    Ashamed of being a Gamer?

    Oh, I get that. The original My Little Pony was a stupid, insipid little kid's show that only appealed to people with roughly the IQ of a carrot. If you were not an 8 year old girl, there was nothing in this show that could possibly be for you. But what Lauren Faust did with the revamp bears...

    Configuring links is messy....accidental double post.

    Ashamed of being a Gamer?

    Privacy and hiding/lying/dishonesty are very different things. For me, the latter would utterly destroy my trust in the person who was supposed to be my best friend and life partner. I personally could not live that way. It is not my business to tell other people how to live, though...

    Ashamed of being a Gamer?

    I am cheerfully out and proud as a gamer. I have a MUCH harder time admitting to watching My Little Pony. Picture my face when a fully grown man says to me, "I've been watching My Little Pony and I - mumble mumble blush - really like it. Watch an episode with me?" After I got done with...

    Dumberest D&D tropes and combinations (any edition)

    The towns have no visible economy. The inhabitants spend all their time in the local tavern quaffing ale and offering adventurers gold to delve into dungeons with no visible ecology. The dungeons have no history, and they exist for no reason except to house an eclectic assortment of monsters...

    Dumberest D&D tropes and combinations (any edition)

    It can be done and has been done; it's a legit fighting style. I really hated running up against dual wielders in the SCA, since I was sword-and-board. Oh, the openings they can find. One of those buggers broke my arm that way. Dual wielding giant hammers I'm less sure about. I've never...

    Can a Whip be 'Vorpal'

    A bullwhip in the for-real world can cut metal. A pretty standard show demo is slicing a soda can neatly in half with a relatively small whip (4' to 6' throws). If done correctly, the whip cut looks like it was made by a knife, and you can drink the remaining liquid in what is now a standing...

    Homemade D&D module from 1981

    Homemade D&D module, 1981 - Boing Boing Just for the amusement and nostalgia value. Man, I remember writing up stuff like this. No idea where my handwritten and typed notes went to, though. One of these days I need to go through those boxes in the attic.

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    Ahh, Oghren of the creative oaths. I'd missed that bit of dialogue, mostly because you would have to download an awful lot of mods to change that bit of scenery over to involve Zevran and Alistair instead of Isabela and Leliana. Come to think of it, I do believe I should investigate this...

    Shemeska's Planescape Storyhour (Updated 29 Jan 2014)

    Yes, he has all of it. I bought all the DA stuff that I could get my hands on, which is to say every bit of it that Bioware has produced to date. Then I went and downloaded a ton of fan-created content and mods, some of which is good, some of which is meh, and some of which is not exactly PG...

    Things to Talk To in the Dungeon

    Works great for a house game, less well if you're working for a convention and can't boot paying members just for being munchkins. My solution was to throw some +5 vorpal chainmail into a random loot pile. Invariably it would get grabbed up by a munchkin who was not smart enough to consider...

    Things to Talk To in the Dungeon

    A grumpy bound fire elemental used by the mages to do the cooking and central heating. He might have a bit of a "flaming" prima donna personality and be quite persnickety about how the cooking gets done, as well as being the long-suffering type with a martyr complex. Think C-3PO crossed with...

    Things to Talk To in the Dungeon

    Good players: Will roleplay and talk to the sphinx. Bad players: "Yeah, we know, the answer to your riddle is "man", now give us our XP already." *bored expressions* Munchkin players: *completely ignores anything the creature says* "Hey cool, a sphynx. It's only got 8d10+8 hit points and...

    Fight Your Own Summon for XP, would you allow it?

    EVERYONE needs a rust monster mount. Whatchutalkinbout. No idea what you're pointing to there, sorry. I'm not really from around these parts; my gaming interests usually aim a bit to the left of here. I mostly lurk to keep up with Shemeska's topics. Eg, to add +1 to success rolls for dinner...

    Dungeon graffiti

    Probably nothing we can post here without using a lot of asterisks. Graffiti can be nice flavor/fluff text, especially in a city setting. I don't do a lot of "dungeon crawls" per se, where the premise is that for some reason you have a bunch of underground rooms populated by monsters guarding...

    "Make your own" - magic symbols and glyphs

    Can I use these to cast the Mind Bondage spell on my father so he'll buy me $200 worth of D&D books and equipment?

    Fight Your Own Summon for XP, would you allow it?

    This. I haven't used official D&D world settings or rules since 2e, and my memory is pretty hazy on it. Mechanics and D&D game specifics are not my strong suit. I really don't have much to contribute that is likely to be relevant or perfectly usable as-is in your game. Folks who aren't...
