effect, which will also punish the...

It's not a modern setting, but I love how Legend of the Five Rings handles zombies - and skeletons, which are only zombies that the skin's fallen off of. :) More or less, until you destroy the porcelain mask animating them... they keep coming. The limbs seek you out, the headless body shambles...

As for Bad Guys doing the CdG manuever... I weigh if it's something that the villain would do. The majority of my villains show mercy - it's actually on the Evil Overlord List... show mercy. Then, the good guys will cut you slack later on, feeling that they 'owe you one'... But, there are...

I remember starting to game when I must have been around six or sevenish. It was one of the Best Xmas Evar... My mom bought my brother and I both the red-box D&D, the blue Expert set, and the fullon Crossbows and Catapaults toys... whee :)

Cheating... Back home in Michigan, we had a guy who would always kind of fudge rolls. We were playing Rolemaster, so my other friend - the GM - just started subtracting 200 from the roll, figuring that was about the average amount he was overestimating the roll. Here in my current group, our...

Long-time lurker, first time poster on here. I'm currently looking for a group to join, or players in/near Knoxville, TN. My friends and I are in Maryville/Alcoa, but generally are looking for more variety and to find more gamers. Currently, we have tended to play D&D - of all types; Call of...
