    [OT] What can you all tell me about Rifts?

    Hold the phone... Okay okay, it's obvious I'm in the minority here but here goes. In rifts game balance doesn't matter. I've have game mastered a group for close to two years and in that time I had every thing from a charater that attained demigod status for a little while to a few lowly...

    Character question.

    LOL!!! This would even funnier if I didn't know poeple that would say those exact word. It's even worse becasue they're not 5 years old. (Shakes head) But hey, at least they provide me with hours of mirth right? :)

    A DM's main priority is...

    Well I agree with almost all the options being the DM's job at one time or another. But the number one job is to make sure the players, AND the DM are having fun. If it's not fun the do something else. I've played in a campaign were the everybody except the DM was having fun. It got so bad he...

    New Wave does suck!

    Well, I've ordered from them too and the order did take awhile to show, but is was during the christmas season. My only complaint was the lack of being able to really contact somebody about the order. But again, it was the Christmas season and I didn't see it as too much of a problem, everybody...

    ...so how was Valentines Day?

    Ouch. Seems there's an awful lot of folks out there lonley or down right miserable with this "holiday". As for me, I've never really had a problem with valentines day. If I was with somebody, great. If I wasn't, call up a single female friend and go out. Of course now that I'm married I...

    The most terrifying place to have a battle

    I know its been said, but an underwater research lab was the scariest shadow run fight scene I've ever played in. We were so far down there was no way to get back to the surface without a sub or pressurized diving bell. Which we didn't have. Then there was the fact that everbody there was...

    As the icosahedron turns.....

    Yes I have. It was beatiful too! My wife playing her monk Lielah tumbled in and took a swipe at a creature doing subdual damage as she wanted to capture it and do some interrogations. She rolls and up pops the twenty. Next comes the confirm and up comes another. Final one comes up again and up...

    Secret skill checks, DM or player rolls?

    Hmm, I let me PC's make all of their rolls themselves. But I make them roll lot's of oddball roles to keep them on their toes. I have three quarters of my party terrified of a small pool of brackish water because they had to make a fort check when they walked through it. Now, some of them are...

    Do you Dm or do you Play?

    Hmm, well I've been doing the lions share of the DMing for about the last year now. There was baout a month break though that I got to play. Simply a dungeon delve hack and slash though. No real story line or plot behind it. Damn, this is almost depressing. I really need to get one of my...

    What levels do you most enjoy playing?

    Simply put I enjoy the mid levels' up to about 10 the most. Basically because they allow me to create the character and then role play them upm tp that power level. Then I can have a history behind the character, their items (remember when we fought that ettin and got your sword out of his...

    Here's a low-level D&D adventure for you

    Darn darn darn. I hate it when work blocks perfectly good non-work related sites for no other reason than because they think I should be working.

    [poll] So you have a familiar, which one?

    I have an ice mehpit named "Still". I named him in homage to an NPC from another DM's campaign. The orginal Still was an ice elemental that stood about three feet tall and had a slight god complex. Twas a great campaign the mighty DM Panada wove and I will sorely miss it.

    PC's fighting NPC's who are classed...

    well, since I just last week ran an encounter with a ogre I ckassed with some levels of adept I'll tell you what happened. The one ogre ended up beating the snot out of two PC's before the rest of the party ripped him apart. You see the problem I found is that you can class up a monster to...
