    Age of Conan. Anyone played it?

    I played it when it first came out for about 3 months. Felt like I was playing an Alpha build or something. DX10 was taken out the first day. Guild PvP was... I don't even know what was going on with that. Buggy as all hell. And I remember saving up money for a horse and then a week later they...

    Fudging the Numbers in 3ed - Forked from: Why do you keep playing 4e?

    Heck yea. Sometimes, while DMing a game a player physically getting up from the table, going to the fridge and grabbing me a cold beer would do more damage to the BBEG than a succesful Power Attack from a Raging Barbarian with Bull Strength an a +3 Great Axe could in one round. I fudged those...

    ENworlder: How long have you been gaming?

    Started around summer, aught two. Although that's just with publicly sold games (i.e.: D&D) for the masses. I can remember playing a game my friends an I simply called "Quest" as far back as in 5th grade. If I were to count that, then I really would be 15-16 years. It was a sort of diceless...

    Did You Buy the First Three 4e Core Books?

    Nope. For starters I've decided that RPG rule books should cost $25 or less and be all inclusive in a single book instead of 3+. IMHO if you need more than one book, then there are 'too many rules' for the game.

    MMORPG/MMO games you anticipated, only for it to be canceled or disappointing?

    Ick, MMOs. They have vexed me from the very beginning. I think the only MMO I ever 'liked' was when I tried a free 10 day trial of EVE Online. If they 'restarted' EVE I would join in a heart beat, but from what I understand as it is now, player run Companies (aka Guilds) pretty much dominate...

    Any games to get excited about in 2009?

    From experience, bennies and cards for initiative are the least complex parts of the system.

    Fiction You Read Over the Past Year

    Well, of the books I read this year most were non-fiction and thus don't apply to the poll. But I got a half dozen Sci-Fi books in there along the way. Mostly just short story compilation type books, you know "Years Best SF" or whatnot.

    What motivated you to purchase splatbooks for 3e?

    Simple, I was a newborn to the wonderful world of RPGs around the release of 3rd/Revised 3rd edition and naive, so thought those extra books would actually help my game.
