That's not "winning." That's called progression. When, at the end of an RPG session have you ever pumped your fist, looked at the other players around the table, and uttered the words, "I win!"? (Barring of course that you're playing a game that encourages player vs. player competition. It's...

As has been brought up before, the board game comparison is not a fair one. But I'd like to propose that it's not a fair comparison for a different reason - board games have a very specific objective: win. P&P RPGs do not. They are open-ended, and the end objective of each game is up to the...

To be fair...up until 3e D&D, gnomes were restricted to being an illusionist if they wanted to be an arcane caster in D&D. =/

It really depends on your group, and what kind of game you want to run. If you want to put together a long running string of adventures that all tie together, then you probably want the super-adventure module. If you just want to drive your players crazy, frustrate them, and make their lives...

I had more trouble getting my players to not laugh at (and alter) their name than I did running them in combat. Of course, I was using the Kestrekel Swarm... ;)

This whole exchange between Imaro and Scribble is a brilliant, shining example of the divide that exists between what I'm increasingly seeing as two different schools of thought on the Online CB. (For the record, I tend to side with Scribble on this subject - I always saw my usage of the CB as...

Curse you! ;)

First off- I know I have a few players who peruse these forums. If you're one of them, kindly retreat and back out now, and I won't be forced to destroy you Friday night. I'm going to be concluding my group's Halloween Ravenloft excursion this Friday (due to some excellent RP, things got...

Assuming such an announcement might hypothetically be made, you know, whenever such an announcement would be in the hypothetical pipeline...when might we hypothetically anticipate that hypothetical announcement be hypothetically announced? In the next 2 weeks? The next month? Hypothetically...

Sorry, nope. Silverlight doesn't run on iOS. It doesn't mean that Wizards won't some day introduce a mobile app for the online CB, but the soon-to-be released version will not run on any mobile platform except for the Windows Phones that are about to come out.

Smallerized! Smallerized for your convenience!

Yes. (Brevity!)

I'd XP you, but apparently I need someone else to post something XP-worthy for me to shower praise upon them first. Thanks mudbunny.

Hey, I just call 'em like I see 'em. The only people I know who call forums or message boards "BB's" or "bulletin boards" are people old enough to remember connecting on a 9600 K modem (or slower) to CompuServe or Prodigy (or directly to the "BB" they wanted). ;)

"Bulletin Board", I assume. A bit of an "antiquated" name for a message board.

I don't know that we've ever made an official "no X at the table" rule in any of my groups, but we should have in one case. In the last year, I've played in or DM'd 3 different groups. One is a long-running monthly game of old friends who just "get it." We joke, we laugh about the last...
