Well, anyone who runs Forgotten Realms know how many religions there are to choose from! ;) Here's how I approach it: Does the town have one particular trade that dominates? Examples: Farmers - Chauntea Fisherman- Umberlee Caravans/Merchantiles- Waukeen Military Outpost/Frontier Town-...

I'll say this....I've worked on enough licensed products from various sources (Star Wars, Star Trek, Indy, DC heroes), to say that it's a beee-yatch to deal with. All of the editors/acquisitions editors lamented the same thing- when you work with a license, you have to make sure you do it the...

Once at GenCon, I attended a meeting held by West End Games for their stable of freelancers. They were pitching the idea of Shatterzone to us. Nigel was one of the writers, and I'll always remember him sitting there, in the circle, leaning forward, with this look of genuine interest and...

Hehehehheh....Like I said, I don't like confrontation. ;) I also feel a little more reluctant kicking out someone that one of my established gamers invited, as opposed to someone I invite in who simply doesn't work out! Which reminds me, I'm actually engaged in a still-running blocking action...

OK, out of fairness, I thought the original post said "18th birthday" too! :D I think my evil brain sort of transposed a few words or sumtin. In any event, belated happy returns, Elephant. And rest assured that everyone at some point or another has a disappointing birthday or two...or...

Yeah, she may not be much to look at but she really grows on you after a while! :::waterfowls and diahrrea:::

Absolutely. And speaking for myself, at least, my faith's not worth having if it can be shaken up by a simple off-topic conversation before or after a gaming session! :) But as a rule, I tend to keep matters of politics and religion away from the gaming table (and a few other topics like...

It is said that doctors make the worst patients. It is also said that the chefs and restaurant managers make the worst customers. I'm a GM, pure and simple. I enjoyed my tenure as a player for a couple of years, but ultimately I belong on the DM's side of the screen. It's where I'm happiest...

In my life, roleplaying has (so far) provided me with: 1. ...an outlet for my writing skills, that paid money! 2. ...my thoroughly amazing wife....who plays in my Realms campaign and runs Cthulhu Gaslight! ;) 3. ...a forum to be an effective Christian witness without being preachy or corny...

Thanks!!! :D Yes, despite my wise-arse attitude here, laced with curmudgeonly talk, I'm actually a softie. I'm more of the Wallace Shawn/T-Rex from Toy Story, going "I don't like confrontation!" ;) Yes, the thing with my daughter DID raise my eyebrows, but, as I said before, her two...

Our current Realms campaign has 11 people. The most I've ever run in a continuous, sustained campaign was 17 in an AD&D campaign back in college. Here's my observations: 1. Make sure the phrase "So, does everyone agree on this?" is used a LOT by you. 2. If you're creating your own adventures...

"logic and practical information do not seem to apply here"- Spock, 'A Piece of the Action'

Yes, for a brief shining moment I did forget the difficulties inherent in being the Lord and Master of a Sprawling Fast Food Empire, and being a clown. My apologies for my insensitivity and gross inconsideration! Poor clown's holding down two jobs, and here I am dissin' him. Sorry...so sorry...

Say what? Nearly every FR character has to account for their activities during the Time of Troubles? How so? For the record, I thought the Time of Troubles was a concept whose awfulness was only exceeded by the way that concept was carried out and told. But that's just my opinion, and is kinda...

Ah, but you see, if you like the people you game with, then petty trifles like that are brushed aside. :) Those things, at least as far as I'm concerned, only become points of condemnation when the person is already being a jerk. It's like the rancid cherry on the crap sundae, know what I mean...

:::Channeling Elan::: Zug has boobies....

Considering my wife's and my tastes towards horror, those two would actually not be so bad! :lol: Anyone who'd ever give my kids a Chicken Dance Elmo would get the rare chance of seeing me in action, swinging a baseball bat. And I'd destroy the doll too! ;)

Favorites: Sharp as a mashed potato sandwich Soft as puppy poop in a sneaker Dumb as a sack of hair Now...onto the real topic... Speaking as someone who went through a divorce about 5 years ago, I can say that, even in the best of circumstances, it's never an easy thing. My first wife and I...

Oh man....I love Quiznos, despite their lame ad campaign with the talking baby. Those commercials blow monkey chunks. After Quiznos, I'd have to go with Subways and Wendys.

And that is why I consider the most horrific Christmas item I've ever seen to be "Chicken Dance Elmo". :eek:
