    What makes you geeky?

    What makes me geeky? Man. 1) I own a TON of video games. 2) I have beaten about 98% of these games. 3) I have played Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross through enough times to see all the endings. 4) I can tell you the teams, winner, score, MVP, and probably key plays of any Super Bowl without...

    How RPGs nearly killed my creativity (and how I got it back)

    I kinda cheat a little, as far as the gaming books go. I own the old 3.0 books, d20 Modern, Unearthed Arcana, the really old Planescape box set, and Eberron, plus a PDF or two. I'm about to grab the 3.5 books from a local store for $60 for the three of them. My roommate, however, buys a fair...

    Kobold Adept4 - Balanced CR1?

    At work, so the SRD or the DMG isn't right in front of me, but I honestly can't remember -- does the Adept's spellcasting require a stat of 10 + the spell's level? 'Cause in that case, the basic kobold can't be an adept, and to shift things so he can, he'd probably lose other benefits. But if...

    How many female gamers in your group?

    Was in an old group with a female DM and one other female player, with four male players. In my current one, it's four guys, one girl (my girlfriend, who got interested in gaming by listening to all the gaming stories we told), with one other player's girlfriend doing guest spots anytime she...

    Weaving the plot around the characters

    I'm running two Final Fantasy campaigns (same time, same world, one party's actions eventually affect the other -- that right there is more fun than anything else, to me), and I'm building each campaign completely around the party. The first thing I did was create the world -- the people, the...

    Homebrew vs. Published settings

    When I run games, I run homebrews. The main reason is the freedom. I've been running one game for about a year and a half now. I've got about five major cities detailed, and another few major locations. I've got a ton of NPCs spread out all over the place, and a lot of plots going as well. I...

    Tell me a love story!!!

    Well, I don't know if I really have time to tell the "how we met" story, but to sum it up in a paragraph or two, Meghan and I met in a writer's workshop/comic fanfic online group, she lived in Overland Park, Kansas, and I lived in Radford, Virginia at the time, during my semester of college...

    Why do you game?

    I run games because I love creating. I like to pretend I'm a writer every now and then, since I'm decent at writing but really bad at actually sitting down and doing it; yet I can find myself writing pages and pages of notes. For one game of mine, including the system stuff and world writeups...

    20 D&D products in 2004; what did you buy?

    I picked up Eberron the week it came out, and Unearthed Arcana because I was bored and was in the vicinity of a gaming store. Never do that. I don't NEED a book of variant rules, yet I have one.... but I have used it in some design stuff, so it works out. My roommate buys more books than I do...

    Custom Final Fantasy-ish class question

    Okay, I run a Final Fantasy d20 game that I've put a lot of effort into, trying to create everything from scratch, and I'm starting up a second one, since my first game has gone to online with my old roommates moving. The game's only myself and two players, so it's relatively high-powered, with...

    Internet Romance: Dream or Reality?

    I met my girlfriend over the Internet, and I wasn't looking for one at the time, which is I think how it worked. I was on IRC a lot at the beginning of college as part of a writer's workshop, and started talking to a girl out in Overland Park, Kansas. After a while we realized that we were...

    Do you use accents/"funny voices" when playing your PC?

    Voted sometimes: I do when I'm running a game, and oftentimes it's not too silly a voice, I just change my inflection or tone so my players can tell who it is. Adds to the distinctiveness of a recurring villain, if done right. When I'm playing, not so much, because it'd be exhausting if it were...

    Campaigns you hope to run someday before you die

    Games I'd like to run: Final Fantasy d20 This is kind of less the d20 FF project I've seen linked off EN World and more what I tried to do with a homebrew setting, although I did pilfer a lot from that for my magic and such. I created a world in more the FF7/FF8 style, and wrote about 43,000...

    Gamers in the KCMO area

    The store is Gamer's Quest right off 87th -- this would be a while back. The Battlezone's also pretty close by to where I am. And I really need to go to Table Top and check it out -- haven't lived here long. Always interested in a good game of D&D.

    Gamers in the KCMO area

    Located in Overland Park, here -- I live right next to an occasionally good, occasionally confusing gaming store (On one hand, "We've got a huge selection of d20 books, all 25% off now," and on the other, "What's Eberron?"), and I'm looking to get a group of any sort started up -- got one...

    Pain-in-the-a** Players

    Is your group smaller than most? My core group is just myself and two players -- we lost one and are lucky enough to be gaining another one, but until we can either get someone else interested in gaming or advertise for a few new faces in the OPK area, it's just the three of us. We've been...

    The DM's Screen

    When I ran my Final Fantasy game, I had a screen up to keep my notes and stat blocks for the villains hidden. I had a PHB nearby to take care of any rules things, but I didn't really need an actual out-and-out 3.5 screen. So we used this beat-up "Sun & Storm" DM screen. I have no idea if that...

    Why is there no Gen-Con East, anyhow?

    I think a gaming convention should be held in Kansas City -- we're equal distance from practically -everyone-! In all seriousness, I don't think the market for a KC con would be high enough -- the biggest thing going for us is logically setup roads and manageable traffic. Having come from the...

    Now that you have Eberron - will you run it?

    I don't have a group (not really -- girlfriend's getting interested in gaming, but starting her off easy in a not-fantasy setting), but I am working on an Eberron adventure of some sort. I just need to find a group.

    KC Game Day - July10th at 31st Century Games

    July 10th? One confirmed here, one all-but confirmed ("Yeah, should work just fine, don't let me forget"), one possible added to that. So, two, maybe three. I'll know about the third tonight.
