    Are you a gamer or a reader?

    Now I wish I hadn't voted...I thought it meant "gamer* video games, and *reader* books overall... Yes, I'm a gamer. I dont read most of the D&D *money pit stuff* ever

    Spells that are annoying to DMs

    As stated in other boards.... healing spells, and resurections spells. All over used...and at times become way to easy to use or get.

    Mixing Races....and why DM's shouldn't allow it

    Once again, still laughing. Now, when I started this blog, that was the stuff I feared as a DM, though now I must point out, I've never seen such things before. And, would still say no to them, but if a player even mentioned those things to me, once I finished laughing, I would allow them to...

    Weapons doing greater damage to Large Sized Creatures...why?

    I agree with, "its biger, it has more HP" not talking about that, my point is that somehow it means that you do more damage...when damage is based on size and strength. I could attack a giant, and cut it across the side, however, since I'm so small, my attack is not really that serious in the...

    Weapons doing greater damage to Large Sized Creatures...why?

    Yes, they are to be enjoyed. However, when they deal with realistic things "combat" it should make sense...board games make sense towards the constraints of the board game...they aren't trying to copy reality, while throwing in a dash of magic. Make it make sense, that's all I'm saying: see my...

    The Illusion of Powergaming

    I couldn’t have said it better myself. Now, I understand the main writer of this blogs point: in truth, there is no such thing as a Power Gamer. This is true, for some games are about kicking ass and taking names in the best, and most devastating ways. I also agree that: books, mins, and other...

    Have fantasy novels gotten "better" since D&D?

    Preach on brother preach on. Most of it is pulp garbage...and I can't stand it. About Wheel of TIme, if you've read DUNE..then you know what I'm saying.

    Weapons doing greater damage to Large Sized Creatures...why?

    First of all, I think that's stupid if it's true. That means that I should go an attack and elephant because somehow I can chop through it’s leg easier than I can through a horses, which, has smaller bones, which are far less dense, and surrounded by less thick muscle. I think the rules might...

    Good RPG gaming fiction, your favorites

    Well, if you want to play the same old same old, then LOTR and Wheel of Time. I think Elric is a great book, as well as the other novels which he is in. Conan is great, but you have to find the few which were very well writen, some turned conan into a powergaming min-maxer that made him almost a...

    What proportion of your D&D game is combat?

    TO be sure, but I was speaking of gaming that wasn't stated as 'Hack`n Slash' those games I agree should be alot of kicking ass and taking names, your in a dungeon...not alot of room for indepth roleplaying. However, when using a story based game, with lots of plot and character oriented...

    I HATE the term GISH

    Well, I don't care, but understand why you think it sounds funny. It does, but Game On.

    What's the problem with bringing PCs back from the dead?

    IT does more than that. It breaks laws of good story telling: once someone's dead, leave them dead...if you bring them back, there has to be a point, a plot. If it's just because you can, and the power is out there, then, like everyone else has said. Death becomes a mater of the coin, and both...

    The "Build"

    Yes, and I've never used a preset game. I refuse them, and when in the past I've seen them, or even read them, I found them boreing. All the different books now are speaking a new breed of gamers that arn't, I'm sorry to say, very creative. The books are their game; or they play games that...

    What proportion of your D&D game is combat?

    This is how I do it too, its a build up...but when it comes, its rough and some people are losing their lives. There are little things along the way, minor foes...enviormently enemies, thirlls from landslides, fires and so; lots of plots, and discussions, detective work if the players plan to...

    What would you do if someone died?

    Well, I will start with this. I was DM'ing once, and during that game, which ended up being a three year campagin, my father died. Everyone wondered if I was going to keep DM'ing...and I did, but it was different. He wasn't invloved. For you, I would say this..and dont take it the wrong way...

    Dealing with powergamers

    Well, one thing for sure: if he's bothering you this much, he should be told to change, or leave...and thats that. You can't worry about pleasing everyone, that never works and in the end, just makes things worse. Now, with the making herown arrows things, do you know how long it takes to make...

    Adapting the Lycanthrope Template to +0?

    Well, if I was the player, I wouldn't be a werewolf under these rules. Second, I think something in the elven blood should fight of these type effects, thats why only humans can become werewolves and other such creatures. He shouldn't have to take feats to do what a werewolf can do at base...
