I was there, but you wouldn't know me. I was the guy in the green business shirt who kept checking his palm pilot for the time. (Hey, Lost was on and it takes me an hour to get home from Cambridge. :) ) Man, that OoTS is hilarious, I was rereading it on my way home and I think I weirded out...

Exactly. Most of the time for NPCs that will be attacked, I just write their AC, Dmg, Attack Bonus and HPs. And any possessions they have, of course. ;) NPCs that I don't plan on being attacked are usually commoners who are pretty weak anyway and I just figure they fall in a round or two, I...

You fought a red dragon at first level? Man, and I thought *I* was a mean DM. Good stories all, keep 'em coming!

Hey all. On the SO's & gaming thread The Shaman brought up the subject of first character deaths. I was wondering, how did your first character die, and how did you take it? For myself, I was not present when my first character died. The castle the party was in collapsed, killing everyone...

I met my first girlfriend through a game, so obviously we played together and that worked pretty well. My current girlfriend knows, and even tried once but the game as a whole went awful and she had a bad experience. She's sat in a couple of games since, and I've got her promise that she'll...

I just love roleplaying, and I will play most games or styles that are put in front of me, provided the players and I mesh. Currently I'm playing in a roleplay-heavy Harn game (mostly investigation) and running a Castles & Crusades roleplay-action mixed game. I also like more hack & slash...

Skyrealms of Jorune Mechwarrior Battletech (though Megamek is cool, I should get back into it)

There's a great Penny Arcade about that [edited because reat != great]

Skyrealms of Jorune (3rd edition, I don't know about the others, I could never get them :( ) was a skill-based classless system, although it had HPs. However they were the same as y our stamina and never went up. Though you could get "professions" to start out with, which were basically skill...

Oozes! Does it get more D&D than a hallway filling ooze monster? I think not. Ok, maybe beholders, but that's been done. Think how cool it would be- get into the mind of the ooze! Learn about its thought processes! Slither...eat...slither....ooo, a tasty morsel encased in...

Put me in for: 10-2 Ao the Overkitty's All Flesh Must Be Eaten: Retail Zombies 3-7 Qualidar's d20Future: Bughunters Looking forward to May for a reason other than SW, Thanks!

I am running a Castles & Crusades (a simpler 3e OGL game) game that runs (so far based on 2 sesssions) about once every three weeks. Though I am hoping it will start being more often. I am shooting for every other week. If you are interested, email me at x@yahoo.com where x=skinnydwarf (let's...

*Cries* Not really, I like my job. I'm a temp at the HD at one of the grad schools at Harvard. But getting this job was pure luck (I answered a Monster.com offer and I guess I was one of the first qualified people to write). Before that I was just sending resumes out, hearing nothing, had a...

Personally, I think the 3rd Edition rules are pretty good, but it's been maybe ten years since I played the game, so that might just be youthful enthusiasm talking. Though in places it was poorly edited and hard to understand (character creation can be a real pain, it's not explained well...

Oh man, Skyrealms is such a good game! You should go play it.

Oh god, don't get me started. Ok, not counting games that I've played only once, and this is just off the top of my head (I am at work in Cambridge and most of my RPG books are at my parents house in NJ): Runequest Riddle of Steel Gatecrasher 2300 AD Pendragon Tunnels & Trolls Mechwarrior 3rd...

I've only known a few female roleplayers, but except for a couple people who were just jerks to begin with, no male gamers I know treated them the way you describe here. Are you *sure* your boyfriends friends will treat you that way? I mean, have you tried to play and they've acted that way...

Donjon is alright. The mechanics leave a lot to be desired, though.* Too random, IMHO. Because of the "if I have one die higher than your highest, none of your dice matter" mechanic the game essentially turns into a dice-off. And you don't get to add skill or anything. You just get more...

According to slashdot, the prosecutor siad: 'I mean, you have many, many stab wounds and those 'Dungeons and Dragons' fantasy games involve swords and knives and daggers and things of that nature. There may be a connection but I can't say for sure.' And this man went to law school? I weep for...

I think I've had PCs die in the first game of the campaign twice. If it wasn't the first game, it was the first adventure. Once my brother was playing a female ninja who managed to get thrown in jail (I think because she failed to escape some guards when she ran off into town to loot instead...
