My response. D&D is a game. By nature, they are not evil. However, many people recognize the addictive components of games paired with individuals who already have psychological conditions that essentially make the line between reality and fantasy blurred. Then again, a woman here had her...

Most gamers prefer Willow. I'm sure someone has done a study. As a long time fan of BtVS, a few things leap to mind on this topic. Sure, all the actresses are pretty. Its Hollywood. I think they go out on a limb as far as their little (beep beep beep beep) will take them but honestly, no...

I like this. This is sweet. You need a journal though, or at least a few monitors showing folks having a discussion on the subject. Some sort of record that is left by some person/group of the last folks to die. They don't know whats killing them, so they speculate. Only, they don't think...

Hmmm I had an elf that was somewhat necro-happy (magical sense only). Hugh was more of a studier of things. He wanted to know what made things tick. Machinery....bah....magic? Bah again...now the undead, there was a puzzle. How do they do it? He toyed with alchemy quite a bit - Hugh was...

What is amusing... It was going to take them just about a week...heh. I had a feeling that was a bit optimistic on their part, unless they were going to start semi-arbitrarily round-filing submissions... ("What? Arial? I hate arial! In the trash you go!"). Maybe Hasbro owns significant...

GD. Next time, somebody shoot me if I don't proofread my posts.

Hmmm...wow alot of potential fun there.... Aristocrat 1 (or so) This gives you some legitimacy and really represents your background. Make sure you have a background where everyone knows you're from some sort of mid-level courtier. Maybe have some stories about your past. Now here's the...

D20 uber-system Here's the deal. D20 works very well for D&D. However, there are enough differences that Forgotten Realms is really not base D&D. Its fairly tough to drop a normal D&D char into FR and have it compete. Same goes with Star Wars D20, CoC and any of the other D20 engine-based...

This flying island thing reminds me of the Southpark episode that was run (rerun?) last night. Captain Chaos was trying to destroy Southpark but everything he came up with his sidekick would say "The Simpson's did it!"... Fairly amusing. No flying islands in any submission of mine that was...

I had to stress alot of times the fact that allies, underlings and henchmen are rarely slaves. They take what they hear from you about what you want to do and how you want it done, shove it through a filter that is basically their perception, memory of your conversations with them and their own...

My wife, who is not a gamer but she has played one or two in the far, far past, read my submissions. The one she liked best and thought she'd pay for was of course the one all of my gamer friends thought was the least likely to succeed. That is what drove my multiple entries...she was very...

Speaking of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, just borried a copy of Uncle Tupelo's "No Depression" from a friend, planning on hitting that after "Strange Little Girls"

Tori Amos and Strange Little Girls is currently playing. Pretty cool, all covers including one by Slayer. Word is, the guys from Slayer thought it was pretty damn cool she's covering one of their songs and sent her a T-shirt - one of those...

I think given the statistics I don't have a chance in hell. In the previous post however .... I'm fairly confident with my luck that it was my submission on which the dog was widdling.... That said, I'm going through a few thoughts. First, this was fun. I feel confident my ideas were...

Ah see, there's where you're wrong...two rings DO stack. The reason is obscured in their documentation, but accurate. The first ring they send you has a "farfetched" immortality bonus ability. The second has a "dubious" immortality bonus ability. Two separate types, so they stack. If...

Hmmm CdG against a helpless foe sounds evil, regardless of what variant on a neutral alignment he is. I enjoy CN, its awfully fun to play. But there has to be a line between "impulsive or driven by current whim" and "killing because I'm pissed". Crap, in real life I tend to be impulsive at...

Just got done playing one...Paladin 2, rogue 3 (and fighter 2) at game end. Here was my take. This was a rogue, turned around (a bit too much) by the "saving graces" of the goddess of luck in that world. She abandoned her theiving ways and became, instead, a champion of her god (or at least...

Always hated comeliness, unless taken in moderation. For a while, we ran with a number of "additional" attributes that we rolled or computed to describe "other" factors during some 2e campaigns. We had a set of house rules where, under certain circumstances, those attributes effectively served...

I played in a campaign once where every session was a "save the world from unspeakable horror" kind of deal. Only trouble is, if they stop the bad guy from doing the ritual, they couldn't notice any difference. If the bad guy completed the ritual, they couldn't notice any difference. Every...
