Hah! Okay, I live practically right next to the thing -- I live in an apartment complex in the neighborhood, so I found that on a walk to the library. It's behind the Arby's and McDonald's in that strip mall, back behind it a little ways where you can't see it from the road. I don't think it's a...

Slightly unrelated... Despite having lived here in Overland Park for the last howevermanyit'sbeen months, I only know where a couple gaming stores are -- one at 87th and Grant (and I have no idea what it's called), and the Battlezone at 95th and Quivira-ish across from Oak Park Mall. What other...

Either month works fine with me, and I'm very flexible on dates.

Taren, I moved here from the Alexandria, VA area last August. I'm definitely enjoying it out here, and I've been hoping another Gameday would happen. My roommate's definitely in -- I was telling him about it, and he's a D&D player from back in AD&D (not that long ago, but when you're 22 and...

For a Kansas City gameday, I am -so- there. I've been without a group for about three months now since one of my roommates left to move back to Virginia, so I've been trying to find a way to meet other gamers around here. Either May or Jun works for me, and my other roommate will probably be in...

For some reason, a rapping bard really makes me think of the scene in Robin Hood: Men in Tights, with the narrator (or whatever he was) telling the story via cheesy rap. I need to see that movie again.

I stay away from classic rock as much as possible, prefering instrumentals of any sort (from Linkin Park to Riverdance to Final Fantasy and back again). I've played in a game set in the late 90's, in a modified World of Darkness setting, where the GM played music from that time period, depending...

My favorite PC came in a Mage: The Ascension game, with my old, three-person-total gaming group. One PC was Lucius, a mage from a Hermetic colony on Io, and a rival of the major NPC that traveled with us named Joaquin, also from that Hermetic colony on Io. Their colony was overrun by an alien...

Horribly clunky title, I know. Okay, to give some background for the question, so it makes sense. I ran a game that recently came to a premature end -- my attempt at a homebrew from almost the ground up. I had the idea in my head to create a Final Fantasy d20 game, and I couldn't find one...

I had a Lawful Evil character who was later redeemed, a fighter/sorceror named Christian Kendall, whose chosen weapon was the heavy flail. The game was a homebrew one, with planar magic being outlawed, and Christian (being half-fire-elemental) had been summoned there by some mad wizard who had...

Man, I feel young. I'm 21 (22 in two months), and I'm one of the few people I know that game that didn't start in elementary school. I played in my first game in 1999, my junior year of high school, a solo AD&D thing that I didn't get into too much. Then 3rd Edition came out a little while...

Q: How many gamers does it take to change a light bulb? A: One to physically change the lighbulb, one to make a horrible joke related to the changing of the lightbulb, one to follow up on the joke for ten minutes, and one to block the dice the DM throws at them for stretching a two-minute...

From a past and possible future Alexandria resident... I lived in Triangle, VA, for a long time and commuted to Alexandria for work, at one of those associations everyone's talking about. Prices are dropping on some apartments, at least in Alexandria -- I'm seeing stuff I could afford on my old...

I have... one set of 8 for D&D, 10 10-sided dice for White Wolf, and some assorted dice I've picked up over the years. I've got the d20 I keep in my car "just in case of an emergency" and the "Random DM Fun Die" which is a d4, and is used for miscellaneous stuff, like "Is there a pot with...

Favorite monster... Hmm. High-level? I've always been a fan of templates. Just one, mind you -- but the earth-elemental dragon, or fire-elemental hydra, those just seem neat. Basic monsters that are high CR, have to go with devils and demons. SR, DR, resistances and immunity -- you can't just...

I'll argue the Intelligence point with you. Charisma I waffle on -- hack and slash, for non-sorcs or clerics, or to an extent paladins, yeah, it's not so useful. But Intelligence? "Okay, roll a Spot check." "I, uh, don't have Spot." "Huh? Why not?" "Well, with my Intelligence modifier, I've...

Actually, what this reminds me of is Ivy's sword in Soul Calibur 1 and 2, the standard short sword that can be lengthened into a wicked-looking jagged whip. Great idea for a D&D game, but I don't have the first idea on how to implement it. I think for something like that, though; A) I...

I like it. I find it a lot easier to run than 3rd-Ed D&D. I threw together a simple infiltrate-the-warehouse-and-kill-the-cult-leader-that-actually-is-a-mage for two 6th-level characters in hardly an hour, and ran off the fly most of the way. We had no problems, I had to stop and look up one or...

Gotta agree... Chiming in on "crunchy." Never liked the word to describe anything but crackers. I don't like "crunchy" guitars, I don't like "crunchy" rock, I don't like "crunchy" -anything-, and I don't even -know- what it means in D&D vernacular. Now, if we're talking crunchy petrified oozes...

Currently, we game maybe once a month, for 4-5 hours. After I move to Kansas City with my old group in August, we're starting up three games (each of us running once a week, making that three games a week) with two sessions probably running four-six hours depending on traffic after work, and one...
